I’d love to be able to replace all my software, but 80% of what I use a computer for is not possible on Linux.
There’s no Linux alternative to Lightroom (that actually works) there’s no way to play almost any online game with an anticheat.
Even if someone had “higher standards” that’s not going to change anything, they’re just not going to be able to do their job.
Wrong. If enough people had higher standards, businesses would have to meet those standards or go out of business.
It's a very simple concept, and ya'll deserve to suffer together because you can't work together.
You sound like a complete cunt.
There’s no way to meet anticheat standards on Linux. It’s inherently a less secure platform for all the reasons you love. That’s not a dig against the OS, it’s a fact that enabling Linux in anticheats makes it less secure on all platforms due to the level of open customization Linux gives. That’s great for the user, but a pretty much unsolvable problem from game companies.
I don’t use FOSS most of the time because it doesn’t meet my needs. My standards are too high for Linux by your logic then.
