unreasonabro,

Sigh. Every time!

shalva97,

that’s the only thing preventing me from installing Linux and also pirated games which are only on Windows

Yggnar,

This is from 2018. I can’t speak for pirated games but basically everything on steam works out of the box these days.

Lifter,

I don’t even check any more. Just buy the gme and run it!

sep,

So he did not enable the “Try proton on all games, even if not explicitly supported” in steam options. shakes head

halvar,

this was in 2018

About a month before proton released

olafurp,

I can run all my games on Linux.

Kanda,

Many have tried

Sam_Bass,

It honestly surprises me that nobody has tried to jailbreak games from steam’s clutches

Linux users are the vegans of the computer world.

jol,

Exactly, Linux users are the ones willing to sacrifice the frivolous for the good of all.

While being very vocal about it.

Microsoft and Apple have paid marketing departments. Linux uses open source marketing aka Linux users shilling at every opportunity.

PatMustard,

I think to be a shill you have to be getting paid or otherwise compensated for it. If you truly believe it and nobody is sweetening the deal then you’re just an enthusiast!

yokonzo,

I can smell the penguin tears

nickwitha_k,

What was that? I couldn’t hear it over the sound of not having adware integrated into my OS. ;)

unreasonabro,

If pointing out you’re right weren’t necessary, you would already know and be helping. Oh well. nom

Moneo,

It’s funny, I hear more from people complaining about vegans than I do from vegans. People complaining about vegans are literally more annoying than vegans at this point.

gens,

More like vegetarians, as many suck on nvidias tittie.

the_crotch,

Nvidia is persona non grata in the Linux community right now, apparently their drivers are shit

gens,

The drivers themselves are great (on par with windows). But they don’t play well with others.

There’s a tool called GRUB you can use to dual boot Windows and still be part of the gang. Just don’t say it out loud though, especially when arguing with a macOS user.

suzune,

I recently replaced MacOS with Linux on a MacBook. And next year my last installation of Windows is going to be deleted. I absolutely hate this ad-infested crap they want to distribute.

I got Manjaro Gnome installed on a 2015 MacBook Pro (and on a P400), but I see absolutely no reason why I should use Asahi on my M2 Max.

I’ve been waiting for a Darwin+Gnome OS for years now but people seem to prefer ignoring that macOS kernel is open source too (just as Swift, Swift compiler, WebKit, Cups, ALAC, HealthKit, HomeKit…)

unreasonabro,

The ads aren’t even bothering me yet, though I object strenuously on principle. Shittiest thing about the os so far is the fucking load times - how did you screw this up, retards?

Lemminary,

Game devs: WhY SuPpOrT iT WhEn ItT’s oNlY 5% oF oUr ReVeNuE!!

Dumb game devs not writing games in Java

You’re welcome

Kusimulkku,

Operation Flashpoint was the best!

Outtatime,
@Outtatime@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yeah but I’m referring to this

Kusimulkku,

I know

Kusimulkku,

Death of Flash games is sad, death of Flash video not, I spot of Flash’s grave because of all the horrid memories

Rentlar,

Really speaks to how far we’ve come since 2018. PlayOnLinux was the simplest way to get Windows games working and that was still a lot of tinkering.

PlasticExistence,

And that was a big step above just trying to get Wine configured to play games. I did that once way back. It was just too much work for worse performance than Windows. I’m sure there were Linux wizards out there who did a better job getting their games working in Linux than I did.

Now I’m primarily enjoying PC games on a Steam Deck with almost no configuration needed. Amazing!

Crozekiel,

Jesus christ. I was thinking my head “has it really changed that much in just like 2 years”. Then reality set in :(

HotsauceHurricane,

My brother in christ you forgot to apt-get install winetricks

Soup,

Mac OS is basically a Linux kernel fight me.

(I know it’s just they’re both unix based, it is joke).

Kraiden,

Akshully only macos is unix based, linux is unix like... /pedantry

marmotworks,

Ackshewaly MacOS is based on BSD, which is not Linux or Unix

leftzero,

BSD, and by extension Darwin and macOS, is most definitely Unix, tracing its roots all the way back to the original Bell Labs Unix source code.

swab148,
@swab148@startrek.website avatar

Didn’t Minix also have Unix roots? So why is Linux only Unix-like?

suzune,

Every single free operating system made sure in the 90s that not a single line from commercial OSes like Unix persists in the kernel and userland. The idea is Unix, but not the code.

swab148,
@swab148@startrek.website avatar

Ah, thanks

fuckwit_mcbumcrumble,
burgersc12,

Its like the step between Windows and Linux. “Linux-light” if you will, but with more tracking!

amzd,

All anon had to do was right click the game > properties and turn on proton compatibility

Cethin,

This is from 2018, so he also needed a time machine or to wait a while.

XEAL,

I love playing Insurgency native for GNU/Linux and having FPS drops from 294 to 12 because of some unoptimized bullshit in the map.

pastaPersona,

Mfw super tux kart isn’t good enough for anon
