In some ways linux is slow getting closer to be the best for gaming. In some games I'm getting higher fps then i do under windows.
But also anticheat is fucking dumb and anoying.

I wish I had a vr headset but then i would need to dualboot windows. as running vr in a vm sounds like a headake factory.

On my steam deck I run windows vista
and on my main computer I run STEAMOS2.0

Nah in all seriosness the steamos 3.0 is great.
But for some reason valve doesn't officaly support archlinux but they use it for the steam deck.

I run linux on everything now though.

I personally use Mypal, it's a pretty good port of a newer version of firefox. I think you can get it at https://mypal-browser.org/

I can't get along with Linux as I find it confusing but SteamOS makes Linux really easy to understand, and if Windows gets unbearably bad I'll main SteamOS 3 when Valve officially releases it as a desktop OS.

You could use OneCore API for most modern programs, for example Chrome 100, but it is extremely buggy.

Oh also, modern driver support. Forgot that. doing the sata driver update thing with a floppy disk made me do unspeakable things. SadCool

yeah you can get xp to mostly work on anything haswel or older but anything newer then that it doesnt work too well.
on most haswel desktops as long as the gpu supports xp (is from like 2014 or earlier) you can run xp.
I think the fastest xp machine would be like a 4790k (or what ever the extreme edition counterparts are) and a titan x

Windows 11 when I need it, macOS for the 99% of time I don't.
