Honestly said I think understanding Windows 10 to be just a game console OS, and treat it as such - just a gaming console - sounds like the (pragmatically seen) more inviting option. Gaming I think will never become really great on Linux. I ust watched the long interview with Stefano Cassilo and Marco Massaruto on the development of Assetto Corsa Competitzione, the irst is the lead programmer and the seocnd the licensing manager of Kunos. They were asked on whether the game will maybe go to Liunux as well, and while they had left a similiar question for consoles open, for Linux they said decisively No, and indicated briefly that there simply are techncial imoplicatiosn that make it difficult and even undesribale to develope such a propgram under Linux.

Too uch of gaming, too many sims and games, need to accept compromises and broken hardware support, myself I have comletely given up of trying to make games run on Lkinux. It might be possible with quite some titles, for the knowing insidewrs- but there you have it: needing to be an insider, and wanting a sofdtware trend that is accessible for the wide public and ordinary household user, is not reaqlly mutually supportive.

Indeed I think that Linux will always remain to be a chise for just a very few, a tiny minoirty, and for tasks run by experts like the original link I pout up is illustrating. Its not the OS for the huge masses of normal users and players.

And I tried three printers now (Canon, Epson, Brother) - and still have none working flawlessly both with texts and images, both in b/w and colours, with my Linux rig. Somethignt hat wants to become really popular, must approach these kind of everyday usage issues much more user-friendly. The apson and Brother porinters were said to support Loinux. They do better than Canon - but not flawlessly and reliably as under Windows.
