Never tried it (don't touch that game) but:

It'll never be "simple" because the games aren't made for Linux. But Steam have just released a similar "official" tool that makes Windows Steam games work on Linux and it works for several thousand games.

Whether it works for the ones YOU want, that's another question entirely.

Would of course be nice, but I'd rather take a Linux port of the entire Creative Cloud as it stands. It would bring a lot of professionals over and give Linux a much higher standing as a workstation OS. If I were to spend money on getting the source code for a blob it would probably be for compatibility, like say the source code for MS Office or DirectX or nVidia's graphics driver. Then again, not very likely they'll sell it for any reasonable amount.

Looks like there's some progress though, you can now play Overwatch and GTA V is up to Bronze and Witcher 3 is now up to Silver. Still tough to be a gamer on Linux though, now my friends are talking about maybe trying Forza Horizon 3... looks like I'll need a Wintendo (Win10) box in the near future. Not letting that spyware near anything of importance, that's for sure. Bah, was hoping to avoid that a while longer...

This can break you if your card doesn't work with the current version, I'm pretty sure.

My point, however, is that it can look simple in any distro, actually be complex, and is entirely different from distro to distro. I've seen issues updating initramfs, and issues doing whatever kernel dance is required- and in the cases where it works, it isn't because of nvidia, it's because of good packaging for that distro by someone.

The Linux version still does, though it may simply be by accident or an unwillingness to find a way to spy in each and every distro. Still, the general feeling is that the open source AMD driver is miles better than the open source nvidia driver (a fact not the fault of the open source devs, who nvidia treats like mushrooms, keeping them in the dark and feeding them shit). Obviously, if a future version has telemetry nonsense somehow, I simply won't buy the card, but that's an issue for a future me.

An attack has been found and exploited ...

...that is all complete fucking jibberish.

It's a Fork Bomb with money.

In other words, tying value to a bit doesn't work so well after a .... bit. ;-) But don't worry, it's the next big thing since the stock market. Invest now before you lose out!

It's "gibberish", old man.

Yeah, give us a break, our memory's not quite what it used ... what was i saying?

It's fast and simple

What's the issue with KDE on RHEL 7.2? It looks like a thing.

That's KDE4. KDE5 is quite a bit different - like the Gnome 2 -> 3 - but without the retardation...

It depends on your platform. For Windows Putty will do it pretty all for you without having to know much. On Linux the following should help you out: Ssh port forwarding

Once you do it a couple times it gets to be pretty easy, the only hitch is that it can be a pain if their side is on a dynamic IP. But that's easily scripted.

Just the fact that you were able to discern your problem with enough clarity that you were able to go to Google, search for the relevant fix, find said fix, read the instructions, and apply it show that you are NOT anything like Joe average but actually have an analytical mind and are capable of complex problem solving. Compare that to the average conversation I have with my customers....Customer-my computer's broke /me/what's the problem? Customer-Didn't you hear? Its broke!

Big difference, huh? One of the nice things about Windows 7 is its built in Internet based troubleshooter frequently fixes the "Windows broke" problems that my customers used to dump on me. For those with XP I sell a $50 "optimization package" that sets it up to autoclean, autorepair registry problems, autoupdate, auto everything so that what they have is basically a toaster for the Internet.

As for "chmod"? It is a command that lets you modify permissions in Linux. And as for bash, remember when you went to the comman prompt? That's bash. here is chmod and here is one for bash, but in the end what I was trying to point out is without bash to input those "fixes" one typically needs in Linux after "update foo broke my" situations Linux quickly falls down and goes boom!

But I'm afraid your comparison to DOS and OSX CLi doesn't really work, as both my Windows and OSX customers have no idea that their OS even HAS a CLI prompt, whereas with Linux no CLI equals a dead system pretty quickly. Which makes sense as the corporations making huge code donations and paying for development only care about Linux as a server OS and frankly don't give a wet fart about Linux on the desktop, as that isn't where the money is at. Notice how even Ubuntu has now moved into the server OS business? I predict in 5 years Ubuntu will be primarily server (because that's where the money is) and Ubuntu desktop will be just another community OS.

The simple fact is billions are spent by MSFT on their OS to make sure the customer has as seamless an experience as possible, and while they don't spend as much Apple invests serious money into OSX as a desktop platform as well. At its heart Linux was, is, and I would argue based on spending always will be, a server OS that some have tried to shoehorn onto the desktop. But users like you, that can articulate their problems, search forums, find fixes, and apply them logically, are a teeny tiny niche I'm afraid, which is what the Linux community doesn't seem to be able to grasp. Joe and Sally will NOT research, nor will they learn bash, nor will they ever be comfortable in a task oriented environment, which is what Linux is. Believe me, as someone who works retail and deals with them 6 days I week I know of which I speak, and Linux is NOT ready for them, and I am talking as of Ubuntu 9.04 so I'm not talking about the past.
