Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

Same here. I’ve only a Linux machine for over a decade but I had to go out and buy Windows just so I could play on FaceIT. I’m praying that cs2 supports Linux and the MM experience is good enough to make FaceIT obsolete.

CSGO already supports Linux. It’s going to be the same appid on steam. It’s unlikely they’d remove os support for cs2.

Buy windows? 🤯🤯🤯

that’s supposedly the only way to run it legit

A Windows license is in the realm of $200

I don’t want to encourage Windows usage, but if you really need it you can buy a grey market license for $10-20.

Sure, but I’m just pointing out that a “proper” official Windows license isn’t cheap.

@fhein @CeeBee In the EU, you can sell used software licences afaik. I bought windows 10 a few times, really cheap. With office 2019, and one time with office 2021.

I hope they didn’t actually buy it from M$ at least, but a third party reseller for five bucks

I did, it was £79 or £89 if I recall. Windows 10 home edition. Also I don’t get Windows 11 because my mobo/cpu don’t support it.

In Germany we would say “Windows 11 ist Quatsch”

Cs2 is 100% getting Linux support. Wouldnt make sense for a company that heavily invested in Linux to not support it
