Microsoft released the Windows 11 autumn update at the beginning of October. However, a bug has crept in. The installation creates an almost nine gigabyte cache file that cannot be deleted.
I have to fend off linux nerds with a bat. The bottom line is “that’s cool and all but there are a lot of things that I can’t do with linux and I’m not willing to make that big of a change”
And the main issue there tends to be anti-cheat, and that’s a chicken-and-egg problem:
game devs won’t support Linux/macOS because players don’t use Linux/macOS
players won’t use Linux/macOS because game devs don’t support it
The more people we can convince to use Linux as a daily driver, the more game devs will notice and the more likely they are to support Linux. We’ve seen a lot of game devs make an effort since the Steam Deck became a thing, and it’s always getting better.
It’s totally fine to dual boot, but spending some amount of time gaming on Linux (where possible) helps send the message that Linux support is wanted and is profitable.
Pretty much every multiplayer online game will at best lose its shit and not run, and at worst, ban you instantaneously if you try to access it with Linux
Or if you’re into online gaming.

What are the issues? Genuine question.

Not the person you replied to but they’re probably talking about anti-cheat
I heard there were issues with those, but not sure on the specifics
