@ryo Well, it doesn't have to be AAA to not run on Linux, it just has to be pretty much any PC game ever made. Of course, Wine exists, but it's a meme. It's overcomplicated and unreliable. Emulation also sucks on Linux in a lot of cases. Some emulators aren't available, some don't work, a few crash just from clicking on menus, some don't work properly no matter what you do, some break on an update and then you have to get a fucking appimage (just happened an hour ago).

Also, in some cases, I may want to run an older version of an emulator, but there is no appimage, so I have to make one (and really, it should be done anyway, otherwise you have all the same problems that you have with downloading exe files from the internet on Windows). May be simple, but in some cases it requires finding some old version of a distribution, to build the emulator on, if by some miracle you manage to make that work, and then package it.

It's a nightmare. And especially for PC games, it's a huge fucking meme, because you're running proprietary software anyway. Even more of a meme if you use Steam. Yeah, great idea, using an OS that is bad for gaming, for freedom and/or privacy or whatever else, and then running that level of proprietary garbage and spyware on it. And it doesn't even work. I have done it before, and it took literal hours to open a game, it's a fucking disaster. Also, this is all assuming that you even use Linux, on the BSDs it's more limited, though the emulation may be more stable. Linux is gradually becoming Windows anyway, and once it does, people are going to be stuck using another OS, with no games again.

Anyway, I think people should just have a computer (or more) that they use exclusively as a console. Linux for gaming is a bad meme. I only do it because I have no choice, but it does feel like trying to use a hammer as a screwdriver. If it's a nightmare to make one machine do everything, then don't, just have more than one.

That's what I don't get about people that don't use Linux or BSD because they need Windows for work, or whatever. Like, just have two or more computers. Though I guess it's kinda hard for those people to imagine that, considering that they buy the most expensive crap that they can buy and then throw it away ever year or two, right when they're done paying for it, because of course they get in debt to get it. Hell, they don't even know what specs they actually need, they have no sense of that.
