Friends are overrated, comrade!
Friends are capitalistic propaganda to make you easier to manipulate and control into working long hours so that some guy called "CEO" can show off all of his green pieces of paper to his friends /s
During last gamenight with the friends we decided to play halo infinite. We all had a good laugh that the two on windows were the only ones crashing
I would not let that live down tbh

Break free of proprietary friends ^^
All my friends are Open Source if you know what I mean
Many people commit to them and they fork off to others?

Off topic... But isn't apt-get outdated? I thought it was just "apt install"
If you're a user interacting with a terminal => apt
If you're writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get
Apt is ~~just a wrapper around apt-get~~ a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.
Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.

Well it's getting better, and fast imo. When I started using Linux some 4 years ago I could barely play anything in my library. If the game had online functionality in any way, chances were it didn't run. That has gotten a lot better imo but Proton is still not where it needs to be. But things change and from what I, as a consumer, can see it seems like the biggest problem now are invasive Anti-Cheats rather than anything fundamentally breaking the games.
Edit: but yeah, it sucks when shit ain't working and the small fraction of stuff not working is still a bit much to swallow
I've built my current gaming pc in april of 2022, installed ubuntu and really haven't had any issues that weren't solved by 5 minutes of googling

Haven't run into a game yet that doesn't run on Linux when using Proton. 👌
The Finals works on Linux!
In other news, I got a message saying I was banned from The Finals for playing on Linux.

Most of the games not running today would run perfectly if they did not have some bullshit anti-cheat implemented (Easy Anti-Cheat is I think the worst offender here).

As someone who was already only mostly playing single player games, the transition from Windows to Linux was so easy. All my games just work. The only multiplayer game I fuck with anymore is Battlebit Remastered, and that works great.
Since my style of learning is "jump in and figure it out as you go" (impulsive idiot), I've been very impressed with how much has just worked.
I've been afraid to recommend my set up to friends though because I don't want to be their troubleshooter.
I love Linux, but I never expect it to be mainstream or even extremely accessible to typical users. In fact, if it made it to mainstream, it'd probably get ruined somehow by corporate interference, monetization, etc. How you may ask? Well, corporations have a lot of money and influence and I'm sure they could "find a way" if motivated to do so.

It already is mainstream. You probably own 10 times as many computers running Linux than Windows without even knowing it.
Desktop computers are a just a tiny part of the market.

Yeah, it did. It’s called Android.

This seems dated. I'm not saying there is no issues but man has it improved so much.
Improved =/= working 100% of the time
Ah, yes, not 100% of the time. You know, like Windows. Thanks for the laugh.

Impossible, I've had Linux users swear to me that gaming on Linux is now perfect and even better than on Windows!
I've had people tell me that they experience better performance running games on Linux through Proton compared to running them natively on Windows. A while back, I decided to try Windows for the first time since 2002 on actual hardware. With TF2, I encountered significantly more crashes & lag compared to running it on my Arch install....

The only time I have trouble with Linux gaming is either a multiplayer game I want to play isn't supported or some Visual Novel having random issues every once in a while. But this meme is still true lol.
this is exactly me every time i'm showing someone how easy it is nowadays to run games in linux, only for the game that was running perfectly the previous night to throw some random error and crash my system
"ah shucks, Windows Update just initiated a reboot without asking, guess I'm out for the night guys"
I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)
I had Windows 10 do it once over however many years i was using it (was a fairly early adopter), and Windows 11 has never done it.
Anyone who can easily use Linux can just make Windows not do that kind of shit, and not auto-update, and block the connection from basically all Windows processes.

Steam with Proton made this way more easier than in the past. OTOH, yeah, sometimes I feel like this when tuning CS2 on Wayland.

It's crazy how much better things are now. I had the same reaction some weeks ago when I wanted to play Leathal Company with friends and remembered I'm on Linux while they all used some 3rd party Windows only mod manager. One day later I found r2modman in the AUR which automatically recognized Steam + Proton and everything just ran. And there is even a Titanfall 2 cross platform mod program!!!! The sofware support just keeps getting better every day.
I always hear people say they sometimes have issues with games but I've switched to Linux relatively recently and I still haven't had a game in my library that didn't play.
- Free of proprietary software
- plays Apex Legends
I installed KDE Neon on Friday evening and things were going great, everything was testing well, and Saturday game night with the gang went flawlessly, but this morning the VMWare Horizon Linux client spontaneously decided that it didn't want to accept mouse input anymore, so after ten minutes of troubleshooting I gave up and booted back into Windows so that I can be productive today.
A battle lost, but the war is not over yet.

Yeah give me a minute to install and setup proprietary Nvidia drivers, Retroarch, PCSX2, Lutris, Steam and Wine-staging along with all of the necessary dependencies. Worth it tho
install grub
install windows
only boot into windows
???
It's always best to try it well ahead of time even if it's just for having that shader cache setup and ready to go.
Also trying to get trainers to run is a bit of a nightmare. I use steamtinkerlauncher for that and it's hit or miss I'd say.
Is this true anymore with Steams Version of Linux? For the most part shit runs fine on my steam deck

Let's hope that game is open source, otherwise Richard Stallman would be very disappointed.
Me playing wow on lutris and it crashing the one time a week as we start a raid boss.
