THIS oh my god
And the amount of people that will do ANYTHING to defend Linux baffles me, and they all do it thinking they help Linux in general instead of highlighting their issues so they can be fixed
I mean, I freaking LOVE linux. And for what it's good for, it's the best of the best. I've never had a better dev experience than in Ubuntu, mostly because WSL is a pale shadow of a good unix backend (and because Macs, while good, are still subpar for that purpose). But that means I'm already committing 40 hours a week to maintaining and using my machine!
But for gaming? For casual use? I dunno. The hardware has to be hand-picked carefully, as do the games.
"Trust me guys, it's 95% better with Proton now" lol
Some of those people need to see all the users asking for help on Linux gaming forums.
Not trying to dismiss that Linux Gaming has gotten better before Proton but it can be an absolute pain at times.
Yeah, trust me, Linux Gaming used to be real shit. "When it works it works" is lightyears better than it used to be.
I remember in my linux-only years, trying to muddle through linux exclusives. Oftentimes you had to be super careful because linux doesn't love prepared binaries
