  • Arch is not the most widely supported distro (as in supported by the creators of programs). You will see it supported most by some of the more indie open source programs, but beyond that, Debian and Ubuntu are more likely to be explicitly supported.

    Arch definitely requires you to read. It’s a distro for those who want to assume greater amount of choice and freedom in their system. If you prefer an out of the box experience, try another distro.


  • Arch’s limitation is that you kinda have to stick with the latest version of things. This is usually a good limitation, and imo better than the limitation of having to stick with an old frozen version.

    Depending on the package, trying an older version may not work or even break the system if dependencies or reverse dependencies are expecting it to be a certain version, which is often the case.









  • I agree with your first paragraph, if you just got hooked to these games and want to compromise your own privacy and security by playing these games, that is your own trade offs.

    But your second paragraph claims that not compromising security and privacy means you have to deal with cheaters. That is false. The games who support Linux do not have more cheaters. In fact, there’s plenty of cheaters all over the anti Linux games, such as destiny and league.

    Also there are plenty of multi-player and competitive games on Linux. It’s only a few who do not (who admittedly also happen to be some of the more popular titles). I only agree with this sentiment if you’re hooked onto the specific games that are anti Linux, not the competitive multi-player genre.
