Why do I need windows again?

I do enjoy the performance and compatibility of proton but my laptops emmc is not big enough to fit all the bloat it comes with

Keep your /home on a microsd.

I don't play games..

wait

>>108636148
it's better to use a fast flash drive with good 4k read write
I had a Samsung Fit Plus but I had to give it to my nephews for Gaming purposes

>>108636155
Isn't it blocking your only USB port?
Also get a fucking used thinkpad with proper NVME drive.

If your tablet is soshit (it is) why not install DosBox/Scummvm and get into retro gaming?

You're just trying to replicate Windows, in hedgehog's face.

It's still insane to me that Microslop fucked up Windows so bad that Linux runs Windows software better than Windows in some cases. How anyone is still running that dumpster fire is beyond me.
>>
>>108636117
does this improve mac support?
I'd like to play more games with my dad and he's become an apple fanboy in his old age.

>boosts Linux gaming with better performance
better performance than windows or better performance than previous versions? I have to hear someone claiming gaming in linux literally runs better than on windows and I know for a fact that he's full of shit. Not saying gaming on Linux is bad. Not years behind. Maybe some percentage less, more annoying details here and there. But better? No fucking way.

Windows 11 is scared of Proton 11
>>
>>108638020
No, support for it on Mac was dropped after Apple dropped OpenGL and refused to implement Vulkan. Proton requires one or the other (and the OpenGL version is mostly legacy at this point).
>>
>>108636117
It's simple.
Windows gets you pussy.
Mac gets you dick.
Linux gets you a creep label.

because I have an nvidia card and nvidia's vibe coded drivers cause up to a 50% perf hit in DX12 games

Game development in order to target proton

It's faster in most games

what?

Kurwa...

>>108636117
So you're saying I can now switch to leenux and have a desktop experience almost as good as my windows box? Sounds great, bro.
>>
>>108639301
that's extremely homosexual. some games ship on the new macs though so they must have some kind of public graphics api...?
>>
>>108641478
In this scenario (windows being dead) proton would just be a stepping stone as games would be made for Linux.
>>
>>108642006
Yes it's called Metal.
>>
>>108641994
Steam shills say whatever the fuck they can muster up.
If gaming is your only priority, linux still isn't the answer no matter how many marketers try to influence people to think otherwise.

LMAO

How exactly do these anti-cheat solutions prevent cheating? They are still riddled with cheaters. You really shouldn't play games that can access that level of your system. But fine, if you can't live without them I guess.

Actually good bait. 8/10.
>>
>>108643410
Ironically Edge works on Linux.
