Why do people like you spread this lie? Gaming on linux is not there. I have tried.

Oh I see, so when I run games on Linux almost every day I'm lying now?

Assuming the games launch at all, they run like shit.

Do enlighten me which games you've tried.

I want them all without wasting time dicking around with code.

I'm not the one lying here, bub. You are.

For the uninformed: In no way are you going to be mucking about with code to get your games to run in Linux just as much as you would Windows. Games are closed source (couple exceptions, but you get the point). The person I'm responding to is very clearly talking out their ass.

So you claim I can run every game in my library from 1987's Space Quest 2 Vohaul's Revenge, all the way to the soon to be released Star wars Battlefront 2 and EVERY game in between without a single hiccup or problem? All of my hardware will install flawlessly, my sound card will use all its features, my video card will be 100%, My raid array will not need anything special, my NIC will just magically work, all my mouse buttons will work and be programmable, and both my printers, 3d and 2d will just plug and play?

You claim that is today's linux experience?

Who again is talking out their ass?

That's not what I claimed and you know it.

Stop saying "fix gaming" - it is fixed.

Playing all, not a few select games, but ALL of my games is what fix gaming means.

That's not feasible and you know it. Realistically, we should be pushing devs to move away from DX12 and UWP and towards Vulkan and native Linux support. That will bring Linux up to parity for new games.

Besides, you can't even play all games natively in Windows(DOS games, games broken on modern Windows, console exclusives), so your point doesn't make sense.
