Yeah this is only a win if you don't play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled "why I'll never install Linux"

Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn't really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn't retain the functionality of my games.

the only times i've had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won't run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i've heard, doesn't really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don't need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can't wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.

Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.

I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2's early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.

Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.

Yeah, I’m lucky that my main games of interest weren’t blocked from Linux when I switched. If I had a friend group that played BF6, it likely would’ve been a harder decision

People will always come up with a reason to stay with what they have.
