I read a post from someone complaining that they couldn’t get Half-Life to run on Linux

Another upgrade, another surprise. apt upgrade fucked up system font.
Hopefully it's a VM, numerous failures of Linux made me run it only in Virtual Machines.
A simple apt update && apt upgrade leads to fucked up fonts of my system (the terminal avoided this genius move because I configured it with a specific font.

This hits the nail on the head
Recently came across this post, and I think it deserves a full read. I find OP's whole arc interesting. Reformed hater buys a Mac and stops fighting his own computer, all because it's a finished product, built for people who have things to do. But I've got a few things to add.
>everyday there's like a 1 in 100 chance that you're going to have to deal with straight bullshit
Even if your hardware is perfectly supported, everything's configured the way it should be, and you actually know your way around linux, "a 1 in 100 chance" is generous. In practice it's higher, and it climbs the closer your distro sits to the bleeding edge.
First timers on this sub and pedantic loons might already be typing "but this happens on Windows too!". Sure, broken updates ship on every platform, these things happen. The difference is that rolling back KB1234 is a few clicks and a reboot, while working out why your GPU dropped to a black screen after a routine pacman -Syu is an afternoon in the TTY. One of these has a name, a number, and an uninstall button while the other has a wiki page and your evening - and that's if you're lucky.

Because they need privacy for their priest like behavior even when playing a game.

Using Old GPU Drivers for Games that Broke from New Vulkan Headers
Rolling back a GPU driver on Linux is not a simple "lose 3% performance". It's a cascade of regressions, incompatibilities, and breakages that Windows users never deal with.
“old gpu drivers to play new game because new drivers that add and force new vulkan header broke many games” Linux Game Bros : r/linuxsucks101
It's no, exaggeration and it's something LiGNUts glaze over
Linux's gaming stack is a Jenga tower of dependencies. Proton depends on Vulkan, DXVK depends on Vulkan, vkd3d-proton depends on Vulkan, Games depend on Proton/DXVK/vkd3d, and Steam depends on all of the above. -It will never be as good as native games on Windows.
If you roll back the GPU driver, you're not just losing performance: You’re losing API versions: Newer games stop launching, Newer Proton builds stop working, Newer DXVK versions refuse to load, Shader pre-caching breaks, HDR support disappears, VR support breaks, Ray tracing paths fail, and Anti-cheat compatibility drops even further.
On Windows? -You install an older driver and everything else stays modern.
If a game or translation layer (DXVK, vkd3d) wasn't updated to match the new header, the game crashes, fails to compile shaders, loads but renders garbage, runs but tanks performance, or breaks input or fullscreen modes.
You can see the evidence in reports like: "new drivers that add and force new vulkan header broke many games". Linux doesn't freeze the graphics stack the way Windows does; it updates everything, even if it breaks compatibility.

Why Does Linux Cause So Much More Eye Strain Than Windows?
What really surprises me is that almost nobody talks about how much harder Linux is on the eyes compared to Windows. I have no idea whether it's the same with AMD graphics cards, but with NVIDIA, you'd have to be practically blind not to notice the difference.
If you spend 5–6 hours working on a PC or reading text, Linux is genuinely exhausting on your eyes. Enabling Night Light helps a little, but that's not a real solution it's just a workaround.
What puzzles me the most is how rarely this issue is discussed. To be fair, I'd guess that around 90% of Linux users mainly watch videos or play games, so they probably don't spend hours reading or writing text. But for anyone who does, the difference is absolutely unbelievable.

Imagine if there was a FOSS OS that didn't have a Community Tossing Bullshit at You.
GPL is a CULT!
BSD -Better networking stack, load handling, cohesiveness, documentation, power efficiency, and community (than Linux).
