Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.
Lucky you, not my experience at all, even ended up repurchasing a game on Steam while it was on sale because at some point, time is money and I had spent a whole lot of money trying to make it work.
It's a pretty seamless experience nowadays. I installed CachyOS on my handheld and installing games outside of Steam is pretty seamless with Lutris and Heroic Launcher
Needing another launcher to launch a launcher isn't seamless and sometimes it works like crap and requires a reboot to get things working.
thats not how that works though. Lutris and Heroic are not the same as steam. They are seperate launchers. Also why do you have to reboot anything? Generally I have not had a single piece of software that required a reboot to work on Linux. Even the updates don't require reboots.
Funny how Steam having to launch EA app to start a game = people complaining about Steam launching a launcher, but Lutris launching EA app to launch a game =/= a launcher launching a launcher for some reason...
After installing the game on Lutris or Heroic I can just add it to Steam and then launch the game directly from steam. In terms of UX I just need to press the play button, wait a little bit and then see the game main menu. Sometimes you see other launchers but there's a lot of games that have their own launcher before launching the game, Fallout 4? Nixxes ported games?
I don't know what anything else that you want. Even on Windows same shit still happens.
That's what I'm saying, and on Windows people hate it.
I also had a lot of trouble getting the EA app to work properly with Lutris so it's not as if it was the super user friendly solution Linux users want to pretend it is.
You want to play the wrong games.
A Linux user doesn't touch "AAA".
I can eat from whichever dumpster I choose, thank you very much.
No true Sgotsman fallacy.
I only use Windows at work and played RE games and Control without issue.
Bruh I play Baldur's Gate 3 on Linux. Shitty AAA I agree with you.
Then Linux shouldn't be suggested as a replacement for Windows for gamers.
AAA games work on Linux, sometimes even sooner and better than on Windows.
It should and will continue to be.
Not if it can't run games that people want to play.
They shouldn't want to play them.
