iAmTheTot comments on PC Gamer: "I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good now, and if you want to feel like you actually own your PC, make 2026 the year of Linux on (your) desktop"

It's funny. I also was very hesitant to make the jump from Windows, but finally did in 2025. I was dual booting for a while until I realized I hadn't been into the Windows one in months because it was a pain in the ass for various reasons. So I just got rid of it.

I've made peace with the fact that I won't be able to play certain games. Their loss; there's plenty of other games to buy with my money.

Same.

I have a backlog of games years long, the fact that I can't put Battlefield or Valorant on that list doesn't diminish my ability to play amazing games 24/7 if I wanted.

Expedtion 33, Blue Prince, Hollow Knight, Silksong, Hades 2, ARC Raiders, Helldivers 2, Path of Exile 2, Deep Rock Galactic, etcetcetc.

I have over 200 games in my Steam library and every single one works on Linux. I'll worry about the 5 kernel anti-cheat games once I get to the end of my list...

A very old familiar story over the past couple decades or so.

Yup.

It shall continue being good to see other people get this, taking their power back, ceasing being their games dealer's bitch.
