For work computers maybe, but this is PCMR - we're probably here for gaming, and these days Linux is actually better in many ways.

My work actually can't be done on windows :), *NIX only.

My work can't be done on linux (company uses ms ecosystem on purpose, even RDP can't be connected from linux), what exactly your point?

[–] naeap@sopuli.xyz 8 points 3 days ago

Even depends on what kind of work

Besides graphic suites, where Adobe still holds strong, and some specific stubborn companies only pushing windows tools to configure some hardware, I don't see that many work related things being a problem.

Most stuff is office, mail and else often just browser based stuff

We're getting more and more into niche territory, where Linux can't keep up - and even there, it's not Linux' fault

I say, we have a golden year of the Linux desktop ahead of us!!!
And I should know, I keep telling that since 20 years ;⁠-⁠)

Point being that you can't say Linux is better for VR if you can't currently buy a headset that works well on Linux

[–] CeeBee_Eh@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I never said Linux is better. I was just countering your implication that VR on Linux doesn't work.

Well I wasn't talking to you; the comment I originally replied to literally said Linux performance is better.

In many ways. They said "Linux is probably better now in many ways". Not all.

Well I wasn't talking to you;

Then have your conversations in private, guy.
