Statcounter reports that Windows 11 continues to lose its market share for the second month in a row. Windows 10, meanwhile, is gaining more users and is now back above the 70% mark.

The only reason I still even use Windows is because of destiny 2. That's pretty much the only game I play. If there was a good stable way of doing this on Linux I wouldn't even use Windows at all.

In fact the only computer in my house that even has windows on it is my gaming rig.

Same here but with several games that don't run on Linux. For some degree, I even understand the problem, however painful it is: ANY multilayer's anticheat is a pain in the ass if you have to develop them for two OSs at the same time. Counter Strike: Source was virtually unbannable on Linux for way too long, and I'm still not sure where CS2 is standing now (I stopped back in the CSGO times).

I really don't know how we could fix this, and no, cutting off THAT many games I like is not an option (some of them even barely have a (good) alternative - think of Rocket League).

Same. Was running 10 for years, tried 11, hated it, went back to 10 until that got so bad I just installed Linux…
