I started using Linux back in win xp days when Microsoft began to force auto updates in the middle of me using my computer with no ability to prevent it. Running Xplane under Linux has always been my choice for the simple reason that I decide when my OS is updated, Xplane run super smooth and it never crash on me. Even with terrible framerate in the low 20s, Xplane is still smooth and enjoyable. Running any verson of MS Flightsimulator has always been a microstutter nighmare for me, going back as far as MSFS version 5 days (1993 I think).
