    The problem is that Linux is only ready in certain cases. For me, it isn't there yet, because I can't use it for my gaming machine. Every time this is brought up, Linux enthusiast shrug it off as "no big deal", you can game on Linux, just the games that use kernel level anti-cheat won't work. Well yeah, that's a bit the issue, I still like to play some of those games you see?

    Meanwhile, I have Linux Mint running on a laptop that I bring on vacation. I don't game on that one. Then Linux works just as well as any other OS, no issue.

    That's not "Linux isn't ready", it's "I still play games from companies that like to fuck with me."

    It's fine, and we get it. But Linux isn't ever going to fix that.

    Edit: We are seeing a lot more care from companies now that the SteamDeck is popular, so I hope your favorites get some relief.

    I've accepted that I'll need a weird rig to play my favorite games that come from developers with shitty practices.

    Ironically, mine tend to be Linux rigs emulating Windows to get things just right. But we do what we have to do play our favorite games.

    Anyway, I'm not judging you, or your gaming choice.

    I'm judging the game developers for choosing shitty tools that make our lives harder.

    How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money's worth?

    Perhaps Linux isn't the right operating system, but it's competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn't a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it's for everyone.

    Meanwhile, I'll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.

    A jack of all trades is something that does a lot of things reasonably well. I'd argue that Linux is exactly that.

    Your only issue seems to be with certain types of games not working. That's not the fault of Linux (as others have explained), but it seems like a fairly niche situation, so I don't think it applies to your "jack off all trades" argument.

    Would you say that MacOS is not a "jack off all trades"? It does a much poorer job with games than Linux...
