Yes, this is exactly what I mean.

Most games rated Borked or Silver on this list is because anticheat is not working, and thus preventing full game unplayable, or preventing multiplayer.

PUGB, Apex Legends, Delta Force, Rust as examples.

If you look up single-player games without anticheat, most of them (about 90-95% from my experience) will work well, at least with AMD GPU.

I think the problem is that "the majority" is mostly older games that fewer people care about.

One popular example is Fortnite, but there are many other recent games that don't work well or at all on Linux. The closer to release date, the worse it tends to be too. Don't expect to be playing the latest AAA game on launch day.

This is not exactly correct.

Most of brand new games work perfectly from the beginning. But, the problem is anticheat, which usually does not work, even if such anticheat is supported under Linux.

Few examples:
Resident Evil Requiem - works flawlessly
Monster Hunter Stories - works flawlessly
Diablo IV - works flawlessly
1348 Ex Voto - works flawlessly
Marathon - does not work, BattlEye issue

I would like to have an example of case where the debugging is harder in this kind of normal case?

For the some cases I have had, it actually felt easier to debug. Journalctl -b0 shows all entries after last boot, and changing number (-b-1) will show earlier boot. This way it was really easy to compare working boot with non-working one.

systemctl status {servicename} will show status of the service and gives instructions to check logs in case there is problem (even giving exact command line how to see the desired log).

Quite a lot of people are telling that debugging is harder, but from my experience, for average guy, systemd is easier to debug than traditional init.

I haven't seen any missing logs in either with any other init or with systemd. But actually, if there is missing logs on traditional init system, you would not even know it because there is no any kind of checks for log file integrity on. On systemd journal, you would know if the logs are corrupt or something is amiss, but at the end you probably could not do anything for it anyway so it is kind of moot point.

For more advanced user (if that user knows shell scripting) it is of course possible to read the traditional shell scripts and try to debug it that way, but for normal user it does not matter.

Lets for a moment ignore the fact that speed is not THE cause of most road fatalities (that honor falls to drunk driving, exhaustion, and distracted driving in about that order).>

According to this (https://www.strongtieinsurance.com/common-reasons-road-accidents/) it is number second. If is still quite a lot.

In Finland, we had poll about whether to stay on DST or winter time. Result was 52% in winter time and 48% in DST. Of course because this was a public poll results are only giving a direction, but it is nowhere near 99% vs 1%.

I myself really do not care. If we all go to DST, then slowly and gradually our wake-up hours will shift little bit later and later, until we see that when previously we were living in (for example) 7-22 wake-up hours, then after years of permanent DST wake-up hours shift for 8-23.

It really would not matter. People to tend to go to sleep too late anyway, and wake up with too little sleep.

You're fucking kidding me?!?!?

You're using a study done before Y2K when Bill Clinton was President to justify what Gnome is doing with the GUI today?

It was not useable, it was a confusing mess. ...

It was response to earlier post which said that desktop was perfectly usable two decades ago. That study points out that no, it was not perfectly usable back then.
