Year of Linux on the Desktop
(lemmy.world)
2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.
Uh huh.
And now we're back to the same old "You should have known the coffee was hot, its your fault for being careless and getting burned" arguments.
Accountability for me, but not accountability for billion dollar businesses, Right?
Where were you when Steam dropped support for every previous version of Windows? Why is windows 7 suddenly your hill to die on?
Oh, you mean like I mentioned in my first post here
And also directly in response to you here
And also talked about in response to someone else here
C'mon now. You can shift goalposts better than this.
You didn't stop buying games when they killed XP support. They announced at the begining of this year (at least by March 2023) that they were dropping windows 7 support and you still kept buying.
Why do you keep doing the same thing but expecting a different outcome?
Stop spending money at places you claim are anti consumer. You are the problem. You. There are other companies you could support but you want to keep funding Steam while crying victim.
All this because I said valve should have a legacy downloader so people can still play the things they bought that dont work on modern OS's.
Something that would cost valve, a multibillion dollar company, almost nothing in the grand scheme of things.
But apparently caused so much offense, that you've sat here clawing your hair out at the sheer audaciousness the comment.
You really need to go outside and take a few calming breaths and realize how fucked up it is that you are this defensive over criticism of a company that doesnt give a single shit about you.
He says, as he defends why people should be forced to continue support for his preferred operating system corporation.
Yes yes, a legacy downloader that doesnt effect you, is such an egregious and evil thing and totally deserving of this crazy, borderline mental illness reaction you've sustained.
And upgrading windows affects you how? It's a free upgrade isn't it?
Doesn't windows 8 have legacy compatibility modes? Why aren't you upset with Microsoft for not having proper compatibility modes still?
Why is Valve the target of your anger when Microsoft is the one deprecating the OS and not providing the compatibility they advertise?
And now we're to the point where you keep repeating the same arguments and demanding the same answers, in an attempt to make the other person walk away so you claim a pathetic "win" and strut around like a high street cock.
I've been on the internet a long time, friend. Your tactics are not clever, or new.
I haven't asked why you wouldn't upgrade before, nor about the broken compatibility features included with Windows.
Direct your anger at the company causing your issues (Microsoft), not the one that hurt you because you couldn't figure out hardware acceleration with remote play.
Yes, I'm clearly the one full of anger here.
It shows in your dozen posts refusing to take any of the many available paths forward.
Roblox runs on the latest windows, you'll be fine.
Of course, The many forked paths of "valve should have a legacy downloader".
How silly am I to miss all of them.
It truly is the consumers fault, afterall. /s
What about
and now we're circling back to already asked and answered shit
are you okay?
If you are this forgetful may I suggest discussing it with your doctor, and possibly scheduling a brain scan?
You never answered why you blame Microsoft and not Steam.
Oh, now you're trying to Bill O'Riley/Moon argument this.
Or I'm just wondering why you refuse to blame Microsoft for not having a working compatibility mode? Or use any other solution users have presented?
Why can't you just use a mod to enable support for the game? Have you tried and were unable to figure it out?
Oh dear god, do you think Microsoft owns valve?
Is that why you think modding windows will let it download stuff from valves service?
Upgrade your windows install to a supported version and then use the mods to make the game work. Then you'll have windows 8 or 10 or 11 and a working game.
Next strawman
Ah, now we're circling back again to already asked topics, hoping for a different answer that you can O'Reilly
Didn't get an answer in the first place. I don't know how a new legacy downloader would count as "original software".
You've already tried that tactic, too, and I provided several links the last time you tried it.
If youre memory is this bad, and you are this prone to irrational anger, I strongly suggest you get someone you can trust to take you to the ER immediately for an evaluation, Your health matters.
You haven't posted any answers to these questions, you hide behind "original" then demand a new piece of software be built and maintained.
Are you arguing it's someone else's fault if you spill hot coffee on yourself?
