So one of the worst OS' paired with overly proprietary GPU tech... great...

Huh?  You think win10 is one of the worst OS?

I don't like it at all. The interface is scattered all over the place, the privacy settings are terrible, backwards compatibility is broken in places and I experianced multiple bugs that threw my desktop in disaray. I'd prefer Windows 8.1, but I've already gone and thrown Windows off of my PC in favor of Ubuntu 14.04.

So going from an OS that is glitchy to an OS that is fundamentally broken for playing games. Good luck.

It's such a shame that the majority of gamers have to rely on such a soulless, mass produced, glitch filled OS. I really wish there were options.

Yet Windows allow great optimization for most of the PC Gaming market and allows the most access to everything not just Steam. It also runs on less resources then Windows 7 and 8. Seems like a great OS to me. It was also free. How good it that?

It's only kind of broken when playing games through Wine.



OSX all the way, baby!

I got a Windows Phone the other day though and I like it so far (Lumia 640 Dual Sim). I'm usually an iPhone guy, but that thing was dirt cheap, so I couldn't resist! It was only 88 € and it does everything I need just fine. No update for Windows 10 yet, though. So all in all, I'm still not part of Windows 10 in any way. But I will be soon. ^^

Oh, but please Microsoft, give me some software to connect my phone to my Mac! I mean, come on! You can also connect an iPhone to a Windows PC, can't you? There is a workaround, but it's kind of a pain in the ass. =/

Ok, that's enough offtopic for now.

As someone that spent 5 years training admins in Redhat and slackware and a user of the wine project for 17 years calling it "kind of broken" is funny as hell. I hoped for years it would reach some level of maturity but it never came close, even gaming on linux itself is god damn aweful, It is the one area where linux is actually so far behind everyone else it isn't funny, I gave up gaming on linux it just isn't worth the pain.

Depends, the games that run native on Linux run just as well as on Windows, with the only performance difference being in the drivers. I recently had a lot of problems playing Rome: Total War on Windows 10, I had to disable AA in the game files or the game would crash and my desktop would be thrown into disaray.
