I started daily driving Linux since I left school this year and used it before but mainly windows because school wanted us to run Word, Teams, etc. Today I wanted to play games and haven’t set up my device for gaming and didn’t want to download the game twice (good internet). Like a good PC user I wanted to do my updates. It really sucks on windows. I had three windows updates to make, one crashed. It rebooted my device 4 times. Also I needed to update other drivers and applications. Now I really appreciate package managers more than ever before.

    Consider giving Linux gaming a try! That was me until Linux gaming started improving a lot (driven in part by Valve’s Steam Deck which runs Linux).

    Some if not most of my Steam games work without issue on my Ubuntu, other launchers like Battle.net, Epic’s launcher, and Riot’s launcher are one-click install with Bottles or Lutris. This year on my Ubuntu 23.04 I’ve been playing: OW2, Last of Us, Super Meat Boy, SpiritFarer, LoL, F1 2023, Okami, Celeste, A Hat of Time, and Cyberpunk 2077.
