This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

So far it's working fine, yeah. No need to choose among a zillion distros someone swears is the best, I know for a fact there are first-party drivers for everything, no need to fiddle around with CLI, it plays everything my graphics card can muster, and I don't need to worry about game compatibility or whether Nvidia deigned to support my OS.
Windows has a lot of problems, but if you're just looking to play games without too much complexity... It's as close to "it just works" as I can imagine getting without switching to a console (or limiting myself to the few games that work on Apple devices, I guess).
Plus, big argument, it's familiar. You can forgive more annoyances when you're not learning something new. Humans are just lazy like that.
Nowadays most people just recommend Bazzite if you just want to game
Just googled "best Linux distro for gaming," and got about 10 different recommendations.
You're literally the person your quote is describing lol
"Best Linux distro" listicles are notoriously bad for choosing a distro, which doesn't help at all, but nowadays everyone and their dog recommends Bazzite for people who just want to play games (don't ask me why, I wouldn't touch an atomic distro with a 10 foot pole)
