Cool

The only games that don’t work on Linux at this point, are the Live Service Kernel Anti-Cheat games.

Big lie. Linux is fine when everything works on specific hardware. It becomes a nightmare for average users when something important doesn't work.

I use Linux, have for years.. but do you really need to keep starting a thread on the same topic every other day? Give it a rest already.

This clown either has unupdated references from the early 2000s, or is citing wierd cases as average user unadvertedly using a distribution such as Arch or Gentoo (which is a good way to become an advanced PC user if you go for that willingly).

Linux Mint alone makes everything easy, from install to configure, and there are millions of people to help, unlike when contacting Microsoft and getting a pre-written, unhelpful response.

"We do not support that version of Windows anymore. Please update, and buy a new machine if needed. Atentiously, Brad."

People create the same US Pol threads every day! Multiple times a day, actually.

This one is at least informative. It should be pinned'

It's not any more or less informative than the last 20 of them in the past couple weeks. It's just spamming the same topic over and over again.

You disregarded most of my comment and replied with the same rants from befote. I feel we can't build a conversation.

Please stop flooding the thread with your rants, grandpa. Go install Gentoo, instead. Stay sharp!

What's this? A Linux user who isn't annoying, doesn't have a god complex and doesn't compulsively seek attention based on how cool he is for using an unpopular OS?

You are a rare specimen nowadays.

Linux uses less resources?
Valid, but that's not always the case.

kinda funny how the "it sucks, but what are the alternatives" no longer works for windows :V

anyone else here rocking TempleOS?

Average users who use the computer just for web browsing and basic activities benefit absolutely nothing from Linux. That is taking into consideration that they have hardware that is verified or certified to run on Windows 11.

Same goes for MacOS. When all of the operating systems are capable of doing what they need and ask for, there is no benefit in switching. Most people have no problems with Windows.

Windows is still, undeniably, the dominant front-end OS - with the broadest hardware support, driver support and software support of all the options. You may argue that Microsoft has obtained market dominance unfairly, yes, but this support is still crucial for millions of people and their activities. If your software or peripheral doesn't work on Linux, it is immediately out of the question unless you prioritize ideologies above convenience, which, makes no sense.

We also have a loooot of people who don't want to change from GUI to CLI. That is personal preference that Linux users who preach about choice and freedom ought to respect.

Linux is good for back-end, over there it's way better than Windows.

With all the due respect, what exactly makes Windows "GUI" and Linux "CLI"?

The Synaptic Package Manager existed since 2001, and Windows support for .bat scripting existed since its first version as well.

That the typical Windows user avoids any CLI and the typical Linux user uses CLI do not mean they are intrinsic to the operating systems themselves.

Especially in the context of running Steam and Proton (which is inherently always GUI).
