You can install Steam on Linux. In fact I have 2 PCs in my house for my sons. They run Windows games flawlessly. See for compatibility in the ProtonDB.
Yeah I installed Garuda yesterday and games worked great. It’s literally everything else that had me wanting a “Linux for fucking morons” class.
Linux gaming is pretty good these days. Basically the only major games you can't play are the ones running super intrusive anticheats.
Windows isn't afraid of tech, but MacOS is? Give me a break, the Unix style terminal is the reason for using MacOS professionally.
Honestly, most windows users I know at least know where their files are stored and stuff like that. Average Mac users don't know if something is synced with the cloud or not and can't unpack a rar archive without calling support because they are deliberately kept dumb by that restrictive, overly oppinionated, lock-in OS and unrepairable, un-upgradable hardware ecosystem. I'm using linux as daily driver on laptop and desktop for almost a decade now and I hate windows with a passion, but mac manages to be even worse. Although windows is also getting worse with every version since win7, so they might be on par soon...
Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.
In my circles it's used exclusively for software engineering. Mostly by people who like Linux but don't wanna deal with any instability brought by customizing your install.
Computers are a tool and people use it for the needs that benefit them.
Yeah this used to be the case up until the early 2000s. Then Microsoft started making Windows much less technical (e.g. instead of showing Error: HRESULT 0x80070002
it just showed Sorry, something went wrong :(
). Conversely, Apple started exposing more tooling for MacOS, e.g. tracing, terminal, etc. instead of just showing <bomb picture>
if something went wrong.
bro why is kali in the "you have no life" section ?? Everyone knows ethical hackers get all the girls
Please, please, PLEASE do not use Kali as a daily driver... The maintainers and the organization and every hacking role-model and educator on the internet says to not use it as a daily driver. You want Debian Testing if you're that worried about having debian-like features but getting a rolling release
I use Arch btw
Guess I don't have a life.
Use btw I Arch.
There's a Lemmy instance where you don't have to say that.
i use linux BECAUSE i fear technology...
maybe more accurately it should be 'understand' technology, but then why would windows be there ?
I'm posting from an actual abacus.
What an odd take.
Every dev I know must be terrified of technology as they all use apple laptops. I don’t love apple but they make a pretty sweet *nix laptop for dev work.
Has Gentoo stopped being the distro of choice for people with too much time on their hands?
It's more about gaming compatibility for me.
I know Linux had been making great progress. But not every game runs well on non mainstream OS's.
I don't know much about it lately, but aren't Fedora and Ubuntu considered bad nowadays? Mint imo was absolutely great every time I used it except for proprietary drivers needing extra reboots(might be different now)
I think Ubuntu has turned to garbage with whatever canonical is doing but I do think Linux Mint is pretty great
AFAIK, Fedora is considered stable and is a great choice.
Fedora just works, it made me stop Distro hopping. I don't want to use something else, but when the day comes on that Red Hat starts making questionable choices, I'll go back to Debian.
