I remember having played it on Ubuntu around S3-S4. It didn't look the exact same, but it was definitely playable (could have been just different graphics settings). A few weeks ago I found a comment saying it's not playable and/or buggy as hell now. I wonder what broke it.

As long as it's single player or you're lucky to not want to play League, PUBG, CS2 or Valorant (or RS6 or... basically any of the biggest ones), you should be fine, and there are plenty of games working under Linux. If you do... Well, not now or in the past 20 years.

Back when I last used it (we're speaking ~8 years ago), I was actually happy using it instead of MSO. ...until I opened a Word document and all the tabulations and spacing went to shit. I don't know whether it got fixed yet, but as soon as they always look identical to the pixel, opened in either editor, I will finally ditch Word.

I guess the same goes for Excel/Calc. Once all the functions are called and work the same, all the formatting looks the same in both, I'll stick with Calc.

(It might come across as I'm being MS elitist, but it's quite the opposite - I would love to switch, but if the admin requires docx, I have these two to choose from. I understand it's not Libre's fault, but I can't do much, either)

There are applications that still don't have a proper Linux port, or any at all. Or maybe the ones that exist are cumbersome to use. I really hate that people downvote you for pointing this out. If you were wrong, Linux would have a much larger share already.

I understand that some people have alternatives for everything they use; I'm happy for them, and I wish to be them. But assuming that if I can do everything I want on Linux in the same quality/convenience/whatever, then others must, as well...

Which OS has more executable files written for it

Windows, of course, that's out of the question. And yes, the problem wouldn't be as annoying if proper corporate solutions were developed for Linux, as well - which is an investment, and they look at the proportions between the two, and choose the one with the larger user base. Which sucks as well, because the Linux user base is small exactly for the above reason (among others).

Again, I'm not debating the whole issue at all - I just didn't find the initial comparison fair, that's all.

You mean a Windows executable file. There are executable (Linux) files on Linux that start with a double click.

While it does feel like that from a Windows user's perspective, you're comparing running Windows executables on Windows with running Windows executables on Linux - no wonder it's not as simple on Linux. Do you know what else is not that simple? Running Linux executables on Windows. In order to do that, you have to...

Apart from the problem of my friends sticking with the same games I play regardless of my decision, the other problem is... yes, most people usually play the games that most people play. I also happen to be in that (high) percentage, so there's not much room.

BTW I've been playing League for a long time, and while cheaters have been a thing for a while, in my experience it practically became a nonexistent problem recently. It doesn't prove anything, just saying that League isn't in the 'cheaters all over' category anymore (imho).

Thankfully, Rocket League is actually pretty decent in this regard, so that's a "safe" one - but there's several more that still necessitates Windows, so I don't see the point of going back and forth in dual boot every time I switch games.

I wish it was that simple... though I do like my games enough that it's a pretty unpleasant choice either way, my friends who play also refuse to change games just for my sake, and they don't mind using Windows. Therefore I can basically stop playing with them, or stick with this rubbish.

Is... Is that second F a C?

I love how he wears a different nutcase T-shirt in every panel (and the newspaper in panel 1).

Also, the one with the hole requires less material for the same lever width.
