Saying gaming on Linux is caner is "hate"? Lol
Come on. Go look at forums, communities, etc and see how much effort people have to put in to Linux at times just to get sound working properly, and that's before a game is even loaded.
Just look at comments here, with problems you never see on windows.
Linux still has these issues, though they've gotten tremendously better.
When's the last time you loaded windows and sound didn't work out of the gate?
Windows just works, that's what OP is on about. He wants to play games, not play "what isn't working in my OS now?".
This is also part of what drives the console market - people just want to play their game.
The Linux community can be blind about these barriers for tee average user. Yea, you can lookup and learn commands, where stuff goes, etc. But by god is that a pain in the ass. You've gotta be sufficiently motivated about what your doing to want to get through that. And I say this as someone who had Unix classes a long time ago.
I think you misread my comment? Or I’m misreading yours. I agree with you lol
I had trouble getting Assassin's Creed Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, Horizon Zero Dawn, and BG3 to open at all on Windows at various times.
All of them work great for me on Linux.
I think 99% of my issues with Windows were due to Windows Updates messing with my drivers but the point is I don't have those problems on Linux. You never hear about Linux forcing updates that break your system.
Just last week I had to do an emergency unbrick on my linux server because of updates...
Ah but the difference is that Linux doesn't force you to install those updates.
