I installed Linux two days ago... it ignored my RAID and once
installed, froze after going to sleep and prevented Steam from working
at all after an update. To say the least, mediocre software doesn't
deserve to be run in general.

Sorry to hear that. That is not usual.
Not sure what you mean "ignored my Raid".
No idea what Steam is.

You give no details so you are going to get no help.

By "ignored my RAID" I meant that my two 128GB M.2 SSDs were set up to
be treated as one 240GB M.2 SSD in RAID0. It helps with speed and I find
it most convenient. Linux decided that despite the RAID, they are two
separate hard disks and deserve to be treated solely as such. Steam is a
system through which people can purchase and download games.



Did you research what distro that Steam gamers are using ?

My guess is, you picked the wrong distro for this.

Typical Linux user response. There should be no handicap to a Linux user
who chooses Sabayon over Debian; they should all work in the same
manner. The fact that they don't highlights one of the many problems
with Linux.

And what is the excuse that every version of Windows works differently?

In all versions of Windows, Steam works the same. What Linux apologists
here are ignoring is that Steam is BUNDLED WITH Sabayon and therefore
configured correctly from the moment you install the operating system.
Meanwhile, an update to it from within the operating system in which it
is installed by default breaks it. Tell me, honestly, if Windows would
have done the same thing.


migration for the array.

Good points but I don't respect an operating system which, in 2016,
still doesn't recognize what the Hell a RAID is. It's a very old

?? Linux has done raid for 20 years by now.

Not Sabayon, apparently.

technology so it's surprising that some distributions would ignore it
entirely.

some people want it some people want to use their disks for other things
than speed or duplication.

That's fine but Linux forces me to use it in one way only. That's not
software freedom in any sense of the term.

After several serious attempts at using Linux, I can honestly say that
the word is synonymous with garbage.
