Using Windows to play CoD is like being in a polyamorous relationship, where everyone just loves to abuse you

Aermis ,

I feel attacked lol my reason was literally COD. That and I haven’t had the capacity to dive into running Linux yet…

thisbenzingring ,

For a couple of my friends, it Destiny 2. What a lame game to cling to

Gerudo ,

Yeah, how dare they have fun playing a game they want.

Lucidlethargy ,

Don’t they know about Linux?!?11!

tfw_no_toiletpaper ,

It has the best FPS raids mechanics imo

thisbenzingring , (edited )

LoL people on a Linux subreddit supporting a game that doesn’t work on Linux only because the developers don’t want it to. And actively ban Linux users, pretending it’s for keeping cheaters off but that’s laughable.

Gumus ,

There are only a few mouse models that fulfill my requirements and software support for them is bad even on windows. I’m currently on Razer and Roccat, the software is slow, heavy and convoluted, but it’s the only way to use the devices to their full potential. There’s no way to get the drivers for Linux and that’s a deal breaker for me.

jol ,

Is this for real or a joke? I can’t tell anymore.

DerisionConsulting ,

There are some mice and keyboards with proprietary software that only works in windows.

But unless you have a special input device because of a disability, not using an os because of a mouse/keyboard feels like a joke

jol ,

Like driving a shitty car because you really like a certain brand of seat covers.

But don’t Razer products actually have a decent support on Linux?

jadedwench ,

I think this view is a little short sighted. I am glad that you don’t seem picky about your peripherals, but they are very important to others. As someone with a disability, if my mouse didn’t work on Linux, I wouldn’t even bother trying. I have spent a lot of money on peripherals and them working in Mac and Windows, but not Linux would be utterly rage inducing. It is irritating enough that I can’t adjust the dpi in Linux, but it is at least usable. I am still salty that every single pair of headphones I own use proprietary codecs that are not supported.

I absolutely do not blame anyone for not using Linux if their peripherals do not work. I get that it is the “fault” of proprietary drivers. Unfortunately, some devices are not popular enough or too difficult for someone in the Linux community to want to work on it. I don’t blame the community either. However, telling someone they can’t use their mouse or keyboard the way it was intended isn’t going to convince anyone to use Linux.

My point is, hardware costs money, is a physical device that you touch for hours at a time, and is configured to make your life easier. Tactile and ergonomic comfort is important. Macros, lights, and dpi settings are important to some people. For me, it is just dpi and smooth scrolling. Not everyone is happy with a cheap mouse and keyboard or wants to throw perfectly functional electronics in the bin.

write a new driver for it

their ecosystem of apps is buggy as fuck.

teams and outlook always gives me headaches.

@Tlaloc_Temporal@lemmy.ca avatar

Ugh, outlook has been dropping support for email standards for a while now, it’s getting close to a proprietary standard now.

Lucidlethargy ,

Teams is genuinely hot garbage. Outlook is actually far worse, even… The latest versions are buggy and broken.

First person to come up with a time machine, can you make your first trip back to the early 80s and buy 86-DOS and open source it before Bill gets his grubby hands on it?

Petter1 ,

…and make it unix based, for good lord, I hate CMD/ps commands

Spiralvortexisalie ,

Plot twist, you have to partner with Richard Stallman for the first open source licensing to get off the ground and end up with GNU plus BSD and its all powershell commands.

Petter1 ,

😱😭😫🤬

pressanykeynow ,

Probably wouldn’t work as GPL license was published much later in 1989.

barsquid ,

Imagine traveling back in time and casting 21st century witchcraft like the AGPL.

Qwazpoi ,

I get cheap hardware. A hardware intensive OS seems stupid to me. I want my computer running the programs that I want, not wasting memory and CPU usage on the OS instead.

Plus I’ve gotten a notification on every laptop I own from Windows telling me to upgrade followed by something saying that they are below specs for the upgrade

barsquid ,

“Time to upgrade!”

“Ok…”

“Sike! Buy a new machine so we can force you to subscribe to it.”

HDR and VR, that’s it. And everything that isn’t gaming happens on my Framework laptop running NixOS anyways.

BCsven ,

Adobe, OK. SolidWorks? Nah. NX is a higher-end CAD solution (costs more though) and runs on RHEL or SUSE

Dadifer ,

Yay! SolidWorks was literally the last thing keeping me on Windows

Edit: Um, why does the Siemens website say it only supports the license server since 2020?

BCsven ,

Not sure, they changed license server types recently for newest NX. But new server should support backwards. They have NX12 linux GUI version supported , latest NX release only runs Linux batch NX—for who know why

CuriousRefugee ,

I miss NX. My company uses SolidWorks, and it’s…okay, I guess? But I’m aggravated on a weekly basis because it doesn’t do something that NX could. But cost is the issue. I think you can get like 5 SW licenses for the cost of a single NX one.

BCsven ,

Siemens has a 3 to 1 model license option now. Up to 3 users of Solid Edge, but if they check theirs all in, you can pull 1 NX license. A nice compromise for when you need more power

jaaake ,

Adobe works pretty good on another non-Windows OS…

Fusion360 is the only software I use that I cannot get running on Linux. So my wife’s last macbook now lives to play Tidal in our garage and run NoMachine so I can remote into it for Fusion.

Gumus ,

I switched from Fusion to Onshape and it’s been a treat. The option to use it on an Android tablet is a great bonus.

Public only storage is a dealbreaker for me.

tfw_no_toiletpaper ,

Tarkov and Destiny 2 mainly.

Also I have a laptop I use from time to time running mint, few games installed. The games itself work okayish but the amount of times I need to “fix” some bullshit is annoying. Last things I remember were the touchpad being wonky and games having extreme tearing on HDMI, no matter if vsync was on or off.

I might try pop os some time but honestly my windows machine runs mostly without fault for years now (just cannot use any gpu drivers after march 24, but that’s on nvidia) and at the end of the day I just want to consoome without fiddling in settings every time.

Lumisal ,

Tryp BazziteOS next instead of Pop. It’s a Linux OS that’s designed for gaming and comes with all drivers, emulators, proton, etc out of the box. Also based on Fedora, which in my experience does better in the gaming department.

tfw_no_toiletpaper ,

Thanks, I’ll save this comment and try it out when I switch

Unreliable ,

Yeah I can back this. I switched to Bazzite about 6+ months ago after messing with Linux on the Steamdeck and I haven’t looked back.

BmeBenji ,

oooooooohohohohohoho you really got me with that last one.

Though at least I’m only addicted to R6: Siege and not CoD or Valorant like a fucking pleb

Edit: a MASSIVE /s I do unironically love Siege and it is actually what’s keeping Windows installed on my PC, but I admit it’s in no way a good reason to keep malware on my machine

Presi300 ,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

I knew it was a /s the moment you mentioned you like valorant… Nobody hates themselves that much

hipsterdoofus ,

AutoHDR/SpecialK, AFMF, proper scaling on multiple monitors with mixed resolutions, Freesync

In time I’ll switch, but for me the extra gaming features on W11 are just nice.

Presi300 ,
@Presi300@lemmy.world avatar

But all of these things, except AutoHDR (coming soon tm) already exist on linux though… Scaling and Freesync, especially haven’t been an issue on linux for a while if you use the right desktop (KDE Plasma or GNOME on wayland)
