Randoming I have one Windows 10 machine and it's literally nothing more than a Steam client but I think this might be enough to push me to tolerate Steam on Linux and try support the devs porting to Linux. I'm not too worried about Microsoft knowing my crappy Dirt Rally times and more to do with not supporting/tolerating such a clear breach of privacy. I mean, remote code execution... theregister.co.uk/...

Kodo I use steam 100% on linux now and buy every linux game i can get my hands on and admonish publishers for not releasing on linux. Join the fight :P
Bugabinga I did the same. Then I realised the only game I like is StarCraft 2. No sc2 on Linux. FML.

🤔 John I quit desktop linux when I stopped webdev freelancing, but OS will be a tough decision when I finally replace my win7 desktop and/or win7 hits EOL. The new data stuff is just bad news, and I don't think the linux subsystem makes up for it.

☕ David Antoine Didn't know that Windows 10 update was so big on data collecting ! If you want a good implementation of steam on Linux, the Solus distribution seems to do it effectively. The lead dev is very meticulous on his code... solus-project.com/...
Randoming Looks like they have done some custom work to improve the client, though I think this would need to be dual-booted as it doesn't look like their package manager supports a huge amount of software.
