most of them are like that

They arent going to improve the quality they've just added the ability to do the patches via hotpatch and not require a restart. Still gonna be same quality of slop

Everyone should try it once.

There are good MP games that works on Linux, but if one really cares about a specific title (and I totally get it, we want to enjoy stuff with our friends and all) dual boot I feel is a good compromise. Sure it is annoying to reboot every time you want to play some X game but nothing is perfect and you can keep your windows install pretty minimal.

If it took that long, then you might've accidentally installed your os on a harddrive

Oh, well you're welcome. Having mode is pretty useful for me so I'm glad you got it up and running. It's not perfect but it does suspend a lot of background shit.

at this point just port wine to windows

the power of open source

This is how art changes the world for the better

???

That's a consequence of the native ports not being maintained by most studios, especially post-proton.

That might change in the future though.

I wish.

It was the same Samsung 970 NVME that I'm using right now lol.

Windows 8 on a hard drive was 1000x worse. I made the mistake of upgrading my laptop back in the day from 7 to 8, and it would just sit at 100% disk IO at idle.

But just in case, on the SSD it actually would take anywhere from several seconds to a full 15 before the start menu decided to load.

XFCE, WF-Shell, KDE, and the many dmenu clones are all instant.

Open source and st. Gabe willing to embrace it. Valve made tremendous effort in order to push it to the mainstream

Fair enough. I hate the way windows has gone, so I'm perfectly fine with any flavor of Linux.

Yeah, as soon as you come to the conclusion that it’s worth not playing league, battlefield, apex legends etc it’s a no brainer now

Cachy is great

I am using Linux for 30 years at this point and it blows my mind that I can play AAA Windows games on Linux now

I've been fooling with Linux for nearly as long. I ain't no gamer beyond the intense game of KPatience, but I'm amazed at just how far and versatile Linux has become. From servers to gaming to real-time kernels that can power industrial machinery. It's got something for everyone.

Whats really fun about this is Valve started investing in Linux because a bunch of changes Microsoft made to windows 8 signaled they were moving to a locked-down ecosystem to bully corporations like Valve out of the market.

The current state of Windows is a product of MS's blind greed but the current state of the viable alternatives is, in some ways, also a product of MS's greed.

Teams? You mean Copilot Remote Friends?

?!?!?!

Are you stalking me or something?

you are just widespread

Can't argue with that, I guess...
