Wondering how will F2P games with anti-cheat react to the news. Knowing that much of their player base may jump ship to Linux to avoid the subscription fees, will they relent and start using less invasive anti-cheat programs, or will they try to adapt specific versions of Wine / Proton to work in rooted mode?

I think an optimistic view would be 1% of their users jump ship…until they see their game isn’t available and they jump back

meh debian is great as a server but needs a lot of work out of the box to be used as a desktop. Better off with mint if you want a great out of the box experience

Good thing that not one OS is Windows in our household and workshop.
There is literally no advantage in using Windows anymore for us.

Windows 12? Did they ever explicitly revoke the "Windows 10 will be the last"?
I thought 11 was an exception die to the hardware requirements.
But I guess any big enough change can be a new reason for the next.
