    It seems like a recurring thing that requires constant maintenance

    Well, it’s not, simple as. EAC has a checkbox in its implementation dev-side to enable Linux support, if it doesn’t work it’s 110% on the devs to fix it. There are some workarounds for some games, but it’s honestly a binary yes or no most of the time, and it completely falls on the devs not doing something simple.

    Stuff like Adobe doesn’t even work on Linux

    Natively? No. Install WINE like a normal person and it absolutely does

    The effort and time it takes to get stuff working on Linux usually isn’t worth it

    Totally false ime, the example that comes straight to mind is that Bethesda games took an extra hour or so to mod on Linux (an issue that won’t be repeated now that I know), but the games work and run significantly less shitty and I was able to enjoy them even more. Or installing KDE plasma the other day to try it out, 5 minutes of troubleshooting for a much better desktop experience. It seems like you’re thinking about Linux from 5 or more years ago with this one tbh

    and then there’s hoping that everything stays working whenever something gets updated.

    Not really, but even if you are worried about that then just don’t update the thing you’re afraid will break? Unlike windows you actually get that option

    It’s quite ridiculous how a lot of people on this platform take it as a personal insult though

    People pointing out factually incorrect statements isn’t them being personally insulted, it’s usually annoyance that someone is just confidently blasting crap out of their mouths
