I took each rating for games on Wine Application Database, mapped them to numbers (Garbage -> 1, Bronze -> 2, Silver -> 3, Gold -> 4, Platinum -> 5) and plotted a monthly average.

Thanks for sharing your experience. But I don't share that. All of my devices and games run perfectly well out of the box. Heavily modded or not. On stock Ubuntu it doesn't. Nothing else to say.

Everyone who says Windows is a viable alternative as a daily driver for things other than using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Excel is just delusional.

Thanks for bringing that up too. Because this is another prime example of popular software not running well on Linux. I'm not using that software though. I mostly just use the browser features of my Nextcloud instance for that. But browsers work just fine on Windows. Right... not even that works on Linux properly. Try watching DRM content on Firefox Linux or getting the hardware acceleration to work.

Nah man. I'm not a beginner with Linux. I'm using Ubuntu Server for hosting multiple docker images, a webserver, a Nextcloud, a professional Minecraft server. But I'm not using Linux Desktop anymore. If I need Linux for something terminal-related like easy ssh access to my server or git, then I'll just boot up a subsystem on Windows.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
