The amount of bullshit there is to make things work is… not that bad. When it comes to games, I just can’t. Having to reboot just to fix common FPS issues is too much. I’ve had a bunch of things that require a config change, which then has caused other issues.

The state of Linux Desktop is the best it has ever been and I’ll be back the moment Wayland works better. I love Linux, but for now, it’s not working out for me… Just needed to vent, thanks for reading.

    This is one of the reasons I’m glad I don’t have a strong desire to play most games. I’m able to run a couple from Steam and I’ve got an Xbox that I rarely play (unless I find a great game and play a bunch for a while). It’s not like I’m running Linux on my daily driver cause I’m a Mac guy, but it’s one less avenue for MS to pollute my life.

      Linux is great if you don’t play competitive games. Anything with any amount of anti-cheat will not work.

      Everything else works great. I game on Linux all the time and it’s solid.

        This is false info. Counter Strike works, Hunt: Showdown works. To fix your comment it would look like this:

        Linux is great if you don’t play competitive games, which have disastrous “anti cheat functionality”. Anything with any amount of sane anti-cheat will work.
