These days it’s easier to game on Linux than it is to debloat Windows

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I've been a hardcore Linux gamer for 15+ years, but there's some games that just don't work on Linux, unfortunately. Sim racing was something I wanted to get into so I could get familiarity with some tracks before I actually go drive them, so putting up with windows long enough to launch the games is something I can deal with.

If M$ starts sending me ads mid game, then I might start looking for other solutions.

That's absolutely untrue. The debloat tools have a GUI and presets where it's basically a single click to run them.

I seriously tried gaming on Linux with like 5 different distros, and it was a struggle to get things running not completely awfully. Windows doesn't have those issues.
