If you’re not supporting my OS then I’m not giving you my money. Plain and simple.
you really showed them
Actually, yeah, because selling copies is all they care about. And the fact that Epic decided to help get EAC running via Proton back in 2022 shows, that Valve’s endeavor does have impact.
Even when Epic does something good it’s to Valve’s credit?? Come on now
Yes. Because Valve put in a lot of work and convinced EAC to add support and collaborated with them to get it added, only for Epic & Tim Weenie himself to immediately do something bad, spread FUD and other such crap.
Tim Weenie lmfao
Your middle school level insult totally means that you have a well reasoned point instead of fanboying for Valve. Don’t you have some loot boxes and gambling targeted towards children from Valve to go to?

Nope, because I don’t play those games. Also, Epic literally does that 24/7 with fortnite and other such crap.

I’m not a fanboy for Valve, I don’t even play Valve’s games. I just recognize that when Tim Weenie fires 1000 employees and then goes “If only we had a few more programmers. It’s the Linux problem. …” that he’s talking out his fuckin ass.
I also recognize that Valve has been putting in a shit load of work into bettering the Linux ecosystem via Proton, The Steamdeck, enticing EAC & Battleye into agreeing to collaborate, among their countless contributions to various Linux related open source projects, such as dxvk, vkd3d, wine, the Linux kernel, etc. even if it’s a long term investment on their own part.
There’s a reason why it’s called proton_eac_runtime and not eac_proton_runtime.You have to be incredibly out of touch or a blatant Epic games fanboy to disregard the facts like that.
Epic does something you like, it’s to Valve’s credit since Valve did it first. Valve does something you don’t like, it’s okay since Epic does it even though Valve did it first and popularized it.
At least your logic is as advanced as your insults.
Yeah bro, the 4% is reaaally worth it. Linux bros cope so hard. Just enjoy your tinkering instead of acting like you’re such a big deal not missing out
In most of the cases playing game is as easy ad on windows.
On Steam, there is Linux support on about 10 000 of the 70 000 games. So it is definitely not most.
where did you get this stat? Do you mean “working” or “verified”? VERY FEW games in my steam library don’t work out of the box. I forget to check when I buy them, they work that consistently
That’s the attitude that’s gotten us here.
Gotten us where? You’d think that if they just wanted your money they’d do something else. The fact is your money is as small as the Linux desktop market share.
If you think the entire reason Proton was developed was because they’re so desperate for the Linux bros’ money then you need to get off your high horse man you’re in the gutter.
Your issue is that you’re individualistic, and that is why corporations are fucking people the way they are. It’s because of individualistic thinking like yours. Good luck in life.
“If you’re not supporting MY OS then I’m not giving you my money.”
Ok bro
Especially because devs actually have to go out of their way to exclude Linux these days. Proton makes it so damn easy to support Linux. If you don’t, it’s because you did not even try or you intentionally added some bloat to your software to make it incompatible.
All of the games I’ve wanted to play work with Proton through Steam.
Stardew valley works on Linux. I’m not aware of any other games.
Have you not used the internet for the past 5 years or is it a troll?
psst they mean they don’t play anything else
Maybe only slightly related but I’m lucky to have fallen into the habit of only using foss software for basically everything (GIMP, Kdenlive, OBS, Shutter Encoder, Upscayl etc) cuz all of them have at least one mean of getting downloaded on Linux natively.
Isn’t it so nice when you think “I would like to edit an image on this computer” so you simply download an image editor and edit the image.
Best part of FOSS, the software is just there waiting for you to use it. Which sounds like a stupid statement to make, but proprietary software only allows you to use it after you have jumped through any number of meaningless hoops.
They don’t even give you any fish for jumping through the hoops either, which every time I tell that to a dolphin they just start laughing at me like I am a fool.
I’d rather have fun and play the game
Me too. And running Windows is no fun.
Is Windows bad? Why is it not fun? Can you give a few reasons? I would like to try Linux.
Ai crap, bloatware, advertisements, costs a lot, tracking, almost no customizability, less stable, …
AI can be disabled or removed from the installation file. Bloatware can be uninstalled manually/Winget/Chris Titus Tech Tools etc (You won’t have all these if you install English International) I never get Ads on Windows An OEM Licence is dirt cheap, and you don’t even need it Tracking can be disabled Define customizability? Less stable? Compared to what? I have never encountered Windows nor an Ubuntu crash unless there is some bad hardware like Memory instabilities). But I’ve had more driver crashes with Linux in modern systems (Both AMD and NVIDIA).
“Name one reason, I would like to try Linux.”
“[Names some reasons]”
“[Argues forever]”
People like you are so irritating. What’s the point of doing this? If you wanted to argue about it then why lie to lure people into responding?
It’s Linux, fuck’s sake, if you want to argue about it just make a top level post writing anything at all about Windows or any distro and you’ll have plenty of takers.
Argument was not the plan. Whenever someone speaks for Windows, it’s an argument. Whenever someone speaks for Linux, it’s a fact. Lemmy Logic. Had the question be Why is Linux Bad? I could have listed Driver Incompatibility with modern hardware. The reply will be it’s the Manufacturer’s fault- Somehow this is a more acceptable reply than just uninstalling some bloatware.
If you find random people on the internet talking about pros and cons of an Operating System irritating, you have deeper problems to attend to.
Look at how mad you are on Microsoft’s behalf. So according to yourself, you have deep problems to attend to. Go get some help, then, good luck.
Something a sweet baby inc fan would do. Stop using obsolete trash stick to windows
