Lol, not even Windoof is compatible with all video games.
The day Linux says all video games are compatible with their OS is yhe day I finally switch Windows for good.
Until then I’m using a pirated version of Win11Pro and wondering how this AI will work with pirated copies.

I mean Wine and steamOS’s Proton are that though? I mean compatibility isn’t perfect but the vast majority of games I have tried worked all the way from current AAA games to games like Steel Panthers WinspWW2 that is a DOS game from the 90s that barely functions on a modern windows computer but yet runs perfect on my Deck.
Pretty much the only obstacle left is stupid super invasive anticheat/spyware software that doesn’t bother to cover Linux in competitive multiplayer games.

Kernel-level anticheat and DRM are killer features, like it or not. People don’t care how invasive they are, they want to play League of Duty. If Linux can’t do that then it’s not good enough yet as far as they are concerned.
Meanwhile the only thing keeping me from switching to Garuda on my desktop is that the GPU is wonky and misbehaves even worse under Linux than it does under Windows.

Then Linux may win over Windows for gaming, but games might lose to tinkering for me. Cause no way in hell I’m installing a kernel-mode trojan consciously.

Linux can do that, see The Finals, Halo Infinite, Apex Legends or any number of other games. It’s just the anticheat companies are sketchy and often uninterested in doing even a little bit of work to add Linux support.

True, but getting someone to switch to Linux is a hard sell already. Any compatibility issues are seen as the OS’s fault, not as the game company being lazy.
