  Or, you know, don’t use Windows

    Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you’re stuck using it if you want to play those titles.

      There are so many good games out there, I can simply skip the ones that don’t run on Linux.

      Ah, anti-cheat problems? Feels like those are nearly the only ones that won’t play nice with Proton nowadays

        Some work surprisingly well. Elden ring for example. The funny thing is when I close Elden ring in windows, the anti cheat splash page stays and I need to close it from task manager. In Linux it just closes by itself as it should.

      Pretty much only ones that use an invasive, kernel-level anticheat. I don’t want that on my system regardless.

    Microsoft owns github. I wonder if there’s going to be a purge of this kind of software from the system coming down the pike.

    I’m sure if they did that it would spark a mass exodus and the development of a viable alternative, but I’ve never seen those kinds of inevitable consequences stop a corporation from enshittifying.

      There are viable alternatives to GitHub already, especially if you need to host your own code.

      Gitlab comes to mind.

      Microsoft have actually been decent stewards of GitHub

        Ah. That’s the “embrace” phase.

        It’s impossible to imagine that they haven’t talked about nixxing something like Microsofiy Activation Scripts though.

        The idea that a multinational corporation will be able to resist enshittification forever is pretty cute. These thing happen over the course of many years. They haven’t turned it to shit yet, but it’s basically inevitable isn’t it?
