Linux is fine as it is (imo), if people want games then code it.. It's just that the people who for free write code for linux don't care all that much about game support. Anyone is free to fork it, and make a distro that has amazing support for games, and call it Gameux if they want, and even charge for it.

And I'm with you on the telemetry stuff.. tbh not just that, there's a lot of bloat that can be taken off and you don't even need to "hack" the OS to do it. I feel like every other iteration of Win is just beta testing. XP was goated, Vista was just... 7 was very good, 8 sits in the same room as Vista, 10 is fucking goated, 11 is... idk man, it looks like it's trying to be linux, mac, and a tablet at the same time. If the pattern continues, next Win will be some next level shit.
