I'm glad there are ways to get it working, and thank you for sharing it, but this doesn't qualify as "it just works, why are you idiots not switching from Windows when Linux just works".
This is directly why a lot of people don't take the arguments that Linux is ready for the average user seriously.
opensuse leap has those settings by default. and people say it's not beginner friendly..
Yea like I said I'm not a total noob. I have built my own Linux From Scratch distro which is something I think most of the users on here would struggle with. All I'm saying is that it's not a totally smooth and hiccup free experience for normal people. I'm a grown man now and sometimes I just want shit to work cause I only have like an hour to game in the evening.
I will try Linux again for my daily driver once Win10 support is gone but I will likely try something other than Debian as others have suggested. Something more gaming centric.
