Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I just really want to be able to play racing sims in Proton without them breaking. That seems to be one of the last frontiers for me to give up Windows entirely.
if you’d like I can dig up the tutorials I used to set up the gaming VM I use — it’s very durable (under NixOS) with maybe one breakage in the ~3 years I’ve been using it, it uses a dedicated graphics card so performance is excellent, and there’s a number of ways to attach input devices and audio so that latency isn’t an issue
The problem tends to be more that the games I want to play aren't particularly playable under Proton to begin with; Assetto Corsa's listed as Silver under ProtonDB. That and I've got to use third-party drivers for my Logitech wheel to get working force feedback, which I can do, but it's a faff I'd rather do without.
That said, I'll be looking to build a new PC soon when the newly-announced AMD cards come out, so I'll probably look more into getting things working properly then.
