Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

And the windows circlejerk says private, secure, performant OSes that also play most games are trash not worth trying. Hm.

It’s not a circlejerk to want to play a game I’ve paid for

  Weirdly defensive about something that you yourself admitted that no one accused you of being

    I’m saying calling it a circlejerk is unnecessarily derisive when the post I was responding to even calls out that Linux alternatives play most games. Most games is not all of my games. I’m not a Microsoft fanboy by any stretch, but if it’s the only way to play a game I want to play, that is what I’ll do.

    I despise the term “circlejerk” and was only using it sarcastically. But in any case, I do grow tired of people shitting on linux. The reasons? I have explained a million times.
    
    I mean, either deal with windows and its 1000 flaws or the same with linux. Some of us would just rather deal with flaws that are honest. I’d rather deal with a bug that 100 people around the globe work together to fix in a timely matter than deal with shit-ass “features” that actively ruin my experience because some disgusting executives want to buy more Porsches this summer. While pretending to care about me as a customer.
    
    Cue “I just want to play games”. Well yeah me too sometimes. Now that I have an AMD card, I never have a problem with it. I spent a lot of time testing my games and 86% worked fine. This included a lot of sketchy/old games (Jedi Knight 1 and 2 for example – those barely can work on anything newer than win 98) that I didn’t expect to work actually… If we’re only talking new games, it’s probably like 95%. I don’t play games enough to care about an occasional poorly-written game not working.
