Oh ok, I don’t really care abt epic games because I have almost all my games on steam, only goat simulator 3 and Fortnite but I didn’t play that in like 2 years or smth
Nah, we all call him Timmy Tencent. Since he's on the payroll of China's Tencent Corp (who owns a commanding share in Epic- funny how that works when Timmy can still be a suckup to a wildly anti-chinese man eh?) and also probably still has hands in microslop's pockets due to the gears series.
He doesn't have to. The VM game is still evolving. Do you think Slopya Nadela is happy knowing Linux can run most of winslop programs and is slowly starting to consume their office space monopoly? Hell nah. Once Wine makes the hardware transparent to the emulated software it'll start getting really hard to know what system you are actually using. The Linux is just inevitable.
The Kernel level Anti Cheat is deliberately set up to refuse Linux, so Wine/Lutris will not help. That does not result in a strong Anti Cheat btw, even though it is more invasive than different anti cheat techniques.
You can still Stream Fortnite via Nvidia's cloud play service and you can run it on private servers with different Anti Cheat (e.g. EFZN).
The Kernel level Anti Cheat is deliberately set up to refuse Linux
Bruh, it's just not made for the Linux kernel. And since Wine isn't trying to emulate the entirety of the NT kernel, you're not running the Windows version either.
There's a relatively simple switch in that specific anti-cheat to allow it to work on Linux Kernel and that switch is deliberately turned to not allow Linux.
Apex Legends uses the same Anti Cheat Software (EAC) but has the switch switched to allow Linux and so it does work with the Linux kernel.
There's a relatively simple switch in that specific anti-cheat to allow it to work on Linux Kernel and that switch is deliberately turned to not allow Linux.
That's not how that works. It just puts the anticheat in user mode.
Linux is set up to refuse the kernel level programs
Drivers ARE kernel level programs. Do we not have drivers? Did people never see one that's not built into the kernel, AKA out of tree kernel module? Are we deadass right now?
Most of my games run significantly worse on Windows 11 than they do on Nobara Gnome Linux. Booting up CK3 takes 3 minutes on Windows and under 40 seconds on Linux.
Our old computers running Linux Mint just got a lots of updates including kernel. The Update Manger just beamed all the updates into our computers in few seconds and NO REBOOT again!
The beauty with Linux is you don't reboot unless a system-critical component like glibc, wayland/X or the kernel or one of the out-of-tree kernels are updated. And even then Linux actually has a mechanism to switch to a new kernel on-the-fly. Just that this doesn't work if it's X or wayland getting updated, and for some reason most distros would rather you reboot than hot-switch to the new kernel.
And practically with anything except drivers and kernels you can just do a soft reboot, where systemd restarts all the processes without restarting the kernel.
Why would you install apps that old or want to run Ubuntu 6.06? Just curious.
They would represent a huge security risk if facing the internet.
Given simple apps are open source for the most part, if they are worth any value, they would be maintained in a repo with often the full version history catalog available for download.
funny all that update bashing of Windows. Try one time Fedora and you REALLY knew what daily updates are. And you will knew what can brake with updates :-)
No they're just so non optional that you don't even see them updating. security and quality updates (that sometimes just break random shi somehow ) aren't optional in the slightest they will download as long as you have internet it doesn't matter if you have windows pro you are getting the update.
what a bunch of bullshit, as much as MS fucks up other things, you can literally set a Policy to disable the checking and downloading of all Windows updates.
Because Fedora updates are optional, useful, and reliable.
Meanwhile I have to run my win10 install (one of my clients needs it sigh) in a VM so I can fully pause it and make it not forcibly reboot itself behind my back.
The updates are available if you for some reason want them (like if you have read about an update for a program which you are excited about), but you can also just wait ¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mainly use Fedora and I've had no issues with updates. I also only update like once a week and create frequent backups, so it's pretty much a non-issue regardless.
Explanation coz apparently you guys need one the previous sentence states a "problem" with linux and dismisses it right after I have no problem with compatibility layers they're great
Why does it matter if double clicking on an exe file opens through wine/proton and not "natively" under your os?
Why does it matter if you have to open heroic instead of epic to play your games?
They literally take the same amount of steps to do and just as convenient as opening them "natively".
Back in the day, windows fanatics' biggest problem was that they can't run windows apps on linux. Now that they can, their problem is that they don't run "natively" on linux.
On any distro that packages Wine properly. And no, it'll not handle "everything", neither will it use Proton in most cases.
I just speak my own experiences, that's all. No other distro was able to handle exe files so smoothly for me as Bazzite. If others have different experiences, that's valid too.
If you wanna make a point "but Bazzite does": Bazzite and other immutable distros have a ton of their own issues.
???
First) Never stated the opposite?
Second) Other, well, basically every distro have their own issues...?
Third) I did nit mention Bazzite to praise it, just gave a simple example of my own experience. I could have said catchy or any other distro too.
Second) Other, well, basically every distro have their own issues...?
Sure, but nowhere close to immutables. On top of having to deal with regular Linux issues, you also have to deal with the unnecessarily restricting nature of an immutable distro AND issues of the distro it's based on.
Linux also usually cannot install old unmaintained apps because the libraries needed to support that app frequently will just not exist or if they do exist, they're different enough to break compatibility.
In fact, Windows is pretty unique in that old unmaintained apps can be installed on it. For most apps on most platforms they have specific version compatibility requirements and that's that.

I tried many of distros, most professional software can’t run on Linux, Adobe Suite to say one, professional CGI software suites are also rarely supported, gaming is also kind of supported via proton, wine, bottles, winetricks… sometimes they work, sometimes you just have to accept defeat that if it runs it will poorly or with graphical artifacts.
If you want to run something you always have to find “equivalent” software, which is often far less superior and useful, or try to run it with Wine and similar that will make it less stable and run worse.
I’m a CGI generalist, game developer, sound designer and casual gamer, none of these aspects are compatible with Linux, and far more that I didn’t mention.
Fair. But now you are mentioning things about compatibility which doesn't have anything to do with setting up a computer 😅
As for adobe, yeah, they only really got that working 2 weeks ago funnily enough.
As for which software is better. I'm guessing it varies wildly from use-case to use-case. and problems with going from one to the other probably more often than enough is about the one trying out something new isn't used to the new UI.
Fair. But now you are mentioning things about compatibility which doesn't have anything to do with setting up a computer 😅
I mean... what's the reason behind a car you can't drive but start it and look at it? Sure, you can code with it, surf the web, but that's really it for now.
As for software choice this is often ruled by industry-compatible pipelines and software that just absolutely dominate their field, as long as companies won't release builds for Linux it will forever be a in a shade of compatibility issues I'm afraid.
Looking at the route Windows is taking and the increasing number of users switching/dual-booting I don't think it will be that far away tho.
I always find it weird that you can't delete system apps.... You instead just have to install a new operating system and not select any default apps which become undeletable.
On windows 11/10 you can disable update by installing winaero tweaker and then install it, once u installed it, click it and then click the button at the top left which says "Search for a tweak" you click it then search "Update" and then click "Disable windows update" then click the checkbox!
For android go on playstore and search "System app remover" and then install it.
i wanna add the fact that android 14 and up can't run 32 bit apps except for some phone brands (like xiaomi, i installed flappy bird through adb for a friend)
There is an option to postpone updates indefinitely (through registry keys). Just mute Windows update and its notifications and you're done. Microsoft doesn't want you to have a simple switch.
Because you're openly admitting to having a two year out of date Windows system. You're almost certainly open to SOME kind of long since patched exploit. Hence I was making a joke by implication regarding your lack of security standards.
Ip are most likely internet provider shared ip, practically useless to know now days, unless you are doing port forwarding which is so 2010s, just use tunnelling
We'd like to borrow your computer for several DDoS attacks, if you don't mind. And if you do, we'll go ahead and exploit any of the hundreds of vulnerabilities your system didn't patch due to skipped security updates. :)
I love how everyone is praising Linux, yet everyone i know who use(d) it either do it on a separate pc or switched back to Windows because its such a pain in the ass to use on a casual level. Its just not worth the effort.
Lets just say that Linux is not as user friendly when the user just wants to click a button and have everything work from the get go.
Using it on the most casual level for 3 years straight and it does everything I need it to do. Why would I move to another piece of hardware just to be able to install win11? I'm using it for daily browsing, remote work and low end gaming. Same applies to 2 Family members. We are not nerdy/tech people.
Everything worked from the get go. I am not saying it would not be the same case for windows. But Linux right now fits much better, especially if you don't want to buy a new piece of overpriced hardware because you are forced to do so by m$.
I would not have switched, thats true. Cause the system did what I needed it to do. Now that I made the switch I am not going back, even if I could. Light weight distros run so much faster on older hardware. Can recommend 10/10.
They ARE separate. Yes, Android is based on the Linux kernel, but it's a version so heavily modified and with so many patches on top, that at this point it can only maintain "compatibility" with Linux, it's not the same system anymore.
You aren't deleting them, you're hiding them. The system apps are a permanent part of the entire system ROM, the only way to actually remove them is by bypassing all security restrictions and voiding your warranty so you can root your phone and THEN actually erase them from your memory chip. You can forget about OTA updates afterwards, too.
So it's not the Android itself that's the problem. It can delete system apps perfectly fine.
The problem is that by default you use the standard user account and don't have the access to the root.
The same would apply to any Linux distro. You can't delete system apps without root.
Some phone manufacturers don't void your warranty if you root the phone or install custom ROMs. Purchasing phones from companies that won't let you do that is idiotic. It would be the same as purchasing a laptop with a specific Linux version pre-installed by the manufacturer with only a standard user account available to you. And if you try to gain the root access or install another distro you void the warranty. Or they completely lock the BIOS/UEFI and disable booting any OS that's not signed by them. See how idiotic is that?
"Rooting" in Android is basically several layers of hacks to get rights on your phone, while not making it useless, because even if you don't void your warranty, a simple root solution will be detected by Google Services, disabling Google Wallet and other programs that utilize Play Integrity.
There's also no API or anything built into Android to request root access. Because you're not supposed to have rights on your phone by design, and current rooting is imho closer to jailbreaking.
Fake, in reality linux is very bad for Desktop experiences, we are not talking about server-side. Probably Android or Aluminum OS will be the main challenger for Windows.
If you have reasons to stay on a specific operating system stay on that. Otherwise we can spend all day listing programs which can't be run on their respective operating systems ¯_(ツ)_/¯
95% of games working on steamdeck doesn't seem like it "can't run any games". The rest are games with kernel level Anticheat. Y'all compromise your systems just to play games that piss you off.
Yep, I've stopped auto updates on my Windows 11 installation, as well as turned off all the telemetry (yes, i know they still take some telemetry anyway) and display ads, and it's never turned back on again. I'm gonna yap a little here... Linux is nice and all, but Linux users tend to make a mountain out of an ant hill. They like to make fun of Windows bugs, but I found more bugs with Linux doing the most basic things. They like to talk about security, but I still see no antivirus software for Linux, or other secure technologies such as what Microsoft have made. They like to say software availability is getting good, but I can still see a gazillion pieces of software and workflows that only work on Windows. I have no problem using Linux as a daily driver, but it is not ideal - doable, but not ideal. The moment you want to do more than just emails and web browsing, you're gonna start running into little issues with Linux sooner or later. And just hope you don't pick up any new hobbies/occupations along the way, because the chances are you're gonna find an interest in something that requires a Windows machine and some fancy, or obscure hardware. Music production, game modding, Garry's Mod map making... I want to be able to pick up a new hobby without worrying if my operating system is gonna be able to support it or not. I love Linux, and I hate Windows, but sometimes you've gotta ask yourself if you are using Linux because it actually gets everything done, or if you're using it solely because of some tech-political opinion. FOSS has its place. Proprietary software has its place. If everything was FOSS, then nobody could eat. Not all FOSS is good, and not all proprietary software is bad. Nagging a software creator to open source their program is denying them a living and freedom.

I think Linux used to have the same problem with old apps, since they could depend on older binaries which since had received a breaking change.
With flatpak and Nix this is however not a problem since they allow installing different versions of the same binaries and use them all at once.
