Alright, I installed Linux

>Alright, I installed Linux
Why?

You always hear how Linux is better so I gave it a shot.
>muh Information
So, Microsoft just knows that I stopped browsing and looking at porn but only boot my PC to play a game and shut it off.
I'm pretty sure other companies still get to gather my information anyways.
>Why don't you get an additional drive and throw Windows on that with its own boot loader?
I still have my Windows, I just installed Linux on a different drive.
Both are installed on SSDs and use dualboot, doesn't take long to switch in case I want to play games that don't work at all

>Alright, I installed Linux.
>What now?
Now you reflect on why you should plan ahead instead of just diving into something in which it turns out you have no interest.

Just kidding. I know you didn't actually install Linux. You're just shitposting to get a reaction out of Linux users.

If you only use your pc to play gaymes why would you install Linux? What's wrong with you?

>Do you get any performance losses by gaming through a VM?

If you were to make a VM normally, yes. But if you set a few things up, you will have it so that your graphics card is being directly run by the VM and most of your system resources are devoted to running the VM.

A big difference is that if windows starts acting funky, you delete the current copy of the VM you are running and use the backup. It takes seconds while duel booting requires that you reinstall windows when it starts getting fucky. You also lock out almost every form of malware, microsoft, and other trackers from accessing the rest of your computer.

Booting normally to windows gives anything access to your entire computer. Booting on a VM and anything is contained within that VM.

Running Linux doesn't require that much effort.
Basically the same shit except you might have to use the terminal once in a while but that's kind of cool I guess and also not that hard. Copypaste most of the time
>You're just shitposting to get a reaction out of Linux users.
Yeah, who else would reply? People who don't use Linux?
Dunno, I wanted to give it a try. The other option would've been playing videogames

>You also lock out almost every form of malware, microsoft, and other trackers from accessing the rest of your computer.
Oh, right. Forgot about that shit
>But if you set a few things up, you will have it so that your graphics card is being directly run by the VM and most of your system resources are devoted to running the VM.
But what about the gpu? I mean it's still used by Linux too to some degree.
>A big difference is that if windows starts acting funky
I never had Windows act funky. I only switched to W10 LTSC not even a year ago, before that I ran W7

ah yes, the linux user experience

Linux is dumb for gaming.

Use it for everything except that.

>Dunno, I wanted to give it a try. The other option would've been playing videogames
Oh well, you sound a cool guy, if you're willing to learn to use Linux and make something productive out it would be really cool, if you want to just play videogames you're better just using Windows.

If you still want to try make sure to enable Steam Play for easy Wine + DXVK, and/or Lutris.

>Copypaste
You might want to read the mannuals if you want to stop copy-pasting commands....

man command.

Like just use Ubuntu, Fedora/CentOS, or OpenSUSE.
