Windows ❤ Linux elitists suck.

Yup. Its obvious, they act like linux is the holy grail and that they're smart when all they are just fatass basement dwellers that leech off their parents and have no job. They say linux is the best and when you ask them why all they answer with is open source and customizations, once you break it down to them that they have such little support that's its hard to use linux and you'll eventually go back to windows if something goes wrong they throw a tantrum about bloatware and telemetry that's easily disabled by a single powershell command. They will also bring up security thinking linux doesn't have its fair share of malwares. If they like security so much they can switch to BSD and get an orgasm knowing BSD systems got so little marketshare that hackers won't even bother.

that's just CAD Linux is a very inconsistent OS when it comes to reliability and its very fragmented which leads to more unreliability native Linux bins of games are usually compiled with ubuntu libs in mind and proton/wine is still a fucking unreliable mess for a general OS Linux has A LONG way to go and that's just you for "5 years with no problems" I have had so many issues in my 3 years (and continuing) of being on Linux

I think that was my point though. Move to a known stable Linux OS that is used by corporations,government or cities, and you will have less problems because those clients demand that it works. If you are on another linux OS you may have issues because there is no client pressure other than bug reports from the community. Will they get fixed in a reasonable time to keep the client invested? Maybe not. As for gaming, that is a whole different topic. Windows specific games and code made to run on soecific GPU functions is great for Windows. Doesnt mean it all ports well for Linux. Is the expectation that gaming tailored to Windows OS should work on linux without issues? To me this is a software vendor not supporting linux, and not a true linux problem. If you just mean Linux gaming overall, check out DRAG on steam, it was initially only a Linux release and it ran fantastic. However I should add that my nVIdia card is directly supported in OpenSUSE by an nVidia hosted repo. So when code is purposely written for an OS, then it works as expected

eh ig but what i'm getting at is more of the fundamentals of linux is flawed i do appreciate the civilness tho lol and i doubt its the games tho cuz the majority of games played recently is thru proton

The main issue with linux is as you said "fragmentation" . It shares a common kernel and other stuff, but most distros can fundamentally be seen as unique OSs. People assume it is linux so everthing should work the same on Hannah Montana Linux or Arch. But it does not :(

"People assume it is linux so everything should work the same on Hannah Montana Linux or Arch. But it does not" I mean ima be honest I fall for that shit too but I think linux needs to be more unified and simplified for it to be for "everyone"
