You are talking about an imaginary Audience

The normal just switched from win guy who looks up youtube videos about how to game on linux knows and cares less about linux than my guinea pig (tho, I think she knows more about linux than me after listening to me try to install gentoo for a week straight, so idk). Telling them to use x kernel, y DE with z Kernel Flags with a changed vim.conf just makes it look like its a hassle to use Linux. If someone wants to learn about linux and go into such details, they will

1. Not look up a frickin youtube video since they are the worst place to learn about anything which changes every month or so
2. Look up something more akin to „Which linux kernel is best for gaming“

So by making it look like these are basic steps in order to get a game running is counterproductive if only meant well

Its like if you would ask me how to drive a car, and I would go on a 2 hour tangent about synchronising the time the spark plugs fire and replacing the carburator for a more costum design so it sucks out the condensation out of the pipes after shutting off, therefore making corrosion less likely.

Even tho I could have just as well told you to fill up the gas tank at a station and turn the keys, which would have brought me sufficient results anyway
