Windows 11 is for video games and Excel, not running docker compose and servers. Windows Server is for running servers.

    If you’re some linux hardliner then that’s what your world looks like, sure. Windows Server is for running Windows servers.

  Do you think gamers want any of that?
• bsuvc 6mo ago
  Except developers run docker compose locally all the time. And even if I am just using Excel, my work still deserves to be respected by the operating system.

      Do laptops and hibernate not exist where you live? Do lightning strikes reset your computer monthly?
      • pathartl 6mo ago
        Not that I disagree with you, but some of us still use desktops because laptops don't always get the job done. That being said, how hard is it to hit ctrl-s

          I originally wrote "and UPSes" but naïvely thought, "surely I can elide that for brevity" As for ctrl-s, wasn't running docker containers as a developer a prominent part of this conversation?

        I don’t know where you live, but where I live, my Windows admins send me notifications about planned upgrades.

      I've a solid UPS.
      • throw1234567891 6mo ago
        so you know what I mean

  My clients didn't get the memo
  • throw1234567891 6mo ago
    Have they gotten the memo reminding them “schedule and execute your updates to avoid waking up to a login screen”? I feel sorry for you having to work with clients who run production workloads on Windows 11.

    Coverage is still partial because some VERY popular games do not run on Linux due to anti-cheat
    • simoncion 6mo ago
      I'd say that coverage is very, very substantial, but incomplete because some games use anti-cheat that is either extremely invasive and heavily relies on Windows internals, or is anti-cheat that the devs have configured to reject running in Proton.
      • protoster 6mo ago
        Yes, it's very good. However, basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category.
        • anonymars 6mo ago
          BTW as someone increasingly fed up with W11 and thus feeling homeless: how well does VR work?
        • simoncion 6mo ago
          > basically-every-current-multiplayer-shooter is a big missing category. Weird. I've been playing many multiplayer shooters from Proton with my Windows-using friends. I suppose this is one of those "am I friends with people who pretty much only play CoD or Fortnite?" things.

      Anything you'd want to play runs on Linux. One that people keep commenting on is Battlefield 6, which has an absolutely perfect user experience in Linux. If you play it on Windows it's a slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess that barely works is just no fun at all. On Linux, it's perfect. It doesn't work at all, so you don't waste any time trying to enjoy the slow, buggy, crashy, half-finished mess.
