It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.

Show me how to use the Xbox app in Linux and I will switch today.

Game pass not worth supporting shitty behavior over.

But isnt this like asking "Show me how to run Nintendo Services on the PS5 and I will switch"?

Windows has it's own ecosystem just as much as Linux has it's own ecosystem, so expecting Linux to run everything Microsoft is kinda of unreasonable IMO.

To switch an OS also means to switch an ecosystem. You wouldn't move from Android to iOS expecting it to run Android's .apk, right?

I'm not criticizing you tho, if a service you rely on doesnt work on Linux, then Linux isnt for you, and you're free to use Windows, an OS is just a tool after all 😁

I dual boot at this point. I have a POP_OS! nvme where I do normal pc stuff and maybe some light single player gaming, then I boot into my windows ssd for the heavier anticheat stuff. Imma be completely honest though. For most people I recommend just upgrading to windows 11 if you can. Linux is great but I think if someone just cares about gaming they should stick to windows.

My gaming computer under my TV is windows 10. My laptop where I do adult things is Linux mint. It's a valid strategy

Completely valid take. I think that most Linux gamers dual boot (at least inside my circle of friends) (but no me tho, I'm Linux exclusive!) I think that when people doscuss Linix vs Windows, they often forget that you dont necessarily need to get rid of one system in favor of the other, you can simply integrate Linux into your workflow.

Bad take.

First, bad analogy because on windows pc, Xbox runs smoothly while on PS5, Nintendo services were never allowed.

Second, Linux is for him because the more people that switch to Linux and use it over corpo spyware OSs the better.

Not sure if serious

Gamepass was made to have you in the ecosystem so you really can't, and I don't blame you since it helps with these expensive games like the new Doom

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Or pretty much almost any game or driver issues.

I like Linux but these video game developers dont support their game properly for Linux.

Majority of steam games work without issue nowadays ime
