Comment on Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1

I feel like this group of people are the kind that would already be on Linux though. If you’re that anti Microsoft why be on any version of Windows when such a great suitable replacement that also still works on these older systems exists?

I have plenty of Linux machines and used Unix since before Linux existed. But when I want to play WINDOWS games and dont want to deal with wine hassles I need a windows box.

  Wine hassles? It’s not 2013 anymore. Proton sets up a prefix on first run and you don’t think about it.

    You’ll probably even have more issues on Win7 for gaming than on Linux lol
    
    No DX12 support, questionable driver support from AMD/Nvidia, Win7 CPU scheduling not playing well with plenty of recent CPUs, etc.
