Brother, that's a whole new computer. Anyway, have fun and, if you haven't already, you should install KDE Connect and Syncthing. I don't know what you use your computer for but I have yet to meet someone who wouldn't benefit from it.
I don't care about what he buys. I care that he's telling people who wanna play a game that doesn't work on Linux to play a different game or to go back to Windows. So the dozens of people who did switch to Linux are now being told Windows was the better choice.
Again with this. You can look up the solution, I can look up the solution. Mr. Regular Joe who just got off an 8 hour shift and just wants to play games for an hour doesn't know or care to know what Wine or Lutris are. You need to get out of your bubble.
It doesn't. But congratulations on showing that Linux gaming outside of Steam is at exactly the same stage as it was years ago: Most titles don't work.
Can I just go to gog.com, download The Witcher 3, click on the installer and have it install? Or do I have to configure some bullshit that's beyond the capabilities of the regular user before I can do that? You seem to be completely disconnected from real people. Real people also don't care about what kernel anticheat does and just want it to work.
Probably a good idea but I hate switching distros and generally try to avoid it until I break the one I'm using and then I go all in. I have a bunch of backups so it should be fine.
That quote doesn't mean what you think it means. And you haven't been saying it was done for profit, you've been saying it was done because "people voted with their wallet".
It could be 99% of games and it wouldn't matter if the remaining 1% are what people actually wanna play. Support for games outside of Steam is beyond the capabilities of most PC users. Most people don't actually enjoy playing Troubleshooting Simulator.
That seems counterproductive for an energy drink.
