Unironically better than Windows unless you like modern AAA games (and on this board we do not like those)

I don't I just installed Windows 11 the correct way and then debloated it.

Linux is for trannies. Windows 10 IoT LTSC 22H2 is the white men way.

This is /vr/ right? If we're talking about emulating old shit, I'm pretty sure both Linux and Windows have access to most emulators and will work about the same. But Linux won't capture your screen every three seconds and then use AI to extract information from the images and build a profile on you.

This, it's why I'm glad to be a Deck owner. (Bonus points for also being a great emu machine.)

Yikes, doesn't that introduce overhead? I'm well aware it's possible to go for a debloated LTSC edition, but I'm not sure if that's any better than sticking with SteamOS. I guess it's an appealing option if I absolutely need ShaderGlass for non-RA stuff.

Because it's unironically much easier to get a couple retro computer games working in wine than it is to setup and deal with a (whether it be virtual, or physical) Windows 9x machine

Good taste, Android's emulators tend to be paid outside of Retroarch.

Does MouseInjector work on Wayland yet? To test, you'll need:
>An old version of Duckstation
https://github.com/duckstation/old-releases/releases/tag/v0.1-5943
>A compatible game (I choose Mega Man Legends 2)
https://vimm.net/vault/5972
>And MouseInjector itself

the concerns for ubuntu are completely overblown and aren't stuff other distros don't also do just more quietly. Just look at redhat.
I use opensuse tumbleweed btw

Because the ARM version of Windows sucks major dicks and is a bloated mess if you just need something very lightweight purely for a specific task. Such as running the background OS for my MiSTer.

Basically I don't like Windows in general, linux works well for everything else I do and gaming is good enough at this point.

by the way you can't even remove the windows 11 start menu popup without finding a powershell script online
worse humiliation ritual than actually playing neslop

That's not "debloating", that's getting rid of some jeet-added retardation. You're still dealing with the shitty start menu.

The only reason i'm running windows now has nothing to do with games honestly.
Once file pilot and rad debugger gets ported over I won't have much of an excuse to use windows anymore.
