    The people that prefer Windows for gaming are not the people that will have performance issues on an OS basis, their rig is powerful enough to run complex games, the OS based performance loss is negligible in comparison. Hell, I sometimes don’t reboot the work computer for days and it doesn’t freeze at all. The system is on an SSD and there are no hiccups nor disk performance issues. In any case, with current day prices, buying a new m2 stick and new ram is less than 100€ total, and to be honest, I’d rather pay that and be fine for 4-5 years than spend a big part of my free time trying to make witcher 3, baldur’s gate 3, path of exile, tons of steam games and league working perfectly for Linux. It’s just not worth it.

    I use WSL for work because coding in a Linux environment is better but I still need access to office tools, because companies work with those tools.

    Linux won the servers war, but it still has to do much to win the home/work computer war.
