You know, if you use Linux you don't have to jump through hoops like this (trivial though they may be). Wouldn't it be nice to not have an adversarial, abusive relationship with your OS?
And if you use Linux you have to jump through hoops to install (non-steam) games. I know, just yesterday I had to search a working tutorial for installing Fall Guys.
BTW for anyone needing help in the future, this worked: https://youtu.be/X41PlQNx0vk
This isn't much of a hoop, you install wine and run the installer with it, furthermore, I'd rather deal with the kind of hoop that isn't actively harming you intentionally any day.
Harming you intentionally... This is rich.
Do you actually believe windows doesn't harm users intentionally? Wait until you hear how they spy on you.
Don’t care, I block it. Doesn’t mean it’s not superior to Linux for a gaming platform.

Linux in a huge number of cases performs better than windows, and the only place where windows seems to win these days is anti-cheat, which is malware. Windows is certainly better when it comes to allowing users to install malware, but that's really about it.
