Comment on Wine 11 runs Windows apps in Linux and macOS better than ever
CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 2 days agoMy fervent hope is that, someday in the future, people can build a gaming PC and just forego Windows to save $100.
Good news! Your future hope is reality’s past!
Seriously though, who buys a copy of Windows for a custom built PC that they install Linux on? I’ve built a bunch of computers over the past decade or so and I haven’t purchased a copy of Windows since the early 2000s. And technically that was just an OEM licence that came with a laptop.

Who buys? Most of people :)

So you’re telling me that someone who builds a custom PC with the intention of installing Linux will go out and buy a Windows license?

I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro.

That’s what you said. And I’m not even sure what you mean by “I ment who build a custom PC. That’s reality bro.”
The reality is that a good portion of gamers either build their own systems or buy “custom built” systems from a company that builds them. It’s mainly only OEM manufacturers that include a Windows license, like HP, Lenovo, MSI, and generally laptops.
So ultimately there’s no scenario where your comment makes sense.
