Current-era Microsoft continuing to push the boundaries of consent.
Microsoft Edge is a good browser but for some reason Microsoft keeps trying to shove it down everyone’s throat and make it more difficult to use rivals like Chrome or Firefox. Microsoft has now started notifying IT admins that it will force Outlook and Teams to ignore the default web browser on Windows and open links in Microsoft Edge instead.
I’d be all over Linux if all my games ran on it.
It’s an unfortunate shortcoming. But you can dualboot or run a live Linux os off a usb chip for just when you want to run Linux for other things, or just buy a sub-$100 old used laptop that will do Linux things perfectly, just not gaming
Dual booting is a good idea. I’ll have to give it another try. I’m not too keen on running from a USB as they are really slow compared to M.2 etc.
Have you tried them recently? Except for competitive games with intrusive anti-cheat measures like Valorant, I have yet to find something that just won’t run.
Valve’s Proton software has made game compatibility on Linux pretty incredible. Games with kernel anti cheat don’t work, but the vast majority of games do work.
Steam’s Proton is an absolute game changer. Unless you cannot live without a few very specific competitive titles, chances are Proton has you covered. Does not require any technical know-how (for the most part). I cannot stress enough how much of a technical and UX achievement Proton is.
Give something like Pop_OS! a try.
