I've really given up on the operating system debates. I don't think it's a very interesting subject, because I think the individual constraints are more important than general 'UX' concerns.
My personal computer usage is about 60% web browsing, 10% coding, and 30% AoE2. The game really doesn't run well through proton, at least not enough to play competitively, so I'm kinda locked onto Windows. I think it's stupid to talk about which OS to use firefox from. I'm slightly biased against MacOS here, because for some reason I can't get the extra buttons on my mouse to be forward/back... It's a stupid reason, but it's my stupid reason.
That leaves 10% coding. Most of my programming right now is JS/TS (it's really grown on me), so again the OS doesn't really matter.
- smoldesu 5y agoFWIW, AoE2 appears to have Gold compatibility[0] with Proton, meaning you can expect a Windows-like experience when launching it with Steam. Maybe it's time to give it another look? [0] https://www.protondb.com/app/221380 https://www.protondb.com/app/221380
- ddek 5y agoIt runs well enough to play SP, but the framer are is much lower and the MP laggier.
