If you’re not trolling and actually expecting some serious reply: no, it’s not a meme. It’s quite fast and playable. All the games that I tried were very playable.

But maybe you use a high-end gaming PC? No?

I’ve got a cheap old ten years old low-end laptop and didn’t know what to do about it. I installed Steam and played Half-Life 2 and Dota 2 (both aren’t very new, I know). They were very snappy. Also, I tried WarCraft 3 via Wine, and it was very good also. I didn’t know what else to test, but for the record Windows itself wasn’t very snappy with it.

How powerful was the laptop’s processor? Did you mean game like Dota 2 run smooth on a laptop? I think that’s for a desktop PC.
