    These days it’s easier to game on Linux than it is to debloat Windows

      I’ve been a hardcore Linux gamer for 15+ years, but there’s some games that just don’t work on Linux, unfortunately. Sim racing was something I wanted to get into so I could get familiarity with some tracks before I actually go drive them, so putting up with windows long enough to launch the games is something I can deal with.

      If M$ starts sending me ads mid game, then I might start looking for other solutions.

      That’s absolutely untrue. The debloat tools have a GUI and presets where it’s basically a single click to run them.

      I seriously tried gaming on Linux with like 5 different distros, and it was a struggle to get things running not completely awfully. Windows doesn’t have those issues.
