Comment on Windows boss promises to heal the operating system's wounds

As long as it continues to play my games without issue, I couldn’t care less what they do with it. I use a second machine with a KVM switch; Windows runs games only and the second machine running linux does absolutely everything else. Installing fresh, blocking telemetry and blackholing windows update domains has worked fantastically for years.

Consider trying to play the same games that you regularly play on linux and see if you could be free of Redmond’s touch

I do play with it every once in a while but if it’s not problematic setting up or there are some settings that don’t work correctly, invariably, there will eventually come a game update that breaks it on linux.
For all it’s flaws, the games I play have never needed more than an install in Windows. I know that may not be the case for all games, I can only speak to the games I enjoy playing.
I have used it since the 90s as my main machine and have nothing but love for it but Linux is not there yet for my gaming needs.
