do you have nvidia?

AMD. The distro I had did something weird where I was getting around 10-15 FPS on the Desktop until I added the community repos and installed drivers from there. Everything was great until I realised that Steam stopped working at all and Heroic Launcher wouldn't launch any games. After hopping over to Garuda, everything is fine-ish. Every now and again I launch something like Hogwarts Legacy and just need to reboot because nothing loads after the disclaimers. Still haven't figured out how to launch Mafia DE. Etc., etc.

i’m going to push back on this a bit (...) gaming on Linux isn’t like it was 10 years ago

I'm not arguing that, I myself said that it's great today with things like Proton.

But saying that it's "better than on Windows" is just flat out insanity.

but that isn’t Linux’s fault, it’s theirs.

Average Joe doesn't care who's fault it is, just that he can't play his favourite game without issues or terminal hacking.

Racism is cringe.
