I prefer to use an OS that i don’t constantly have to fight with.
What would that be?
I use Mint, by the way.
Anything aside from actually moving away from Windows, eh?
We reach the point, where the optimal windows install will include multiple complicated tinker steps for disabling intrusive features, while many Linux distro installs are nowadays pretty much streamlined and straightforward.
Oh how the turntables…
It’s bad for normal people. The Linux community is still delusional about the desktop state and it’s lack of easy use and compatible hardware.
Now, here come 20 nerds to screech at me about how my issues aren’t real and 10 years outdated.
Running bazzite deck/desktop (gnome) and still have multiple issues configuring displays, audio, and getting games to work correctly.
Skill issue. Sorry.
Perfection.
It is both easier and ready for the public and a skill issue.
Peak Linux DE cognitive dissonance.
Gaming is and will always be the reason for majority of people. There was some incredible progress, but if I can’t play everything I own on Linux, I won’t switch. This comes from a guy who loves his Steam Deck.
Also specific proprietary software people need to use for work. If you’re a design freelancer that cannot properly edit photoshop or illustrator files, customers are likely to go with another freelancer. That’s why many people dual boot for when they have to keep windows around, but this allows them to keep the evil side of their computer at least a little less evil.
For me, gaming was a requirement, but I had enough of Windows and switched to Bazzite (Gaming centric preloaded Fedora Linux).
It’s really only kernel level anti-cheat games (Apex Legends, Valorant, Rainbow 6, etc.) that are incompatible now. If you’re a co-op or single player gamer, I haven’t had an issue.
Of the current 1000 top played games, 90% are playable ProtonDB. Steam’s playable rating is overly cautious in it’s assessment.
Proton db is straight up unreliable. Plenty of “compatible” games still require huge amounts of tinkering.
The latest fully compatible game for me PoE2 is missing 4k for me, missing HDR, vrr, and a bunch of other shit.
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
Yeah, who really wants to play whack-a-mole with their own computer?
They can’t handle Linux and Macs are for the gays
Excuse me, what?
I’m making fun of windows users.
By dunking on gay people, nice. What year is this?
You missed the point. People used to actually say that about Mac users. That comment was made as parody.
Grow up.
