It's hilarious seeing people complain about Microsoft when a free alternative exists. Humans are really curious creatures.

Up until very recently gaming is the only thing keeping my l and millions of others main pc from being Linux or Mac. I dual booted in the past but was annoyed. With all the work steam has put in I’m personally about 6 months out from just dumping Microsoft on all my personal products.

It’s impressive they have dropped the ball so hard that it’s causing a complete rethink for so many users like myself. Bullet >> golden goose.

I caught myself just recently saying that I only keep my Linux box around to play games. Steam is more painless on Linux now than on Windows.
because you have enough ram for steam because you don't have copilot?
I also stuck with them for a long time because of Windows until Proton became good enough for most games.
"Recently" is around 5 or 6 years ago.
Over a decade even if you put in a minimal amount of effort.
People will passionately tell each other to vote for [$moralParty], then willingly prop up companies which go against everything they stand for the very next day. Curious indeed.
When people make statements like this, I always wonder if you're thinking of someone specific, or if you're conflating the group with the individual
