It’s just annoying that the issue isn’t even Linux itself most of the time, but rather game developers deliberately breaking or denying support for it.
But at the end of the day, if you can’t play your games, you can’t play your games, the reason for that doesn’t matter.
Gaming on Linux is pretty damn great nowadays. More and more new releases run day one, Proton and Wine are being tirelessly worked on, and for most games it’s as simple as enabling Steam Play in an absolutely seamless set-and-forget type of way.
The biggest problem are still competitive games and their anticheat, and while some titles enable Linux support, others go out of their way to show us the middle finger, sometimes even banning accounts using Linux.
And that only gets worse when so many games have moved to more invasive anticheat solutions that wouldn’t work the way Linux handles these things.
I’ve been playing with computers, building them and troubleshooting issues on them since we first had a 386, thanks for your concerns with my abilities.

Probably just a gamer. My cycle is normally:
Yeah, that’s fair.

The way things have gone over recent years, I don’t think it’ll be all that long before I can make a permanent switch.

You cared enough to comment though.
Good for you.
How about just skipping that game?

People like you are the reason linux will never have a double digit percent install base.

Cool. Has nothing to do with my point.

I don’t miss the point entirely. I also don’t shit on people not knowing what I know about things I have a ton of experience in. Cunt.
Maybe you shouldn’t use social media if you feel the need to be mean to people who don’t agree with you, yet here you are 🤷
