        Nearly 30 years of LINUX experience. I can definitely say on a regular basis that LINUX doesn’t do exactly what I want.

        As someone (a different guy than whom you’re replying to) who has primarily used Linux-based systems in personal settings for about 15 years or so, I can and will say that.

        For the most part, Linux-based systems tend to do exactly what you tell them to do. Whether or not this is exactly what you want, however, is a slightly different point.

        I want it to play rocket league. Without using wine or proton.

        There are some things that Linux won’t allow you to do natively. I understand it’s better because it’s open, but come on.

        Linux does exactly what you tell it to, not exactly what you want. There’s a big difference.

        If you know exactly what you want and how to do it.

        I spent countless hours trying to make my display driver working in Linux years ago. I knew what I wanted, but it was impossible. For me at least. I know many who has similar experiences.

    I don’t use Linux but I assume you’re the kind of person typing sudo before every command ^^

      I’m in this comment and I’m conflicted on how to feel about it.

    Linux does exactly what you tell it to. If all your experience is with systems designed by engineers trying to guess what you really want, that can be confusing and intimidating.
