Now when trying to activate the OS by attempting to call the phone number for Microsoft Product Activation, an automated voice response says the following: "Support for product activation has moved online.

Linux is this way, guys.

    i can’t agree with this general statement. i guess it’s important to understand that a lot of the multiplayer games you wanna currently play have some kind of protection which makes it currently not suitable to run on linux.

    just to give a different view mp games which currently seem to work ( checked protondb ):
    - Eldenring Nightreign
    - Dark and Darker (used to work)
    - Helldivers & Helldivers 2
    - Arc Raiders
    - Counter Strike
    - Overwatch
    - DOOM in very different versions
    - Quake Live
    - Hunt Showdown 1896
    - Dead by Daylight
    - Warframe

    with all respect for the games you currently love so much, please don’t make general statements.

    A personal advice i want to give: Only change to linux if you are also willing to change yourself and adapt. Linux is not Windows like, Mac OS is not Windows , like a Playstation is not a XBOX or a Switch.

      i know a lot of the mp games i play have an anti-cheat that doesn’t support linux, i’m blaming the AC devs here, not linux.

      as for my general statement, i used this handy little website: https://areweanticheatyet.com/

      note how i said most mp games w anti-cheat can’t run on linux. i think 59% qualifies as ‘most’.

      i’m rlly not sure why you’re so defensive here ngl, i love linux. i use linux on one of my pcs for development, i’m not attacking linux in any way.
