I have a gaming pal thats not super techy, and kind of lazy, so they’re still on 10.
I really doubt he will ever change to Linux (he complains if we have to play any game not in the steam library, he is not a tinkerer) but I wonder how much I need to remind him to change to either win 10 iot or maybe try Linux? Is it even a concern?


It’s easier and less stress for you to say ‘I told you so.’ Sometimes people need to hear that a lot before they start to listen.
I mean even the fact that you have to wait briefly for shaders to compile on linux when running proton+steam would not go over well with them lol.
You can disable that. I did it for a game that would compile shaders for a unreasonable long time and it didn’t impact performance in any observable way.
