Unfortunately a lot of R* games require R* launcher installed (even if you own it through steam), similar to Ubisoft/ EA. So I'm unsure how that will be affected.

Through the steam hardware survey quite a few people may be affected by this. Personally I've been on Win 10 for years now, but haven't made the jump to 11 yet. But I completely understand the situation where some hardware doesn't support, or won't run newer versions of windows staying on 7.

Even if you own the games on steam you have to use it anyway with any of their newer titles, just like uplay.

With the Linux versions of anti-cheats, there is almost no obstacle to run Windows games on Linux, it just needs to be added by devs and voilà. Windows is a privacy nightmare anyway, and really owning an OS feels much more different.
There are also really nice writing tools on Linux, such as bibisco.

Right? When steam dropped support it made sense, it's old and unsafe and not supported and people were calling me out as a "shill" or other BS. The hills people will go die on is crazy.
