Hi, it's me, but to be fair, not for this particular reason.

Assembler guys - ASSEMBLE! Spin up super DOS and slap a couple of user interfaces on top and voila! I give you DOS 7.0 .

I've tried Linux gaming for a good bit but it doesn't seem like it's quite there yet. For the games that worked it was amazing! The only other thing that was annoying was the constant downloading for the shader caches basically every day with steam (yes I know they can be disabled). I was using Bazzite for those wondering.

I switched to NixOS full-time after dual-booting Void for some time, and I couldn't be happier to get away from Microsoft's bullshit.

My only gripe is that I do a lot of audio production, and virtually none of the big names in the audio plugin space make Linux builds, despite the most common framework (JUCE) having Linux support out of the box.

Yabridge & WINE do a decent job of filling the gap, but using iLok protected plugins can be a bitch and a half, and unfortunately iLok is everywhere... Oh how I long for audio developers to start taking Linux seriously.

You realize this is for a small group of beta testers right?

Unless they are all Microsoft shills, then they will prolly tell them it is a bad idea.

Unless they are the kind of user that leaves everything on default, which is hard to believe if they are in the beta program
