        I am indeed. I’m actually pretty proficient with OSX and Linux…but fuck me…getting games to run is a whole new level of hell. I fucked around with it for a day or two trying to get my gaming laptop to run steam games in Ubuntu…wasn’t worth it.

          1. What games? That’s a VERY big part of this whole process.
          2. What are the laptop specs? The hardware is also a massive part of it.

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

                Let me elaborate. I have spent quite a lot of time providing voluntary tech support on Reddit and forums. In both of them you will see people having a blast & praising the community, and people pulling their hair due to frustrating issues right next to each other. Having the same OS or distro does not guarantee the same experience. People have different hardware, run different software and play different games. Also, choices regarding compat layers can make a difference, for example someone forces Proton Experimental on all games and it works out, while sb else uses Proton stable and it doesn’t work. Or the other way around. Oh, also don’t get me started on my Linux experience, it’s a roller coaster.

            Then think about it this way:

            You install the same os, you don’t get the same experience.

            That’s it. Like really simple.

            Edit: The underlying hardware has a effect on the behavior of the os. If hardware differs, the experience differs.

        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…
