I absolutely respect your effort regarding privacy! I honestly don’t want to know how much data about me is collected by companies monitoring the internet even though I barely post anything on social media. And I believe most people - me included - are just too lazy to really take care of their own (internet) privacy and/or think „I have nothing to hide anyways“.
Anyways what I was trying to say is that the fight shouldn’t exist. Everyone should use what they want without having to argue why this or that is better or not.
No doubt windows is still better (or more seemless) overall in regards of gaming especially since Linux kinda emulates (but not really) a windows environment which requires some fiddling here and there and there are still some issues with some Anti Cheat powered games. But still you technically can game on Linux 😄
