Microsoft is working on a new project labeled Windows ‘K2’, intent on removing bloatware, reducing AI, and optimizing Windows 11 for gaming, with three focuses of ‘performance, craft, and reliability’.

the issue is not about performance, is about enshitification. I mean, do we need TPM? do we need Microslop account to login our pc/laptop? do they really need to shove Copilot into Windows?

      Yeah the effort and disruption was my main reason for holding off for so long, then I set up a dual boot on my desktop and laptop and honestly after spending a week away with just Linux laptop I didn’t have the patience for windows when I got back. So far there’s been some fiddling around but a lot of my games have worked fine. No idea about those games but protondb can give an idea.

      No idea. I don’t play those games, and only had a couple months of experience with Linux a year or so ago. My experience with Mint mostly worked, but I play lots of games far outside of the Steam ecosystem. My edge cases is why I didn’t switch at the time.

      Provided you stick to just Steam’s garden, you probably won’t have issues. There is a website for checking compatibility with Proton, the layer used to run Windows games via Steam.
