Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

    To your first comment about incompatible anticheat - in must cases it’s a conscious decision the publisher makes. Are We Anti-Cheat Yet it’s a good resource. Personally I find my OS preventing me from being able to run a privacy invading rootkit to be a pro as well.

    To the second comment, a good amount of games bench better on Linux, not sure what’s going on with his system so I agree.

    Definitely unfortunate to see a creator publishing content without first doing some research but that’s more and my common nowadays.

        It’s a big problem with this guy for sure, but also he’s usually pretty good at admitting when he’s wrong and calling himself out on it. I wonder if he’ll look into this again to get some clarity.
