CaptDust, in There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

Anticheat is about to force this progress backwards years as publishers push drm

parpol,

Publishers who do this make shit games anyway. I see the publishers slowly fading while indie studios continue to shape the new standard of video games.

Apollo2323, in There's still room for improvement, but Linux gaming has come a long way in a short time.

True I just moved my gaming PC to Linux and wow!! Almost all of my games run on Linux. Thank you for everyone working so hard.

the1bobcat,

This is the main reason, other than gog’s lack of support, for not going full Linux.

I buy mostly GOG games (like 90%) and with Heroic it’s quite easy.

julianh,

You can use a launcher like Heroic to play games you have on gog or epic.

drkt, in r/pcmasterrace morons attempting an anti-Linux meme

I’m impressed they got it wrong for both platforms

MacOS software updates are free. The issue is that suddenly Apple decides your perfectly functioning computer is no longer supported, and after that in a matter of 2 years you will no longer find any new software for your OS, and then you have 3 options:

  • Buy a new computer.
  • Hackintosh it with a dosdude patch to use the latest version of MacOS.
  • Just install GNU/LINUX.
NGC2346, in Windows eats partitions

Dual booting < having two separate SSD’s

mojo,

They still need to share an EFI partition

archchan, in I heard it's starting to get better

Everything I want to play runs on Linux and the couple that don’t are because of EAC, which I can’t be bothered with. I’ve completely cut Windows out of my life.

SaintNewts, in Windows eats partitions

I really hate that Windows does this. Which is why when I decide to switch a machine to Linux it’s the only OS allowed to boot to bare metal. Windows can go in a VM and suck it.

Not sure why, but your comment made me think about the first machine I switched to Linux. It was a laptop who’s fan eventually had a bad bearing and needed to be replaced. Luckily it was still under warranty, so I sent the laptop in to get the fan replaced, and received my laptop back with Windows installed on it… I was so livid.

BeMoreCareful,

Never send them the drive.

They are probably required to boot to the desktop for qa

Yup, exactly what they said. But I didn’t know any better at the time. These days I would just fix that myself rather than send it to them

Gamey, in I love the linux community, never change

I just wish people didn’t spread so much missingormation in this community, in theory I would love to argue about things like Systemd, Flatpaks, Appimages, Gnome, KDE, Arch, Standalone WMs and so on but in practice it’s just a bunch of dushbags trashing on things they obviously don’t want to understand most of the time!

With proton, this is less and less the case.

intelati,

Basically, I tried proton and I’ll never go back.

The overhead of windows is so heavy

heehaw,

what is proton? what does it do?

moody,

Proton is a translation layer that uses Wine and other tricks to allow you to run Windows games on Linux. It’s a Valve project that is making a ton of progress on compatibility. It’s a huge part of the success of the Steam Deck.

Indeed, God bless proton

zurohki, in I love the linux community, never change

Your distro is crap, mine is awesome.

What distro do I use? I don’t see how that’s relevant. No, I don’t need to know what you use either.

Edit: we all secretly know that Hannah Montana Linux is the best.

Hazrod, in Tried to fix the another meme

Fucking hell that original meme was racist as fuck

knobbysideup, in What FOSS does to a mf'er (not that it's a bad thing)

Closed source goals are profit. Open source goals are to solve a problem.

I like this much more than the Linux becomes Marxism meme.

Similar vibe, but I think ‘marxism’ is not the only conclusion from realising how much megacorps control our world. I’m more of a left-anarchist myself :U

there1snospoon,

As a leftist/liberal who doesn’t know too much about polsci, how would anarchism function on a grand scale? Genuine curiosity.

bear,

Anarchism is less a system of functions to be implemented, and more of a governing philosophy on how we build other systems. That philosophy focuses heavily on the expansion of democracy and the elimination of hierarchy wherever possible in order to create the most total freedom in the system. It is not inherently opposed to the concepts of governance or laws as many believe. It usually means focusing on smaller governing units, preferring local governance wherever possible, to give people the most direct control over their own lives. Self-sufficient communities are a major goal here.

The meaning of freedom to an anarchist is wholistic; not just freedom to, but also freedom from. Freedom to pursue your life on your terms, freedom from any obligation or inhibition that would prevent or detract from that goal. This includes, for example, unconditional freedom for all people from starvation, homelessness, or the inability to access medical care. It is an intentionally utopian ideal, that we should strive for something that may not even be possible, because that is how we’ll create the best possible world.

Once upon a time, anarchism was effectively synonymous with libertarianism. That word was bastardized in America to the point that it is unrecognizable now.

there1snospoon,

Well. That’s a wholly different picture than the word itself paints.

It’s almost sad, as anarchist has such a negative connotation that, to me, it feels what you’re describing may deserve a new name to relieve it of the baggage associated with the name. It will be awfully hard to get people to listen in America when it’s so saturated with the idea that anarchism is, well… anarchic, ungoverned chaos.
