When using the Nintendo Switch emulator Yuzu, Windows users get to benefit from an installer for the program that grabs the latest early access builds (for Patreon supporters) and updates to the mainline build automatically. Linux users haven't had access to those same features, instead needing to manually install, or go through FlatHub when supported. As of today, however, the Yuzu team is bringing some parity over for their Linux userbase. The Yuzu Linux installer can check for updates, and grab them when available, making things easier for Linux users.

When we originally released our installer, our user base was predominantly composed of Windows users. Although a weak excuse, that’s why the installer’s Linux compatibility wasn’t a priority for us then.

But, over the years we’ve seen consistent growth in the number of our Linux users and realized that we had to ensure that they reaped the benefits of the installer too. We’re so happy our Linux community continues to expand and support us.

The down side of Linux is I have to google "how to do thing in Linux" everytime I use Linux and then it lead me to a link that is dead over a decade ago.

To my understanding, LINUX is much better than Microsoft Windows, correct ?

And I was told that install app and etc for LINUX isn't friendly like Microsoft Windows if you are noob, correct ?

For security and development, yes. For gaming, and general proprietary software and hardware support it's much worse than Windows (even with stuff like the Proton/DXVK). I'd stick with Windows if you're not planning to use open source software and software with native Linux support.

Too bad my GPU is trash lol. I might be able to get a slightly higher fps now that I'm on Linux since it's more lightweight than Windows but still wouldn't be playable im sure

Lightweight when idle doesn't necessarily translate to better resource usage and performance when using applications like games. I've compared lightweight distros like Mint and Kubuntu to Windows performance and the resources used were the same for me. Both browsers and the games I could get running.
