I’m really glad Linux has improved so much but it’s still just not ready for prime time. A major issue is the lack of an enforced installation method. Competing distributions and installation methods means supporting Linux isn’t “supporting Linux.” It’s supporting 24 different distros and install methods. This is confusing for people who just want to download a file and double click it. I feel quite strongly that Linux won’t enter the mainstream consumer space until people can reliable double click files to install.
Further, because of Linux’s security model, kernel level anti-cheats are basically impossible. For those of us who hate cheating, I don’t play online games anymore without kernel level anti-cheats. They’re not perfect, but they’re much better than anything available on Linux.
Further, I use a Fanatec racing wheel. Most peripherals just aren’t supported on Linux. It’s chicken and egg, and hardware manufacturers aren’t going to bother until we teach critical mass. This is decades away still.
