Is Windows 11 worth installing over 10?

I don't really like Windows but it's for my gaming PC. My laptop does run linux. I don't know much of anything about 11 and whether it's better or not.

I used to use Windows all the time, but now I only use it for gaming. It's kind of weird to me how many Microsoft apps there are for Linux now.

Linux gaming has become much more viable of late with proton

Indeed, quite a suprise when i realized you can use lutrius to straight up start and play games installed on my windows drive.

😲 Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

@lemon @webghost0101 You can even achieve that with just #Wine. I carefully set up my Wine on my two devices with #DXVK on one and #GalliumNine on the other. Took a while, to be honest.

But now, together with wine-binfmt and icoutils, I can just double-click any #Windows game. 🍷

Lutris does pretty much all the main game stores. GOG, Steam, Uplay, EAOrigin, Epic. IIRC they also have custom wine scripts to install with recommended settings so you almost always have the best config out of the box.

There’s also Heroic, which only does GOG and Epic, but is a bit cleaner and easier to use.
