the year of the Linux desktop is now
It's still coming, I have tried to switch using my desktop but still have. Needed to swap back to windows for stability.
For stability? A missing feature or software you need I get, but stability? Which distro/DE are you using? Please don't say you're running Gentoo and some crazy TWM setup or something like that lol
Stability to me was one of the biggest reasons to use Linux - it does exactly what I expect it to do, never breaks, updates never break shit.
I'm was talking about game stability. This is a gaming related topic right? Linux is stable but games had some issues.
Truthfully nothing major that stopped me from playing but I had to mess with proton in steam from time to time. Most recently the Last of Us crashes on start, not sure why it was fine previously. Also, there were some games anti cheat did not work and I needed to play in Windows.
Also, I have consistently had issues streaming to my steam Deck. Windows isn't perfect either but it's more likely to work the with windows. Sure maybe it's my Nvidia GPU, but saying switch to amd does make my setup more stable.
