I had to compile a driver for my USB gaming keyboard, from a third party source, btw that keyboard worked seamlessly on my windows machine. Whats your point?
I use linux exclusively for work, and windows exclusively for Personal use because many top games don’t even run on linux, yes I tried proton. And Adobe doesn’t even want to bless Linux, no Gimp is no where near to Photoshop.
Also, software that doesn't run in wine these days is usually due to anti-piracy/anti-cheat as they try to dig into your operating system. Since these are anti-ethical to how Linux works, if you are fine running these sorts of things then why would you try and switch to Linux?
Redragon keyboard. And where I tried to imply im trying to switch to linux I don’t know, I balance my usage with linux and windows. If running major softwares used by lots of people is anti-ethical to linux, people must stop suggesting it as a daily driver for them. Speak to any gamer about if he wants anti-cheat or privacy, without hesitation they will say anti-cheat, so stop suggest proton as a magical replacement. If linux wants to be a daily driver, it needs to be as seamless as windows. I don’t want to spend dozens of hours on what config, or driver i have to tinker with to get some basic software or hardware support. Linux is not there yet. btw Nvidia graphics are proprietary and not exactly opensource, since its anti ethical to linux philosophy, shall we stop using graphic cards?
Nvidia isn't the only game in town, my AMD GPU works great. But also I didn't say that running closed source is against Linux. Trying to run software rootkits for other OS' is anti-ethical to Linux.
And whenever anyone asks if they should switch to Linux,if all they want it to be is a Windows emulator then I would recommend against it.
