  1. Funnily enough opposite to spiritmacardi, I am on Windows because I (for hte most part) download app, install, download and install drivers. Boom, playing. And if there's any issues, I have 2 or 3 main things where I go to: 1- issues with the game itself (too new, not optimized, optimized for only nvidia or amd, etc) 2- Issues with the game's config inside the game 3- Your PC specs are not performing correctly or are not powerful enough. Yes, the OS is garbage in many aspects and has bugs and shit all around, but when it comes to that USUALLY (not always) you start on those 3 points and you're (again, USUALLY...) good to go. On Linux I have to create a file, put in a code I don't know how to write so I copy it from the internet so the system auto mounts a drive which may or may not work, which then you have to ask for help around, as well as "permissions" for a drive when creating a second steam library on another disk, and hope that doesn't break anything, and then having 50 different proton versions, eggroll versions and then experimental, and then linux steam runtime version or whatever (it's been some months so i forgot specifically). This is CRAZY. Yes, I hate Microsoft and their stupid telemetry and hit on performance as much as you. I hate they break into your stuff (or break your stuff) and privacy as well, etc, etc. But at the end of the day... I just wanna get Steam, download a game and play it. And if I eventually want to play online games, especially MMOs (whenever a good one comes out again), I can't do that on Linux (generally speaking). I wrote this comment to comment on the comment (lol) of "One DE should monopolize". I agree with the sentiment, objectively it sounds like "the solution". However with Linux is much more complex. First you have the base systems. Arch, Debian? Something else? So there should be a consensus on which one to use and why. A perked up Debian based system with newer packages but still tested enough that is not going to break when you're making coffee? Or Arch and "test it a bit more" and if it breaks just "oops I did it again..." (were you singing that?) just like Microsoft does (generally speaking, again). Let's say the community in a miracle all come together and decide for something, personally for me I wouldn't think that ONE DE is the solution. But I would just leave 4: KDE, Gnome, [Some tiling manager] and a low-resources DE. (we are talking about Officially supported DEs, if people wanna make new ones after they can of course). KDE because I'm biased. I think is aesthetically pleasing and the customization is intuitive ENOUGH albeit overwhelming at times with some quirks and customized in certain ways could be really useful and have both the mainstream "curated" look as well the functionality. Gnome, I fucking hate it but half of the world who uses Linux likes Gnome. So I wouldn't want someone taking away KDE from me, I would not take away Gnome from them. Tiling managers because they are cool and productive and you have people like Brodie who loves those. They do have useful applications and not always you can replicate the behavior on the other DEs. So for those who like those, imo they still need to have one developed (and if possible integrate the different managers into 1 with all the features or refine the existing ones). Low-resource DE... obvious.
