Between Windows being so unbearably bloated and no way to make anti-cheat really work on Linux, it looks like the consoles win!

Or you could miss out on like... 5 games. Competitive games on a controller would be a much larger trade off than dual booting to me.

On my PC I can play basically every game ever made in all of human history, minus maybe 7 that use kernel level anti cheat, and a couple PS5 and PS4 exclusives.

Other than that I have emulation plus a steam library. I'll take that over a locked in console that can only play 2 generations of games any day!

Edit: I'm not sure why the person who replied to me asking about emulators was nuked, emulators are still legal everywhere as far as I know. Anyway tldr go check out emudeck's GitHub repo to see a good list of emulators for basically every platform.

No modding and higher prices of games on consoles though.
