      Folks just need to be building more native software for linux so we can get away from everything windows. Looking at you gamedevs

      Between Wine, Lutris, and Valve’s work on Proton and DXVK it’s actually in a really good place compared to even just a year ago. What are you having issues with?

          The anticheat issues are actually solved on recent versions (for some anticheat software) or development branches that should see release soon (for the rest).

            I still can't play Vermin Tide 2 cause of the bullshit anti cheat stuff but I don't think I've had trouble with a single other game.

      Honestly they should be thanked for what they've achieved which is huge... they're providing a compatibility layer for a closed source OS. I do understand it might be frustrating not being able to run a certain program.

        i mean for sure, its impressive. a lot of emulation stuff is also impressive too. but the goal of emulation and so on is perfection, so hopefully they work out a couple more kinks. i intend on swapping to linux anyways when i build a new computer, at least to try it out for a couple months. i used to do it long ago and i got too frustrated with the lack of compatibility, and reserved linux for old computers that i use for basic home servers and stuff
