Can't wait for windows updates to get even buggier ! Seriously though I'm building an all amd gaming rig in november and never using windows again.
How is gaming on linux? I really don't want to "upgrade" to windows 11 but I also barely have any time to game in the first place let alone fool around with settings and drivers for several hours every time I install a new game or update and existing one.
I switched Windows our with Linux Zorin some weeks ago. Everything works perfect as well, I can play all the games I have on Steam
The only teal obstacle is some anti cheat software, mostly kernel level anti cheat.
So if you want to play shooters like fortnite, pubg, valorant or rainbow six siege, you are out of luck.
Otherwise, you probably won't have any issues.
Also mod support is hit or miss
Lutris and steam do most of the heavy lifting for you. Driver side should work with no fiddling required for AMD atleast, somebody with Nvidia can chime in if it's the same for them too.
You may need to add a couple Launch options for certain games on steam here and there or swap proton versions.
Games do sometimes break but then you wait a day or two and it's usually fixed.
Question is what games are you playing? If it's CoD and Fortnite I'd say stick with Windows, they won't work.
Thanks to Valve, Linux compatibility has become industry standard.
I mean if I laid off %25 of my dev team we would see a boat in productivity. They leech time from one of my senior devs and don't get any better. Def getting rid of 2/4 useless guys and giving 1 of them as much of an opportunity I've given any body and one is going to be next to go of he doesn't shape up.
They didn't do that. They went "Eenie meenie meiney moe" in the general direction of various PMs.
And the good ones run away as fast as they can. Good luck with it!
Real life doesn't work like that
Attitude like that You sound like you would be a horrible manager. No wonder they don't have the motivation or support to perform better
