It’s a lot easier to just use Windows for gaming. It takes some amount of extra effort for many game types on Linux, including making sure you have all the pre requisite packages installed for wine and whatnot. Granted, that’s not hard, but it is extra effort to ensure everything will work.

But my personal gaming is dictated a lot by what my friends are playing, which means I prefer being ready to start a new game quickly without much hassle. And plenty of competitive multiplayer games are unsupported entirely on Linux.

I’m super excited for the future, but it just doesn’t fit my needs yet.
