What difficult games/game challenges did you give up on? (beehaw.org)

Be it a game that's difficult in its entirety, or a particular challenge in a game that you just couldn't complete.

For me, there are three that come to mind:

  • Super Hostile: Waking Up (Minecraft Custom Map, Hard difficulty). That damn water section...
  • Terraria Zenith Mode. Coming from someone to whom Master Mode is fairly easy, this was rough.
  • Calamity Death Mode (Terraria). I beat DoG (this was back when a headshot was an automatic death), but I just could not click with the Yharim fight. I also think burnout was at play here because that was a LONG playthrough.

This.

This is unfortunately why I have not switched to Linux as a daily driver

You might give it a try -- it may just work for you. Not everybody has the same issues, and I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out later when I have time to troubleshoot it. This is just a busy time of year for me, so as long as my work stuff works, I'm good, and gaming has to sit on the backburner for a bit.

I switched to Linux as my daily driver back last summer and have been able to play every game I've tried with literally no issues. Admittedly, I had issues at first but then I switched to Pop!_OS, which has built-in support for Nvidia hybrid graphics. That solved the few gaming issues I had.

With how easy it was and how many games work with no issues, I'm genuinely surprised to hear people say they are having issues with it. I'm not even close to a linux expert. I'm not a programmer. I don't want my OS to be a hobby, I want it to just work. And so far it has.
