TO ALL VIDEO GAME COMPANIES. NOW THAT I HAVE LINUX ON MY GAMING PC, YOU MUST DO ALL IN YOUR POWER TO OPTIMIZE AND MAKE PLAYABLE EVERY SINGLE GAME EVER CONCEIVED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF MY COMPUTER’S SPECIFICATIONS. THIS IS NOT A REQUEST, THIS IS A DEMAND.

Installing and configuring Pop!_OS took me less than it took to download the (2.75 GB) ISO and flashing it into a pendrive. I'm already posting from Linux and Windows is already deleted from my system.

Follow @estroclysm.neocities.org's advice. Install Linux today.
I have worked in IT in more than 1 place -- including Red Hat -- and I used Linux exclusively on most of those jobs. A couple places ID depts didn't like it, but I did it anyway.
