    How do you know Windows will keep compatibility in 20 years?

    I didn’t mention Windows anywhere in my comment? GOG has Linux versions of games too, for games with Linux ports.

    plenty of titles on Steam come without DRM because DRM is optional

    That’s true - for the DRM-free Steam games, you can just keep a separate backup copy of the game files. They usually run fine without Steam installed.

      Barely any game on GOG has a Linux port and CD Project enforces the Windows monopoly. GOG Galaxy only available for Windows, their own games only available for Windows, none of their massive resources put into improving WINE.

        I was more successful running witcher 2 with the windows installer on the steam deck than with the linux one.
