  That’s always so easy to say, isn’t it?

    Far easier to do too. I did one of each last month and there’s no question that the Windows setup experience is terrible in comparison.

      The software and hardware I’m using won’t work on Linux.

        And that’s the part that everyone ignores. They’ll say open a VM or use wine or there’s an open source alternative. But if I’m going to run native Linux just to open a windows VM to run the primary software I use, what’s the point? I’m not bashing on either side. I use Windows when I need and, and go back to Linux when I’m finished, but that’s because that’s the solution that works for me.

        Linux community arrogance is to deny the device driver issues and think Apple is fine, when the reason Apple thrives is because they don’t have open hardware like Linux, BSD, Windows…

        Hardware companies are rarely held account for their absent support of Linux - some campaigns have come and gone, but in the end Linux users tend to arrogantly say it’s trivial to switch and embrace dishonesty. I guess they figure Microsoft is dishonest, so they normalize it.

        File the required issues with those manufacturers then. Support for Linux is trivially easy to add compared to Microsoft: the kernel sources and stuff to create your modules are right there.

        Same here, to a certain extent.

        I was referring only to Linux’s lack of bullshittery in comparison to Windows, nothing else.

        100% same

        I was needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day to accomplish simple tasks, and that made Linux no longer worth the hassle.

  When Linux gets around to supporting all the games I like I will

    It will never support 100% of games. Mainly due to extremly agresive anti cheats that are the same as root kits.

    Alright, continue to suffer on Windows. Or fix it yourself

      Is this how you advocate for Linux?

        I don’t want entitled people who want everything done for them for free and expect it to compete with an evil company that steals from their pockets without their knowing. If you don’t want to join unless I pave the way just the way you like, you better get your gloves on and help a hand. Linux doesn’t ‘need’ to win nor does it to include everyone. If people want to learn, get started or need help, I’ll help them in a heartbeat. If someone expects, well demands, I do their work for them, they can get fucked with an anchor.

        Why bother trying to convince people like you who only complain about Windows, but are way too lazy to do anything about? It’s just a waste of my time. I’d much rather gloat about how I don’t have to deal with crap like this. Don’t come on here and expect sympathy for something that is entirely within your power to change.

    You mean, when your games get around to supporting Linux, right? File the required issues with those manufacturers.

  Linux users are what everyone says vegans are.

  • vinhill@feddit.de ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    But they speak from a high a position of superiority and rightness.

    I’d rather be vegan than a Windows user.

  No, I don’t want too.
