Windows isn’t a secure environment, it’s just that it’s centralized enough in Microsoft that they can require all code to be signed by Microsoft and hardcode kernel signatures in the TPM. In terms of actual security against viruses and spyware, Linux is much more secure.
If you’re okay with Microsofts AI slowing down your computer and watching everything you do, then I guess the centralization and integration with big gaming companies makes it a more capable gaming system than Linux.
Personally, I couldn’t give a fuck about Battlefield 6. Trump’s son in law can keep his crappy AAA games.
I think that’s what Valve might actually try to do with SteamOS, actually. They might require code to be signed by Valve to not be malicious, and I’d trust Valve with that type of power way more than Microsoft.
And while I do use Windows 11, I recently reinstalled it and the first thing I did was delete any and all AI stuff from it AND run scripts to prevent them from coming back.
