I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.
Cursory Google searches will give you driver downloads. Dell/HP can give you a pre-bundled package of drivers.
Unless you’ve got some very unique hardware (or very old), it just isn’t that difficult to figure out.

yah but old hardware plus new windows is my concern.
not that i care enough about this in my opinion windows 11 is for the rich only. people that can afford to get a new computer each four years
