I’m not the one who missed anything.

No, of course not. How foolish of me..

You on the other hand made a very large assumption that isn’t backed by any facts.

Sure, ok. Keep telling yourself that.

Assuming you're right, doesn't really support their argument.

But you already installed Windows!

Alternatives to any game you care to name: 10^123456789

Compatible alternatives to the OS you've been using for half your life:
- if Linux: 10^123456789
- else: 0

Good calll
Windows OS is the greatest gaming platform, also there are a lot of things I can't do under Linux...
I will be more than happy to fully migrate over Linux when they support all my stuff greatly.
While I already using Linux for more than a decade consecutively for some of my purposes.

I have an RTX 4090 and I game on the Switch and PS5 mostly. If at all possible I avoid doing it on Windows. You aren't stuck with Windows. I have Windows for some work related needs but I also have a Mac and Linux box that I will use if at all possible before Windows.

You aren't really stuck with it at home. That's an illusion. And if you're going to worry about spyware/malware Apple, Google, and especially Microsoft and especially Windows from them are vastly worse offenders than DRM. If you have a Windows PC that horse has already left the barn. Heck your smart TV snoops on you and people will complain about spyware/malware when they use an Amazon Alexa. If Denuvo is where you draw the line and you are using Windows or have a smart anything you clearly do not care about spyware malware and are only whining because you want to steal games. It's laughable.

Since we're already going off topic: I wish TPU had a facepalm reaction.

What is the name of the study? Where it is published?
It may be worth reading before making conclusions about its conclusions.
