Just switched Zorin for Win11 on my kids computer (yes, it did hurt and still does 😭). His friends play Fortnite and he felt left out. Windows is the only option if he want to play?

Btw downloaded newest Microslop Windows 11, but still during installation there was a gust from the past; I had to use my other computer to download the wifi card driver, which I had to “select from disk” when installing 😂 in 2026!! (tplink ex3000). Worked flawless on Linux.

      For me, and probably 99.99% of Lemmy users, sure. I was talking to the daughter of a family friend recently (somewhere around 16yo), and her dad uses Linux (not for gaming), and I asked what she used. She said Windows, because “you can’t game on Linux.” I asked what she played, because almost every game works fine, and she said Fortnite. She’s in a family where one of the parents at least is anti-Windows, but she can’t really switch because of that game. I’d much rather it worked with Linux so those kids wouldn’t be left out if they switch. The alternative is them just not switching, which is worse.
