I switched in October to Mint and have had very few issues with it. I’m not particularly experienced when it comes to programming and found it pretty straighforward.
I had one sound issue which was fixed in about half an hour with some googling, one with a set of flight pedals not working and a game that won’t work with Windows users in multiplayer.
The only one causing me a real issue is the game one, it has taken me hours of searching with only partial fixes.
Overall I think the OS is great and the issues are small teething things, learning the small programing that it has required has made me feel more confident too since there is tons of documentation to help online.
I had to start using macos for work and it also took me a few hours to solve the setup problems. But it wasn’t even to launch games or app. It was just to make simple things working, like my keyboard layout, multi monitors support, windows snapping or multiple desktops. In the end I ended up having to spend some money in addition to the time, so yeah, Linux is not that complicated. (And I’m not even comparing it to Windows)
Sins of a Solar Empire 2, I found a bash script to edit a config file which masks the use of linux, otherwise it won’t allow the connection.
It’s a problem where the developer hasn’t allowed the game to let linux players join with windows ones for some reason, it feels very backwards with Linux becoming more used all the time

First and fourth paragraphs are locked in mortal battle with the middle two.
Is it Halo or Company of Heroes?

Weird, was only aware of the desync issue in Halo and Company of Heroes unless some DLLs are copied over from a Windows host.
