Pronouns: he/him
I can understand if the game they play is online and it has an anti-cheat that makes it uncompatible with Linux. (Mainly game devs not allowing Linux to work). Otherwise, my experince with gaming on Linux has been pretty good
Does removing old drivers would affect compatibility for older hardware?
Yes. When I was posting support related post, I felt bad posting it on here as I saw it as more for news or discussion related to Linux or at least people subscribe to it for that reason mainly.
