Imagine still tolerating Windows in 2022

• seabrookmx 4y ago
  Some people play video games. Some people want to use the Adobe suite on user upgradable hardware. If you come out of your bubble you'll see there's plenty of reasons to still use Windows (typing this in Firefox running on Fedora, FWIW).

    I play video games. Things have actually changed a heck of a lot in the last couple of years and seem to be accelerating thanks to the Steam Deck. 90% of the games I care about now work fine in Linux, sometimes with a little massaging (there are also now many more tools and forum posts to help with this). Modding certain things is occasionally the biggest impediment but that too is getting easier thanks to stuff like https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch https://github.com/frostworx/steamtinkerlaunch , which if you use the Flatpak Steam can be installed via the app installer right alongside it.

      You're describing a worse user experience than gaming on Windows. Single player games on Steam is a best case scenario.. Blizzard games, or games with anti cheat are a total pain to run or won't run at all. This is why people tolerate Windows in 2022. I'm not saying I like it, I was just trying to answer your question :)

  The great thing about Windows is that you can install another browser and set it to default. You don't have to use Edge.

    and then every other update it "accidentally" gets set back to Edge
