Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far...
www.youtube.com
It's been a little while since we did our first Linux video... so today we talk about the performance comparison between Linux and Windows with bonus footage...

Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

    He said, on a topic, about a big ominous message on linux, that would have done nothing at all… if it wasnt for the bug known for months in the distro, that they refused to fix until it got bad press from a popular youtube video.

    But yes, its windows fault. /s

      Right, that’s my point: when Linux gives a big ominous message, it’s because it’s actually important. If the distro hadn’t had that bug, it wouldn’t have given the big ominous message.

      Remember, the bug wasn’t the warning message itself. The bug was removing the DE when installing Steam, which the message correctly warned about. The warning message was appropriate and warranted.

      It is Windows, and only Windows, that mis-trains users to ignore warnings because it issues so many spurious ones for benign situations.
