there’s still a lot of titles that require tweaking/hacking. And some just refuse to run, period.

run into that shit on windows, too. and theres not compatability layers to blame, there.

Even titles that are marked as Gold on ProtonDB sometimes crash or refuse to run randomly.

and shit doesnt crash on windows? All protons in the world arent going to fix a games inherent bugs that make it crash.

I honestly cannot remember the last time I had trouble running anything on Windows. Probably around early Windows 7? It’s been years.

Mate, come on… If a game crashes on Windows, you know it’s the game’s or the driver’s fault.

If a game crashes on Linux, it might be the game’s fault, or the driver’s fault, or the virtualiser’s fault, or the virtualised driver’s fault, or maybe a config file somewhere has something commented for no reason, or maybe you just rebooted and forgot to re-mount the secondary drive, or maybe a billion other reasons.

Gaming on Linux is MUCH better than it used to be, but pretending that it’s anywhere near Windows’ level of “fire and forget” is just being silly.

I have the feeling you don’t play much non-popular games.
