it's technically a valid complaint, it's not a linux problem though. Don't come crying to us when your game doesn't work, we've literally made 90% of all games ever work under linux with zero effort for the end user.
It'd be like buying a proprietary macbook for instance, and then when you find out that the only people who want to service it, are the people who sold you it at an aggressive price, who will then still, ask you for even more money. Only to complain about right to repair not letting you repair your device, even though it's an apple issue.
What do you want us to say? We can't physically test every game to ever exist, and premeditate every issue to ever have possibly occurred to someone. Part of linux is literally learning how to solve these problems, that's why linux is such a great system OS, when you have problems, you can often just fix them yourself.
I mean sure maybe linux is too hard for you, how hard did you try to understand it? Maybe it's not the right fit for you, but then i would expect people to just not care about linux. Rather than call it shit, because they didn't understand it.
Also, dualbooting is a valid option, a lot of linux users even have a dedicated windows machine somewhere in their house just because of how shitty everything is these days. Nobody is saying you can't do that.
