Yeah, I mean, the best thing to do is to get it working ahead of time.

Still applies though. “Oh but it used to be worse”

Everyone in the comments: “Actually I don’t have the same problems so this is wrong”

It’s different for different people. The distro, the hardware, and the game can all have an effect on how often problems arise.

Or Nvidia either according to all the people telling me my problems aren’t valid.

So if you want a good time with Linux you need and AMD GPU or integrated graphics, and it can’t be too new, and it can’t be too old.

I think linux’s image is pretty accurate

Also “Be ready to learn a new operating System! Linux isn’t Windows and the terminal is key to fix issues.” I agree. I think that’s not a good idea for a lot of people though. So I think posts like OP’s are kinda stupid. People shouldn’t try to push Linux on people who shouldn’t use it.

I use flatpak because my apt dependencies are borked
