In my experience, most Windows-exclusive games work just fine under Wine. It’s not that big a deal.

This thread isn’t even about Windows games per se, but about a few games whose anti-cheats are screwing over Linux users.

Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don’t respect their players and nothing else?

Edit: wording

I stand corrected. Still gross asf though.

Same. This place has serious “I use Ubuntu btw” vibes for me.

Why is Archland (btw) so small? Where’s Manjaroland, EndeavourOSville, etc?

What specs do you have that makes GIMP load in 2 milliseconds?

Ugh, Chr*me. Disgusting.

Also, they called themselves National Socialists. After all, would a government ever lie?

Tell me you’re new to Linux without telling me you’re new to Linux.

Ack, my deleted comment is visible somehow!

…Anyway, I agree. I wasn’t saying it’s necessarily bad, just that there seemed to be an influx of new posts that sound like they came from Linux virgins.

I tried vanilla Arch once as a VM and got stuck.

I might try it again one day. For now, EndeavourOS is a good middle ground between Arch itself and Manjaro.

How is that different from being afraid of terminals?

It’s not like you have to learn everything there is to it at once, you know.

Probably Windows 10 or something equally predatory.

I use EndeavourOS btw

Is it just me, or are the more active posters here actually Windows refugees who haven’t used Linux for too long?

“that project is dead”

“enjoy your zero-day”

“update! local vulnerability patched!”

“i NEED the cloud version”

“old software is not secure”

I think the only reason Windows users are afraid of terminals is that they’re not used to them. They’re not that bad. Most terminal programs have a -(-)help command that shows you what you can do as well, in case you get stuck.

There is more variety of content here IMO. I like seeing more international posts even if i dont aleays understand the language or the context.

Wait, really? I’m having trouble finding non-English stuff even after sorting by new and subbing to non-English coms…

Stuff that’s helped me so far:

• sudo paccache -r
• ncdu ( you may have to install it first )
• pacman -Qqdt
• Konmari’ing my computer occasionally.
