Linux gaming has come to the point where many publishers and developers literally add Wine support intentionally and the game consol with the biggest game library of all time (Steam Deck) uses it but we still have people like you... If you want to use Windows you are free to do so but Linux is a great option by now too!
It dose work with NVidia GPUs too but propriatary software adopts slower to new technologies so the cards with propriatary drivers naturally have more issues and that's sadly still the case in a direct comparison but it's getting better fast
I am not a user of ether one but technically speaking X11 simply has a ton of legacy code to a point of questionable maintainability which is why Wayland exists in the first place
I feel like taht's often the case but Wayland as the newer protocol usually has the correct architecture with a early implementation while X11 has hard to fix architectural problems. I am a opponend of "whatever works for you" and I think that will be Wayland for most people fairly soon if it isn't already but in case it actually isn't I wouldn't recommend it because, well, it doesn't work properly for you.
I don't think that's a feature many people actually needed, something like accessability is peobably a better argument but I agree with the fundamental statment
Unless you are on NVidia or need X11 specific things (E.g. a lot of the accessability stuff) I would go for Wayland, it still has some issues but so dose X11 and Wayland is simply the new display server from the xorg foundation because X11 was impossible to properly update by now, it has far too much lagacy code and didn't get any new version in ages for that reason.
I think that's half true, Pulseaudio always was very buggy and a main reason for Linux bad reputation regarding none pro audio but most Distros switched already so if you use the default it will probably be Pipewire already.
I think that would make a lot of sense considering the different communities about similar topic on different instances, can't replace a proper search engine but I get that that would be really expensive to host (you would have to basically index Lemmy) and that's a nice option for official discoverability support. The biggest issue in that regard will continue be the architecture of current search engines tho, Fediverse applications can't rank properly in a domain based system and a Reddit alternative MUST rank in search engines to be viable!
That sounds great, I think one of the biggest issues of Matrix is the feature packed default client, it can't be easy with that much stuff in it and it isn't ideal for most use cases because it tries to cover all. The official client is the one new users will try and in case of a chat app that should be a simple chat app like Whatsapp or signal, just without the extra crap!
Well, everybody is entitled to a own opinion but I highly recommend that Internet Historian video because you certainly don't seem to understand the degree of garbage they did with Fallout 76, I am definitely happy they don't force there launcher anymore tho!
Wine and DXVK made it increadably easy to support Linux and if a company doesn't even put in that much effort or intentionally breaks the game for you it's certainly not worth your money! I pirate rather than use the refund window but the principal is the same since I do buy good games after all.
Yes, a LOT of things! Fallout76 is the worse example (the internet historian video about it is good), Fallout 4 to some extend, the endless rereleases of Skyrim with no additional value, their shitty launcher, their constant selling of rippoff merch and so on. It's a terribke company that was good ages ago and still profits from their prior reputation, well and now it's owned by Microsoft too!
