$30 to not have to deal with Windows 11 for another year feels like the deal of the century.
I love how they're like 'but you won't get new features!'. They may have still not figured out that nobody cares about 'new features' being stuffed into the OS, but I guess you can't have everything.
I just want all windows games to run on linux with equivalent performance and without anticheat hurdles. After that happens i'm done with windows.
Honestly, i'm really not that far off as-is. Steam Deck already runs most of my library, it's just the games that don't work with a controller that are a problem.
Linux will get multiplayer game support from those straggler game companies when people show the userbase is there. They will always follow the money. So if you stay with Windows the devs won't support Linux. So saying "I'll move to Linux once they support it", will ensure they will never support it.
My suggestion is to dual-boot for now and keep putting pressure on the game devs to support Linux. It's important to dual boot and run as many games on Linux as possible for now to show in the steam metrics that more people are leaving Windows.
