I worked at Microsoft in the early 2000 era. before Xbox. I did the top level os consumer support stuff. not for corporate but for the general public that uses the os support channel. one day I was in a discussion group and we talked about what you think about the future kinda thing. it was supposed to be a relaxed discussion but once I brought up Linux and older hardware, I felt the temperature changed. it was later explained that I was black listed for my argument because it expressed that flaws in Windows and the potential of Linux. Years later I joked with a friend who still had an MS job, that putting the Linux subsystem in Windows was admitting I was right back then… this new Xbox coming out in competition to the steam system just makes me feel so justified. Microsoft will always be a second best because they can’t break the internal mindset that they are the top

While it’s possible Linux is a better system for games…most games (that’s are awesome…) run on windows…with very little Linux support.

You do know that almost all Windows games can run on Linux? The biggest reason you can’t play some Windows games on Linux is anticheat and even there in most cases it’s the developer deciding to not ship the version of anticheat that works with Linux.

If there was pressure on the developers to make sure their anticheat wouldn’t stop games running on Linux you could just as easily game on Linux as you do on windows.
