From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Delusional.
I've been using Linux for over 10 years for work and dev. But for gaming it's still absolute dogshit. You need to constantly tinker to get shit to work.
So this basically leaves me with half of my game library than on Windows, half of my gaming hardware, no sound, and a worse performance even in Minecraft.
Everyone who says Linux is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than software dev or sys admin is just delusional.
Skill issue
How is skill related to booting up an OS and launching a game? That should not require skill.
Besides, I'm probably more skillful with Linux. I could probably fix all of these issues. I just won't. It's much faster booting into Windows.
