Imagine still using Windows after all the shit they’ve pulled over the years.

I switched to pop os recently and I’m never going back to Windows. It’s easier now than ever to switch to Linux, even for gamers. Steam, proton, and wine have made running your Windows apps and games in Linux so easy. You’d have to have a very specific use case to justify staying with Windows now.

Here’s a fun one: I own two video capture devices, an Elgato HD 60 S and an Avermedia LiveGamer Portable 2. Both do not work in Linux. I found a simple USB HDMI capture device that works in Linux and cost a fraction of what thosmother overhyped ones cost me. It works way better than they ever did. That was one of my last adjustments. I can still stream my Switch and PS5 on Twitch, no problem.

That’s a pretty niche use case and it was easy.

Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.

Microsoft can’t be bothered to make a single, unified control panel but they have resources to work on shit like this.

anteaters ,

That’s what you get for using windows - software that might allow you to use your computer.

Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don’t own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you’re one of those strange BSD folks.

Ik this is sarcastic but the video games issue is real regardless of Proton and its derivatives on Linux. Windows really is the best way to game right now

NotYourSocialWorker ,

I feel that this very much depnd on which games you’re playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.

I’ve heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn’t anything I’ve myself has investigated.

Gaming is one of my main intrests and I’ve been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It’s not for everyone I guess.

Perfide ,

It’s great that it works for what you play, but it doesn’t for me. Hopefully the steamdeck train continues to pick up steam, because it’s pretty much the only reason Linux gaming is gaining ground.

I play Apex Legends ranked. It runs better on pop os than win11 on my PC.
