Yeah, I also don't like such general laziness. It's also not just limited to switching to Linux, it's kind of the same with switching to anything that's better but slightly(!) more inconvenient than what you're used to. Well, you can't make or be part of some progress unless you're willing to sometimes get off your comfy couch and do something you've never done before. Like switching to Linux. Like stopping eating meat. Like stopping supporting certain evil companies. Like going to vote for a non-retarded option. Like voting with your wallet for the products you use/buy and also NOT use/buy. If everyone would do it, the world would be a different (better) place. But still too few are doing it. Because it's slightly less convenient. And that would be so damn hard to change. Oh man would that be hard. Not.

Linux should have been a developer's platform. Sadly it's incredibly commercial now. Won't be long before it becomes like Windows for the gAmErS.

I need Hdr and vrr to work and a replacement for madvr that can make movies look as good as it can.

That's what's holding me, and multiple people I know, from moving to Linux.

The hdr and vrr seems to be about there but as far as I understand there's still not an equivalent to madvr.

People won't like it to hear but let's face something: if your reasoning to keep using a proprietary system that violates your privacy and belong to a evil company is because you have to play videogames your intelligence and self control is that of a child.

I really don't get this community's insistence on getting people to use Linux no matter how much destruction they bring. Steam games on Linux are not what anyone has in mind when they say Linux doesn't have games. Because Linux isn't binary compatibility, it's libre software.

In my circles, if someone says "Linux such and such", we assume they might be referring to their FreeBSD computer as well. Here it seems Linux is more likely to refer to Android. Emulating a sketchy Windows game doesn't make Linux the better platform for games. The Windows games are always going to be best on Windows, and now your Linux computer has malware on it.
