I think Microsoft is trying to wear us down with stupid shit.
- deafpolygon 3y agoIt is exhausting. But Linux isn't a completely viable alternative. I still want to play games and do other things.
- NovaDudely 3y agoThe games situation is pretty good nowadays, it is amazing just how well Proton can work. But if that one title you want is completely broken, I couldn't sell you Linux at all. I have found it isn't usually the games that are the issue but the utilities. They are almost always alternatives but a lot of the time, you don't want the alternative - you want that specific program. Wine compatibility can be good but it can also be very strange. Notepad++ for instance, it works... but hits my systems CPU harder than GTA V. Go figure!
- NovaDudely 3y agoAbsolutely, it is the reason I am not too positive about the future of computing. Back in the early 2000's it was considered a major privacy issue when Windows XP used to identify what kind of machine you were using for a Security update. It took less than 20 years for that to turn into the dumpster fire we have today. It is a case of our economic system is pitched in such a way as to drive these large companies to this path. In optimizing for shareholder profit, eventually they will go the path of least ethical solution provided they can get away with it. Those that do not do that will be left behind . An absolute shame really.
