Should use Linux Subsystem for Windows instead.
the entire reason I switched to Linux – back in January I asked myself “if I have to fight my operating system to make it work right for me anyways, why pay for the privilege?”
like sure updates break things on Linux too occasionally but at least they don’t reinstall spyware I had to spend a day ripping out after the last update.
Wine would like a word
I was just thinking this. If you’re dev, being on pure Linux makes a ton of sense. But if you’re a gamer, Windows is still your best option.
As someone who just last week cut windows out it does feel like this can be true. I am annoyed that xorg doeskin handle multiple monitors with varied refresh rates, so you use wayland instead, but wayland doesn’t play nice with remote access programs, and then you find out that nothing will allow you to use gsync/freesync unless all of your monitors can use it. Also as someone who uses Autocad daily I have to figure out a gpu passthrough VM at some point.
So i am losing the some of my “ideal” setup in my move to linux, but im still happy to lose a smidgen of things I want for the far greater advantage of not worrying about windows updates reinstalling bloatware, or harvesting data that goes above and beyond what anyone else has been doing up to this point. I’m kind of unwilling to have my OS monitoring me, and i can read the witting on the wall, it will only get worse.
