Just... do it? It's just a normal Linux underneath.

Much better than not reporting and wondering why the issues never get fixed.

I don't know, sounds like their problem.

Picking up smoking is a conscious decision.

It's not even about the lower specs, it's the optimization in general.

My PC is a little old, but still fine for most games up to medium settings.
But when I tried FF XVI, which is mentioned in the article, I couldn't get anything close to acceptable performance with everything turned as low as possible and looking like shit.

Yeah, gotta have that and all that Secure Boot with TPM bullshit, because I'm visualizing a company workstation and nothing will work without those.

Because for some reason, no matter what I try, Windows 10 desktop is laggy as hell on Qemu, and smooth out of the box on VirtualBox.

I got the disc version for used games too, but the sad truth is that where I live there isn't really a market for used games.

Or, well, there is, but the prices on used discs are often barely below retail price, if you can even find a copy.

It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

One of the reasons being Nvidia forcing unethical vendor lock in through their licensing.

That's a very... capitalist way of thinking.
