Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far...

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).

    Yeah, Linux is definitely oversold.

    I get where people are coming from, if you say it has a learning curve, fewer people will try it, and a lot of those people would’ve had a fine experience. But those that have a rough time will convince others to not bother.

    I think it’s much better to undersell it and have people be pleasantly surprised.

      And the next part of the equation is that when you go online to ask for help, people tell you you are a noob and it’s a skill issue.

      Well…
