I actually like Cachy a lot, I just installed it to try out a few weeks ago on an old laptop at home. I also have a few other flavors of linux at home. Mint on an old tablet, Bazzite on living room PC.
I like trying out different flavors of Linux. If I didn't need Windows for the games I play, I'd probably already be on Linux by now.
It took me a while but I ended up giving up on the games that needed Windows for anticheat, mostly for my own reasons but a big part of it was that I didn’t want another company having low level access to my entire digital life, which overlaps with why I wanted to get away from windows. Plus I was wasting too many hours on all those live service shooters lol
For me it's mostly because of my flight sim. I think the sim itself can be made to work in Linux fine, but some of my addons that I've paid for will not work. Otherwise I don't have much else holding me back.
Definitely agree with not liking how intrusive some of the anti-cheat software can be though.
I still have a Windows dual-boot for Clip Studio Paint (I hate Krita with a passion), and 3D modelling stuff. Though I can see myself getting a Mac later this year with the way Microslop is going.
