Except it’s still hell for online games with anti-cheat. Just about every other month, another article comes out about “Linux players unable to launch…” or “Linux players banned from…”
Idk, I see this argument every time this discussion comes up but I’ve yet to experience anti cheat issues. I don’t think they don’t exist but it’s been extremely smooth sailing for me
As much as I hate being bled to death by subscription services, It’s probably still cheaper to subscribe to windows for a whole decade than use an apple computer outright for half that time.
The majority of Linux users aren’t in it because it’s free (as in free beer) anyway, and most broke gamers will likely continue to just pirate windows regardless.
However now that data usage and privacy and security is becoming a hot topic in the age of AI, I think once Microsoft and apple both start getting really brazen with their telemetry and embedded spyware, it will finally be the year of the Linux desktop! ;)
Apple is by far the worst offender of expensive shit products. It’s not going to make apple gain shit…the barrier to entry for an apple computer is just fucking stupid for what you get…nothing that good.
This is really just going to make Apple more sales and cripple the PC gaming market.
Then, Apple will do it and… maybe that will be the year of Linux desktop? 😉
Linux Gaming is now a truly viable force thanks to Steam (Proton). The PC Gaming market will be fine without Windows.

Valve is actively funding alternatives to those anti cheats and also working with them to get Linux supported. Its just not happening overnight.
Both easy anticheat and battle eye have support for Linux native and proton, it’s just down to the developers of games to enable it
Without windows more developers would likely enable support
anti-cheat software will adapt, or it will die. I will personally never use a game with an anti-cheat that has full kernel access.

Manifesting this outcome right now

My MacBook air was like 1700, it’s faster than most pcs of that price.
