    I never gave a reason why a game would/wouldn’t run on Linux. I just said that games are a reason some people continue to use Windows.

      It’s a very small subset of games and most are live service microtransaction garbage not worth playing anyway. Many are spyware and viruses disguised as games, eg Valorant

        The quality of those games is irrelevant. The user asked why people still use Windows and I gave a few examples. Simple as that.

        You are arguing for the sake of it.

          No, they’re saying you are making a mountain of molehill and using it as justification. You are saying you are technically correct, the best kind of correct.

          Now you two feel free to proceed, I have my popcorn.

            Yeah but they are saying a reason why people don’t move, not a justification of why he isn’t.

            That said I had to run a program that detected my computer specs for a job interview recently, and they flagged my machine because I had just booted Windows in Virtual box so I could hopefully pass their test. Instead I had to borrow my spouses laptop, run the test then went back to using my computer for everything else once the test was over.

            That said, you should never take a job that requires you to use your own hardware… But desperate times…
