Just switched Zorin for Win11 on my kids computer (yes, it did hurt and still does 😭). His friends play Fortnite and he felt left out. Windows is the only option if he want to play?
Btw downloaded newest Microslop Windows 11, but still during installation there was a gust from the past; I had to use my other computer to download the wifi card driver, which I had to “select from disk” when installing 😂 in 2026!! (tplink ex3000). Worked flawless on Linux.
You can get really good performance in a VM if you can pass-through a GPU, which is a lot of tom-foolery or a second dedicated GPU since you can’t have it passed through and working for your host OS at the same time. BUT, most anti-cheat is going to either block the game from running in a VM or just ban you outright for trying to “bypass” the anti-cheat.
All of this is even dumber when you realize EAC (which Epic makes) has Linux compatibility that other games use, but Epic specifically chooses to not allow in their games. I really think it is because they know it would only help the Steam Deck and Tim Sweeney really hates Valve.
