someone asked me a couple months back why i can't run my games on Linux and i said because they just don't work well and the controller doesn't work etc... but i hadn't actually tried in many years. Lo and behold pretty much every game works, most of them just fine, and all of them work with the controller which doesn't even happen on Windows.

never looking back now

Well, we (linux nerds) have been saying that for a long time now. It is just not reaching people. And of course that is only for people absolutely want to play games. Everyone else who uses windoze is just coping.

well to be fair, a lot of this shit did not actually work a few years ago when I last tried... i've been using linux off and on for about 25 years but it seems it has come a long way in a short time in the gaming department lately

Exactly. It has been pretty top notch for the last three years but aside from gaming it has probably been ver good for 5-10.
