    Way to ignore the BIGGEST point in my comment to hyper focus on a secondary point just for ego.

    Do I think someone should pick a distribution just because it has GameScope? No.

    But do you know which distros include these optimizations? It’s the distros that include Nvidia drivers in the package so users don’t have to update them in the command line. It’s the distros that use Fedora and Arch to get those driver updates out in a timely manner so you’re not stuck waiting 6 fucking months to not have a newly released game not be a buggy flickering mess.

    not worth risking fucking up your entire experience for!

    This is your key disconnect. You see the OS as an experience. Most people don’t. They see it as a tool to get want they want.

    You might be fine with only playing 5+ year old 16-bit indies on an AMD card. But guess what? MOST PEOPLE DON’T DO THAT. Most people have an Nvidia card and don’t want to buy an AMD card just to use a new OS. And a lot of people want to play newly released games from time to time.

    You know what distro sucks for both those use cases? Ubuntu. I don’t care if it’s your favorite, those are just the facts. Deal with it.

      Fuck off with that. I am only participating in this conversation solely because I’m sick and tired of seeing influencers like Other Linus flounder and damage the reputation of Linux because they keep taking trendy bad advice spouted by people like you.

      Quit reaching, you’re only damaging your credibility even further.

        No, you fuck off.

        You’re the one going on about “the performance doesn’t matter when you can’t set up the gaming distro”. For Luke and Elijah, setting up CachyOS and Bazzite went fine. When they did have issues, the specific distro choice wasn’t the cause.

        YOU’RE the one whinging about “why don’t they recommend Ubuntu!” Linus going with an Ubuntu-based distro is the cause of half of his problems, and switching to Ubuntu itself wouldn’t have fixed them.

        Do I think the video was perfect? No. But your takeaway from the video is ridiculous

          You’re the one making it personal and lying about my motivations. Regardless of what you think of the merits of my arguments about the actual topic, everyone can see that you’re being an uncivil asshole.
