That's like bouncing back to eating a turd sandwich because you've found a pit in your peach dessert.
If you are a gamer, you don't care, me thinks, sadly so
That was a valid reason 15 years ago, but wine/proton have gotten really really good.
But still, from my very brief experience, sometimes it requires fiddling or game might just not work or crash here and there. Whereas games on windows just work. More or less. Remember, there are plenty of none tech savvy gamers out there who just want to play games.
Windows isn't as bad as you think / remember it
Windows 11 is unacceptable. Full stop.
They had years to fix it and just kept making it worse and worse.
It is actually unusable. Like seriously unusable. I'm not even exaggerating.
for most people Windows is just a Chrome launcher. so it is "usable" ig
I do remember it as worse, when it was Windows 98 and Win 7 - not even taking about the horror that Win 8 resembled
And coming back to it from time to time, because I need it for a stubborn program (really, Datalogic, get your shit together) or because I need to help family, it has gotten so much worse since that...
