As a long time windows user I have no regrets making the switch. If it wouldn't be for the games I would not touch windows at all.

I've gone fully to Linux and all my games surprisingly run. I was ready to ditch some but I even got Blizzard stuff working which was my main concern.

I put bazitte on my desktop and left it connected to the TV. It's the most seamless linux distro I've ever used. Been using it for a year now purely with an xbox controller.

Games with anti cheat unfortunately are not supported.

some are, it depends, but i'd expect to lose access to those type. if it mattered and crossplay existed for the game i'd get a console if it was gunna be a big deal...

I switched to Mac around Vista and never looked back. For games, enlightenment is realizing the PC gaming tribalism is dumb and PlayStations are actually really nice. It's an appliance that plays games without giving you trouble, in a comfortable place instead of encouraging you to spend even more time at a desk.

If your interests lie entirely or mostly in the realm of AAA or AA games that are playable with a controller, then I completely agree.

However if your interests lie in indie games or games that require a keyboard and mouse interface (precision shooters, grand strategy games, RTS games, etc) then having a PC that can play games is completely necessary. (I say this as someone who runs linux btw, not a windows defender).

This is key. I work all day on my computer. Why would I want to go home and sit in front of another computer for hours.
