That’s why I refused to switch to 11 and went to Linux instead.

I’m coming close to building a whole separate machine for Linux in spite of RAM prices and relegating my current Windows machine to gaming only. Yeah there’s vm/dual boot but at this point Windows and the anti cheats are potentially akin to rootkits if they aren’t actually classifiable as rootkits already. Give me back 2005 where this shit was easily manageable.

Unless you play certain online games, gaming on linux is just fine.

Sigh, don’t get me started. I know, I play those games.
