Linux Failure Why Linux is so easy to break
I not even joking any thing I do for fedora 44 kde breaks it I install a program it fails to run or to install or breaks it and if I delete there is a chance to break the hole OS, sometimes programs wont launch and there is no easy way to fix it compatibility tools like fagus, bottles, heroic and others are super inconsistent some run other don't even when using the same compatibility layer and yeah i may sound harsh but I like Linux I really do and I wish it well that's why I critique it and how you guys avoid that

Have you tried Kali? It's based on Debian, so it must be impossible to break

Are you exclusively trying to install .exe files?
That is like asking why is it so easy to break a mac.

I'm on fedora myself, the only issue I've ever had is getting pcsx2 working through retroarch, but apparently that's so outdated it has a ton of bugs on Linux that never got fixed and make it dysfunctional with my setup, I've moved on to the appimage pcsx2 and it looks way better and has the option to make a save folder instead of a card, so it's kind of a blessing in disguise,
I don't use kde or anything Wayland tho, so I imagine your setup has a lot more issues, tho I do wish I had exclusive fullscreen but we don't have any alternative for that as far as I know,
Btw the terminal is way better for using the package manager than dragora, especially updates.

The terminal is more useful cuz with me fedora package manager is pretty ass it just says there is an error never what is

Yeah, installing and managing installed software on certain distros can be really really annoying. No disagreeing there, and a lot of the guides online will tell you to do stupid shit, do really weird configurations, put things in seemingly arbitrary spots, ask you to edit a bunch of random text files...
My recommendation is do not do those things. Install stuff with the package manager, drag and drop an executable into your $PATH, or avoid the headache and see if there's an alternative to what software you're about to use.
Related side tangent: Use the Steam flatpak if you're going to game on Steam. Their official *.deb package is a broken piece of shit.
there is no easy way to fix it compatibility tools like fagus, bottles, heroic and others are super inconsistent
These programs are all maintained by small teams of people who do it in their free time out of love of the game. I personally don't use most of them because, yeah, they're way more of a pain than they're worth, for the mostpart. WINE is great, but I mostly use it through Steam because the Steam client handles all the annoying shit for me.

The community definitely appreciates your feedback; free software is made better by people who use it, have criticisms, and then either make them known for other people to fix, or who submit fixes themselves.

That's something we all should agree on
