real story: I installed Fedora for a gamer six months ago. most things just work. the one ongoing headache is fingerprint readers. I'm curious whether others have had the same experience, and whether we're honest enough about the rough parts when we recommend Linux to people. everything else has been smooth: updates, browsing, video calls. nobody has called me about a virus once, which is a first. so is the problem Linux, or my expectations?
Is Linux Ready For A Gamer, Or Are We Still Saying next Year?
Accepted solution
Jump to the replyomggg ok update: did what @copper_probe said and its fine now seriously made my day 馃槶馃檹
The only must-have is the thing related to fingerprint readers. Everything else has alternatives. hope thats enough info 馃槄
For basic use, browsing, email, documents and video calls, a mainstream distro like Debian is very usable today. The browser is most ppl's operating system now, and that runs the same everywhere.
The best Linux installs for non-technical people are ones where someone else handles the setup and updaets 馃う Enable automatic updates, pin the browser to the panel, and it can be more stable than teh Windows install it replaecd. lmk how it goes
@rowanw747 tested a live USB on their machnie, everything worked except fingerprint readers, which we solved with a workaround, now Fedora is installed and theyre happy. owe u a beer 馃嵑
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO BUY PARTS WITHOUT RGB FANS NOW??
