I completely advocate for it. It costs you nothing but time and disk space. You can still run games from other sources with only slight tinkering.

Open source is so beneficial for humanity and for gaming there aren’t really downsides for tons and tons of games.

You lose all the spyware from microsoft, the incessant mandatory patching and upgrade notifications and loads of other things that provide no value.

Nothing stops you from being able to dual boot windows or run it in a VM either.

AFAIK, VM gaming is still a pain in the ass. You need to jump through a lot of hoops for any kind of GPU passthrough.

Think they meant run Windows in a VM if you need it

Lots of/some soft doesn’t support it, like photoshop and 3dstudio, but it might work if you’re lucky!

As an artist i quit photoshop a while ago cause it was just terrible for anything but indepth photo editing. And now irs terrible for anything since it just steals your art and you pay increasing yearly for it. Without the ability to cancel.

Adobe fucking sucks but there is literally no alternative to PS with even a fraction of the capability. What do you use? GIMP? It’s a joke at this point.
