I've been incredibly skeptical of Linux gaming for a long time now. But more than that I've been fed up with windows. I finally bit the bullet and bought some new ssd's. Burned a bazzite iso and booted from the thumb drive. Honestly? The setup was flawless. The only thing I could see a non-technical person struggling with is burning images and booting from a drive. If a shop starts selling pre-builts with Linux configured for gaming then this might actually be the year of the Linux desktop

Now excuse me I'm gonna go play Arx Fatalis

People here sometimes complain when us Linux guys are saying the same, but if you discovered that Linux is actually pretty damn excellent, wouldn't you tell people about it?

Exactly.

They tell me:

"But MajorHavok, you're insanely willing to diagnose and debug command line bullshit. How can I trust you?"

To which I reply:

"Uh...good point. But...uh... Both things can be true?"
