Which games? Have you tried proton? Lutris?

People like you are lucky things like windows exist because otherwise technology would be totally inaccessible to you, and you’d be banging two rocks together in a cave somewhere.

People like me? You mean the majority of people on the planet?

God forbid I just want to play a video game without having to learn the ins and outs of multiple operating systems while I spend half my time troubleshooting why things don't work.

Fuck me for wanting 1 part of my life to be easy I guess.

Have you tried the things I suggested? You sure do whine a lot. Speaking of Wine, have you tried it?

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Why do I need to try? I have absolutely no reason to ditch windows. What exactly can Linux do that windows can't as far as gaming that requires me to switch?

I use my computer to browse the web and play video games and there is nothing about windows that makes that harder than it needs to be.

But yeah, keep being dicks to people on the internet while remaining anonymous because people don't want to make their life worse by using your preferred OS.

The Linux community makes me not want to use Linux out of spite.

“I’ve never tried to play games on Linux but I’ve determined that they don’t work and never will, so therefore Linux sucks and windows is the only answer”

Got it.

Oh I guess all the people posting in Linux subs trying to get their games to work are just Microsoft bots.

Every Linux user is actually a cyborg

I know... I explained to you why you can't give a reason... your head is deep and permanently planted in the sand

Literally everything you have said about Linux is quite far off the mark... showing you are either trolling or simply repeating stuff you may have misinterpreted and know nothing about...

Live happy with you windows ads... Linux does not need you bud

I enjoy a ad free life but thanks for your concern.

[–] exanime@lemmy.today -2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I never understood the concept of trolling.... Must be a sad life if trolling is enjoyable

[–] Woozythebear@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yep, anyone not circle jerking with you is a troll
