I've been incredibly skeptical of Linux gaming for a long time now. But more than that I've been fed up with windows. I finally bit the bullet and bought some new ssd's. Burned a bazzite iso and booted from the thumb drive. Honestly? The setup was flawless. The only thing I could see a non-technical person struggling with is burning images and booting from a drive. If a shop starts selling pre-builts with Linux configured for gaming then this might actually be the year of the Linux desktop

Now excuse me I'm gonna go play Arx Fatalis

  1. I much prefer how Linux does it, hopefully others agree
  2. easy to disable if it bothers you
  3. balenaEtcher is pretty easy to use, I'm not really familiar with the options anymore

I'm happy to walk anyone through the process, and I'm guessing most other Linux users would as well.
