> Linux is great for gaming... if you dual boot Windows for when it's not

Preach. Say it loud so the folks in the back can hear.

Eventually dual boot gets annoying as well. So most people just get two boxes linked via a kvm and run linux on the older box and windows on the new box. Or they give up gaming altogether.

I just gave up on the games that didn't work and ditched Windows. There are enough supported great games to last a lifetime, the few that don't aren't enough of a reason to deal with Windows.

That's okay, I can stop dualbooting once win10 is out of support and the hassle will be gone!

Though I've been refunding games that don't run on proton sometimes as well, because dual booting does indeed get annoying! Perhaps, if missing out on the Deck userbase isn't a motivator enough, we can add some more lost revenue to the motivators convincing devs to use cross-platform or ideally linux-native environments.

Or I'll just stop gaming. Parasite publishers have ruined most of the fun I get from video games the past decade or so, and their product certainly isn't good enough to convince me to go through 5+ ads every time I boot windows for the experience.
