Additionally, what changes are necessary for you to be able to use Linux full time?

  • The inability to play most games.

    The first time I used Linux, I couldn’t get it to work with my NIC so I couldn’t play Counter-Strike. Big nope.

    The second time, it wouldn’t work with my GPU properly so anything that used 3D graphics either didn’t run at all, or gave single digit frame rates.

    The last time I tried, Wine just wouldn’t work with anything or would constantly crash.

    Until Linux is just super easy, plug’n’play, “it just works” like Windows, it will never become my daily use OS. The only thing I would run Linux on currently are purpose specific machines using a raspberry pi or similar computer, a server, or my phone.
