Improved =/= working 100% of the time
Ah, yes, not 100% of the time. You know, like Windows. Thanks for the laugh.
I use Android btw
Gotta get that Bingo Blitz!
Implying that windows is stable, lol
My whole thing even more than (gaming which is huge) is having to relearn how to make everything work. I was (i honestly have to say 'was' ugh) nearly a windows 'power user' for awhile, maybe peaked in my skills getting hardware running, programs and games running until win7 came out and shit just worked.
Nowadays when i go back to fix shit, or even just change a setting i have to relearn how to do it. Am i crazy or do they keep moving shit now? Fucking why? I have windows cuz inertia at this point but if i have to Google how to change basic Windows settings then there's not much stopping me from tossing a match on Windows and walking away
So much shit keeps moving... Usually for NO REASON, even on Android run into it all the time.
Correct. There are still games that don't work because there is actual work being done to make them not work.
I wonder where the problem is... must be Linux' fault.
I am ignorant. Please explain.
DRM in many games doesn't work on Linux. In some cases, like games that use EAC, this is technically just a checkbox at build time where they decide not to support Linux.
There are also some weird libraries and low-level interfaces that refuse to even work through wine/proton, but that's pretty rare nowadays. You have to be actively trying to find something that won't work at all on Linux.
I am ignorant. Please explain.
I assume using anti cheat and not including the files so it works on Linux. I'm of the opinion people shouldn't buy games with anti cheat, but that's just my opinion.
