so... is there any reason to actually use linux if you want to play video games
???
just use steam bro
weird. on my linux machine i click "install" and then click "play" and it just werkz
Seething Licux.

yes, cause its a nicer OS and plays my games, it doesn't play all windows games, but all the ones i want to platy are here so i have no problem

Pitiful.
on my machine: the OS
weird that you're describing windows but apparently are talking about linux, you sure you replied to the right person?
OP is a moron who never used Linux
If you're happy with Windows then use it. This isn't a difficult concept.
There are various reasons to use Linux, such as: strong enthusiasm for free/libre/open-source software; a desire to rid oneself of Windows; a preference for Linux desktop environments or window managers; and, simply, being based. None of these apply to you though. So just use Windows, without crying about the alternatives existing.

This is dumb windows is better because it's more secure
kek
I don't remember linux coming with a top of the line antivirus. Also linux is open source which means everyone can see its code and develop viruses for it
If windows is so secure from being closed source, why does it require an anti virus?
To make it even more secure. Windows has 2 lines of defense (closed source + antivirus). Linux has none.
Then how come you can still get viruses?
Are you fricking breaindead. No line of defense is truly impenetrable. That's why the more security the better. It's trivially easy to develop a destructive virus for linux because there is no defense for it. It's much harder to do the same on windows. Is it possible? Yes. Is it easy? No.
So what's the point of it then? You bragged about how it's top of the line and doesn't do the one thing it's supposed to do.
>You can pick a lock, therefore your door shouldn't have one
Yeah, I don't lock my door because nobody is going to break in.
Smartest linux user. Truly informed about the digital security
I dunno seems kinda dumb to pay for "security" features that don't actually work.
>pay
Yes. Anti viruses are a paid service.
Okay, I'll bite: Linux runs on 90% of the world's servers. For every one Linux vulnerability there are ten thousand Windows vulnerabilities.
Open source means many of the problems that plague Windows for decades get spotted and fixed by the community's testing version before ever getting deployed to the mainstream.
But you know all that. You probably use Linux, but you're lonely. You're lonely and you think if you have a little fake argument just for fun that you'll feel better.
But you won't, all the (You)s in the world won't fill that hole in your heart.
>Linux runs on 90% of the world's servers.
Ok. So? We are talking about average use.
>For every one Linux vulnerability there are ten thousand Windows vulnerabilities.
Source: My ass
>You probably use Linux
Nope
>You're lonely
I have a gf. Also ad hominem
>average use
And Linux security of the average user is driven in part by the needs of the people running and maintaining these servers. It is therefor in their best interests to find vulnerabilities and patch them when possible.
Contrast Windows where this will be marked medium priority at best and will thus never be fixed until it is widely exploited.
Lmao, nobody spots shit, you'd know if you're engage in any degree with the open source community. Open source just mean people will not read it when they can.
>nobody spots shit
>[posts a headline referencing a vulnerability that was spotted by a security company and then fixed right away]
If they get spotted and fixed by the community's testing version before getting deployed to the mainstream, how is it in the mainsteam for 12 years?
He said many of the problems get spotted in testing, not all of them. Either way, it was fixed before anyone used it maliciously.
Funny how your one example just happens to be the one many-years-old vulnerability I've ever heard about, by the way. It's almost like there aren't that many examples of things going unnoticed for so long. Haha I'm sure it's just a coincidence tho
>underpaid hobbyists do a better job than paid employees
Please tell me you dont believe this
yeah I'm sure the pajeets at MS headquarters do a stellar job
yes
Closed source isn't a line of defense. Simple reverse-engineering is sufficient to find a hole. I'd argue it's even worse than open source because at least in open source for every pair of eyes looking for a vulnerability to exploit there are more than likely ten other pairs of eyes looking for a vulnerability to fix just so they can do something.
In closed source software, security patches come on a schedule from the company that makes it. And that's only if they actually care.
You can never be too secure. Of course freetards don't want more security lmao.
>antivirus
Does nothing except introducing more vulnerabilities.
I'll bite. I'm sitting on 5 CVEs for Windows right now (tested working 21H2). Show me 5 that work on the latest Linux kernel.

>factory resets drivers after every update
This one pissed me off immensely because for about a year the driver for my WiFi chip that came with Windows had a KNOWN bluescreen bug that Intel had already fixed months before I even installed Windows 10. So every time Windows updated I had about 5 minutes to re-install the fixed Intel drivers before the one Windows kept defaulting to would inevitably crash.
This is just pure exaggeration.
Linux is less user friendly compared to Windows even though It "respects Your freedom". Deal with It.
0.02 rupees have been added to your microsoft account, sirs
most linux DEs (especially KDE) have visual glitches like that and probably 10x more of them
normalgays only care if linux does it
It's not the visual glitch, it's Edge getting automatically moved back out of the trash bin
It's a feature, you wouldn't want to accidentally delete Edge would you?
It's actually really good, why won't you try it?
I know these are bait threads but it always annoys me how people don't even pretend to try to know what they're talking about.
Fedora wouldn't update last night because every package was failing with a 404.

Cool OS.
Not mentioning how I tried to install a year old .deb and it wouldn't because it needed some lib that wasn't in the repos.
I've never had that problem. When there are updates available, it notifies me, and doesn't proceed until I say go. If you don't want it automated, then disable the automation. If you can't do that, switch to a distro that lets you do it (i.e. a good one).
>>just have to wait 30 minutes and check periodically until it's finished (because of course it doesn't notify me when it's done)
while pgrep dpkg > /dev/null; do sleep 60; done; notify-send "it's done"
This happens on my machine every few days indeed.
if you don't like it, then change the settings.
>just change the settings
they'll just reset next update anyway, this is why windows is superior they understand what normal people want and need and have good default options
>they'll just reset next update anyway
lol no moron that what widnwos does
my settings on windows would always reset after updates and install candycrush and all other bullshit
I guess i wasn't normal enough to be a moronic windows lemming user like you to like their default settings so theyd force them on me every update
No update has ever flipped that "Apply updates automatically" switch on my machine. It has always been off. For years. I know you're just memeing though.
>>no way to stop them
uninstall unattended-upgrades, moron.
>I-I shouldn't have to!
whatever distro you chose thought you should, including base debian. if you don't like it, again, remove it.
>>no way to stop them

It's so comfy, I love arch/endeavour so much
Deciding to use ubuntu-based trash is user error, just like deciding to use windows or mac and complaining your old games aren't working
pacman, zypper, dnf, etc should also tell you to frick off it they're already running. it's not exclusive to ubuntu.
You don't even need to do that, just do everything through your graphical package manager. Discover and Pamac are both really good, I basically never use command line for anything. Installing shit from a deb you found online is moronic at any rate.
>You don't even need to do that, just do everything through your graphical package manager.
But that's much, much slower than pressing ctrl+alt+t and typing "yay"
>Installing shit from a deb you found online is moronic at any rate.
True
You know the moment you say suggest using the command line for something normies flip the frick out
Good thing I don't give a shit about normies, it's not like they use their PC for anything else than facebook, netflix and valorant/cs
They don't know their way around any OS terminal or no terminal, they can't even figure out how to change settings with a GUI
It can't be overstated how fricking comfy Arch+the AUR is. Every Linux shill talks about how amazing package managers are and how you can install/update whatever you want with one command, except most distros are a fricking mess of outdated software, adding or enabling extra repos (especially for enabling proprietary software, so most linux distros are horrendous and broken out of the box), .debs/.rpms you downloaded from the internet, snaps/flatpaks/appimages, and random shit you've compiled--the experience is honestly much, much worse than Windows.
Arch, however, actually fulfills the promise that you really can install whatever you want (including totally random shit that would never be packaged in another distro) and update everything with one command. Between that and the great documentation of the Arch Wiki, I honestly think most wingays and especially gaymers would have a significantly easier time coming over to an Arch based distro than some shit like Ubuntu.
Coming from windows I tried ubuntu 4 times and gave up every time, then endeavourOS and I never went back
The AUR along with rolling release is everything I was missing

Literally the preinstalled Candy Crush OS.
I have never done literally anything you said for windows.
yeah it's almost like he's doing a spoof of the original post which exaggerated the difficulty of doing things on Linux
Are you even really using the OS then? The post might've been exaggerated a bit, but every point in there is an issue commonly present in Windows.
Good luck trying to run anything 16-bits now that MS killed NTVDM, ironicall your only hope is wine
Wine won't do anything if you're on 64bit either, real mode and virtual 8086 mode are unavailable when running in long mode. It's a limitation of x86-64 itself. You either have to use a 32 bit OS or use a full blown emulator if you want to run such old software.

Of course not, I got enough of waggle with the Wii.
Maybe for Oculus shit of which I am a frustrated owner. Running PCI passthrough on a Novidya card just for that while I rely on AMD for everything else.
Vive/Index will supposedly work but since I have this shit already I'm stuck in the "Just wait" mentality for good reason.
>Only 90GB
It feels a lot shittier to use a start menu over dmenu+guake now. Linux lets you set everything up the way you want and that makes it more user friendly to anyone with some amount of time on their hands.
You can also run Proton outside of Steam through something like Lutris. A lot of Steam functionality doesn't need to be attached to Steam when you're on Linux.
>Implying there aren't also people being paid to work on free software for companies
Sometimes the value gained is the value of having something that works, rather than something you can sell to someone else.
Why use a GUI for something you're doing practically by rote?

>imagine unironically believing this
you don't even have to believe, that's that sad part. that's just how it is
I think you are thinking of /x/ because that is definitely the case there
Microsoft is getting scared because linux is becoming too viable an alternative to their shitshow and paying a few pajeets a few dollars a day to shitpost about linux
You just have to look at the history of how windows got and kept its monopoly to understand their tactics, everything they do is to prevent people from even considering the competition rather than making their product desirable
microsoft has gotten caught shilling here unironically several times
Microsoft started paying people to shill here because there was heavy resistance to upgrading to 10, when 11 came out we had daily
>Why haven't you upgraded to Windows 11 yet?
Threads, in response people started posting about Linux since Valve have been slowly working on for Proton for years, but with the Steam Deck everyone now knows Linux is viable for gaming. For real this time and no one likes Windows 8, 10, 11 anyway it's like a console and most of us on Ganker moved to PC gaming to avoid the locked down console bullshit
This conflicts with Microsoft end goal which is to create a cloud based OS where you do everything through their store, a monopoly on gaming and office work a closed ecosystem like Apple have but without any of the positives or benefits of using Apple products and software
If you're old enough to remember GFWL you can see Microsoft are gearing up to take over PC gaming again, gamepass, buying up studios, pluton, microsoft accounts, xbox integration, etc
Last time it was Fallout 3 that marked the big push requiring GFWL, this time it will be Starfield requiring Windows 11 and TPM 2.0
Has someone here tried Blackbird and Win10 debloater? Is it good?

winblows users would fellate authoritarian governments
The government only wants to keep you and other people save, if they wanted to you couldn't stop them doing anything, do you really think you're smarter than the people who work in government, do you really think using linux will stop them?
They are smarter than you and usin Linux won't stop them doing what they want to do or watching you
The point is to stop corporate spying, of course it won't stop the government.

Linux desktop for personal use is the last bastion of Windows superiority. Microsoft is a trash company that can't do anything right so its only a matter of time. Gaming is really the only thing you can't do on Linux right now and compatability is getting better week by week.
>Gaming is really the only thing you can't do on Linux right now
Literally haven't been able to find a game I couldn't run since I switched a year ago, and all I do all day is play vidya
It was very funny to me when Elden Ring stuttering got fixed on linux 2 days after release and didn't get fixed on windows though
>Gaming is really the only thing you can't do on Linux right now
uh huh

This is awful.
no, of course not. WIndows has been the
safe OS for gaming on PC for decades and most people will tell you the same thing.
on steam? literally nust install. ive only experienced tweaking with proton once and its blood and bacon.
random .exe games/gog release? literally click and play as lonh as i have wine installed. have had a bunch of games work this way without any problems. the most problem you could experience is if you have shitty nvidia card—which is not really that hard to set up with optimus manager.

Except when e.g. GNOME/GTK developers deliberately break their shit on Xorg because they want people to switch to Wayland :^)
GNOME/GTK/Wayland are also primarily funded and developed by the closest thing to Microsoft in the realm of Linux corporations, i.e. Red Hat (which, in turn, is now owned by IBM). In fact, I'm pretty sure those projects have directly gotten funding from Microsoft itself. That's why anybody reasonable ignores their forced shitware and uses KDE or a WM.
No need to get mad at OP, he is right in his own world and i am happy that he and his kind will never explore that, as in their own view, fricked up world of linux.
What a surprise that Linux to this day is still able to filter those homosexuals out like nothing.
