Linux all the way.
Windows is only on kid’s computers. Because they need roblox and generally games run better on windows.
Most stuff on Steam runs very well these days. Anti-Cheat and DRM are the main reasons stuff doesn't run.
You can run a Windows VM with KVM and pass through your GPU for Gaming or other GPU-intensive tasks. It works surprisingly well.
To be honest it's quite PITA to make it work this way. I chose to not play games that don't work on Linux at all.
It took me like 3 hours, and if I had realized that I need to enable IOMMU in the BIOS it would have been 15 minutes.
Can you drop a link? It is best if it is Arch linux link. Thanks.

I do all my gaming on Linux at this point. If you don't play games with invasive anti cheat and even then some of those work now

It is, and it won't get better. Windows is very much in the process of enshittification.
Especially since it's only used by kids playing roblox.
I'm a Windows user (not out of choice), there's no case for recommending Windows if it weren't for the softwares requirement.
Based Linux runs almost the entire web while cringe Windows is used to play fancy video games
I have Linux on my desktop but still use Windows on my laptop for some classes required for my degree.
Additionally, my partner uses software for her work that isn't supported on Linux. And there's not really a Linux alternative that would work because she needs file compatibility with other people in her career field.
So no, it's not just for kids playing Roblox. It's also for people that have to interact with the proprietary OS space when Linux alternatives won't or can't.
Which software is it?
