  To be fair, Windows is getting worse every year as well and Linux isn’t officially supported by most developers so you kinda need to compromise somewhere.

  I personally went with Linux because I got fed up with Windows bullshit and the games I can’t play are mostly games I’m not really interested in playing in the first place.

    The good thing is that Linux is officially becoming a market space that they have to pay attention to or lose money. Not because of us, but steam deck normalized it. 4% of users doesn’t sound like a lot, but to a company who is desperate enough to put ads everywhere just to make a few pennies, we’ll, it may be worth it now

    Despite how shitty Windows is getting, the UX is still leagues better than any console.

    This is where I’m at too. I’m so fucking mad at the trajectory Microsuck is taking because I love indie games and getting into early access stuff and they often don’t work on Linux. Plus star citizen… Stupid anti cheat stuff doesn’t play nice with Linux :/

      It’s been a year or two, but I had no issues with Star Citizen in Linux. IIRC, I ran it through Lutris.

      People don’t want to face the truth. For the decades the “PCMR” meme has existed, it’s all been about supporting Microsoft.

        I don’t think there’s any kind of consensus that PCMR was all about bigging up Microsoft. It’s about playing PC games, and using your technology with more understanding than your average console user. It’s implied that someone using a PC has Windows because Windows is installed on virtually every single PC on Earth. For the years I’ve spent frequenting r/PCMasterRace, I’ve never seen any outward Microsoft glazing.

        It all started as a gag joke on a bit from ZeroPunctuation.
