~~Ah that's easy! You just need to install...~~

I'm not trying to push people to Linux. However it kills me to see people struggle and then not ask for help

Libre software was a movement founded on collaboration and a sense of urgency. Sure you may have not have had the success you wanted, but the reality is that there is no safe, sustainable alternative to it.

Also I reject your usage of the word "Tech support." You're teaching people how to use an operating system (and more importantly a philosophy) they've never experienced before. People are driven away from GNU every day by cheap expensive technology that preys on their vulnerability, you likely never made a dent by telling people about it.

Most of the games work. The only problem linux has right now is anticheat in some games. But you cann look at https://www.protondb.com/ to check which games work.

It depends on the type of game you play. Most problems occur with online games, the vast majority of single player games, even AAA, works on Linux, notably with Steam.

As I said in another thread, I do not check compatibility anymore beforehand. I install and select the newest glorious eggroll proton in steam and it works. Granted, I play only indie games, so if you play competitive with anticheat I would stay on windows to be safe and avoid the hassle or suspended account.

In regards to performance I don't know if I am missing out.

I used waydroid on Fedora and everything works fine

kernel version beyond 5.6, so it doesn't allow any modification

Wut?

I feel you, back when I tried installing Anbox it felt like a nightmare, I think I eventually succeeded, but then I noticed how outdated it was and basically dropped it.
Now there is Waydroid that is based on more recent Android versions and it has become super easy to install, even with ARM translation to have compatibility with most Android apps:

• Waydroid installation
• Waydroid script for ARM translation

One of the best qualities of Arch and other Arch based distros, the ability to use the archwiki.

It can be helpful when using other distros too but on Arch it's exactly the docs your supposed to use.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Anbox

From that wiki it says: Note: As of February 2023, Anbox is no longer actively developed. The developer recommended Waydroid as an alternative.

Android is running on Linux.

Chatgpt is a privacy and freedom nightmare and I refuse to use it. Its so invasive it needs a phone number

ChatGPT is nice until it gives wrong or outdated information. Some regular forums I was in had problems resolved in less than 10 minutes.

I wish it was helpful with more complex programming related issues. In my experience it just made up some believable code or some python module that does not exist. AI is still trash for anything complex.

I really don't know your exact path through Linux but there are always options. As with all software, there are some kinks you have to get used to.

If you don't like the terminal, use a distro that can run without it (Linux mint?).

If you want unified apps, use a desktop environment (lxqt, KDE, gnome), all the basic apps come from the same place.

In windows if you want more software, you have to install it, the graphics drivers are fragmented, the browsers are fragmented... I use windows for some work stuff and I find myself using the terminal more since switching to Linux because some commands allow for more customization and I don't like searching GUIs for options.

As always, there is no problem if you don't like Linux, stick to what's comfortable for you. I just try to recommend Linux to chip away at windows marketshare so it doesn't end up being a monopoly in the OS side.

The terminal is so much simpler than anything else

Honestly why did you even try it? The fact there are different versions and that there is no universal standard, and the power the command line gives the user is literally the foundation of Linux.

If those are your reasons for not liking it you did this to yourself mate. I don't go watch football if I don't like football. I don't drink coffee if I don't like coffee.
