    You can literally say the exact same thing with Windows. That’s how you Linux peeps feel, constantly yelling “why are you using windows! Stop having fun!”

    Is windows perfect? Nah. But does it work most the time? Yeah. All the removed about windows being shit and yet my 300+ installed games all work… Crazy…

    How about just let people use what they like and shut up with the damn “my OS is better than yours” nonsense?

    It’s posts like this, that even though I’ve used Linux in the past, make me immediately think “nah, fuck that, I’ll stick to windows. I don’t want to deal with those people.”

    You’re more of a harm than help.

      I’ll stick to windows. I don’t want to deal with those people."

      That’s a strange conclusion to come to, installing an OS doesn’t come with the obligation to deal with anyone.

      I like to play games on Steam but that doesn’t mean I have to deal with the atrocity that is the Steam forums.

        Oh, being annoying to casual user makes them anti to whatever we promote.

        The keyword is being moderate and helpful. Not forceful or annoying.

      I’m def a windows hater but i dont fault people for using it. Most folks arent gonna know how to install a diffrent os or even want to if what they have already works.

      Use what you like and what works.

      I’d say around half of the games I play on Linux require some kind of special launch script, specific Wine version, or even different versions of Steam to run properly. It’s nowhere near as simple as people make it out to be.

        You must have an odd selection of games. For me, 90% of the time I just click play on Steam and it works.

        IDK man, I was sticking with windows strictly for gaming purposes but ever since I got my steam deck I haven’t had a single problem and any inconvenience is grossly outweighed by windows GD updates and halting the entire system to show an ad… on my $150 copy of windows…. I’m not saying every game will play that’s just objectively wrong but I am saying you either won’t notice or will easily find something that does work, also I don’t think people pay attention to how much tinkering it takes to get older windows games to work.
