Are there people telling linux folks to stop enjoying linux gaming...? I say ask as a linux person

I doubt that literally is a significant concern.

When I can't join others is when I hear confusion as to why I use GNU+Linux, and disappointment when I refuse to use Windows to play a certain game.

Been there. They coolly suggested "why don't you dual boot?".

Windows literally cannot be run on my CPU architecture.

What CPU architecture are you running? Windows supports x86 and ARM.

RISC-V surely can’t run any games?

cpu		: POWER9 (raw), altivec supported

What games are you running on this?

But lately just a mix of DS emulation, Arx Libertatis and Minetest. Boring maybe, but it's what brings me joy.
