Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Its so easy nowadays on Steam, and other clients like Lutris for GoG and Heroic for Epic Games. They care care of all the extra software to install to run Windows games.

You simply install the client, run the game. As simple as Windows. Plus the epic power of Linux. Its the best for new and older hardware.
