  It does not support kernel level anti-cheat!

  Huh, thought you were mentioning only the cons.

    Gods luck playing any of the biggest, most played games in the world without it.

        Unlucky for you then. I’m gonna be having an absolute blast on Battlefield 6 in a few months 😀

  You jest but would you really install Arch on your grandmother’s PC?

    Why not ? I suppose that as long as a browser (and whatever else she need) is working, my grandmother would not need much more. And I could also install a windows11 theme on KDE, if I really want to. A icon is a icon

    And in the end I think that my grandmother would be able to mantain neither a window machine, so I don’t see the problem.

      I think most of the replies to my remark thought I was questioning Linux for grandma overall. I wasn’t. Just Arch. I don’t think grandma needs rolling releases.

    When my wife’s grandparents had to get a new computer they got upset about the new windows interface and the fact their old games didn’t work, so I set them up with Linux and a DE that resembled XP (it’s what they were familiar with), and I was able to get most of their games going.

    They used it without issue until they died.

      So you’re saying Linux killed your wife’s grandparents.

        Now that would be a funny headline.

        No sadly COVID lockdown isolation did them in. I’ve never seen minds and bodies decay so fast. I have another friend who developed full-blown psychosis from it too, and at this point it looks like he’s never coming back. The lockdowns were harder on some people than we were/are ready to talk about I think.

      You couldn’t get windows games working in windows?

    Linux is ideal for people who don’t know how to use computers. I have been stored Debian for lots of old people and kids. you set it up once and lock it down into users and all they need to do is click to open their web browser or email. kids pensioners and normies don’t do anything on computers other than the occasional word processor document watching YouTube or Netflix or going on Facebook. the problems start when people know a little about computers and want to start installing stuff themselves.

    Depends on her needs. If she uses it for Facebook, no problem, since I’ll be admining her system anyways

        May I ask what’s your job? I’m a web developer completely fine on Linux.
