  • there’s still a lot of titles that require tweaking/hacking. And some just refuse to run, period.

    run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.

    Even titles that are marked as Gold on ProtonDB sometimes crash or refuse to run randomly.

    and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.


  • I’m not a techy, or a sys admin, or anything.

    I never wanted ot think about my OS. I just want to click things and go.

    Linux did have headaches when I switched. Some from my lack of knowledge, some from shit in linux just being fuckywucky. but that was many years ago.

    I wouldnt say I’m any smarter today, than i was back then… but I will say Linux is so much better today than it was back then. Its reached the “it just works” stage, even for gaming, in everything I’ve tried with it. I am back to where I was on windows all those years ago, where I dont even think about my OS. I just click things and go.

    I’m not so foolish to say its all sunshine and lollipops, especially with gaming, I’m sure there will always be a problem that crops up that needs a tweak/patch/config change to fix it… but honestly? Windows had that shit too. which is why I’d say, from a usability aspect, Linux is pretty much at parity with windows at this point.

    And thats for gaming and shit.

    if you are just a regular PC user where entertainment/email/bills/etc are all done in the webbrowser? Fuck…Linux has been good and ready for that for over a decade. My grandparents PC has run linux for over 15 years now, without nary an issue.


  • Nobara too.

    I cant remember the last time I had to futz with anything to get a game to work, been well over a year. The games just work. Only extra step compared to windows is the one time effort upon installing steam to enable steam play and set the default proton version to experimental. Experimental has run everything for me, flawlessly, for like a year now.

    I’m sure theres still the occasional, rare game that might need some tweaking/setup/patch/whatever to get going… but thats something you run into on windows from time to time as well, so its hardly a ding against linux.

    I live in a neighborhood that regularly (as in, at least once, often more times a week) has people blasting concert grade speakers until like 4 in the morning, with revving cars, fireworks, gunshots, etc etc.

    and thats from people who live there. no airbnbs.

    Shitty people are shitty people. at least with an airbnb you have a chance at a break in the neighbors being dickheads.

    Theres been only a couple times in my life where I considered an AirBnB over a motel/hotel.

    Every time I ended up staying at the Hotel/Motel, because it ended up being cheaper.

    I remember looking at an airbnb that was like 25 dollars a night, and went to check out… and had to do a fucking comic book double take because the 25 dollars a night (was only needing it for one night) ended up being like 250 dollars thanks to bullshit cleaning fees and other exploitative, hidden bullshit.

    So if that 25 dollar a night place is now being displayed as 250 dollars a night… then I forsee AirBnB bookings plummeting.

    the motel I ended up at instead was only 75 bucks all in, just as point of reference.
