What is wrong with Windows?!

I keep a small Win partition on my 2022 gamer laptop in case I need to take a cert exam or use a gov website, and I booted it for updating for the first time in 6 months. It took over 6 hours and 6 reboots to update! At one point, it was going bu-ding every minute from random notifications so I had to mute it.

Meanwhile, my 2012 Thinkpad T420 needed a full Fedora version upgrade, and that finished in 15 minutes.

No wonder MS is losing users

Final frontier for Linux gaming's unseen levels? Kernel-level anticheat ❌

However; kernel-level ac isn't as crushingly common as painted out to be.

◉ ~10-15% of multiplayer games use kernel-level AC.
◉ All PC games lumped in (single-player) the usage is in the spheres of ~4%.

Kernel-level ac: full control over the system / its information - ultimate rootkit. Another way is needed - be it Linux OR Windows. It is not worth the risk just to play a game?
