Maybe only slightly related but I'm lucky to have fallen into the habit of only using foss software for basically everything (GIMP, Kdenlive, OBS, Shutter Encoder, Upscayl etc) cuz all of them have at least one mean of getting downloaded on Linux natively.
Isn’t it so nice when you think “I would like to edit an image on this computer” so you simply download an image editor and edit the image.
Best part of FOSS, the software is just there waiting for you to use it. Which sounds like a stupid statement to make, but proprietary software only allows you to use it after you have jumped through any number of meaningless hoops.
They don’t even give you any fish for jumping through the hoops either, which every time I tell that to a dolphin they just start laughing at me like I am a fool.
People like you are so irritating. What's the point of doing this? If you wanted to argue about it then why lie to lure people into responding?
It's Linux, fuck's sake, if you want to argue about it just make a top level post writing anything at all about Windows or any distro and you'll have plenty of takers.
I think he perfectly described the lemmy linux community. Windows is not that bad like the people here says. It just takes some time after installation to uninstall the ms crap you dont want. Windows have the best compatibility with the software and hardware. It is a fact.
He's pretending he doesn't want to argue so that people will respond so that he can argue. I don't give a damn what he uses.
The two of you are in linuxmemes unhappy about how Lemmy linux users are being unfair to Windows. Good luck with that, I guess?
You don't need to pretend to want a genuine discussion "oh I do want to try Linux so much" to get an argument. Just be direct, plenty of people will oblige you. You're doing fine, BTW, your position is clear, nobody responding to you about OSes will get anything they weren't expecting.
Actually, yeah, because selling copies is all they care about. And the fact that Epic decided to help get EAC running via Proton back in 2022 shows, that Valve's endeavor does have impact.
Yeah bro, the 4% is reaaally worth it. Linux bros cope so hard. Just enjoy your tinkering instead of acting like you're such a big deal not missing out
where did you get this stat? Do you mean "working" or "verified"? VERY FEW games in my steam library don't work out of the box. I forget to check when I buy them, they work that consistently
Yes. Because Valve put in a lot of work and convinced EAC to add support and collaborated with them to get it added, only for Epic & Tim Weenie himself to immediately do something bad, spread FUD and other such crap.
Your middle school level insult totally means that you have a well reasoned point instead of fanboying for Valve. Don't you have some loot boxes and gambling targeted towards children from Valve to go to?

Nope, because I don't play those games.
Also, Epic literally does that 24/7 with fortnite and other such crap.

I'm not a fanboy for Valve, I don't even play Valve's games. I just recognize that when Tim Weenie fires 1000 employees and then goes "If only we had a few more programmers.
It's the Linux problem. ..." that he's talking out his fuckin ass.
I also recognize that Valve has been putting in a shit load of work into bettering the Linux ecosystem via Proton, The Steamdeck, enticing EAC & Battleye into agreeing to collaborate, among their countless contributions to various Linux related open source projects, such as dxvk, vkd3d, wine, the Linux kernel, etc. even if it's a long term investment on their own part.
There's a reason why it's called proton_eac_runtime and not eac_proton_runtime.
You have to be incredibly out of touch or a blatant Epic games fanboy to disregard the facts like that.
Epic does something you like, it's to Valve's credit since Valve did it first. Valve does something you don't like, it's okay since Epic does it even though Valve did it first and popularized it.
At least your logic is as advanced as your insults.
Gotten us where? You'd think that if they just wanted your money they'd do something else. The fact is your money is as small as the Linux desktop market share.
If you think the entire reason Proton was developed was because they're so desperate for the Linux bros' money then you need to get off your high horse man you're in the gutter.
