i keep hoping google will stop giving me reasons to switch ,because i can't be bothered to move all my passwords and stuff over, but every year they keep making it harder. Likewise, I desperately want to stay on windows because of anticheat, but every year they keep making it harder.

Make the switch now! Gaming on Linux is really only getting better every year with much hard work from valve. Outside of developers opting out pretty much every single game works out of the box. I value my limited leisure time and to be able to just jump on my computer and start playing without any annoying nags about windows updates or restart this and strange unexplainable issues. Move all of your passwords and logins too!

  Someone in the Thief community was celebrating the Nightdive remaster announcement because it is apparently getting much harder with each passing year to install and run the Dark Engine games on Windows; meanwhile I've been doing this multiple times a year for about a decade with Lutris.

  There are still games you simply can't play on Linux, e.g. Valorant/LoL can't be played on Linux because of Riot Game's kernel-level anti-cheat. And as a highly addicted LoL player it's one of the only two reasons I still have Windows taking up 200GB of my precious hard drive space.

    Stop playing Valorant/LoL until its available, its as simple as that really. Vote with your wallet

Those passwords are not yours unless you did the work and enabled on-device encryption which is disabled by default.

There's an automatic import tool. It takes 30s. Settings -> Import Browser Data. Select Chrome. It even prompts you during installation, in case you don't want to scan through the settings page.

It takes two mouse clicks to import bookmarks, cookies and passwords from one browser to another.
