Yeah, it's Windows users going out and proudly exclaiming their love. Definitely never heard a Linux user bitch about another OS.๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘

This has to be intentionally dense shit to trigger ACHKTUALLY type engagement right?

[โ€“] lemongarlic@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Windows users don't think about or even realize that other operating systems exist

[โ€“] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 2 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (3 children)

Or they value an os that works out of the box with the vast majority of hardware. Even valve and steamos is on proprietary hardware has a ton of issues. Windows is God awful but I didn't have to run a script on every boot up to set my HDMI device as a default. Or have to reboot my device every time I turn off my TV because HDMI can't connect. And none of my controllers, 8bitdo, ps5ds, xbox360, work wirelessly without latency issues ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

The stubbornness of the community to acknowledge this continues to hamper improving the situation.

I give money and use bazzite+ my steam deck to support foss, but I'm not blind to the numerous issues that need to be fixed before Linux is less ignored.

Well fuck me they are real

[โ€“] lemongarlic@lemmy.world 7 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Most people are also just not going to bother changing their OS lol. Most steam deck users are using Linux and most PC users are using windows.

I think it's like why people don't change the engine in their car, sure you could could get a better one but most people are happy with their engine and don't want to mess with it

[โ€“] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 43 minutes ago* (last edited 42 minutes ago) (1 children)

Wait you can get new engines? Sorry I'm being sincere & my car's engine is dying - is this actually a thing you can do or is it just a convenient metaphor for OSs?

[โ€“] BetterDev@programming.dev 1 points 27 minutes ago (1 children)

I think their point is, yes, of course you can use another engine, because, at its core, an engine spins a drive train. That's all it does. However, to replace one engine with another, you may need to change every hose, mount, sensor, and customize the computer, because what it shipped with assumes you're using... What it shipped with.

[โ€“] Warl0k3@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago* (last edited 15 minutes ago)

no I got the metaphor - I meant specifically, are replacement car engines a commonplace thing? Not being shitty that'd just be really convenient and I know next to nothing about cars.

What the fuck have you been trying that you have to jump through so many hoops? Hanna-Montana Linux? I get that some distros don't work with some hardware unless you get down and dirty with some tweaking, but in my case, I only had that issue once with an Alienware laptop and Linux mint, because of the NVIDIA card, but that was 11 years ago. Never again since. How does that compare to having to hunt down drivers to make everything work in windows unless you purchase a computer with windows pre-installed for it to work 'out of the box'. If you reinstall, good luck with that.

And even if some distros don't play nice with NVIDIA cards from first install, they will still give you a display to allow you to get it to work correctly, so there's that.

Honestly, by all means, stay on windows. I'm happy on the penguin side of things, you're happy on the... whatever that side of the spectrum happens to be right now.

[โ€“] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You've never been to a LAN party when those where bigger. Completely unprompted, windows users will shit on mac and linux users.

[โ€“] makeshift0546@lemmy.today 5 points 3 hours ago

You are barking up the wrong tree. mohaa, dota (the mod) big game hunters, ns, cs (again before the stand alone or steam).

You're friends were correct back then. Linux was mostly worthless unless it was your job. Triple so for gaming.
