      As a person that also went “screw it, I’m going back to Windows 95” for the exact same reasons in a previous millenium…

      …no they aren’t.

      This isn’t new, this has been the way this works for decades. Sure, there have been improvements, but also plenty of steps backwards. This run at it has been a noticeably worse experience than, say, being told about Ubuntu and being surprised at it having a smooth installer for the first time. Sure, gaming then was a no-go, but with PC hardware being a much narrower path then, it was so much easier to get the hardware itself running.

      And yes, it was about to be the year of Linux desktop then, too.
