not only was i talking about my use case and experiences, lets be very clear "gold" rating is unacceptable and the fact that "it works when u fuck around with it a bit" is the gold standard for linux gaming and the state of half the games is already terrible. the fact that when i say doing anything in linux besides absolute basic tasks is a pain in the ass yalls response is u that u can make it work which is bizzare making it work IS a pain in the ass.
in my experience gold games work almost alwaus just fine. I don't expect platinum rating on a lot of games since a lot of modern games are just as unstable on windows as they are on linux. In my opinion the meaning of gold rating has changed a lot. 2010s with wine gold used to have quite a lot of tinkering but with proton nowadays it's usually either just fine or solved with 1 or 2 launch commands copy pasted from protondb. some games have even slightly better performance on linux with the right hardware.
sorry for starting the whole argument but I also don't know what kind of answers you expected when you came to linux community trash talking linux with things that a lot of linux users don't agree with. your use cases happens to be one of the worst though on linux.
but the fact that you cant use professional cad software and play games that are specifically made impossible to play on linux don't mean that you can't do anything but use office and browser and I still do think that statement is stupid as hell.
but sorry again for getting so heated, I'm going to stop arguing now since neither of us are going to change their minds and this contributes absolutely nothing
Id like to know what means "too much fiddling". So far in my steam library of 400+ games, there has only been one that didn't work with my Steam Deck, and it was because the Devs chose Kernel Level Anticheat over making the game available to Linux users.
Hell, the most "fiddling" i do, is "Add game as a non-steam game" through lutris so my controller works in gaming mode. Or maybe I have to change the graphics preset from high to low? If thats too much fiddling than yeah, I guess I'd be curious what you do on windows that isn't considered fiddling.
I think you answered to the wrong comment
You are right, my apologies.
