TBH Windows is like the only operating system you should NOT play Valorant on. It’s pretty easy to bypass the rootkit and run it on virtual system.

Rayspekt ,

Is Vanguard really hacked already? That would be so funny.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

There’s no “hacked already”. it’s a constantly updated. Anti cheats get bypassed all the time but they get patched in a day or two.

FiniteBanjo ,

It doesnt have to be hacked or cracked or decompiled or any of that.

If you know what it checks for to see if a machine is virtual, you can change a couple settings and it can no longer tell that it doesn’t have Kernal.

Tell us them so I can play it on bazzite.

Eyck_of_denesle ,

You are just saying words

Eyck_of_denesle ,

This is a straight up lie. Vanguard is most difficult one to bypass and running it on vm is not difficult but impossible. Where did you even hear about running valorant on anything other than windows?

FiniteBanjo ,

Lmfao

It checks for like 5 flags and you’re in. TBH it’s not even that good at its purpose, just puts users at unnecesary risks.

i was held back a while because no Roblox on Linux but I’ve resorted to using my phone if i really want to(ps: little mad at Roblox for killing off vinegar and the rest).

Have fun.

pewgar_seemsimandroid ,

finnaly I don’t have to deal with using experimental Wayland to be unable to play Roblox because of internet issues, and a system update basically deleting waydroid.

Anarki_ ,

I don’t want to dual boot, mainly because of the risk of Linux randomly eating my Windows install.

wfh ,

Windows randomly nuking the EFI partition is very much more a reality.

Anarki_ ,

So it can go either way, they can both eat eachother?

Does this happen even if they’re on separate harddrives?

wfh ,

I’ve never heard of Linux destroying a Windows partition unless there’s a blatant user error.

Robin ,

I’d be more worried about the windows bootloader deciding to overwrite grub

communism ,
@communism@lemmy.ml avatar

Ive literally never heard of that. Windows can overwrite grub/your bootloader though (easy fix, just boot into a live usb and reinstall grub).

If Linux eats your Windows install that’s a serious bug. That means it’s overwritten data on a drive that’s not even mounted, without you directing it to do so.

Anarki_ ,

Disclaimer: I’m not knowledgeable about the “under the hood” things on Linux OR Windows. I’ve just heard it can happen and really don’t want that for myself.

But I guess anything can happen…

Cris16228 ,

Windows 11? I have Windows 10 in dual but using Linux only, I just don’t want to remove everything even if Windows is shit… I’m only disappointed there’s no Affinity Designer on linux :( I know it’s full of alternatives but I like the UI and I’m used to it

I’ve just spent the last 6 hours troubleshooting steam input on 3rd party flatpaks, also alacarte has a bug that doesn’t let you save property changes, also I can’t use vim as root anymore for some reason I don’t care to look into, also symlinking some of my media was a pain. Band-aid solutions have been found for the first 3 and the last was me being an idiot and not having a GUI solution to symlinks because Nautilus is arse compared to ms file explorer.

I fucking hate pop-os and flatpaks, cosmic launcher is a pile of junk, and my 4k monitor has created an infinite amount of scaling issues to work through.

Windows was a slow burn of minor inconvenience, Linux is a series of kicks in the nuts.

This is exactly why I’m not using windows on this box. Too much hassle.

@Cosmonaut_Collin@lemmy.world avatar

I suppose you could just use arch Linux to get away from pop-os and flatpaks.

My experience with Win10 for what I use my computer for has been far less janky than any Linux distro I’ve tried, and I’m past the stage of my life where I could spend hours and hours troubleshooting and enjoying it.

As for Win11… I may very well made the dreaded switch to Linux when Win10 officially loses updates. I just wish Linux had viable alternatives to a lot of Windows software that wouldn’t result in my workflow being significantly altered in a way that will require watching countless god awful tutorial videos and going through forum nonsense.

Like for sure Windows has its problems but we shouldn’t pretend Linux and the community don’t do a lot of things that massively turn off new users.

Want regular ass people to switch from Windows to something new? Check out how/why Mac OS is so popular among those who’ve switched from Windows, and perhaps there’s some things of value there that the Linux community can learn from.

The Linux community is packed with toxicity and a stubborn insistence that it’s nothing but helpful and if a user has a problem, it’s always their fault and never the distro’s fault.

Laptop shows your unlocked screen briefly when you open it before unlocking? Never had that issue with Windows, Macs, but on Linux this happens with Ubuntu when installed on several Thinkpad models.

And nearly every response to this problem on Linux forums is "you must be doing something wrong" or casually telling a new user 'just switch to DingOS 3.14 bro, it’s what I use and I’ve never had an issue" like that’s NOT a major pain in the ass for the average user.

Windows 11 may be the first major version of Windows that I never use on my own personal rig. I’ve used 98, XP, 7, 8/8.1, and 10 throughout my life. But I’ve got no reason to touch 11 when Arch (or fill in with your distro of choice) with KDE exists. It’s just a much better experience.

Shoot, even my daughters share a computer with endeavorOS+KDE installed and they have no problems using it. Windows 11 would refuse to even install on that same machine.

Taleya ,

Ugh, my field (tech) means i have to have more than a passing familiarity with it

SilentObserver ,

It’s definitely different if you’re getting paid for it. I plan to get into I.T. within the next year or two if I can, so I’m sure I’ll have to get familiar with Windows 11.

I mean, technically I do use Windows 11 daily at work. Gotta be able to order stuff, send emails, and manage my time card. All that is done on a Windows 11 PC. But nobody is paying me to put it on my home PC, so I’m not going to.

iLL_Behaviour ,

Been on Mac for years now. I love hot corners.

Gnome is better in my experience

yamanii ,
@yamanii@lemmy.world avatar

I’m playing Wuthering Waves that is a more fair genshin impact and the dev is actively blocking Linux so far, so I’m not switching.

Strangely enough mihoyo themselves are letting linux players alone nowadays, both Genshin and ZZZ work without needing a VM, but they were also hostile against them in the beginning with genshin.

Thankfully I managed to purge gacha games from my life despite all the sunk cost feeling. God I miss the times when entertainment was innocent and not trying to rob me

shira ,

fyi, wuwa stopped blocking Linux about a month ago, it runs on base proton now without tinkering, tho I can’t guarantee it will keep working

arin ,

Auto HDR… I have one HDR monitor and one SDR monitor and w11 plays nicely, Nvidia app still won’t work with more than one monitor for their version of auto HDR

possiblylinux127 ,

It is getting there. KDE has support and I think gnome is not to far behind

goblinsharksama ,

Only reason i keep a windows box around. Valorant and tft

Johnmannesca ,
@Johnmannesca@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, but installing the android sdk though

JeffKerman1999 ,

I mean playing games on manjaro is ok, the problem is modding fallout 3/nv

Zink ,

This needs an extra top panel with the dude just chilling with no makeup, maybe reading a “clown makeup for dummies” book. The caption is “my last Windows machines are barely working but they know what happens if I have to ‘fix’ anything.”

That’s where I’m living right now. The PC I use all day is already Linux.

Lanky_Pomegranate530 ,

I dual booted Linux Mint with Windows 10 on my gaming laptop so that I wouldn’t have to upgrade to Windows 11 or buy a new computer.
