minus-squareEvilMonkeySlayer@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoFor me it is gaming support and HDR. (I have a HTPC connected to my 4k HDR OLED TV) From my understanding HDR support on Linux is still in its infancy. I own a Steamdeck and gaming support is getting really good with Proton.
minus-squareTwilightVulpine@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoEven gaming support isn’t gonna make me pay a subscription fot Windows. Subscription for the basic OS that I already paid for is just unacceptable. At worst I’ll just stay at an older version indefinitely or, you know, seek another way.
