    That’s a nice generalization and all, but mostly just a lackluster cop-out that I’ve heard a million times. It’s not like windows is some high and mighty operating system which is the only thing capable of running some software because it’s so awesome. Linux is really good at a lot of things like gaming, security, data analytics, and continues to get better. Lots of money was put into developing windows and making it usable for most people. If more money was put towards the development of Linux for the purpose of <insert your generalized cop-out argument>, you’d have one less thing to bitch about.

      Bro I can’t even load up most games on Linux so saying we should do away with windows is saying we just shouldn’t have video games anymore.

      Linux isn’t there yet and it’s not even close. When it is then I’ll switch but until then windows is just fine and isn’t the boogie man you weird Linux fan boys make it out to be.

        Which games? Have you tried proton? Lutris?

        People like you are lucky things like windows exist because otherwise technology would be totally inaccessible to you, and you’d be banging two rocks together in a cave somewhere.

          People like me? You mean the majority of people on the planet?

          God forbid I just want to play a video game without having to learn the ins and outs of multiple operating systems while I spend half my time troubleshooting why things don’t work.

          Fuck me for wanting 1 part of my life to be easy I guess.

              Why do I need to try? I have absolutely no reason to ditch windows. What exactly can Linux do that windows can’t as far as gaming that requires me to switch?

              I use my computer to browse the web and play video games and there is nothing about windows that makes that harder than it needs to be.

              But yeah, keep being dicks to people on the internet while remaining anonymous because people don’t want to make their life worse by using your preferred OS.

              The Linux community makes me not want to use Linux out of spite.
