I love Foss and Linux, but to be honest I recently switched back to Windows 10 from Ubuntu and some other distros, cuz gaming issue and some hardware issue and nvidia issue. Linux needs lots and lots of improvements.
And then there's you Wayland fanatics. Gah!
Linux needs lots and lots of improvements for decades, but as we know, it'll be Linux day on the desktop tomorrow.
The feeling I get from the linux community is one that screams insecurity and desperation.
Yeah.
If you must game, get a console. Computers are not toys. FFS, you whiny gamers all sound the same.
Computers are quite literally whatever the fuck we want them to be
I built mine from scratch to be my estranged father come back into my life again.
Runs decent but ngl there are better options.
Still better than running windows so you can waste a PC on bloody games.
Running an inferior and privacy invading OS just to waste all that expensive equipment on gaming. It’s such a waste it’s offensive.
I mean, I can understand the spirit of what they were getting at. It is a bit exhausting that in the tech community gaming comes up all the damn time as a demerit in the MacOS/Linux space (while the later is pretty painless lately) as though its the majority usecase. Heck, many deem Macs as "useless" because they aren't a target platform for gaming devs.
Calling gamers "whiny" is a touch harsh. Sure, buying a console makes sense for a good section of consumers. If they plan to buy a device that is only for gaming, is easy to use, and is relatively cheap I could get it. Especially since many game studios seem to focus on optimizing for consoles and don't fill their titles with weird anti-piracy garbage on them.
Wait til this guy realises what consoles are under the hood
