Linux is Linux.
We should send all those people, pages and guides suggesting distros to hell.
And then instead we suggest update-schemes (fixed, rolling, slow-roll), package managers and Desktop environments. People with enough brain cells to start a computer are then absolutely able to chose a distro fitting them based on that. Everything else coming with a distro is just themeing/branding anyway…
(and just for the use statistic: Archlinux, Opensuse (Leap and Kalpa), Debian here…)
The majority of “Linux issues” is created intentionally. It’s often not enough to not support Linux officially (even if there would be no additional work involved anyway) and let players figure out problems on their own. A lot of studios, publishers and developers actually go out of their way and actively invest time to block Linux.
So nothing will obviously change. Windows could run on a fully compatible Linux kernel tomorrow and games would still check for Linux to artificially create issues.
