> Linux on the desktop still doesn't have that

It does have it if all you want to do is develop, browse the web and similar things.

Including windows games into the things it needs to run without hassle is kinda unfair in my opinion, as that's pretty far from what this DE is used for regularly.

I went back to windows on my home pc because off games too, but my work environment with Ubuntu/regolith was significantly less painful to setup then the WSL hassles I had to jump through on windows before.
