I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

    Calling windows unusable because of a tiny window appearing on the bottom right corner is just being dramatic.

    Do you really think just because of that? You guys are dramatizing a lot than me. I just say that is annoying, defaults are not fine. Tweaking it consumes my time a lot. Don’t miss the whole point. It’s just a tiny tiny little bit example of how awful and annoying defaults are.

      If you call popups, annoying apps “usable” then it is.

      The only one being dramatic is you.

        How it is dramatic? You are the one who took offense… It’s not hard to just understand defaults are bad.

          There is a difference between disagreeing with what you said and being “offended”. When people call you dramatic this is why.

          Can you stick to reality or is your entire personality based on hyperbole?

            Just look at how you talk, that explains that you are not worthy to keep talking.

            You just turned a simple conversation that needed to be kept simple and friendly into a complete disaster combined with aggressiveness.

            You would’ve convinced me that I am wrong. So toxic.
