It's not accurate. None of the games in my Steam collection that work on MacOS and Windows are compatible with Linux. You can't claim Linux offers the same level of support for apps as Windows and MacOS.

I mostly play on Linux. It's actually quite simple to show how Linux gaming or productivity works. You mentioned you've never used it, so what I'm saying is likely made up or taken from another source.

It seems to be a debate about game compatibility. You claim your experience is limited, while I suggest most of my games don’t match that. Overall, Linux support for games is quite poor.

I’m a regular Linux user who’s experimented with running it as the primary operating system. I haven’t tried standard distributions like Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, or Debian before. While I’ve used Ubuntu occasionally and Debian often, I found the command line to be the biggest benefit. If you prefer not to rely on the command line, I wouldn’t suggest Linux as your main OS. However, if you’re open to learning, you’ll discover a lot of value. You can simply type a command and have the desired software automatically downloaded and installed. Updating the system and managing programs is straightforward, and everything can be tailored to your preferences. This means customization in nearly any area. If you don’t like the look of the desktop environment, there are many alternatives like Unity, Gnome, XFCE, and even options that mimic macOS. It’s also quite stable, requiring fewer system resources than Windows, which leaves more RAM for your tasks. Security-wise, it’s much stronger than Windows, especially when properly secured. Compared to MacOS, it can be just as secure if you take care of it. In most areas except gaming, where compatibility issues arise, Ubuntu shines. For any questions or troubleshooting, there are plenty of free, open-source resources available. Hope this helps!

It seems many people have criticized No Man's Sky, and that's understandable. I just wanted to share this perspective.

Absolutely love Linux! Give it a dual-boot try, you'll be surprised how much you learn. No matter what you pick, remember Tux the Linux penguin is always ready to help again.

Personal stories don’t provide much value here. It’s possible you have 100 games without Linux support, while another set has 100 with it.
