In trying to switch to Linux but all the fucking around to make some games work gets tiring sometimes, enough that I don't think I'll ever switch completely because sometimes it's nice to just install and play.

Maybe you're going for more esoteric titles, or maybe some with invasive anti-cheat software, but just to add another, opposing point, I haven't had much trouble since switching to Kubuntu.

How many times did you open terminal up to get a game working?

If it’s more than zero then it isn’t user friendly or accessible.

I mainly play indie titles, but actually zero times so far. Steam really does everything for you nowadays

[–] bread@feddit.nl 1 points 6 months ago

I said not much trouble, not no trouble, but that being said, zero times. Issues I've encountered have not been related to getting a game running.

Zero. Everything is done though Steam.
