revisiting this post to say something: I installed linux on my laptop, installed the nvidia drivers, they actually worked this time yay.

More than half of the games I frequently play straight up Do Not Run on linux no matter what I do. (and yes, that includes with proton, trying many different versions)

I want to use linux on my main machine, I really do, I love FOSS, I love not having to deal with bloat, but I only use my pc for games, so when they don't run that means my pc is $1000 of wasted money, which kinda sucks

#I wanna play my games and use linux #is that so unreasonable?#and dualbooting? running 2 OSes? such a fucking hassle.#I'm not migrating half my shit to linux just to have to boot back into windows every time I want to switch game.#and using a VM? losing performance to VM overhead? having to diagnose VM specific issues and deal with passing the GPU through?#again that is such a fucking hassle.#as a sidenote I couldn't get my VR headset to work with it so #there's that too.#there is also no xbox app #I have quite a few games on there #also no minecraft bedrock which I need to spend time with my siblings as they don't play any other games I have
