That's so silly. I built my PC specifically to play Starfield. I installed Linux Pop, because all the "retards" told me it can play any game. Starfield didn't work on launch, so I wasted a day installing a different distro, that didn't work either. I spent about 20 minutes installing windows, and starfield works. All I want is my games to work, and Linux is trash for that.
Download steam, enable experimental. Done sugar pie, no need to lie.

I didn't say it still doesn't work, that's cute though. I want to be able to play a game when it comes out, Linux failed for Starfield, so windows won out. It doesn't matter if that changed since I had to switch, the point is I did HAVE to use windows in that moment. Why would I risk losing everything I've done to this OS, just to not be able to play ES6 when that comes out? Having to learn 3 separate OS's in the span of a few days was a nightmare. I'm cool with simple, easy to fix, windows.
That’s not Linux being trash, that’s the game being trash. How is it the OS’s fault that the game wasn’t developed for it?
The point is, I can't play the games I want to play.
Sure, but don’t blame Linux for that.
Well, if I can't on Linux, but can on windows, what else is there to blame, and why would I use Linux?
The developers of the game are to blame for not making it cross-platform even though it’s easy with today’s frameworks.
Yeah, that doesn't really matter to me. The point is, they don't work. I don't really care why.
You’re free to not care, just don’t call the OS trash because of it.
