    I’m still on Win10, but the second I see yet another ad on my pro license, I’m wiping the drive. As long as I have some kind of choice, I will not run hostile operating systems on my own hardware.

        Over the last few months I’ve tried half a dozen Linux distros. PopOS has been the best so far for me. Plays the games, didn’t have to force the audio to work, and regular apps open way faster than even other Linux options, it is astonishing. I have used Linux on servers for ~30 years, and this is the first time I’ve been really comfortable on the desktop side.

          No, despite easy anticheat having Linux support, epic flat out refuses to enable support for Linux.

          It’s stupid and actively hostile to the Linux community
