And somehow every single time the problem was so easy to solve, but apparently crying about it is the better solution.

    I gave up on switching to linux after losing 2 entire evenings setting it up (linux mint) just for my games not to run and not a single solution I could find working.

    I’ll give it another try once I buy my new PC and set that up, but Linux is not as plug and play as windows and I totally understand that non-IT people want to stay away from it now. The community makes it sound as if everything is almost out of the box simple but that is not the case at all.

      Then probably your Pc was too new

      Id always recommend using Opensuse anyway

      And how did your Games not run? Did you even try to look them up on Protondb?

      edit: Oh, I get it. Anyways, how much is Microsoft/the CIA paying you for this?

        this right here is the bullshit that keeps people out, brother

        Same things goes for leftist thinking (I see you’re a .ml enjoyer)

        Stop trying to browbeat people into your ideology, calling them stupid provokes an irrational negative emotional response, even if your ideas are objectively more logical, as they’ll just reject it

        This is why capitalism is so effective with their “come to the dark side, we have cookies!”

        Just because it’s free doesn’t mean you don’t need to sell it

        This pc is from about 2022/2023

        The games were gold or platinum on protonDB and run fine on my steam deck

        Steam / Lutris said they’re running, nothing shows up.

        Your edit is another reason I actually rather stay away from Linux instead of giving it a chance / asking for help. The community feels way too elitist and insulting to anyone not praising it.

          There are clowns in every community and they are typically the loudest ones. Sorry Linux didn’t work out for you this time around. Hardware variables are hard to account for which if I had to bet, hardware weirdness is likely to be the root of your issue.

            Sadly people like this have been there at every corner when I talk about my issues/reasons for not switching (yet). I still want to, but also think this turns off a lot of people.

            That was also my guess certainly with an nvidia GPU. My next pc will be AMD based partially because I really want to make the step to Linux
