All companies are terrible

Do you mean to tell me that IP law exists only to gatekeep ideas and funnel wealth into an ever-shrinking number of hands? And maybe that the execution of those ideas is more important? You might be on to something…

Me and my ex wife get along better now than we did when we were married

Being bad at something is the first step to being good at it. Don’t give up because it’s hard, that’s why you’re doing it in the first place.

That’s fair. Honestly, the only games in my experience that don’t run on Linux have been artificially crippled with anticheat; I even play some old ones that don’t even run on windows anymore 😂

Is 89% of the top 1000 not good enough to just call it 90% of games?

If it’s your daily, sure, use Mint. But you will learn a lot more about Linux if you install Arch the hard way, especially if it’s your “fuckin’ around PC”.

I’ve used a 360 emulator and I think there’s a xbone emulator but definitely not series. Perhaps they have their own in-house one. I think they’ve basically been using PC hardware forever though, and the Xbox OS is basically stripped down windows so this doesn’t seem like a huge jump. As I recall PlayStation OS is basically BSD, too, which is both sweet and not for various reasons. Exclusives are dead anyway and consoles often get sold at a loss to move games, I’d argue that all consoles should just be PCs.

That’s really interesting and I appreciate taking the time to write that comment, but I’d put Mac and Windows on the same team because their goals are basically the same, to transfer wealth from the consumer to the company. Linux, and open source software in general, does not have that same motivation to squeeze the consumer so of course it’s going to be better.

Mac hardware gets sold at tremendous markup because it’s so closed. Windows is little more than a vessel to show ads. Linux is a good experience from installation onward, almost regardless of distribution. Free of telemetry and runs on literally whatever, if it can run code it can probably run Linux. I have a laptop from 2011 that runs Arch with XFCE and it’s buttery smooth. My 2012 MacBook pro has been a paperweight for years and Microsoft wants me to throw away anything that can’t be tied to me personally.

That said I would MUCH rather use macos than windows, my wife has an m1 MacBook Air that I use sometimes and it’s definitely more pleasant than Windows. However, I think Linux is the odd man out. MacOS vs Windows is like stubbing your left toe vs your right toe.

I run Arch btw on my gaming PC and my old ass laptop I can show you my qualifications if you want 😂

I have 450 hours in BG3 and have not yet finished the main storyline

MacOS or whatever they call it now is “unix-like” but it’s still ultimately a closed environment and definitely not the same, ethically, as a real FOSS OS. Apple doesn’t care about you any more than Microsoft or Google, they’re also in it for money.

Pretty much everything that isn’t artificially crippled to not run on Linux runs better on Linux

2007 but 2009 was good too

Modern Warfare was peak CoD

I think we did twice

I was a volunteer fireman in a really shitty rural town. Those guys are racist as fuck they just don’t have guns with which to shoot you.

If he had actually done it I feel like he wouldn’t be getting railroaded like he is because they would have real evidence

Helldivers 2 🥲

I heard Juggalo makeup works the same way, woop woop

Alien really holds up, hard to believe it’s a 70s movie damn
