everyone in the comments is talking about linux, not a single comment about how this meme format is used exactly wrong
No more excuses bird!

Can you please tell my computer that? π
This isn't really how this format works but ok
It is FINALLY Linux year!!! π
I used only Linux for years... guess i not care about games.
And it still doesn't work with my NVIDIA GPU causing my monitors to freeze and stop working.
Linux isn't ready.
While many things will work 'out of the box', many won't. Hell, for like 3 months HDR was causing system-wide crashes on Plasma for Nvidia cards, so the devs just disabled the HDR options until there was an upstream fix.
There are still a host of resume-from-sleep issues, Wayland support is still spotty, and most importantly - not every piece of software will run.
Linux is my daily driver, I have learned to live and love the jank. My wife uses windows and does not want to be confronted with a debugging challenge 5% of the time when she turns on her computer, and I think that is fair.
These kinds of posts paper over lots of real issues and can be counterproductive. If someone jumps into the ecosystem without understanding, these kinds of posts only set them up for frustration and disappointment.

Wish it was ready. I have it dual booted with windows. Until these things work for me I can't permanently switch:
Adobe H264/5 in davinci free Battle.net working (I can't get it to work even with tutorials. Works in windows) AMD adrenaline/Nvidia control panels and shadow play. AMD frame gen.
The only thing there that I use is Battle.net.
This might not be helpful, but I found that installing it through Lutris worked for me. Systems and OSs are different, so it may not work for you.
Use your computer to do the things you want, and if you need to use Windows to do it, use Windows to do it.
I'd love to move to Linux but I play some old ass games that I've no idea if they'll work. I missed out a lot of games since my PC was pure ass and it's just something I like doing.
For eg I want to play OG Deus Ex (never done before), and do a replay of Morrowind with fancy mods. I also recently replayed Splinter Cell because I felt like it.
I've played Deus Ex (and the revision mod) and Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on Linux without issue. If you're playing steam games it's basically just install and play. Especially for old games.
There's a website called protondb.com you can check for compatibility. Gaming on Linux is so good now though, I don't even check anymore before buying games.
Word of warning though. While modding games running through wine/proton is possible, mod managers don't usually work or are tedious to set up. I don't mod too much so I usually just manually install or stick with steam workshop mods.
old games typically work better on linux than on modern windows versions
