Bottles. It’s the best click and play experience imo. Select the gaming preset and use wine-ge or proton-ge as the runner (default is soda which is not really good) and you are good to go.
Sometimes the installers don’t work correctly on proton-get so use system installed wine and you are good to go.
That truly is a shitshow

In general, I think genuinely that Linux requires a more hands on approach. But the best thing is, I solve a problem ONCE. Then I store the script to git and forget about it. The problem is done, it no longer exists.
Why did the coffee shop have a “Free coffee and unlimited sitting time” sign in front of it?

My laptop came with win11 preinstalled… I used it like that for about 4 months. I can very confidently say installing Linux increased the battery duration of my laptop by about 20%.

If you by any chance do something that goes against physics, it just means that there is more physics you didn’t know about.
Same here. I used to dual boot but finally moved to Linux and instead shortened my games list. Plus games that I really enjoy playing are fromsoft games,hollow knight, hades, dead cells and factorio and all of them are amazing on Linux. So sorry Billy G, no more OS level big brother for me
I have read online that Nobara/Bazzite etc have many perks, but I haven’t really tried them. The main issue of my system is that I have only 512gb of ssd storage and hence heavier distros are a no no for me.
Plus I used vanilla fedora from the get go and am not afraid to use the terminal or program something to solve any minor problems I am having.
I would recommend using vanilla fedora to first get the feel of the rpm ecosystem and if you like it,then test out the other variants.
I had a lot of the same issues you are stating until I switched over to fedora. I have an nvidia Optimus laptop and it was quite the pain until I installed fedora and used the proprietary drivers from rpm fusion. I use b9ttles and steam to run my games and I can play most of the games I want to. Even Wayland works nice. I am using the Plasma spin of Fedora 40. Hope you can find the solutions to your problems.
Protip, use Rufus to create the windows install stuck and disable all the telemetry if you want to.
Happy computing.
I did this. And it worked like a charm
Man the last one really hits home. I would transfer all of my github projects for a stable livable job
I don’t tell you to not use gui. I tell you to use text editors
IDE? Are we nazis? All you need is a text editor. Luckily vim and na o came preinstalled
After booting in, switch to a tty, then start the de from there, so like I use plasma so I execute plasma-wayland. Check if that works, if so, then the problem lies with the login manager (sddm or gdm). If not post the error log and I will check if I can understand what’s wrong.
