Linux famously doesn’t play nice with game anticheats like EAC
The slow adoption of functional Linux anticheats in a couple of games I play is the exact reason I use a customized windows and not Linux. At least for now
Steam deck and Proton hopefully will force this issue to be solved faster in future though, here’s hoping

I mean you probably don’t care but try running anything Adobe or commercial 3D software on Linux. It’s still pretty shit for casual gamers that don’t wanna get into the technical stuff. I’m sure there are a lot more industries that need to rely on Windows because of specialized software that either isn’t available on Linux natively or just runs like crap through wine.

Fair point with Adobe but I was pleasantly surprised when I tried gaming on Linux. Stuff just works, zero technical knowledge required. Run Steam, launch the game.
Not sure how long ago you tried gaming but Valve has done an amazing work for gaming in Linux.
