Not using Windows kinda solves this problem. It also solves many other problems lol
Including the problem of having too many games to choose from 😉
1996 wants its hot take back
And that's 2023 on the phone, it would like its uncomfortable facts shown.
You need to change your username; you're not debatable, you can't even write a coherent sentence.
Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA game titles.
Nobody cares
You care enough to write ignorant comments about it.
I'm sorry the truth hurts you so deeply. You should probably seek council.
Lol you do
I'll take "COMEBACKS THAT AREN'T ACTUALLY CLEVER" for $800, Alex!
As if the original response was any smarter 🤣
I have about 900 games not counting emulation.
My philosphy is that if the game doesn't run on Linux, it isn't worth playing, because most games do work, and the ones that don't, are usually because the Anti-Virus the game uses. Which in EAC case, to enable playing on linux is just a button click (iirc).
Cool. Have fun with that philosophy.
Lol, you're not wrong. There will always be idiots trying to gaslight here, though.
It's not evil to eat meat - - erm, I mean... Use windows! I don't even fucking like windows, but like... Yeah, I like to game and that's the easiest platform to game on.
Exactly this. I'm getting plenty of downvotes and people claiming I'm talking crap but when I tried the Linux gaming life, I couldn't even get Minecraft to work. Freaking Minecraft. And it only continued downhill from there. I make no claim that it's not possible to game on Linux, only that it's often such a chore that your entire planned gaming session can end up being a session of reading through forums filled with snide comments from pretentious Linux fanboys instead. I started as a console gamer and the fear of PC gaming was always that PC gaming can be a nightmarish tinker fest but Windows is much more click-and-play than Linux in my-and-most-people's experience.
Aaand there's the insult. Well done invalidating your already flimsy argument. Have a nice day
People will call you what you act like.
So you're gonna pretend you didnt reply to my other comment where I mentioned that Linux has steam and supports 98% of AAA titles so you can play the victim now?
Being too ignorant to figure out how to set up Minecraft and giving up after 2 minutes doesn't back up ypur shit talking about Linux.
I'm not playing victim. You were needlessly rude. And for your information, I wasn't ignorant, I didn't spend "two minutes" trying to figure it out. I reached out to Mojang support who told me they don't have a support department and couldn't help. The few suggestions on I found on forums at the time didn't work. So frankly, you're sounding exactly like one of the usual pretentious asshats on the Linux forums who refuses to face the fact that an OS shouldn't be so overly complicated that it requires any more than a couple of clixks to run the best selling game of all time. No amount of defensive fanboying from you is going to change that.
Oh dear, your usual trash talk didn't go your way this time, did it?
What delusion are you feeding yourself this time? What's funny is it's not even like I've said Linux is bad for you to be this butthurt.
Try harder
