    I agree for the most part but it really does “just work” for gaming. If you use Chimera or Bazzite it works almost just like a console.

          It doesn’t for everybody. What is so hard to grasp about the fact that your experience isn’t a general truth?

            You install the same OS, you get the same experience. That’s what’s hard for me to understand.

          That’d be cool if that was true… But I installed nobara on my brand new PC and kingdom come crashed when I fast traveled, Hades 2 ran at like 20 fps, and dragons dogma just wouldn’t launch. I get Linux is cool and all but I don’t have time to troubleshoot every game I install anymore…

            Not quite “just works” but I’d be willing to bet that your computer defaulted to the iGPU instead of your dGPU because you didn’t specify as such in your launch options

            It is true. I specifically mentioned Chimera and Bazzite. The experience is totally different with those. Also if you have an Nvidia GPU, you’re probably going to have a bad time regardless. Left that bit out. But I solved that problem by switching to AMD.
