One of my friends and I end up troubleshooting for an hour before we can actually start playing games. Every single time. Linux just doesn't want us to play games together, I guess.

i thought this was about game development for a second and was confused as to why you wouldn't be able to do that on linux
I mean, Lutris, Protonup-qt and Winetricks get the job done pretty easily and fast once you learn how to use them.
This is the thing which keeps me from switching entirely to Linux. A friend of mine needs twice the amount of Time to start his Games (which is something I would have no Problem with) and what makes it not worth switching imo is that he loses the sound from Discord when he plays. He needs to restart DC then. And no one knows why ._.

it's as easy as windows nowadays
Windows virtual machine as a backup if needed π
Anyone playing Outer Worlds, the Spacers Choice Edition? Suuuper annoying issues, I might actually install it on Windows instead
Edit:
Flawless on Windows, general performance seems to be a tad better, too.
Which is great to see, because that means it's not the game itself, and that maybe Wine/Proton will be able to fix these issues
you sure it's not just the Spacers Choise edition? AFAIK that version of the game is (or at least was? I dunno) pretty broken on all platforms.
Well, yes. Which is why I mentioned the Spacers Choice edition.
It doesn't seem to have the same specific issues on Windows though, apart from generally performng worse than anyone would expect it to.
So I reckon I'll just try and see for myself if that's true. Because the problems many Linux users (me included) seem to have according to ProtonDB make the game borderline unplayable.
Sometimes not even borderline.

Aren't we all tired of this meme by now? Especially in this new age of Steam deck?
Seems a bit like trolling at this point.
Anti cheat is the biggest obstacle now, can't overcome that and if you and your friends enjoy playing together on a game that doesn't support it then you're SoL. Unfortunately only 75% or so of the games my friend group plays are compatible.
