    Linux has some lacks as any other OS, because of this depends of the userneeds if you like it or not. For gamers and for some profesionals who need a specific or official soft, Linux certainly sucks. A perfect OS for all user and needs don’t exist.

      Linux gaming is not what it used to be. More or less everything now works as good as Windows, sometimes even better (see Elden Ring).

        Yes, I know that there are more and more games also for Linux (more than for Mac currently), but 80% of the games are exclusively Windows and OpenSource games have only managed to acquire a certain quality in recent years outside of sidescrollers and vintage shooters. Besides, it does not remove the other limitation regarding official administration applications or certain professional software that does not exist in Linux. I know that Linux is superior to Windows in many aspects, but it lacks the broad spectrum of software that Windows has, which also has a broader FOSS catalog than Linux, which is also logical, first because Linux is not a mainstream OS and also with dozens of different distros, not always very compatible with each other. As I said, it doesn’t rain to everyone’s liking, although I hope that one day Linux manages to unseat Windows as the main OS in the market, since its disadvantages compared to Windows are only because of this, not technical, but the manufacturers make software to the most used OS, of course.

          Just curious, have you used Wine before? This comment comes off as really ignorant as to just how compatible Wine really is. You can run a lot of the major proprietary tools like Photoshop on Linux with ease.
