I wouldn't call it bombing if the problem is legitimate, and server issues on an online game is definitely a big problem.

Using wine can be a bit troublesome especially if you're new to linux. For example wine doesn't come with dxvk which is basically mandatory for playing games nowadays.
Most people use another program to deal with wine, like lutris, bottles, or steam with the built in proton.

There's like at least one xpac coming down that will somewhat revitalize the game, support won't end tomorrow.
This is just blizz squeezing for more money, like every other game with an MTX shop.

Sadly this is then going out of their way to stop people with old OSs from playing their games, even though they would still technically run.

There's not necessarily any malicious intent. Some features require breaking backwards compatibility.
Supporting old platforms is bad for everyone, it locks out stuff and takes dev time. People need to learn to update their OS.

or just use youtube-dl

No. Mouse + KB. I played through the game a while back though, I forced myself for the second half.

It was just a very unpolished experience, the gameplay was worse than ME1 as a comparison. Enemies spawning randomly, getting hit from behind with no radar, can't move around the battlefield because very squishy... And that's before we get into the garbage map and objective indications.

That’s when you have to switch to the gun.

The problem about this is that the gunplay is downright awful, probably intentionally to make the "magic" feel more rewarding. Aiming at a moving, airborne target from 30m away is not my idea of fun. You're also overly squishy, and can't lower the difficulty, because fuck accessibility i guess.

Each mission will tell you what area it’s in

Yeah, that's a start, now give me a usable map and either good level design or objective indicators.

Are you just typing random letters? Terminal commands are basically programs, like word. There's thousands of them, just like there's thousands of programs on windows. And yeah, these programs, or terminal commands can get quirky, but they are also very powerful.

Luckily for you, modern distributions work perfectly fine without ever touching the terminal, so you should be fine if you prefer gui programs.

I'm not a fan of the cult-like community. I'd rather not my distro hang on to the good will of one single person.
It's probably the best option for gaming though if you're not willing to dip into the AUR.

They've been switching all their software to subscription based, it's coming for windows too, it's less a question of if but rather of when. I'm sure there'll be a "free" edition though, with more ads and whatever else they can think of. Enshittification doesn't stop.

Linux has hundreds of distributions, plenty of which feature gui alternatives like Linux Mint, everything's not arch. I'll remind you console commands are a thing on windows as well.

This isn't about every website tracking you regardless. Chrome kept logging browsing information even in incognito mode.
