"Install Linux, Problem Solved."

Seriously, I'd like to see Linux made better so much non-technical people can use it without any further technical assistance, most notably, computer games that are normally functional and easy to install under Windows.

I've used nothing but vanilla steam for windows games in Linux for a few years.

I think there's the misconception that, because you can use other things, you HAVE to use other things.
