The updates drove me away from Windows 10 years ago.
I still have a windows machine for occasional games. What drives me nuts is "Install Updates and Shut Down" leads to a 15 minute boot time. WTF? I thought all that was supposed to finish before the computer turned off???
Star Wars: The Old Republic
Witcher 3
Watch_dogs
Overwatch
Mirror's Edge (both games)
Paragon
There is a general selection of games I play but can only play on windows. In general I settle for the Mac graphics stack proforming on par with Windows.
reason why gaming on linux is never gonna take off - there is always some reason that the new hot game isn't gonna work. it's been a couple of months for overwatch, the initial hype is already gone - confirms my suspicion that if you have a linux gaming pc you essentially have a paperweight for playing older games that no one cares about
This is largely only true for huge AAA games. Lots and lots of indie games come out with support for Linux on day one, largely thanks to Unity. Indie games that don't have a native port frequently (though not always) work in Wine because they tend to be less demanding. Personally I don't like AAA games, so I'm actually pretty happy gaming on Linux these days.
So yes, it might be a paperweight if you're a big Call of Duty fan, but it's hardly a paperweight to everybody :)
Heh, I read it the same way you did, but I think the author's statement could be reworded like this:
"10 years ago, the updates drove me away from Windows."
