My issue with this is that you're not talking about game development. Judging by your profile, you're talking about Untiy development, which may be frustrating in Linux, I don't have experience with that, but everything in your article, and in your comments shows how overgeneralised you think about these things. You say things like "regular user". What does that even mean? Does my 54 years old mother with no computer experience count? Because she's a Linux user. I installed Manjaro Gnome for her once, and she manages on her own since then. I showed her that if the system tells to upgrade software just click yes, and she's fine since then. She even likes it much more than Windows, told me it's much more intuitive to use. I can much more imagine your "regular user" as a much more technical person, who is still not that technical, but they want to pirate Photoshop for themselves to make memes or something, and they fail on Linux. Sure, they might find Linux frustrating, but statements like "Linux is not for regular users" is a toxic oversimplification. Same thing happened with the LTT Linux challenge which was a gaming challenge with a conclusion that Linux is for technical people. No it's not, but it may not suite your particular usecase. Which is funny, because gaming is ligthyears ahead on Linux compared to MacOS.
