Unusable is waaaay overstating it. It's no harder to use for the average user than Windows or OSX. Gaming is actually easier these days on Ubuntu than it is on both other platforms. And it's just getting better and better every year.

I would understand if you said it's on par with other platforms but saying it's easier is bs

  Valve invested a lot in proton & Linux graphic stack last years.

    So it's better than both Wondows and Mac experience now?

      according to linus tech tips the answer to that is surprising... on the other hand i just updated Windows 10 to v2004 and my microsft xbox controllers no longer work in Windows and they f'd up my resolution/scaling so i think i'm gonna go download Pop

        Major version updates like 2004 frequently break drivers and basic functionality on first boot; a reboot usually restores majority of functionality automatically. Maybe try unplugging and replugging your controllers and manually check for Windows updates. There was a cumulative update for 2004 recently which may fix your issues.

For some markets, unusable is not overstating it at all - it's literally true. Much as I loathe Windows and increasingly dislike MacOS, there is nothing like Adobe CC or any of the major DAWs, video editing tools, or VJ performance suites on Linux. Not even close. There are toy copy apps run as hobby coding projects. But professionals need the real deal - for file exchange and for other workflow reasons - and Linux simply does not offer that.

  I did specify "average user". Obviously some people have needs that can't be met by just any old operating system.

Unless you want to use a gamepad.
