Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?

With the horrors of Win11 widely talked about, I’m thinking of flirting with linux once more. Is it a good idea at this time? Or is gaming on linux still niche as it once was?

What is your distro and what tips and tricks/perspectives you can share with a newbie like me :)

    “I cant be the problem, YOU must be the problem with YOUR attitude”

    Great comeback dude. Thanks for proving my entire point. New people arent the problem. People who havent learned everything arent the problem.

    People like you are the problem.

      I mean it’s not a comeback, it’s just advice. I started using Linux in 2004, when trying to Google an answer basically never worked, and once I was told that the included manuals contained all the instructions for everything, I started having a much better time. It was humbling since I considered myself very proficient with Windows troubleshooting, but I had to recognize that I still needed to read the instructions now that I was in unfamiliar territory.

      Anyway, since you’re not interested in that, have a nice day, and I hope your future experiences work out better for you.

      The dude literally gave you a couple of options on how to find manuals in the very beginning of his comment, yet you choose to be salty. SMH.
