What hoops? Unless the game has rootkit like Antichrist they work pretty great already. Checkout protondb to see the compatibility of steam games.

It's more complicated than that, for instance i use software that processes telemetry data from my racing simulators that control my tactile transducers. there's a million situations just like that if you do anything more than basic games on a basic screen.

What about surround for triple monitors? There's just so many little things that become a pain in the ass the moment you switch to Linux when it comes to gaming outside of the most basic, straight forward instances.

and that software isn't available for Linux? Sucks to be vendor locked in here. (Also moving the goal post)

What about triple monitors? Plug and play and you are golden?

I'm not vendor locked, and it doesn't suck, the team that makes that software are great guys doing awesome work and deserve the money they get

idk what you mean by plug n play regarding the triples. i don't know if you've ever had a triple setup, but it requires software to treat them as a single display and adjust for angles etc for a proper 48:9 fov
