Why can't I just use my windows computer for gaming and linux for everything else? It's not an either/or thing.

using windows implies you're using a ntfs drive.
ntfs is horrible for several reasons.

Switched just recently to Bazzite/Fedora. My only complaint is that the default file explorer (Dolphin) has a non-functional search engine.
For games I was impressed with how seamless they've made the various compatibility layers, such as being able to install battlenet through lutris and the games all just werk. Even the anti-cheat riddled shit works.

Name some.
NTFS literally works since they pushed a commit to the kernel a few years ago

Don't say FSearch, it doesn't even use inotify

I tried installing two distros, one gave me errors and wouldn't install and the other kept crashing just clicking through desktop menus. I can install Windows and it just works, until Linux can at least do that it's useless to the majority of people.

I tried that, but it's a hassle and Linux just does most things better.
I only keep a Windows install for CAD and work stuff.

Yep, it's Windows time.

After some hiccups i have a linux desktop now
Still a couple of things I can't get working, namely, installing vst plugins into ableton. But other than that, all the games I play seemingly work fine
Its definitely nice opening bazzar and just having free community made flatpaks available up for download

It is if you're installing stuff like Debian, Mint, Fedora. Identical to Windows installation. Only stuff like Arch gets more autistic like picking your preferred audio software.

What is the point of choosing an audio software? You just want one that plays audio?

Windows has had vulnerabilities so why are you using Windows?

I literally just tried to like half an hour ago.

I think i'll stay on windows for now. Linux is nice but the amount of autism i had to muster to make a normie-friendly distro of all things have the same functionality i need is just too much and there's still stuff that just does not want to work.
It did run Ricochet pretty well however

Aye, changing during the last month of it's support EOL. Fuck microcuck. Bloated spyware OS. Truth is anyone that isn't changing is just a lazy bastard. Even in gaming, the only thing you are concerned of is the newest AAA slop which usually aren't even that great early into their life so it's better to get later, on sale and with down the stream linux compat.

Pulseaudio is a longstanding audio server that just works for simple purposes, where pipewire tries to be more all-encompassing and low-latency, but is potentially slightly more complicated to configure. The beauty of minimal distros is that you can choose whatever you need for your own purpose.
>>715469071
Very curious which distros you installed and how you managed to fail lmao
