Gamer here, use Linux cause proton is good and I’m fed up with windows lolThis is probably an old meme. I use Linux as a dedicated gaming OS, macOS for everything else except when Linux is already booted or nothing is and I want to do something quickly.
It’s so old you can see the age on the image itself, lots of artifacting
Why not Linux for everything else? Art apps?
Because I just prefer macOS more. And Safari is good.
In my case, Inventor and AutoCAD. I hate AutoDesk with the fury of a thousand suns, but FreeCAD just isn’t stable enough.
Oh, and currently needing .NET automatic source generation (long story), which is very difficult to develop on anything other than Windows.
Proton is so fucking good these days
I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.
I don’t use Apple because I don’t like to be stuck in a walled garden where a company decides what’s best for me.
I know it’s just a meme, but I think too many people actually think Linux is somehow inferior to Apple (MacOS) while I think it’s the other way around.
You’re confusing iOS, where you are in a walled garden, with macOS, where you can just do whatever the hell you want (There’s a recovery partition you can boot to where you can disable just about every bit of security that’s not hardware much like booting to grub in Linux)
You’re right, although I wouldn’t be surprised that at some point MacOS will have a mandatory app store to protect you.
I kind of really dislike the notion that you only use Linux because you are too poor for Apple.
It’s supposed to be funny 🤷 😂, like a very simplified version of how things actually are.
When MacOS users can snap windows to the edge of their screens and quit apps by hitting the red button we can have a chat about what the better desktop experience is
snap windows to the edge of their screens
While it’s not a feature out of the box, there is software to add this functionality to macOS. But… same on Linux. You need to install that software if you want the feature. (Gnome/i3/other choice with this functionality.) So 🤷♂️
The most popular software to do that is proprietary and you have to buy it. For Apple you are only a demi-sentient wallet and they are constantly trying to dry you up. I hate that with a passion.
Also. MacOS is absolute garbage. I’ve used it for 4 months now, and it pisses me off how inconsistent it is, and poorly designed and written. Two days wasted because of an almost bricked laptop because the monitor was set to 60Hz while installing an update. Just think about that.
I also had the misfortune of booting into windows after changing a motherboard. It was an absolute shit show there too, with broken drivers. Two hours of debugging. Had to use a long ethenet cable to even start fixing it, a flashback to a Linux experience I had in 2007.
Same system in Linux? Not a single second spent. WiFi drivers, microcode. Everything worked fine. Only thing necessary was fixing the grub/mbr partition that Windows decided to write over, on a separate drive. But that’s also Microsoft being shit.
People just don’t know how much more usable Linux is these days. Especially for power users. You can do so many things, so easily, that either works out of the box, or you can do with simple scripting. The only issue is software availability, but that too is mostly a thing of the past, and not really a fault of the OS.
Yes, I agree. Just holy cactus, MacOS is just so bad these days. The inconsistency us driving me nuts. Why do the windows you open with the “help” menus inside of apps have small buttons? Why do some apps (e.g. Music) have a Search entry on the left side, and why do so have it on the left? Why do we still have tons of icons for system apps (Photo Booth, I’m looking at you) who have been programmed in a time where there have been dinosaurs around and seem to have never changed? … And so on. Like honestly, MacOS is so much better that Windows (which admittedly isn’t hard), but when I open up my good ol’ Fedora I dont have the feeling that I see a new shiny operating system, and when I click on a wrong button I am in the 1990-s again. Or 2050-s. Or God knows where. Linux has its unique set of challenges, but I fully agree that the notion that “MacOS is better than the rest” just isn’t true anymore. Maybe it was, when Linux distributions were worse and there was more money put into bugfixing OS releases. But not anymore.
Not good enough for DRM games, most mmo games or playing on private servers in minecraft or something.
Minecraft works perfectly fine, pretty sure it runs natively on Linux actually.
Its java based right?
Java is famously cross-platform. It even means you can run a Minecraft server on Arm64 without issue. I currently have a heavily modded Minecraft server hosted on an Ampere Alta VPS without a single hitch
Java version is the easiest to run on Linux. I have seen that people have gotten Bedrock to work but it looks a lot harder to get running and has more limitations.
Cool Edge Lord points, bruh.
most mmo
I play WoW, SWTOR, and New World just fine.
Which MMOs were you thinking about?
minecraft (java, not sure about bedrock) on linux is flawless, private servers work exactly as they do on windows.
If the DRM or anticheat needs low enough level access that it won’t run in wine I don’t think I really want it running on my computer either way.
I think it’s almost at the point where the only games that don’t work are games with anti cheat that refuse to play nicely.
Do you fear God?
Yes -> TempleOS
In puberty? Hannah Montana Linux.
Kim Jong Un is god? Red Star OS. There’s a Linux distro for everyone.
Are you sus?
Yes --> AmogOS
catgirl? UWUNTU
This flowchart is wrong.
If I follow this reasoning, I should be running windows. I am not running windows, Ergo, either it is incorrect or I am incorrect. And I refuse to believe I’m incorrect.
logic-gate-keeping
no its NOT
My comment is still compiling from source
lol 🤣🤣🤣
I use Void Linux because I don’t have too much free time (for figuring out all the little moments with configuring something more automated like Debian for my laptop, or for compiling stuff in Gentoo, or for micromanaging Slackware).
Void saves you compiling time as well 👍.
This is a old meme
You can tell because it suggests Linux isn’t for gamers but Valve has its own game console that runs on Linux. It’d be pretty stupid if a game console couldn’t run games.
I had a friend about 25 years ago who was very much into Quake Arena. His gaming setup ran on BSD. Now that I’ve been gaming on Linux for several years, I’ve really come to appreciate how much work it must have been to get that setup running smoothly in the late 90s. He died a couple of years ago. I sometimes wish I could call him up and get some advice.
Linux gaming is better than Windows imo. No tracking, random bsod, shit just either works or it doesn’t. If it doesn’t, you make it work.
Eh? I don’t get BSODs because my compositor simply crashes (requiring a system restart, as the compositor will crash again if restarted) or my graphics driver hangs. Can’t remember the last time I bluescreened on Windows except for when I was testing an unstable RAM overclock.
I won’t say Linux gaming is better than Windows, but I will say it’s good enough that I don’t miss Windows at all even after a few years.
The only time I’ve seen a bsod in the last 10 years was because of faulty RAM that would’ve crashed any OS just as hard.
This is Fedora erasure
whats that at the end?
I knew nothing about linux 2 years ago and started with installing Debian on my surface go 2. This explains why I couldn’t get the web cam to work to this day.
i play games sometimes and gimme mint
Reject modernity, return to typewriters
I am one of the few who once had BSD installed on a laptop, and GOD DAMN do I miss being that weirdo.
