Agree I switched to Linux gaming about 4-5 years ago and cannot be happier. Just finished Expedition 33 and it ran flawless. Even setting up a simple OBS desktop to capture HDMI and stream ... so much easier with Linux than Windows. No forced updates, no random reboots, no annoying widgets, no AI integration... just does what I want it to. Why Microsoft just won't release an stripped down edition and make it afforable and easily accessible is beyond my understanding. I am now an old timer and 15-20 years ago I would do almost everything on a PC simply and efficiently now I find Linux gets this job down hands down better than anything Microsoft has to offer.
