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.

Arch Linux (btw), dualbooting with Windows 10 for the rare occasional game that doesn't work with wine or for VR (why oculus )

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.

Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Pro X64 on both main and lap~~top~~, as secondary on main PC I got Windows 10 Pro latest up to date for latest software, while I am typing this from Windows XP on my main computer aswell, and I also got Vista for fun on main PC for fun with Extended Kernel, so quad boot on main and 1 OS on lap~~top~~

Imagine using arch when you could be using mint.

For my gaming pc, Windows 10 and soon-to-be-dualbooted Zorin, and for my regular pc, Windows XP.

what browser do you use.

On my Steam Deck I main SteamOS (based on Arch Linux)

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.

im using windows 10 but i would use windows xp if it had modern support all day

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.

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.
