You have to start somewhere my man. Also, not trying to “convince” devs to remove anti-cheat. The point would be to have a linux compatible solution.

Again, it’s not relevant that relevant how the video ends because the comment did not specifically made a reference to the video and I didn’t either. You’re adding context that you imagine OP was referring to but nothing of the sort was explicitly said.

The problem with normal fñash drives is longevity. The OS will probably wear it out pretty quickly. As an inexpensive and/or disposable solution I guess it’s fine, but it’s not reliable.

You kind of can? If you want to have an OS that you will actually use (instead of just a backup to fix your actual os) on a thumb drive, buy a usb-c m.2 enclosure, put the cheapest ssd that meets your needs in there and just install windows there.

It sucks that you have to maintain it though. If you don’t update from time to time, you’ll have to update windows, steam, the game and probably thr gpu drivers as well.

I sincerely hope that Linux becomes at least mainstream enough to not have compatibility issues. It’s still not something I would recommend to people that don’t know how (or don’t want) to troubleshoot issues. If installed linux on my mom’s laptop she’d be constantly reaching out to figure out how to do/solve stuff.

Jay you mean? I replied to a comment, not the video, and the comment only said “backup os”.

Still, I admittedly did not watch the video because I’ve stopped watching that guy years ago. He’s one of the least knowledgeable “techtubers” I know. The only thing he was good at was custom watercooling stuff, but I don’t know if he still does that stuff.

Lastly, while it does suck to not be able to play a game due to anticheat, the best way to solve that issue is to not play those games. The devs will propmtly find a way to make an anticheat that works on linux too if their playerbase demands it.

You can just have a thumbdrive with another linux distro and live boot with that. There really isn’t a need to have another os permanently installed.
