No it literally doesn’t work it’s not compatible. Also don’t be a bitch Linux does not have the same perfect out of box play. Every game I can just run it without needing to worry about it being compatible. You literally need to use Proton which is *hint *hint compatibility layer that is not 100% compatible. There are games I literally can never play because it’s Linux. Also I have to manually add scripts to the startup which is not beginner friendly. Troubleshooting took me more time than windows ever did so no excuses from you Linux lovers I never once needed to troubleshoot running the OS from start. Also if you are using a 4K screen in 2024 not a single one of them works except for a few like Pop to me this is the only embarrassing part.
Honestly it sounds like you suck more than linux does, because I have never had any of those problems. My 4k monitors have all worked perfectly, and with wayland i have a successful mixed resolution/scaling/refresh rate setup.
If anyone is being a bitch, its you. You sound salty as fuck. I kind of hope you don't switch so the linux community doesnt have to put up with your awful attitude.
Oh, and no shit you need Proton. Thats not even worth discussing.
I thought your first post was slightly aggressive but this post goes too far. We should be preaching the ethics of free software first; while always remembering everyday ethics so we don't end up as hypocrites.
From what I'm hearing, Microsoft wants to ban anti-cheat and plenty of other kernel-space software. They are possible security issues (along with all of Windows).
My post you are replying to is absolutely aggressive and was 100% intended to be at the time. I am calmer now though.
The original post was not written with any aggression in mind. Could you expand on how it sounded that way? I didn't feel any aggression until they started namecalling and making unfactual claims.
I thought the end was slightly passive aggressive. It wasn't bad at all.
The other user did namecall first but I think we of the Linux community have to remember we used free software out of ethics. Things seem more rosy and user-friendly comparatively now but you have to remember the people who have the same ethics will "stick it out" regardless of the end user experience.
That definitely is true, we do tolerate a lot of rough edges out of ethics and principals.
Average response when I ask for help with linux on forums. Also pot meet kettle on the attitude dude.
That is a really interesting way of asking for help. Next time I need help, I'll try being obstinate and predetermining that the thing I need help with just doesn't work while calling them a bitch and see how that goes.
I usually try actually asking for help and refrain from calling the person I'm talking to a bitch.
Can none of yall read usernames? Not the same guy, you even went through the effort to quote his message and didn't pick up on it.
A lot of people grew up in a time where the desire for anonymity on the internet was praised and respected, reading usernames unless you had a specific reason to do so was considered strange.
I know I at the very least have to force myself to look at them if it's something that needs doing, as I am conditioned specifically to ignore them.
Not sure what a desire for anonymity on the internet and making sure you're responding to the right person have to do with each other. Been on the internet for 30+ years now.
I'm on mobile, but I stand by what I said. Responding to someone that was responding to someone else that was being obstinate with average response when I ask for help is missing the actual point.
The OP that I quoted wanted to be combative, got a combative response, and then ~~someone else~~ you made it about "asking for help", which is ~~their~~ your fault if ~~they~~ you think that this thread had anything to do with it.
Responding again since your just gonna edit rather than repond. I didn't think it was asking for help, I was joking.
I didn't make it about anything, I was joking. And i assume he was nasty and combative cause he misinterpreted the big goalpost comment as an attack on them.
This isn’t a help forum and I don’t ask for help here you might not understand this but not every game is compatible and there are enough games that aren’t compatible for me to not switch because of it. Some VR games I can just forget Linux. ProtonDB is a good source as well. I think you’re projecting you need help onto me.
Check the username dude wrong person, besides you started the whole thing by accusing them of goalpost moving.
I accused the community as a whole of goalpost moving.
But you're right, i did get the username wrong.
With that being said, I'm not here as community support. Im not offering you or anyone support. I am calling out the inaccuracies and the slander.
Casual backpedal
Read the first post again and tell me how what i just said is a backpedal.
You went from accusing him of goalpost moving to claiming youre accusing the whole community
I listed a bunch of things that have been said by the community in the past, and pointed out that they made a statement that fell into that larger bucket.
So, i would be willing to concede that I lumped them in with the greater whole. But: I did not start with the aggressive namecalling.
Should probably make that clearer next time you copy paste that then, very easy to misinterpret that as a attack. And yeah he was the first to do the name calling I'm not touching that.
I actually hand-typed it, thank you very much.
But, point taken.
And, i could have handled my response better to the namecalling. I should not have let them pull aggro like that.
Nice, admire the effort. Have a nice night.
Yeah because you use the few distributions that work with 4k like I explained. There are enough that literally don’t work because you need a 1920x1080 or similar monitor to then switch DPI to make 4k compatible.
4K monitors don't work in Linux? Lmao that's demonstrably not true.
And what the hell ki d of scripts do you need to run at startup?
Out of the box 4K monitors don’t work on every Linux distribution. You need to modify them after but you can’t if you are using 4K. You need a 1920x1080 or smaller resolution first before you can use 4K. I should have said out of the box you can’t use 4K.
That is literally an outright lie lmao
You don’t know what you’re talking about. Go and check every distros default DPI it’s literally higher than the allocation so it physically can’t work unless you manually change the DPI.
You don't know what you're talking about. 4K monitors work absolutely fine with zero action needed.
