When asked, I tell people the only Microsoft products I recommend are Excel and SQL Server. And I am not so sure about SQL Server because of its price. Now that Steam is available on Linux, if Steam packages a download that self installs Linux plus Steam on bare metal, I can say goodbye to all things Microsoft.
- mrtranscendence 4y agoMy experience with the Steam Deck seems to indicate that almost everything I've wanted to play runs fine on Linux. It's not quite perfect, but I've been surprised how few titles fail to run reasonably well. For that reason I've been super tempted to jump ship to Linux on my gaming PC (my non-gaming work is on macOS). The one thing keeping me back is the status of bluetooth peripherals, namely controllers; I've heard this can be a problem even today. My PC is hooked up to my big living room OLED so wires would be fairly inconvenient.
- rawgabbit 4y agoYes. I worry about that too. If Steam guarantees compatibility with peripherals or tell me what peripherals to buy, I am all in.
- wildrhythms 4y agoXbox GamePass is the only remaining holdover for me.
- reisse 4y agoLinux on desktop still sucks massively with even basic things. No per-display scaling in GNOME in 2022 is ridiculous. Power management on laptops is significantly worse.
