Why is a windows computer not my computer? makes no sense

A lot of the security work on Linux is being done by Google. It’s highly unlikely they are putting backdoors in their products.

The desktop security model is insecure in general. Phone OSes are much more secure.

Reasonable desktop OS to use is Qubes, Fedora, MacOS, ChromeOS, or Windows pro/enterprise (hardened)

Phones are much more secure especially the Pixel 8/pro with MTE immensely reducing remote exploitation. GrapheneOS is the only distro that enables MTE by default and recently implemented it in their Vanadium browser.

Secure phones (secure elements are important): IPhones and Pixels (GrapheneOS or stock)

Also yes, Chromium is much more secure on Linux than Gecko based browsers because of its great internal sandboxing and site isolation. Firefox on Windows is catching up though, but still bad on desktop Linux and android.

This all doesn’t matter if you’re running an EoL device. Make sure your receiving official security and firmware updates.

that’s about it

Lol, I did update it and still wasn’t working :(

I actually just installed Arch on my gaming PC a few days ago. I’ve been testing out many games with it and I’m very happy with it. I was hesitant to switch from Windows because I wasn’t sure if the game support would be an issue, but thanks to Proton, I finally switched.

No issues using an Intel CPU and Radeon GPU as of now, except the archinstall wasn’t working for me so I had to do it the normal way.
