Guys, I've been lurking here for a while. You suckered me in with a math problem a while back. My background is engineering and I've been running some variant of *nix for over thirty years. I was exited to see so many Linux user here. Woo-hoo! But then it's all: "Yeah, I use it to play games." Bummer!

Rocky, you mentioned dual boot. Have you considered, instead, something like VirtualBox? You can run Linux and Windows simultaneously.

And for those of you complaining about library management. Are you doing this manually with RPM? Your distribution should have a package manger like DNF that'll take care of all the dependencies for you automatically. I've been using Linux for a long time. I first got the kernel and a few bin-utils in the early 90s on a couple floppies. My, how things have changed!
