That's the one single reason why I keep Windows 8.1 on my HD. Over the last 3 years I've used Windows for maybe 13-14 hours in total. Fortunately, more and more games come out on Linux, too. And some games run pretty good in Wine. Fallout 3, for example, runs faster on Linux (with higher settings) than it does on Windows. Even though I updated everything, disabled pretty much anything that could run in the background and don't have much installed.

I can't even imagine how Windows can still be the preferred OS for gaming nowadays. Using Windows is a pain in the butt, and so is playing games on it. The whole OS by default wastes precious resources those games could use, and it gets worse with every new version. On Linux I'm the only person who tells the OS how and when to waste the resources.
