I want an os that's useful, streamlined, and can run games without adding an asterisk. That basically locks me into Windows. I've heard lots of great excuses for why things are this way and noted the progress Steam has made in pushing forward gaming on Linux but ultimately there's always a wall or a compromise in what mainstream programs I can use and I'm not the sort of person who can feel good because the worse experience has principles. I don't mind if a job wants me to work with Linux, that's fine, but when I come home I don't want to have to think about edge cases or software equivalents.
