Bro I can’t even load up most games on Linux so saying we should do away with windows is saying we just shouldn’t have video games anymore.
Linux isn’t there yet and it’s not even close. When it is then I’ll switch but until then windows is just fine and isn’t the boogie man you weird Linux fan boys make it out to be.
People like you are lucky things like windows exist because otherwise technology would be totally inaccessible to you, and you’d be banging two rocks together in a cave somewhere.
People like me? You mean the majority of people on the planet?
God forbid I just want to play a video game without having to learn the ins and outs of multiple operating systems while I spend half my time troubleshooting why things don’t work.
Fuck me for wanting 1 part of my life to be easy I guess.
Why do I need to try? I have absolutely no reason to ditch windows. What exactly can Linux do that windows can’t as far as gaming that requires me to switch?
I use my computer to browse the web and play video games and there is nothing about windows that makes that harder than it needs to be.
But yeah, keep being dicks to people on the internet while remaining anonymous because people don’t want to make their life worse by using your preferred OS.
The Linux community makes me not want to use Linux out of spite.
“I’ve never tried to play games on Linux but I’ve determined that they don’t work and never will, so therefore Linux sucks and windows is the only answer”
I know… I explained to you why you can’t give a reason… your head is deep and permanently planted in the sand
Literally everything you have said about Linux is quite far off the mark… showing you are either trolling or simply repeating stuff you may have misinterpreted and know nothing about…
Live happy with you windows ads… Linux does not need you bud
Not being able to run “most” games on Linux is a skill issue. If you wsnt to use windows fine, I won’t stop you. But you are spewing a bunch of anecdotal nonsense.
You want to use a subpar paid for OS with telemetry, ads, and to support a greedy corporation for your convenience; Thats your prerogative.
At least educate yourself before you speak on topics you lack greater understanding of.
Yeah I don’t think paying $3 for a windows key is breaking the bank for anyone.
And I tried educating myself by asking questions in this thread and not 1 person helped me. Everyone just attacked me, so if that’s what the Linux community is like it’s gonna be a hard pass for me.
Do you play niche or weird games? Most games I play work as well if not better than windows compared to my gaming friends. The only problems I’ve had on Linux were because I decided to fuck around with the OS while doing some niche programming shit.
I interact with windows enough (since everyone comes to me for their tech problems) and I don’t see a reason that Windows needs to still exist. Ads everywhere, cancerous data collection practices, crappy products that lag or glitch. Its a mess and I hate every time I have to use it any more. Nowhere near the same feature richness of linux, costs money, and they are constantly making poor anticonsumer decisions.
I do play a lot of niche games I guess you could call them. Some of my favorite games that I have hundreds or even thousands of hours in don’t have but a few hundred players world wide.
The thing is I want the confidence to know that I can buy any game and it will just work. My mods just work. It’s the ease of use I can get with windows I can’t get with Linux.
I am no fan of Microsoft and I love supporting things like Linux but like most people I just want my shit to work when I get home. I have so little free time I don’t want to spend it learning the ins and outs of Linux.
Understandable. For making sure games work I use protondb.com
I haven’t had any problems modding games, even using external mod managers.
For most people, a browser and some apps is enough, which linux is perfectly ready for. For most gamers, linux can run basically any game like native, and most niche games with some finagling.

Which games? Have you tried proton? Lutris?

Have you tried the things I suggested? You sure do whine a lot. Speaking of Wine, have you tried it?

Got it.
Oh I guess all the people posting in Linux subs trying to get their games to work are just Microsoft bots.
Every Linux user is actually a cyborg
My head is deep and permanently in the sand but I know all about the sky and fresh air and I’m here to tell you they suck
^ that’s you btw
So still can’t give a reason

I enjoy a ad free life but thanks for your concern.

Legal windows keys aren’t $3. And not using windows Isn’t all about price. But you dont seem to get that I suppose.
No attack here. I’m not attacking you. I’m stating that you likely just dont hsve the knowledge on the topic.
I didnt read every comment here.
What issues are you having? What distro are tou using? Whst games aren’t working?
Any supporting details would help me potentially help you.
