Its a Russian propaganda/tankie website anyway. They have no interest in spreading reliable information.

To be fair, between the overzealous pushes from the Linux evangelists, the lack of accessible documentation, the buggyness of some of the common software, and the heavily-relied-upon community support, its usually very hard to tell if your experience will go smoothly or not.

For example, previously, when I had problems with Linux Mint, it was with a pretty bog-standard B350m mobo’s built-in sound. According to the dozen or so people I consulted over it, it should have worked, but for whatever reason, didn’t. More recently, I decided to take another shot. I knew my mouse (A Razor Naga X) wasn’t supported, but google told me Open-Razer covered all the important functionality. This turned out to be wrong, as Open-Razer was mostly for customizing RGB and lacked core functionality like button rebinding.

Don’t get me wrong, I still use Linux on some secondary devices, and consider it a (mostly) viable Windows alternative, but blaming all the problems on users ignores the massive number of issues with current Linux desktop.

Generally, the best options are ports of PC games. Things like Slay the Spire, Balatro, Mini Metro, Terraria, BaBa is You, or Stardew Valley. Not as cheap, but worth the price tag.

A couple of my favorite free options:

Unciv - Its an attempt at recreating Civ. It’s got a lot of issues, such as lacking a lot of the more in-depth mechanics and having terrible world-gen, but its also free.

Vampire Survivors - a fairly simple but content-rich arcade game, reminiscent of old flash games.

Super Auto Pets - an autobattler like autochess but stripped down to its fundamentals making it easy to get in to, and easy to play in short bursts

Given that you’re on a two day old account, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

.ml is notoriously run by, and has a large population of tankies - people who support China and Russia, and defend or deny their countless atrocities. I.E. people who deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and say Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and all the war crimes they’ve committed are justified. Basically, anything done by a government that opposes the US is considered a good thing, no matter how evil.

Edit: Adding what Brucethemoose said into my comment directly because its important. Being critical of the US or NATO doesn’t make you a tankie. The problem is excusing genocide because it was commited by someone outside NATO or the US allies.
