OSX is fine for daily use, but I’d pick Windows over it simply for hardware compatibility.

It’s better than Windows if you like having products all made by the same company

Windows: nope, too old. Find a version that’s compatible with your current installation.

Trust me, I tried playing some old CD games from my dad’s shed on Windows 10 for such a long time, it wouldn’t even let me do that without having to rely on a virtual machine. Most of those games were in French and German, btw.

Dicska,

I mean, I kind of understand with Heroes of Might and Magic 1 or Prehistorik 2 or something. But heck, even Guitar Hero 3 is impossible to install and play on Windows 10.

I originally thought the games were for some reason DOS based (then why are they made for Windows then?), but no. Windows just hates old games.

I even tried compatibility mode, no dice.

Wait, that doesn’t solve your problems? Damn, that sucks. (Get your downvotes ready)

Mac: No

the Rocky Linux picture should show:

Most of the games I play don’t run on Linux sadly. Even Lethal Company, which is perfectly fine on Linux, couldn’t be captured by OBS, so I had to switch to Windows before I could stream.

Game compatibility is getting better but still not good

caseyweederman,

What about with the new… thing. Um. There was a thread about it recently. It did… a thing. A Wayland thing.

Somehow, my exhausted brain managed to turn that into a reasonable search string.
Gamescope. A Wayland compositor that lets you define virtual displays that run overtop of your regular desktop.

I’m not congratulating anyone moving to an Ubuntu derivative. They count towards Canonical’s update server access stats, inflating the user count of a distributor who’s hostile towards openness with their Snap stuff even if the derivative doesn’t even use Snap.

ratman150,

How often do you go outside? You seem to care a lot about silly things that really don’t matter.

Also Kubuntu is awesome and I hope that upsets you.

I hope that upsets you.

Weird fanboy

kattenluik,

Those aren’t words actual people use by the way.

UnfortunateShort, in Can you install thid 25 year old program?

What do you mean? I have yet to find a way to install any game on Windows older than ~20 years.

superbirra, in alias 2024='echo "YEAR OF THE DESKTOP"'

no need to quote echo args :P

borf,

I mean it’s good practice generally just in case, even when it’s not needed it makes it more maintainable

I usually go with YAGNI but shell quoting can get to be a pain so I try to do it right in scripts or aliases

But for a single one-off invocation lol definitely not quoting echo args

lseif,

its good practice

superbirra,

no? :)

lseif,

why not? it is clearer to read, and being more explicit when writing scripts can be safer, maybe not in this case, but if you echoed a variable without quotes, it could possibly expand as a glob

superbirra,

maybe not in this case, but we’re talking about this case. Quoting is needed when it’s needed, otherwise, well, is not needed. Rest assured zealotries tend to disappear the more time you’re exposed to this stuff ;) but in the meanwhile prepare yourself for some PR rejections should you ever work with me hahaha cheers

abbadon420, in No tearing support discussions for me

Also, I’ve got like 9 of them. So that’s 9 times better.

recapitated, in Just because it’s better than windows doesn’t make it good

From a product design POV there’s something to be said about having control over every aspect of the system. I can see why people enjoy using apple stuff. It’s not for me though.

recapitated, in Wine being great

Is this really what excites people?
