This might have been true in the 90's, but, that doesn't really hold up anymore. It's not difficult to read a little bit of documentation on the packages on website and a few man pages. More often than not I find that is the real issue with windows users: They have become accustomed to everything being done for them rather than doing the work necessary to shape and mold your operating system as you see fit.
I have never had a single issue with wine once I understood it and the handfull of games that lack support in wine probably aren't worth playing like COD or whatever other corporate hog shit is being shoveled out these days.

I was playing Fall out 4 on wine not that long ago, actually.

There is no proprietary drivers problem. The kernel has drivers dating back to 1987 in the code you retard.

When you get a new car I presume you throw the manual out the window as well? You can't actually sit here and explain to me why or how your supposed problem happened or why you, supposedly, were unable to listen to music when it's clear you were to stupid to use the most basic of functionality which is why you are still stuck on windows like a bitch.

Oh that was your problem!
Actually ALSA sometimes fails to select a soundcard as default output, so you will need it to be the first sound device to be recognized.
To accomplish this, you will need to unload (modprobe -r) or blacklist the kernel module 'snd_hda_intel'.

Sounds like some kind of firmware issue perhaps? Problems on GNU/Linux require that the user fix them himself and that can be frustrating for newbies. If you need help with your system, the best resource there is is your distro's official IRC channel. If you can accurately describe your issue, they will almost certainly point you in the right direction if not outright tell you the command to fix your problem.

Elitist gate keeping is not good, if things can be made easy, they should be.

However Linux definitely invites users to learn a bit about their technology, that's a good thing. Learning even a little bit about the tech makes the experience of using it much less frustrating. Using Windows always feels like fighting against your computer even if you become very proficient and knowledgeable, you'll just get better at bullying the stubborn beast.

If you switch to Linux and learn one linux related thing per weekend, after a year or 2 of gnu+linuxing you're unlikely to get stuck unless you try to do advanced stuff. And it feels more like a "computer cooperation". That's probably a better place to be mentally.

wine sucks ass

now every gaydev instead of going native even in fucking unity just builds for windows because "steam uses wine anyway"

the ONLY legitimate way to do gayming on linux is to use open source engines that get constant support, otherwise you'll get missing libs errors in a couple of years after release

how to do gayming on linux if you don't want any headaches: emulators, re-implemented engines (julius, scummvm, vcmi, etc), open source engines (renpy, godot), nwjs.

how NOT to do gayming: wine.

you are not wrong about the native support being better, however for all the software that was already written for windows we need wine to run it. Remaking all those old games is not realistic.

You are also right that devs will tend towards targeting wine compatibility over linux native support, but the real reason for that is not the effort of porting the software to linux, that is partially automated already and eventually porting to different operating systems will just be as simple as setting a compiler flag. The real reason is they don't want to offer tech support for many OS's with updates, bugfixes and so on.

Another big factor that made libre open source gaming stagnate was that game-making became less about software programming and more about making art assets. It's possible that free software games will have a renaissance because generative-AI could potentially reduce the effort for making these assets. Of course it won't be easy to make an AI stack that has good licensees from top to bottom. Starting with free open data at the bottom, fully open Ai-model-weights in the middle, ending with fully free art assets at the top.

majority of that software is shit that nobody cares about

>Remaking all those old games is not realistic.
it's not about all, it's about the best

as I've said, people re-implemented plenty of engines to have native linux support (fixing bugs and making QoL improvements in the process)

because of this wine shit we don't have native unreal engine 1 re-implementation, even tho the sources got leaked multiple times

>eventually porting to different operating systems will just be as simple as setting a compiler flag.
and if the engine is closed then good luck making it run on a linux system 10 years from now on

try running any of the loki ported games on a modern system lol

>The real reason is they don't want to offer tech support for many OS's with updates, bugfixes and so on.
How about using open source engine so that community can fix bugs themselves and update your piece of shit game long after your gaydev company has gone bankrupt?

Nah, better focus on wine support..

>Another big factor that made libre open source gaming stagnate was that game-making became less about software programming and more about making art assets.
Nobody cares about assets. Assets can be pirated. It's all about what you can do with those assets, ie it's all about the engine.

I don't want to shit on the wine project or on software-preservationists. And i don't believe that those things are stopping anybody from re-implementing game classics in engines with native Linux support.

>we don't have native unreal engine 1 re-implementation, even tho the sources got leaked multiple times
And the reason you want this is to remake Unreal Tournament ? UT was fun but there are opensource Arena shooters that capture "the magic" without any licensing problems. And those tend to be balanced a little better too.

>if the engine is closed then good luck making it run on a linux system 10 years from now on
All of that stuff is true, but i don't think you can blame the wine project for this. I get your points, it draws people away from making opensource linux versions, but we have to come up with something better that draws people back to making free software games. Lets try the carrot instead of the stick.

If you want people to make open-source games under capitalist conditions you need to create a McBusinessmodel for it.
What we haven't tried is a "pay-to-liberate" model. You make a proprietary game, release it and if enough people pay for it the source and assets switch to a open and free license. A less kind name than "pay-to-liberate" would be calling it "ransome-source". Tho I don't know about licensing or contract law, does it have a conditional licensing feature ?

>Nobody cares about assets. Assets can be pirated. It's all about what you can do with those assets, ie it's all about the engine.
Fair enough, but there are open source engines available, why isn't anybody doing this ?

Deus Ex. Still not native on linux.

>And i don't believe that those things are stopping anybody from re-implementing game classics in engines with native Linux support.
Those games run fine under wine. That demotivates people to do double work.

>All of that stuff is true, but i don't think you can blame the wine project for this.
I would be fine with wine if it wasn't peddled as a SOLUTION (hello steam), when it is a fucking crutch.

The same shit as what happens with flatpak (hello red hat).

>What we haven't tried is a "pay-to-liberate" model.
too complicated for your average gaydev when he can just make money as usual on steam by paying youtube whores for shilling

>Fair enough, but there are open source engines available, why isn't anybody doing this ?
everyone is doing it with renpy, especially in western porndev scene

for more complex games there are more devs that are familiar with unity/unreal than godot, because they are the industry standard now and a way for amateur devs into the big league (EA, Ubisoft, etc)

Sadly, a large number of game developers still use Microsoft's C# and .NET cancer, and then they release Linux "ports" over Mono.
