[QUOTE="user 997, post: 1121026, member: 997"] There is a learning curve, but most of what happens when things are going wrong is due to a lack of proper support. You do need some basic knowledge of the nuts and bolts, but it is like operating a car and you get to learn it quite quickly. The same is true for Windows and Mac, but they hold your hand a lot more or automate most of the stuff away. There are quite a lot of games that are well supported by Linux nowadays and have native support, but then there are numerous that aren't. Gaming has improved since a bit more focus has been given to graphics drivers and adoption of the Vulkan API (Steam Deck and Steam OS has helped as well). Wine comes with it own set of issues, so it is about using the right tools for the job. If the job requires Windows, use Windows, it saves you time and hassle. Having so many Linux distributions with varying user experiences is probably what hampers Linux adoption the most. Good on you for giving Linux a shot and happy gaming! [/QUOTE]
