I love Linux, really raw and DIY.
But therein lies it's problems. EVERYTHING needs to be manually added or installed, apps or programs may or may not work etc.
All part of the experience too

When I installed Red Hat 7.2, that was very true. When I did Linux From Scratch the next year, more true.
This century - and especially in the 2020s - not so much.
My mother has no idea how her Linux laptop works, she just knows it doesn't barf errors and run like molasses as it did under Windows.
All this polish is sad. Thought of jumping ship to OpenBSD, but decided to tinker with bare metal instead :) That feels like OG Linux
Are you having problem with Nvidia?
I'm on AMD.
Drivers in general.
Also game crashes and freezes which never happens on Windows.
Then I'm spending 20 mins in the terminal with ChatGPT trying to figure out what's the problem, oh I didn't have permissions? LoL
oh that sucks, I thought AMD was great on Linux. Windows is a no-brainer for gaming, but I can't stand it
It runs Vulkan well, but that's the thing, Linux relies on and prefers "old and stable" vs "new and experimental"
Like DX 11/12 aren't that new, but Linux support is almost not there.
To get games to work, you have to jangle and tweak and custom set everything, which is why windows runs games well because they just bloat the system with everything, whether you need the driver or not
Imo if I had more patience and time, I could download all my games etc.
Linux is great for working and browsing (though brave also crashes)
I have it dual booting now,
