I’ve always used Windows and am super comfortable with it. I have set up a dual boot with fedora but don’t use it because I have never identified a need to use it. I see a lot of windows hate, so what does Linux have that I need? What can motivate me to migrate? What is a good Linux to have for a desktop + steam?

    But how often realistically do you run into people who have spent money on clients like that? I’m going off perceived experience in the game and I have very noticed cheaters, and if they’re around they aren’t OP enough to ruin a game single handedly or it’d be obvious

      Cheating estimates are hard. I think my Fortnite games are plagued by cheaters, but maybe I just suck and everyone else is competitive level. This study found that 32% of gamers had admitted to cheating, and 12% claim to cheat regularly. This study found astonishingly high levels of people searching for cheats for their games, with Sweden topping the ranks of cheaters.

      Bottom line: if it’s not a problem for you, that’s great. It’s a big problem for me and others, and I’m grateful to give up a little privacy in exchange for a cheat-free experience, which Valorant does.

        You say that but I’ve cheated, I haven’t cheated in any competitive games but I cheat in PVE stuff for shits and giggles all the time

        Still salty about getting VAC banned dying light from for swimming at super speed in a co op lobby with vac explicitly disabled in everyone’s settings

        Cheating doesn’t neccesarily mean ruining other people’s experience unless the survey is specifically about competitive games
