Think of him what you want, but I think this nicely shows the problems that “gamers” will encounter when switching to linuxand gives a good view from outside the Linux community

I have no idea what was up with the multiple steam windows, it did feel like he was actually cursed when that happened. But the “weird control” issue in l4d2 which was then solved by using a custom launch command found on protondb… thats super real. Eventually you learn to check protondb as a habit the second you encounter any kind of game issue but for a newcomer thats another hurdle.

He set himself up for failure again with PopOS. Cachy and Bazzite are much better choices by the other team members.

Think of him what you want, Will do. He keeps damaging the reputation of the only real alternative to windows and he might be getting paid by Microsoft to do it. The last time he did this was fucking absurd. The terminal basically told him not to type a command unless he absolutely knew well what he was doing and he did it anyway. I will always maintain that if a user reads a lengthy and terrifying warning and then proceeds without any research, they have invited data and OS loss.
