Who could've thought that the thing Linux was worst for (gaming) would finally conquer Windows...

Upd: why down votes? Am I wrong? My first Desktop Linux was Ubuntu 6.04 in 2006. Back then I could only dream of what we're witnessing nowadays.

Good question. Maybe:

  1. Windows fanbois upset at the suggestion that Windows is starting to lose the game
  2. People in general objecting to the idea that single-digit install numbers is "conquering."
  3. Greybeards upset at a trivial misuse of compute power (games) is evidently more influential than truly worthy uses, like interpreting ctrl-alt-shift-n and running some Lisp to indent some text.
  4. You've made powerful enemies...

I'm just guessing. I have no idea; I upvoted your comment.

@lig @Sunshine BTW this is true since many years, in fact this was among the reasons that made me switch from winlol

I've removed my Windows installation available via dual boot the moment Proton was able to run NFS:)

I really thought it had dwindled for good after the failure of the original run of Steam Machines, feels great to be where we're at now
