AMD. The distro I had did something weird where I was getting around 10-15 FPS on the Desktop until I added the community repos and installed drivers from there. Everything was great until I realised that Steam stopped working at all and Heroic Launcher wouldn't launch any games. After hopping over to Garuda, everything is fine-ish. Every now and again I launch something like Hogwarts Legacy and just need to reboot because nothing loads after the disclaimers. Still haven't figured out how to launch Mafia DE. Etc., etc.
I'm not arguing that, I myself said that it's great today with things like Proton.
But saying that it's "better than on Windows" is just flat out insanity.
Average Joe doesn't care who's fault it is, just that he can't play his favourite game without issues or terminal hacking.
cringe tbh
Are you 12?
If I was, I'd still be old enough to know Harry Potter is cringe
Yikes...
Racism is cringe.
I'm on EndeavourOS and it's nothing but smooth sailing for gaming.
Things often do run better than on windows, plus with the added benefits of not being on windows.
If one were too say it's "easier" or "more seamless" than Windows, then I'd take a pause at that statement.
Even so, I do think gamers should start migrating to Linux, even if it's just SteamOS.
