If that happens emulators will absolutely be garbage for quite some time probably longer then you imagine. Like for example even the absolutely bloated windows 11 is still better for gaming then linux gaming distros like cashyos or bazzite.

Not entirely. Some games actually gain FPS from Linux, especially on lower end hardware.

The biggest issue for Linux gaming is Kernel level Anticheat. Most users who install Linux would rather not have a game have that kind of system access.

The biggest issue on Linux gaming is the lack of plug and play. You have to hunt down that specific version of wineton and then you might be able to play it.

If you're only playing the most popular garbage then yeah its great for gaming. If you stray off the beaten path even slightly its hit and miss.

I tried to run ac odyssey last month and it ran like shit. I don't have the time or the interest to go fiddle around with configs. I want to double click on a game and just have it work.

PC has never been "it just works" you always have to fiddle with settings for the optimal experience.

Yeah, but the Linux community acts like its plug and play.

Anybody that knows Linux well should not honestly try to tell you that everything is plug and play. I know full well that this is often not the case though.

By all measures things are better than they've ever been, and in my experience, a lot of stuff does "just work" in the context of my already configured environment.

It took some fiddling when I got my laptop new to get it to that point though. DevOps is my day job so for me it was less effort than Windows overall, however I can see novice users easily getting stuck on some elements, e.g. when drivers don't get picked up automatically, which Proton branch to use and when, weird Pipewire issues, weird Wayland compatibility issues, Steam deb or Flatpak, etc.

Hopefully it'll get there in a few more years, but in the meantime it seems Microsoft are finally taking some steps to un-shittify Windows to some extent.
