    It does exactly what the people on the internet are telling me to make it do. There’s a big difference.

    I know it’s hard to accept, but Linux (no matter the distro) requires external help a lot more than Windows or OSX, even for people who are tech literate.

      External help on linux: actual people responding, explicit error messages and commands, everything transparent.

      External help on windows: try reinstalling drivers/vc redist, bro. marked as solved, OP and a bunch of other people still saying it didn’t do shit

      Also just disagree on needing any more help. Not my experience at all.

      Preach. I love Linux. I run PopOS and have tried several distros. I ran Linux only from 2008-2013. It’s gotten so much better than it used to. But there is still so much to do if we ever want to reach mass desktop adoption.

          A good goal to have. I’m super happy with the work Steam has done to make more games compatible. 5 years ago I’d say less than 5% of my library would have worked in Linux and now it’s closer to 60-70%!
