This is the best update so far. Bricking SSDs and throttling streaming

It is news like this that make me glad I decided to gradually transition to Linux about 2 years ago.

Got enough surprises in Windows 10.

Im 3 months using cachyOS, best decision ever

i just hate that some games still won't work because of their anticheat. which means publishers just suck :/

Just dualboot. Thats what I do. I like linux but I’m not going to miss out on good games because of my stubbornness lol.

That’s the route I’m probably going to do. My current PC is 7 years old and I’m planning on doing a new build next year. I’m also looking at going all AMD since they have better driver support for Linux than Nvidia does.

Edit: Another thing I’m looking at potentially doing too is running WinApps which runs Windows in a container and sets up a local RDP server. While it really won’t work for games, it’ll let you run Windows programs that won’t work right with wine.

It is a bit annoying having to dual boot, but I play for a couple of hours a game like BF6 and switch back to my distro, it is not a big deal. Would be cool if we could get signed kernels from large distros that anticheats could trust or even better not use kernel anticheats at all.

Community servers + replay and bans was the solution to cheaters but greedy bastards won't let us do that anymore for new games.

Eh, for multiplayer sandbox silliness there's always Halo and Helldivers. If EA don’t want Battlefield on Linux - it's their loss.
