I feel like the first few times I was like "did I mishear that?" Dislike "ma'am" because I always feel like they're saying "man" (and also, I don't feel old enough for ma'am yet). I wish madam would come back into use.
Well I tried Ubuntu and Debian in the past, but according to testing that Photonic did, Arch was doing a lot better as far as gaming performance.
It was a fun system to use, just could not get music or gaming working smoothly.
Agreed completely. After a fresh Windows 10 installation, and installing most recent drivers, I was able to download and play my Itch.io games after about an hour, hour and a half maybe.
In Linux I have to make sure I get a properly performing or game optimized version of Arch, install Nvidia drivers, hope Optimus or whatever the internal/dedicated video card switcher is called now, install Lutris, hope the Lutris install script functions, install Steam, install Proton Glorious Eggroll version, enable Linux Proton beta and move GE to it, install Borderlands 2 and research why I'm getting 13-15 frames per second, do that for about a week, and then reinstall Windows.
The above also is true for getting Pipewire and Wayland working for sound with my audio input device and lament that I didn't get hardware that was tested beforehand to work with in-kernel drivers. Then find someone's Github to install an interface because Pipewire broke itself or isn't picking up my mic or broke itself with Discord.
What they're not mentioning is the taking Estrogen part. That'll cut waaaay back on the ick smell.
