Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

Really help things out if all the anti cheat software would be Linux compatible. I'm stuck using windows (and not getting to use my steamdeck) on some of those damned games because of it.

It's one of the biggest problems, yeah. The thing is, the way these work, they range from rather intrusive process/memory watching to literal rootkits that can access and do anything on your computer. Unless the anti-cheat software's developers make it explicitly compatible with Proton or natively to Linux, the chance they'd work on anything not Windows is close to nil. So it's up to game developers.
