@creamqueen >no because I play video games
Correction: You surrender your freedom to proprietary malware cleverly disguised as games.

I enjoy playing free software games sometimes.

>most of the games I play don't support Linux.
Why would a kernel have anything to do with the running of games?

Unfortunately, most of the proprietary malware games just work fine on WINE+DVXK+esync (also known as Proton), unless the game uses digital handcuffs (often implemented via kernel rootkit) and in that case the game obviously won't run unless the handcuffs are broken.

>I also enjoy having my computer work every time I turn it on
Yeaaaaaah, I have never had that experience when it comes to proprietary malware - it always finds a way to break itself for no discernible reason.

My computer running GNU works every time I turn it on, although I sometimes like to do some really deranged patches that happen to break things - but debugging and fixing the problem isn't ever too difficult, as I actually get meaningful error logs.
