Question. Can’t you get around all this shit just getting win pro?
I still hate to give any $ to microshit, but if anyone wants to use popular software or play new games they need windows.
It will be true if people are unwilling to put in a little effort to demand better or stop using windows.
You want your games to run on something else? Don’t buy them until they do. Sadly, most people are 100% unwilling to delay that instant gratification and sacrifice even the smallest convenience.
That’s how we got here. You cannot expect change if you are unwilling to do anything to make it happen.
This is why sloth is a deadly sin.
100% , people are lazy as shit so there is no hope for linux until every single thing runs perfect without the user ever having tp touch a terminal or search a fix. Just how it is. I love to tinker, and thats why I love linux. But its not for the general population.
Even if true, that doesn’t mean you have to put up with it everywhere else.
I dual boot linux. And boot an extremely neutered Windows for most games.
You and I do this, but 99% if the world runs on ms. They wont change. My friend says it sounds exhausting to do anything like that.
Fair.
And it’s the default.
Eventually, OEMs might find all this stuff is hurting sales and start offering Linux. I think that would be huge, as 99% of people will just stick to the default.
Oh for sure. I’ve had my SO look over at my mint pc (they are on 10 still) and go woah that is awesome!! So i am trying to convince them to change over. I really dont want any windows pcs on my network. But they use vr which still isn’t good on linux without a lot of work.

I exclusively use Linux. In fact I don’t even own a computer that Windows would install on, at least not without hacks or workarounds.
I play a lot of games. In my experience only the trashiest of the trash games don’t work on Linux. Developers have to go out of their way and do extra work to make things not run on Linux these days. I will happily play an indie alternative of whatever trash enshittification sponsored game won’t run on Linux in the increasingly rare situation where I encounter one.

Im sorry but many popular games wont run well on linux.
-Any battlefield game -Valorant -Fortnite -Gtav online, likely gta6 will also not work.
These are huge among young gamers.
And good for you! I only use windows at work where I have to. And I just yell my friends i wont install shitty kernel anti cheat games. But they will play them without us anyway, so really we lose.
