As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install 👍

…and Happy 30th Birthday “New Technology” File System!

    I use both. I like Linux better, even more since W10. It’s spyware, crap, all those nasty things. But hey, I’m a pc gamer and, sadly enough, my games (80% of them) all get funcky in Linux (wine, playonlinux,… I tried it all), so guess I’m stuck with the crap. But again, Linux is far better and superior

      When’s the last time you tried gaming on Linux? Valve has made a ton of progress with Proton in the last few years.

        People always say this as though you can suddenly game smoothly on linux. Sure, most games do work but half the games need you to do some voodoo magic to make it work or make it work properly with the things you expect to work.

        For example, getting a 12 button pad to work on mouses (several brands, and there arent many to choose from) is either wonky, broken or needs windows to bind the buttons.

        Thats fine, theres other games. Anything with anticheat is a no-go. Some games require a specific configuration of packages, others will jusr break on a new update. VR? forget it.

        So gaming on linux is just hoping the OS supports it the stuff you like and that your friends dont mind waiting 5 minutes to several hours for you to figure out how to get a game they want to play with you set up properly.

        Realistically, this cannot change until hardware manufacturers and game devs properly support linux.
