Anything but Linux…
I don’t see why they don’t at least try it, it’s free.
My most recent switch for my desktop was Fedora. Super simple to install steam and most games I have tried so far work. Happy to try other flavors as well because they all have cool features worth exploring. Happy to try anything new. Suggest you all do the same just like Winnie suggests.
The article is probably paid propaganda by Microsoft.
Just look at the site's name. Not biased at all!
The last thing I want is AAA game studios supporting Linux due to a max exodus of Windows users, because that means they'll shoehorn their kernel anticheat into proton. Keep that shit away from my work machines. If the capability is included at all, then it will become a vector for nasty exploits.
I can't see how they'd do it, proton gets installed by the steam client. That client doesn't run with root privilege, so at the very least they'd have to trigger a password dialog which would be highly obvious.
The average Windows user will happily click "yes" on the UAC prompt when it pops up, so I don't think it would be that conspicuous to someone who isn't technical. I'm also pretty sure PolicyKit could get involved but I've never messed with it.
