@sun imo windows is the best OS that is only dragged down by microsoft's insistence on adding stupid shit to it. but when you know how to disable the stupid shit i don't think there is a reason to not use it besides personal preference.
@PurpCat @sun if you want games to "just work" you can't even rely on consoles anymore. not fully. they do work better on windows (typically speaking) but you'll very often have to do some weird shit or have some weird shit happen and you'll have to figure out a solution.
but i do get what you're saying.
"Okay to run Call of Duty Burger Town Warfare 3 you need to run Wine with the blahaj patchset and set the big system morsels variable to 6 and use this renderer patch and it might crash" now try telling this to a normie who crashes out at the idea of editing an ini file or using a specific launcher with "this is fucking retarded why do I have to do all this shit"...yep
