I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

I can, I just prefer windows
The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux
Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)
Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

Mac owners have money? more like had money
The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich
In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".
Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"
Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.
Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.
I mean, small things like that add up, you want your stack as optimized as possible
A quarter of a second here, another quarter there, and suddenly it might take 2 seconds longer for a connection to form, which matters a ton. A lot of work in the modern web is going into reducing latency
What about Free-BSD?
Have ~~freedom~~ their code stolen by corps
Free bsd users have driver support issues
Shoutout to the 3DS custom theme shop for having a Tuxkart theme
from the linux sucks community?

From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol
Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on
Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.
Old people crew checking in to shout out Tux Racer!
Windows users have regrets
Mac users have stockholm syndrome
Linux users have a computer
Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?
There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.
Eh, even with track creation, I prefer Modnation Racers and its spiritual successor LittleBigPlanet Karting. Shame both games are stuck on the PS3, but then SuperTuxKart still looks like it came out of the PS2. They run well in RPCS3 and online still works for track sharing through fan servers.
Also, I wasn't that impressed by Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled. It does have tons of content, certainly worth the price. Never played the originals and the remake sure does look pretty, but the track design feels pretty simple, probably because they're from a PS1 game. Simple track layouts, few gimmicks. Some people might prefer that, but not me. I'm sure CTR beat the socks off Mario Kart 64 back in the day, but the tracks in modern Mario Kart are to me far more interesting. I expected more out of it given all the hype. Plus, for some unfathomable reason despite being multiplatform the game was only released on consoles, not PC, so that's another game you have to emulate to play on PC. And if you do have a console to play it on, it's locked at 30fps regardless of platform, which is disappointing for a racing game. There's a 60fps mod if you emulate tho, thankfully.
All-Stars Racing Transformed does have my glowing recommendation, though.

Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)

Mario Kart can be fun depending on how your partner is with video games in general and how you are as a couple competitively. Overcooked can also be a good franchise as a coop game but I’ve also heard in some languages it’s referred to as “divorce kitchen” so your mileage may vary.

What the fuck is tuxkart?
Open source kart racer with a bunch of open source mascots as playable characters
TIL I've had Stockholm Syndrome since 1989
If you've consistently only bought products from one company rather than buying the best product available, and never even bothered trying something else, then yes, you do seem to.

I'm a windows user and I don't deny anything. I'm just too lazy to switch to Linux and I need the full functionality of Teams for my job.
