So what you're saying is that people who aren't interested in fucking around with Linux shouldn't play games, even if they have absolutely zero interest in fucking around with Linux?
Let periods enjoy hobbies the way they want to. All that setup shit that's easy for you isn't easy for everyone, and learning more computer stuff isn't something their interested in. They want to play a goddamned game, and they can unbox a Nintendo, plug in the game, power cable, and hdmi plug and be playing a game in less than 2 minutes.
That's what they want. Their gaming hobby consists of playing the games. For many of us, all the setup and tinkering is part of the hobby, but we're the outliers.
Again just Check top10 distros. There are distros with so easy GUI installation... with preinstalled packages like steam etc. So with Bazzite you have the console feeling... (Steam deck...) wanna change from desktop e.g. to the TV in the other room... Just stream it... steam link on mobile voilä the solution for people who don't want to configure. Otherwise there is much more and also with automation... Learning more computer stuff... ? so studying for console? Cause account creation enter anything with gamepad etc is way more... Oh your paid internet yea? anyway pls pay again or you can not play online... I don't care what you play with. But as one lie after another comes from you about PC and linux it was clear that you want to put false words in my mouth too.
"Just pick one of the top 10 distros" is in itself greek to most people. You exist in a bubble where everyone knows what a linux distro even is. 90% of people do not. Your simple, overly-simplistic description of how to do Linux gaming can't make it one sentence without losing normal people who just want to play a fucking game without having to learn anything new.
Oh, with consoles you don't have to find out about backwards compatibility? Or whether the performance is sufficient with all the different versions within the same generation? But all you can think of are the same nonsensical statements? The ones with distrowatch are more likely to be people who are interested... the others are more likely to be referred to Bazitte or chachyoa in the steam forums and they use steam to play anyway (before the bullshit statement comes that would be too complicated for people). A friendly community that is willing to help is not a problem either... For consoles, have fun with the non-thinking kiddy's filled with hate Especially since you're just trolling because you've been distorting the facts from the start anyway. Since I basically argued that you can do all that with the PC as well as with a console. In other words, it's just as feasible. With you it immediately became something like I want to tell people what they should play with... No, that's just you You want to tell people what they should use instead of letting them decide for themselves... but your behavior shows wonderfully what you have to be prepared for... The one who is so frustrated by his bad purchase right from the start that he basically wants to goad people against the other options out of frustration without any arguments.
Yes, a PC can do more. That isn't a positive for lots of people.
I have a small tractor with all kinds of implements. I can dig with the backhoe, grade with the box blade, cut grass with the mowing deck, clear brush with the bush hog, do all kinds of crap with the loader bucket, move brush with the forks, and much more.
I also have to know how to attach, maintain, and use all of those tools and the tractor itself if it's going to be useful.
For someone wanting to just mow their lawn on their 1/4 acre of land, a push-mower is all they want or need.
