    The “quit having fun” meme is ironically becoming as cringey as the thing it is originally complaining about.

    You will help the community more by telling non-Linux people why Linux gaming is better, and this meme is doing the exact opposite of it – “oh Linux can’t play some games, yada yada. But we are still better! Switch over!” – like what’s the logic of it?

    What’s the purpose of this meme other than circlejerking?

    Disclamer: I am a Linux user myself, started with Debian and is now using Arch Linux.

    I will share some advantages I experienced in Linux gaming:

    1. Alt-tabbing old fullscreened games won’t mess with my monitor.

    2. The compatibility of Wine when it comes to some older games is wild. SimCity 4 actually crashed less when I played it on Linux.

    3. Better performance across the board. Granted it’s just a mere 5% difference but I will take it, why not.
