Also a fun fact, though not completely important to this but I need to spill my knowledge lol as this ended up a big deal in my family.
Some games choose to use anti-cheat on purpose that prevent Linux users from playing their game.
Not because of compatibility, but because of the ability to run an instance of Windows as well as Linux. Why this is a big deal is that you can run hack/cheating software in the windows instance, and the game on Linux, and your hack/cheating software goes completely unnoticed, so often companies that use an anti-cheat will choose or have theirs block Linux-users completely. A few bad eggs ruined the bunch. While its possible to get around this, its actually very risky to do so. My dad attempted to do so, and the program / method that allowed him to do so corrupted somewhere, making him lose everything on his PC as he had to hard reset his PC to fix the problem, and because of how it corrupted he couldn't backup anything. So that was fun.
Anyway, this is often more so for games like Black Desert Online, Tera Online, so on so forth, but tying into our example of yours, its another reason why it's just not practical for everyone to boycott Windows because "Ew its so cringe" more than an actual reason. Some people, like myself (Though not Tera Online for me personally, as at some point unless they changed it their anticheat actually installs Spyware and doesn't actually stop running on your PC after you install it) actually enjoy games with an anti-cheat that doesn't make playing the game on Linux possible.
"Ew it's so cringe, stop playing it" is a bad reason for people to stop playing something they enjoy, because the whole point in the first place of Games is to be something fun. Not everyone have the same tastes, everyone has their own opinions.
We shouldn't make that a reason to bash and hate on each other.
Differing opinions, where it doesn't cause danger to someones life, is good. It makes us unique, not copy paste clones of each other with no individuality.
Anyway, sorry for the ramblies and this isn't particularly aimed at anyone, was originally supposed to just be a reply about the whole changing to linux thing!
Cheers, Hebgbs, you have really strong points. Hopefully "Game v Game" trends or "Game is better than Other Game" trends chill out soon lol.
