Niche, huh? Linux dang near runs the world. Not being a primary gaming platform does not make it niche.

Oof, no. Some people are people. Have you met people? Do not recommend.

My experimentation with gaming using Steam had gone just fine, as well. But I hear it all the time, that Linux and gaming have issues. My response to them is pretty much that I don’t care. I don’t use Linux for gaming. Gaming isn’t my thing. To me, gamers and their needs are completely unimportant, as the pass time is just a waste.

That’s a very boomer like attitude. Learn or get left behind.

Not wanting to learn is just boring and lazy.

No different then a good bug report. Try something, if it doesn’t work, research why. If after you’ve researched and tried everything you can, then present your case to others. By that point you can show what things you’ve tried and didn’t work, and what sources/references you used.

Thanks, you two… I needed that. :)

Was it set for Bruce or David?

Preach!

There are Youtube videos, books, magazines, forums, chats… Not knowing how to use settings once, in a pinch? Sure. But forever staying that way towards it? That’s on you, not Linux or any other OS.

That’s a flaw with the people, not the OS.

Because learning is a good thing.

It’s called learning. Try it sometime.

Pretty simple, really. Buy a console for gaming, or a separate machine for gaming. I don’t game, the joy of that died with the loss of lan parties and Tribes II.

Choose a system, make it your daily driver for work and home, and you will form the habits and muscle memory. Don’t and it will remain a struggle to some degree or another.

As long as your happy.

I take my coffee black, like my men. A line from the movie Airplane. My wife made me quit saying it, that servers today don’t know the movie, and so it’s just creepy instead of funny now. :(

When it is not from you.

Good. This further hinders their ad revenue.
