Hi,

I recently built a new gaming computer and have been contemplating about the OS.

I prefer to move away from windows given obvious reasons and do like using Linux, but my experience with my steam deck has taught me that pirating games in Linux is hit or miss.

I played around with windows LTSC and honestly, seems like windows without the bloatware.

So question is, how is game pirating on Linux (in a desktop, not steam deck).

Is it as smooth as windows or should I just say fuck it and accept that my gaming computer has to stay windows for another generation?

    I still dual boot with Windows for gaming, so I can’t comment on the next gaming as much, but I will say that LTSC is everything that it seems to be (or not be).

    Windows without any bullshit, I used it for years.

    I use windows solely for ease of gaming so I haven’t bothered to replace the stock, but if you do keep using Windows, LTSC is definitely the way to go.

    as far as the articles going around, Linux is catching up but is not yet as effortless less as Windows for gaming specifically.
