These people... "please, let me continue being a Microsoft slave!".

Free yourselves and install Linux.

It's not that simple for gamers.

Are you stuck in 2015?

[–] BitsOfBeard@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

I check in every now and then. It is still not to the standards that I want.

My fiancée's games all run much better on Debian (with KDE) than on Windows.

[–] BitsOfBeard@programming.dev 1 points 2 years ago

That is great for your fiancée! Some of my games don't, unfortunately.

The only modern games I've ever had issues with were a few select DX12 games (and that's due to my GPU). Outside of that, some old games outside of Steam game me trouble, but that's usually just a matter of fiddling with some settings in Lutris. Even then, those are usually games that also have trouble on modern Windows versions, and they often require less tweaking on Linux to get them running.

Modern DX12 games and older games are my jam. Besides, Star Citizen...

Not until game companies embrace Proton(-GE) and Steam Deck.

Or anyone reliant on Office for their job

It's a cloud service now, so fully usable via the browser.

Mostly, last I tried Browser only about 6 months back it was still missing features that standard office apps had.
