Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

Its so liberating to just accept this mindset everyhwhere I personally feel so comfortable voting with my wallet I don’t even feel a sense of missing out anymore.
💯 There’s more software, games, movies, music, people, etc than I’ll ever be able to interact with in my entire life. So much good to be found when you don’t waste time on all the extractive, disrespectful, enshittified BS.
Edit: dropped word.
I got battlefield 5 and explicitly rebought it for Steam to play on the Deck. Like a year later they rugpulled Linux support because 2042 has done so badly that they had to start maintaining their old games again.
Believe it [or] not battlefield still won’t work on Linux because fuck you peasants
If it doesn’t run on Linux it doesn’t deserve my money at this point.

it helps that linux can now run almost everything else now instead of almost nothing. the main thing is we have options now.
thank you based valve & community btw
Unfortunately most Battlefield games worked fine with Wine/Proton for years since EA used server side AC, so they already have our money.

i agree and i don’t buy unless it runs on linux now… but my steam library was purchased when i was on microshit’s dicks.
but sometimes we got to take the L and move on. I just won’t buy EA trash going forward.
Same for me, i still have win 10 installed and updated (for the couple things i haven’t migrated).
