I’m not unsatisfied and I very much appreciate the work put into proton, but it’s rather lame how common it is to have small problems that require tweaking. Just a few days ago I had to do the gamemode thingy(which slightly improves performance and tends to fix some performance issues) on Elden ring since I was getting small but noticeable stutters when moving about, and that’s a verified game.

I don’t mind putting in a bit of work to get something specific I want set up, but there’s a reason people want things to just work when it comes to their pastimes, and I feel Linux is still a bit far from that.

PS: I have no idea if Bazzite and other gaming distros have this issues, I use a general use one.

The average user doesn’t even know the registry exists.

Overall, I’m happy with Linux for everything. But it is a hard sell for your average person when you have to change the init configurations for every single game you download (even if it’s just for enabling gamemode).

Also I’m am very curious as to how you even got a bluescreen. I don’t even remember when I last saw one.

Pop OS has been pretty pain free for me

I kind of miss being able to play League of Legends, bit I guess staying away from that crack is a blessing in disguise.

At this point it’s probably easier to make a new operating system from scratch(actually, not just forking the linux kernel) than a web engine.

Funny that windows fucking your audio outputs is a big deal but ridiculous stutter in games in a highend machine is a minor inconvenience.

It’s interesting to note that she was widely hated even at the time though not because she was a rich noble, but because she was austrian. So it’s possible the phrase is a fabrication that stuck.
