That's exactly what I intend to do.

It's not all games though and I keep hearing easy anticheat doesn't like Linux at all. I don't want to limit what I can play just to stick it to Greedsoft just yet and I'm a bit of a nerd for star citizen lol I can't imagine that would work well.

Thanks for the link though! I'll have to save that for later

EAC and Battleye both support Linux these days, it's just a question of if the developer enables it in their games.

There's more than enough, just avoid hostile publishers

every game I play or want to play works pretty well on linux

some software tho (e.g photo editing, pcb design, video editing, etc.) doesn't work on linux

but I don't have enough storage to dualboot (128 gb) so I'm using Linux only

I switched from EndeavourOS with sway to kubuntu since KDE connect wasn't working

But you didn't buy it. You licensed it.

[-] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 5 points 1 year ago

No, microsoft licensed it. He bought a license. If you're going to be pedantic without bringing any value, at least be correct.

[-] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 0 points 1 year ago

I wasn't trying to be pedantic, just clarifying that users don't own the software, they are licensed to use it.

But go on, dick

[-] admin@lemmy.my-box.dev 2 points 1 year ago

You weren't being pedantic, you honestly thought that someone had the assumption that by paying $100, they owned the windows ip, and you were just helping them out?

Suuuuure.

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah... Very true. It's so fkn disgusting.
