Many games are still not functional on Linux. Here is a link showing which ones aren't just due to their anti-cheat features. That doesn't include games that aren't compatible for other reasons.

I'm not playing any games with anticheat and I'm working so much I only play single player. Linux won for me

It's pretty rare to find a game that doesn't work for a reason that isn't anticheat. I would say the few that are incompatible definitely classify as the exception and not the rule.

game companies are entrenched, tools, libraries, think hardware emulation layers like DirectX. and installed os monopoly. linux exists because of diy types unwilling to pay someone else to do it. if you know how, make lusers pay you to do it for them. they can't understand the details. wasting your breath

What in the fake news is this source ??

I feel like if you made a Venn diagram between Lemmy users and Linux users, it would just be a circle. I say this as also a Linux enjoyer.

I don't see what relevance that comment has to mine. Why did you write this?

I'm a lemmy user, I don't currently use linux. So your point is not correct.

More importantly, I wasn't saying anything about linux users, I'm pointing out the the source that was posted is a blogspam non-reputable source.

Why the hell is Gates on that image?? The guy stepped down as a CEO 26 years ago, and left the board of directors six years ago.

The enshittification is all Nadela's baby.

You somehow made me aware Gates had to use either an UNIX derivative (iPhone) or a Linux derivative (Android) daily.

Did you ever use windows before XP?
