Anecdotally: I worked from home today, my primary laptop is Linux mint. Helldivers 2 wouldn't start, seems an update broke the settings I had. I tried a couple generic fixes through terminal and started getting huffy because everything would be easier if I just used windows. Non of this would be happening if I just took the blue pill...about 30 minutes in I turned off steam sync for saved games and suddenly it all worked again.

Moral of the story: sometimes Linux isn't this complicated beast, and it's as simple as something that even windows would have a problem with. It's only difficult until you figure out the problem. Windows is a necessary evil some of the time but never all of the time.

Just keep swimming. You'll figure it out. Not trying is being lazy and complacent.

I for one welcome the ability to:

• play flash games,
• Games without launchers or not on steam
• Run vortex, wemod, obscure mod installers without winetricks that are more hassle than they're worth (if they work at all)
• Literally just not have to find workarounds for everything I want to do that isn't through steam that adds another hour of research and installation to the process.

You may now begin the downvotes. (Even if you're wrong I respect your opinions)

Why would you hate yourself that much?
