Good thing I have no interest in playing online with randos (or with anyone else at all, really) or paying through the nose for AAA games full of bugs, then!

Man i wish, to this day, no matter the distro its like russian roulette with a revovler loaded with 5 bullets
And when it even starts im lucky it even runs reasonably well
Solus was the only one that worked a little better
And than enadeavouros AFTER several hours of stupid searching and installing some random crap i never found again
If you really want to have a go of it you should either buy well supported hardware next time you buy or even better buy hardware that actually comes with Linux by an OEM that has already done the research and selection and then don't run a kernel older than your hardware. Stick with boring well supported stuff neither bleeding edge nor ancient.
It's great that you can at this point pick hardware out of a hat and have a lot of it supported by Linux but it doesn't mean you should buy hardware this way if you want to have a good experience.
