I understand Linux has come a long way, but it is not better for gaming yet, and people are delusional if they think so. I’ve ran into a ton of issues with Linux. Sifu, for example, crashes any time I go into a menu on Linux. Shit like that is pretty common.
Depends on what you mean by “better”. Linux respects my privacy, and that makes it “better”. Running some random new game is a secondary concern for me. I was fine with xgalaga in 2000, I was fine with WoW in 2005, fine with Minecraft in 2010, and the selection today is bonkers.
I agree but since many things require tweaking still it’s got a long way to go before your average person can consider it an easy alternative to windows
You can still upgrade, you’ll just have unactivated windows 10; that can be fixed in less than 5 minutes with a trip over to github. You might need a boot drive, but you won’t lose any data which I assume is the main concern.
Windows 10 is easier.
Pshh, it’s way easier to hunt down random drivers and still be unable to play any online game.

We are getting there with linux, especially with Steam OS.

It isn’t though, unless you can still upgrade from 7 without making a boot disk. But I’m pretty sure those days are long over.
