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

    After tinkering with it a bunch this morning I will say that all the things that I can see normie’s struggling with are:

    • drive management (renaming, mounting, etc)
    • grub, or as they might call it “that menu thing that shows up for 5 seconds”
    • setting up the thumb drive itself

    That said I still think pre-builts with good defaults could smooth most of this out
