The worst thing about Linux is its users
I only play competitive online. Kernel anti-cheat does not work on Linux.
Kernel anti-cheat won’t work on windows soon anyways
Ok, I’ll bite.
How come?
After the whole crowd strike debacle Microsoft is trying to remove most things from the kernel into user land, including anti-cheat. If this will actually makes wine possible for those games is still up for debate but either way kernel-level anti-cheat seems to be on the way out.

Competitive online gaming is a very small niche of the gaming community.
I beg to differ. Otherwise there would already have been an exodus to linux
People are on Windows because of inertia.
If you look at just PC gaming, Steam charts show that the big competitive kernel-level AC titles are way down, the biggest one is the newest Rainbow 6, with 80k players of the 36 million people active on Steam right now, 10 million being in-game. Funny thing is, the biggest Steam title is indeed a competitive online shooter, CS2, but it runs fine on Linux.
If it was competitive gaming that was the only reason people aren’t on Linux, most other segments would have seen a mass migration already. Competitive games can’t explain why 95%+ of the community is not on Linux.
I’m on Windows because the games i want to play doesn’t work on linux. Simple as that.
I know. What I’m saying is that your experience isn’t universal.
Numbers don’t lie.
I’m gently nudging my kid towards Linux though. But i have a feeling he will swap as soon as he encounters resistance or technical issues. Such as not being able to play the “new” game with his friends.
That first sentence is so greasy
It’s a nice outlet for my competitive nature. I get close to zero enjoyment from single player games or pve.
