>>107742535Yes, the 80s were a bad experiment. The changes made to the stock market and recognizing software as equivalent to literature when it comes to copyright were both completely untenable paradigms, even more untenable than "Intellectual Property" was to begin with.The GPL is currently the only way to license software that is actually future proof and leads to good development.
It is good but I'm not touching it before HDR is at least decent
>>107742537why is hdr such a monumental task that only tv manufacturers manage to do itlike good luck finding a free image editing software that outputs hdr in 2026
>>107742535Eh, I'm still waiting until I see the frames. I am a simple man to please. I'll put up with a lot of nonsense to get better performance. Every time I've done an experiment with Linux it's resulted in lower fps.
>>107742535>I'm brave enough to say it:N
>>107742538HDR is being pushed by the HDMI forum to maintain their grip on an industry that is poised to eventually push them out, since it is such a bad connector standard compared to literally every other display standard.
Do not say this around normalfags or they will start fuming endlessly about how they can't actually use computers. It triggers some kind of a bizarre inferiority complex in them.
>>107742538The woke racists at redhat delayed hdr support by 10 yearsThey've also delayed high refresh rate support by at least a decade too(probably more, well no compositor even attempted more than 60hz until 2019/2020 afaik, then the dogshit optimization made it stutter)It's because of the thinkpad autists, there's been nobody with experience on linux's video internals that isn't a thinkpad 60hz 1366x768 tn 6bit frc autist
>>107742535The software I need to use still doesn't function properly on it.
>>72985379299% of those are botfarms running kali linux though
Meanwhile in Ubuntu 24.04: audio crackling because some retard thought good behavior when the audio buffer runs out of data is to PLAY RANDOM SOUND
>>107742546Ubuntu is genuinly horrific. Use linux mint, or one of the atomic gaming based distros
>>107742538TLDR: it's all fucked upEverything related to display technologies are a clusterfuck of 10000000 different standards and protocols. Hdr included. Linux is still very early in hdr support due to the miriad of implementations and the quirks they have. Some technologies are intellectual property owned by consortiums like the HDMI forum that want to charge money for them.
>>107742535The fact the niggas in this thread all shill different things proves that wrong.
>>107742535Just install it bros, don't suffer Microsoft's bullshit. You can even game on it now.

Can we get an operating system that's more like Windows 7 and less like debugging a commodore 64?
>>107742535There's no reliability. I don't even wanna use it to check coin prices in case it randomly shits itself while I'm shorting
>>107742555you never installed it to begin with
>>107742535i want to fully drop windows because fuck me it's gotten bad, but it's not entirely possible to make the switch to linux for me. developing for nintendo hardware is only possible on windows for example. kinda sux
>>107742551RISC-V my brother
>>107742535Are wheels plug&play on linux too?
>>107742543not surprising, Linux is purely a hobbyist OS. professionals who know what they're doing aren't programming an OS for free. Richard Stallman despite being a commie isn't doing it for free, either, he gets paid millions of dollars to do lectures and attend meetings and shit.
>>107742560That kind of reminds me of how Godot operates. The engine itself is free and you can do whatever the hell you want with it, but the creators own a company that offers to port Godot games to consoles for a fee or something? It's not the most amoral revenue model I've seen so whatever, though both RMS and the Godot creators are kind of assholes.
>>107742558Dead on arrival. It's killing itself by fragmenting with a billion optional extensions when in practice Chinese closed source chips will set the actual standards.
Bazzite or CachyOS?Also does Linux still not have HDMI on nvidia drivers??
>>107742563cachy, bazzite is a training wheels distro hdmi is an issue on amd due to the hdmi consortium being niggers that hate amd's drivers being open source
>>107742535>nowIt was always good if you weren't a bottom line retard.
Wake me up when Linux can decide on a single version I don't have to mess with to make everything work. It will never have mass market adoption until it does.
>>107742566arch or one of the easier derivatives with kde retardstop crying about needing to choose, do you have choice paralysis every time you go to the store?
>>107742567>This one or several others based on itYou obviously can't read. Because, again. One that just works, not a bunch of others that also might work that have their own quirks.
>>107742568there is functionally no fucking difference past the first week
>>107742563cachy imo, feels way less bloated and performance is also a bit better for me though not much. the "difficulty" of arch for this distro is so overstated. i use it exactly the same way as bazzite, just upgrade through the "cachyOS Hello" tool they bundle, i never touch the CLI. i also like to use octopi for installing software, its pretty simpleIf you choose a bootloader like limine its also simple to have a similar snapshot setup to bazzite so you can restore easily if you somehow fuck up
>>107742535Is it finally safe /v/? Can I finally state that linux is indeed good without having to fear microsoft kil
>>107742569Lol you are so mad
>>107742547why not just steamos?
what the fuck is thisdid valve brick the survey
>>107742568Default KDE CachyOS then. It's easy to use and works out of the box.
>>107742535I had started a playthrough of BG3 before deciding to switch to Linux, but as soon as I'm done, I'm making the jump. W11 is way too shit to abide.
>>107742576there's linux native version of BG3
>>107742577is it better than playing through proton though? linux native versions often aren't worth the hassle
>>107742577Yeah, but I had already installed a billion mods and didn't want to go through the whole process again. I'm near the end now, anyway.
i have a 4090should i switch to a 9070xt just for linux?
If Linux was so great it wouldn't need any shilling. Simple as
>>107742580i don't think anyone can answer that for youare you going in blind? you can just try using it and see if the seethe from having to deal with nvidia's shit is worth the drop in performance
What is Linux? Why should I use it?
Nuff said.
>>107742563What are you on about? Nvidia obviously has HDMI. They use closed source driver. AMD has a version of HDMI that is behind the version that nvidia has.
>>107742582You know what, you're right.I was about to make the switch until i heard linux is just better on amd and you lose a lot of performance on nvidia.But i think the most likely scenario is I boot up a game on linux and notice practically nothing different.
>>107742535is it actually good or have commercial products just gotten so shit that it's tolerable by comparison?
>>107742553C
>>107742580If you plan to use Linux long term, yes. I don't really see nvidia fixing their driver, even if they are trying. Supporting consumers in general is not their priority and Linux consumers are specially not their priority.Doesn't mean you can't use Nvidia on Linux, but if you're using it long term you'll probably encounter enough annoying problems to get tired of it eventually. Took me about 6 months.

>>107742535I've been using it off and on for over 10 years now, and just last year I finally got rid of Windows. It has improved so much recently, and it's only going to get better with more people ditching Windows.
>>107742535https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4FlL1FCbvA
>>107742581windows is only a thing because they were shoving it down everyone's throat in the 90sthey cared about it being popular more than about it being goodit's a kikery of the highest order and we're finally starting to recover from it
I'm not against using Linux, I'm just lazy and set in my ways. I will say, however, that Windows 10 is going to be my last Windows OS so when it becomes unusable in the next 10 years that's probably when I'll make the switch.
>>107742584>"just double click an old game and it just works!"You have no idea how much I wish that lie was how it actually fucking workedin reality the shit fails to launch because it relies on DX6.0 or earlier, and then you need to google for sourceports, compatability patches, or fucking remasterseven recently I spent hours trying to get AVP2 to work on W11 using some "all-in-one" compatability patch made years ago which didn't work at all, then I used dgvoodoo2 in the end to force the game to finally run, but the resolution is warped because it's trying to stretch the 4:3 screen by defaultI've had more luck with WINE running older games than modern windows....
>>107742535I've been using it for a couple years now. Aside from stuff where the developers seem to go out of their way to make it not work under linux (anything with kernel level anticheat falls in this category) it's fine.
>>107742596You know, funny that you'd say that. Back in the day a long long time ago Microsoft said "Windows 10 will be the last Windows OS", I actually made it my last Windows OS precisely because they said that.It's the last Windows OS after all.
>>107742571Not yet anon. We have intel that Bill Gates has personally killed at least 3 Linux shills just this week.
>>107742599That was just some retard on Twitter, MS never actually used that line in their advertising.

>>107742603Surprised you didn't bail after the atrocity that was 8
>>107742604That retard is exactly why I didn't bail. I figured "hey if it's the last Windows, I might as well use it since I never have to change from it". I still could get enterprise keys for free at the time too.

>>107742537It kind of works on KDE Plasma, and maybe GNOME. I've been using HDR on Bazzite for a few months now. MPV has it, Blender has it, it's broken in Chrome 143 but fixed in Chrome 144, etc.>>107742538>why is hdr such a monumental task that only tv manufacturers manage to do itIt's inconsistent by design. With SDR, your display is expected to be able to display the whole range of signals. You can adjust brightness but you are expected to maintain relative contrast. HDR, in contrast, is specced for 10,000 nits of brightness and Rec.2020 color space, but there isn't an expectation to hit it, with the standard instead having you "tonemap" what you can't render. How, and at what point in the color pipeline, you tonemap is anyone's fucking guess, and it makes the whole thing a giant mess. Good luck trying to get a consistent image, or even a consistent "feel". I've tried.>>107742538>like good luck finding a free image editing software that outputs hdr in 2026Krita 6 is poised to support it, and I have a dev build of it which can output HDR. Very useful for making HDR artwork.

>>107742535>year of the Linux desktopNo, it's HIS year.
>>107742544This. If you use your computer for any kind of creative or professional work, linux is unusable shit. If all you do is rice your desktop and watch anime I guess it's fine. If you want to play games it's a hell of a lot more work than just tolerating the bullshit of Windows.
>>107742563Bazz, only install Arch if you're a PRO which you aren't since you have to ask.
>>107742616>If you want to play games it's a hell of a lot more work than just tolerating the bullshit of Windows.Only if you play shitty multiplayer games with kernal level anticheat.
>>107742563Cachy with tweaks from their wiki applied feels 2x smoother than W10 IoT LTSC to me, with a huge fps increase in Lies of P (the only graphics-heavy game I'm playing currently, 80~90 on W10 to 90~120 on Cachy, RX 6700 XT)
>>107742616>If you want to play games it's a hell of a lot more workOn Windows I go on Steam and click play. On Linux I also go on Steam and click play.Where does this 'gargantuan hardship' of using Linux keep coming up for people? I just dont get it.
>>107742620When you don't want to use steam.
>>107742621I have bought games from devs who don't put their stuff on steam. In that case I just ran the start script they made for it, which takes a couple of seconds. Out of curiosity I had also checked what it does and it just ran a particular file in the folder which I couldve just as well clicked to run the game. In some other cases I just double clicked the launcher and wine auto launched it, same way it would start on Windows except with the Wine layer(doesnt take anything too noticeable). Gog games are the same.So again, where is this hardship I keep hearing about?
>>107742619what have you tweaked? i've taken a look at it in the past but didn't really see anything too crucial. switching to ADIOS is something i may try
>>107742623>firewall, wi-fi domain and apparmor in post-install recs>secure boot since I'm a bit paranoid>turn off steam's pre-caching and increase shader cache to max instead, all non-steam games are setup through Lutris + umu-launcher + proton-cachyos-slr as per their gaming sectionthis run 99% of everything smooth as fucking butter, I can't believed I put up with Windows dogshit latency and micro-lag faggotry for so long, there are maybe some edge cases where you need to tweak further (GOG "good old games" where they modified the game files for better compatibility on Windows, thus borking it somehow when you try to run it through Proton)i.e. HoMM3 won't run unless you download HD mod or HotA who create their own exe files>LACT for undervolting and underclocking>sched-ext through their kernel manager, scx_lavd on gayming mode 24/7that's all I think
>you need to do a hacking mini-game to even install the actual gamelol
If ecelebs are telling you to install linux, all at the same time, all of a sudden... you shouldn't install it.Windows works fine for my needs. Linux is more complex despite what anons here will tell you.
>>107742621lutris is literally three clicks to install any non-steam or pirated gameheroic and lutris is all you need for non-steam and pirated games
>>107742595eh as much as i love linux i dont think this is truelinux was a fucking piece of shit to use back in the 90s and 00swindows was simplistic and catered to the masses thats the main reason why it got popular aside from MS shilling back then
>>107742535What even is Linux? An operating system? Can I install it and simply use it without having to study computer science? If not, kindly fuck off.
>>107742607kek. every crypto related stuff works on linux you retard. microdick shills are not even trying anymore
>>107742626>so-so no redditopinion discarded
>>107742564everything that isn't gentoo is a training wheels distrobefore someone says "linux from scratch" - no, sane people don't use unicycles.
>>107742621You only need to set up ONE proton or wine-staging-prefix and run winetricks to install all the vcruns, dotnet48, dxvk and vkd3d-proton. That's literally fucking it. If you're using lutris or bottles, congrats, you're actually making your life harder, lmao.
>>107742633I don't want to use any of that though, i want system itself to come with everything that is needed for me to double click .exe and it would just werk.
>>107742629>What even is Linux? An operating system?Yes*>Can I install it and simply use it without having to study computer science?Yes, its more user friendly than windows once you get used to it. You should learn patience and how to use google first in case something breaks
>>107742632Training wheels as in they're not removable and permanently limit you Cachy is just as powerful as regular arch but bazzite isn't as powerful as fedora
>>107742535why are linuxfags so desperate to make people take their poison?as long as you need to emulate windows to play games there is no reason to ever use linux
>>107742635>yes (actually no)the least selfaware linuxfag
>>107742629When you say:>Can I install it and simply use it without having to study computer science?do you mean >Can I install it and simply use it without having to study computer science?or do you mean>is it exactly like my precious Windows in exactly every single facetBecause it is not the latter if that's what you're asking. It does things differently than windows, but it's a horizontal move, rather than a vertical move.
>>107742638>Googling x broke how to fix is the same as getting a CS degreeIf you are a moron you can steer clear of it. For me its as simple as install and use

>>107742637If proton is emulation then windows is emulating windowsNo one even wants to run games in directx 12 when given the choice since vulkan is superior
>>107742643>at least windows fundamentally works not even microsoft endorses that lie lil buddy, you don't have to do this
>>107742643Windows has not worked since 8 and anyone who stuck with it through that tablet kusoshit deserves to be raped by Microsoft.
>>107742645Playing every game and will play every game that will release in the couple next years on windows10 perfectly fine and without issues
>>107742645I'm not using win11 and don't intend so for the near future.You can tell yourself whatever you want. I didn't have a noteworthy issue with windows since 7
>>107742535I'm not falling for it again I've seen people try again and again and the story is always the same
>>107742537>I'm not touching it before HDR is at least decentWorks on my machine. Steam deck has OLED with HDR support, just to show you how big HDR support has become on Linux
>>107742647>>107742648>i'm not on 11 because... uhh... reasons?you're just kicking a can down the roadand then you'll cave in like a good goy and install it because instead of actually taking steps towards weaning yourself off from an os that hates you and wants to enslave you you'll just keep making that linux boogeyman bigger in your mindsmaybe you'll install linux but you won't extend even a fraction of the charity towards it that you've afforded windows so you'll piss yourself at the first obstaclewhat a weak and dependent mindset to have
>>107742651I am good till 2032. By then either 11 LTSC will be widely available or linux will get their shit together and become end user friendly with valve help.
>>107742652you haven't even tried if you can keep spouting the same retarded line over and overthe fear of linux is worse than the act of using linux and you people just can't help but make that shadow bigger
If that truly were so, you wouldn't see this pathetic shilling. No need to.The truth is that Linux still sucks and I don't want to tinker with a machine for hours to do basic stuff. Tried mint and it sucks and I'm sure each distro comes with their ABCs of bullshit. You can't even manage file transfer and drive usage-dissconect right.
>>107742654>dissconectsaar?
>>107742651>that hates youI made a dual boot Fedora in like 2011 with the then novel Gnome3 and hated it. I build my own Alpine with kde just for fun.I tried multiple variants of Linux distros, especially some lightweight variants like Puppy which I occasionally used for data recovery and configure some other devices that use Linux file systems. I tried Mate, xfce, kde and Gnome.I'm using Linux for 10 years now. Just cli (server, raspberry etc.)because Deskop Linux sucks donkey dicks.Also trannies brainwashed Linus after that incident where he insulted a dev for writing bad code.>>107742653>you that's someone else anon
>>107742653NTA anon but you are fucking delusional, linux has always been and still is only good for SWE and terrible as home pc. I only yesterday had to use ubuntu to recover some data from a broken WIN11 PC and it couldn't even mount an NVME drive without fiddling with it and then it couldn't even copy files to USB without UI breaking and me having to manually sync and monitor it from terminal. It's absolutely fucking horrendous and unusable UX for anyone who isn't tech savvy.
It’s a good OS but im keeping Windows for gaming. I didn’t spend all this money on my computer just to have lackluster gaming performance and compatibility. I would rather game on a console than Linux.
>>107742657fucking lmao, cluelessthat's windows blocking that, not linuxthis is the thing with you people, you don't even understand your problems
>>107742656>because Deskop Linux sucks donkey dicks.and HOW does it suck? can you even elaborate on that or are you going to throw more generalisations at me?

>>107742657>WIN11 PC and it couldn't even mount an NVME drive without fiddling with itgonna need more info than that. isn't bitlocker enabled by default in 11 now? definitely not linux's problem.
>>107742653I don't have a single reason to try yet. W10 ltsc is perfectly serviceable for my casual needs. Do keep up the good work with linux though, maybe it will actually be usable in another decade of valve tardwrangling fossexuals.
>>107742659that's the thing with linuxfags, always blame everything on the user.If you can prove it is not your fault, then you made the mistake of using distro X or tool Y and you should've used Z instead. If Z creates three new issues, it's not your problem because all work is community driven, just fix it yourself, nobody owes you any help.At least anyone is free to shit on Windows and sane people will agree and you are always offered solutions.
>>107742643rtfm
>>107742662No, I disabled that when I installed that win11 and the fiddling was actually just turning off that "mount with default settings" toggle in Disks without changing any settings, which makes it even more retarded.
>>107742664They are fat nerds coping with their "mastery" of Linux. It's ego.The reality is that even if windows is bad, Linux is worse, with windows I at least don't have to waste hours fixing and setting up the OS, it just worksI don't care about some server crap, if you can't do the basics, it's useless
>>107742584I have a Steam Deck:>Steam gameIt already works. At worst, enable Proton Experimental>native linux gameClick on start.sh and the game launches without installation>non-linux gameAdd the .exe to Steam and enable Proton ExperimentalWow, so hard. There're exceptions that require tinkering, but it's generally obscure or abandoned games.The actual issue is modding, a lot of modding tools are only meant for Windows.
>>107742657NTFS can not be mounted properly in Linux unless it's unmounted cleanly in Windows. Windows does not unmount it cleanly unless certain settings are disabled. Microsoft provides a tool called Windows PE for dealing with broken Windows installs, at no point did you have to use Linux for that.In fact it is retarded to use Linux for repairing a Windows install. That's completely fucked.You fix Linux with Linux and Windows with Windows.
>>107742584Heroes 5 is literally one of the games that don't run on modern computers without sacrificing a virgin.

>>107742626Windows 10 support ended for everyone at the same time, did you consider that, retard-kun?

>>107742672>this is what i meant when i said you niggers can't afford a fraction of the charity to linux that you freely give to windowsWell that would be because I can use windows for years and only encounter issues in some obscure and rare cases, while it's impossible to use linux as a home os and not run into shit breaking every other day.

>>107742686>windows locked a drive in a hyper specific way that it broke file transfer UI and nothing elseYeah that's totally what happened there.
>>107742535>I'm brave enough to say it: Linux is good nowBeen using Linux for the past 15 years, and I can say Linux has never been this good, but holy shit, literally installed kde yesterday, today it was completely bugged out on my desktop and laptop and keybinds stopped working in my desktop and the volume control was stuck at 45% in my laptop and couldn't be changed.Gnome, with how much I hate the devs, works much better and in a less buggy way than kde.
>>107742690idk what happens on fucking gnome but my 10 partition in fact refuses to fucking mount right now because it's made by fucking indians despite me turning off all hibernation and fast bootquit coping
>>107742664With Linux, the OS isn't an unfixable mystery meat dumpster fire where the solution is to reinstall every year.The fault can always be traced back to somewhere, usually (you) for not reading the documentation. Or some retarded developer's code, in which case, you file a bug report with a patch and tell them to just fucking apply it(TM)I mean, unless the blame lies with NVidia's blob drivers in which case, lol? There's a reason most linuxfags use AMD cards.
>>107742692It's probably because you didn't disable hybrid shutdown on windows using powercfg. By default nowadays windows 10+ doesn't shut down, it hibernates to improve startup time. Which leaves the NTFS partition technically still mounted by windows.If Linux allowed you to mount the NTFS partition under windows' nose in that state, you'd corrupt it irreversibly the next time you booted windows.
OSes made by randos will never have the ease of use that an OS made by a company will have. And until a Linux version comes out, never will. You can can say this Linux or that Linux is actually the good one, but it isnt because there is no damn standard. And for most people. Easy, simple, and standard is what they want.
>>107742695the standard is currently being laid out by the company that made the fucking thingarch and its derivatives with kde
>>107742693>have a problem in windows>google it. A youtube video with a fix comes upEZ PZ>have a problem in linux>lmao install gentoofreetards are toxic miserable people
>>107742578Its crazy how Microsoft managed to make a good api to make games on but fumbled the implementation so poorly a different os which has very little thought put into gaming is able to do it better.
>>107742697>30 minute youtube video by some incomprehensible faggot with an indian accent that doesn't even solve the problem at handlol. lmao even.
>>107742697>google it. A youtube video with a fix comes upwith 50 different causes and links to microsoft community where rakesh says please sir have u tried redeeming the restart butten???
>>107742696>derivatives There's the problem.

>>107742699>>107742700toxicand miserable
>>107742535Windows bricked my C drive and so I finally made the switch to Linux. Nobara distro has been pretty comfy and not intrusive. Managed to get my games set up easily and it even lets me run my comfyui AI workflows more easily than Windows. Never going back. Fuck those jeets for nuking my HDD though.
>>107742703>only I am allowed to badmouth the operating system i don't like!
>>107742580No, just get a Linux flavor that has an nvidia version (nobara, bazzite) and use that
>>107742701there's no problemyou read the pages and pick whichever sounds the most interesting to you, they're not that different
>>107742535How is the nVidia Performance?
>>107742705I'm running Zorin OS right now on my laptop lmaoI just hate you freetards
>>107742709>hoyoplayshould've started with this screenshot to save me time responding
>>107742538Because HDR means bigger than 32bit (8bpc) RGBA pixels and that fucks with everything at a software level. You can't just flip a switch and expect everything to immediately start using 10bpc or whatever the fuck pixel formats "HDR" expects. We can't even get color spaces larger than sRGB and you niggas excited for dim SDR brightness bullshit and ABM dimming and maybe 1000 peak nits (idealistically).Fuck outta here.
>>107742707The people don't want that. They want something like a Linux 1. It does the thing and just works. No fuss. They don't want to have to worry about which off shoot of Linux 1 they need to use to run a program they want.
reminder that a lot of old games actually run better on linux since windows hasn't prioritized backwards compatibility for years now.>C&C zero hour/3 can be forced to lock cursor to fullscreen window since it's an option in proton/wine>the original release for GTA san andreas has LESS rendering issues without needing third party patches (other issues present in the original release like instability when framerate is unlimited remain)and so on and so forth. Windows is a joke.
>>107742574>did valve brick the surveyi dont get it. why would they have?
>>107742537HDR is decent in Vidya and movies (mpv) already
>>107742584>3264x9989windows users everyone

>>107742714Something surely got fucked upNone of those percentages add up to 100 and all those other settings have 150% use rate
>>107742717>cant refute Thank for helping me not choose Linux.
>lose 15+ fps with nvidia>can't even play BF6Kek you must be dreaming
>>107742718yeah, that's what i'd call a gacha player
>>107742721do you shit yourself every time you enter a store and have to pick from a few different brands of the same product?
>>107742713Windows is a joke in general. Anything targeting DirectX9? Works better on Linux. Anything targeting DirectX8 or lower? Barely even fucking works on modern windows without wined3d or glide or cnc-ddraw or whatever. Anything targeting NT4 or hell, DOS-based windows? Good luck with that even with compatibility mode, lmao.And then to top this shit with a cherry, using vkd3d-proton on windows with DirectX12 games outperforms native DirectX12 with half of the games that use DirectX12. That makes zero sense.
>>107742535linux was always good
>>107742535It's been good since 1991 september 17th and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
>>107742620Wait is proton included on Steam for Linux now? Just like the Steam Deck?
>>107742723nice projection freetard
>>107742711>streaming services support hdr>most games will support hdr natively>nvidia has their AI sdr to hdr conversion tools for video and games>mid range monitors starting from 250€ onward has 300-1k+ minileds to facilitate hdr + oleds start to be around 400€ and they support hdr obviously>implementing hdr is too bothersome, lets just not bother Even if its not convenient who cares, its what people are gonna use. You either implement hdr or people wont use your shit.
>>107742728It has been for like the past six years, anon. Before the Steam Deck was even a thing.For that matter the "enable proton for everything tickbox" doesn't even exist anymore, it's on by default.
>>107742535It's decent but you can still run into some issues with Nvidia cards or have it require some tinkering and recompiling. It's also not gonna play anything with kernel anticheat, as shit as that is to begin with.And if you want to play any niche weeb games or VNs with JP locale then good luck. People usually want an OS that "just works" instead of one where everything feels unstable and like you put in a lot of work to make it do its job properly.
>>107742730>fullscreen-only nonfree botnet devices that have full control of userland can display HDR dohOk and? Windows HDR is shit as much as Linux. Desktop HDR is a cursed concept of SDR and HDR content side by side. Users will complain about "washed out colors" and dimness. Either way, if you tinker hard enough and are willing to use your nested Wayland compositor bullshit, you too can have HDR on Linux for your fullscreen-only garbage.
>>107742724I don't need to tailor my clothes after choosing them though, they just werk.
>>107742724No. Because they work. Linux might work if you are lucky and if the person who made the random off shoot decides to keep it updated. Linux will never see mass adoption until one rises from the crowd and decisively kills the rest. And by that point, people will see that it works or has comparable programs and ease of use to Windows or Mac and then maybe they will finally use it. Not before.
>>107742725vkd3d isn't even available on Windows.
>>107742633>you only need to go to terminal and install poopoo and enable peepee and get poopee peepoo-v2-main and peeee69x3 and configure poooo9515.21 and then you can maybe play your games!!Why do that when I can double click exe?
I've only gotten one windows only game to work on my ubuntu laptop and that's elder scrolls arena
>>107742678Cs2 yes
>>107742738The laptop is an old macbook if that makes any difference
>>107742736vkd3d-proton is Valve's downstream fork, and yes, it does in fact work on windows. You just dump the DLL next to your game.
>>107742725Windows is only good as a Server OS, unironically and only because Windows Auth (Kerberos /NTLM)is so cohesive and ambiently available in any IT system.Yes I know you can do that on Linux. Good luck finding a company with nonshit Linux infrastructure.
>>107742735>>107742734>i-i-it just works i swear!!!no, you've grown up wearing a diaper and you're crying at the prospect of learning how to flush a toiletthe newest iteration of diapers will no longer be able to contain your shit and yet you still cope
Who doesn't love having to do a whole bunch of shit just to get your 5070ti to work properly and even then at barely 70% the fps you could get on Windumb
>>107742743You know you've won when the insults come.
>>107742744It's your fault for buying novideo, idiot. It's called no video for a reason.
>>107742733What actually prevents someone from making a desktop color scheme from looking good in hdr. Isnt it just that it was made for shit sdr monitors and that cant cleanly be displayed at hdr without extra work?Design the desktop environment in hdr, you just need to do it once and it wont be washed out?
>>107742742>Windows is only good as a Server OS
I am in fact gaming on Linux.
>>107742742Windows is a godawful server OS and kerberos is shit. I'll go even further and also call Linux PAM shit. Work restrictions/provisioning in general is meme shit. It's piss-easy for any employee to smuggle anything onto a work laptop just by pulling the HDD out.
I'm starting a PhD in computer science and have never once used Linux. I'll think about switching when it just works.They've had like 40 years to make Linux good though and haven't been able to do far, so I'm not holding my breath.
>>107742745you can cope about how modern windows just works while you're actively fighting and declawing it so it can't do any damagethe reality is that you're choosing to hold onto something that has no future because of nostalgia
>>107742752I'm running windows 10 and it just works. Every game and program I want to use, just works. Simple as.
>>107742751>PhD in computer scienceI'll cafe a caffe latte
>>107742751>and have never once used Linux. >They've had like 40 years to make Linux good though and haven't been able to do far,so you're literally parroting shit you heard and you think you deserve an opinion
>dude on Linux just use [shitty software that is only half as capable as the original], it's pretty much the same! >oh yeah I can't play those games but who wants to play them anyway
>>107742629It's sort of like a hip-hop operating system.
>>107742753but are you using STOCK windows 10? this is a catch 22, either you're the goyest of the goy or are admitting it doesn't just work
>>107742755>Just burn your hand on the stove!I don't need to step in dog shit to know it's dog shit.
>Nooo I don't want to use Linux!! Here's an entire fucking essay about why it's bad!!!!!Then don't use it? I hope this helps.
>>107742759this but windowsthere hasn't been a single piece of good news about it in 10 years yet you maintain this retarded sunk cost fallacy cope
>>107742758Yes. Its stock. And everything just works. Why can't Linux manage to do the same? Why can't the community come together and decided to make a single Linux that does everything without any hassle? It should be easy. So, why can't or won't they?
>>107742762and that's all i really needed to knowyou're completely tech illiterate and your opinion is void
>>107742541>hdmi>hdrHas norhing to do with hdmi forum or its connector. Tvs are simply bigger and allow for better hdr than monitors also hdr with dp looks the same as via hdmi
>>107742760You literally never see Windows users making threads or topics to beg people to stay on WindowsYou only see Linux users going "here's why Linux is now just as good and you can move on"
>>107742759real scientists don't just observe they experiment too, so get your face in that dog shit
>>107742763Thanks for not answering my question. Really selling Linux to the masses over here.
>>107742761There's no alternative to an operating system that just works. I don't want something that just works half the time. I don't want compromises. I want something that just works.It's why I will always use windows until Microsoft buys Linux and makes it just work too.
>>107742748Yes. I can have my windows servers serve a directory using SMB3 and have users and servers access it without hassle. On the other hand, most the critical Linux infrastructure still uses NFS3 home directories and IP based access controls. Oh and of course it isn't encrypted communication either. I can set up an OAuth2/OIDC server behind IIS and let it handle Negotiate/NTLM and get single sign on without any autism. Don't need to worry about SPNs or service accounts or shit like krb5 in most simple windows server setups. I'd prefer using Linux for everything. My desktop is running Linux and I own no Windows machines, but you haven't seen what the average Fortune 500 Linux infrastructure looks like or just how bad it really is. Windows just works in this case, purely out of momentum.
Windows just works without any coping. I see zero reason to spend extra effort and endure eventual non-working stuff with Troonix.
>>107742761And yet it's still light years ahead of linux in usability. Really makes you think. When your opposition has to go full 150% retard for you to have a slight chance of winning, what does it say about you?
>>107742768microsoft themselves disagreeyou don't need to lick the boot this hard
>>107742766I use WSL for any tasks that require Linux. The only reason tasks require Linux is because people made proprietary software and did not include a windows binary.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/NVIDIAWhen your article starts with "WARNING: Don't use the official nvidia driver packages" followed by 47 pages of instructions
>>107742771when you need to have shit simplified to a toddler level and you have worse troubleshooting skills than a fucking dog then what does that say about you?
>>107742774not sure if linux bro shitting on nvidiaor nvidia bro shitting on linux...or fork bro shitting on base arch
>>107742750>kerberos is shitAnd what is your alternative, exactly? Your users already have a ticket and their accounts all come from some directory service that is acting as a KDC already, so why not use it? Not knowing how it works is not an excuse to call it "shit" by the way.
>>107742774all on nvidia btwthey want to keep their drivers closed so the goyim that buy it get what they paid for
>>107742774Listen. Linux just works! If you have the right hardware. If you have the right version of the right fork of Linux! If you have the right fork of that fork of Linux! LINUX JUST FUCKING WORKS!
>>107742775That i want to use computer for other shit than using computer? The fuck kind of question is that?
>>107742778I don't think the guy sitting there behind a PC cares who is to blame for this, they just want things to work with only minimal work required.An OS is a tool that is meant to exist in the background, not something you actively engage with all the time just to make it happen.
>>107742774Why couldn't they just write videocard series "RTX50XX, RTX40XX, GTX9XX", etc like any sane person would? Now I have to google what "family" my videocard is if I want to use this retarded table. No average user would know that information. Not even most "enthusiast" pc builders need to know that.Linuxfags being insanely obtuse faggots on purpose and then complaining linux is not widely adopted, name a more iconic duo.
> all this windows just werks screechingLolLmao even you fags never used windows before windows 7
>>107742781>the 4 trillion dollar corporation did nothing wrong!!!!fuck off retardthis is on nvidia and nvidia onlythe linux people can't do ANYTHING about it
>>107742775>what does that say about you?I want my PC to just werk. Thank you for finally admitting linux is incapable of providing that.
>>107742762>Why can't the community come together and decided to make a single Linux that does everything without any hassle?People who say this simply have no clue about Linux because they've never touched it. They just see that there are multiple distributions and assume that it's a problem, either as a way to cope with not being able to make a choice or just because they want something to complain about. Every distribution of Linux will run the same games. They'll all run the same software except for point-release distributions sometimes having to wait until the next release for compatibility with the bleeding-edge package requirements of some new thing that isn't a game. There are multiple distributions because people want different things (and, with Linux, they can actually have what they want). Nobody who actually uses Linux really wants a one-size-fits-all solution. I don't want to be forced to use Gnome. I didn't want to be forced to use Wayland years before it was ready just because the developers enthusiastically declared X11 to be dead as soon as Wayland was able to display a window without crashing. So no, "the community" can't just come together and make one thing. The Windows "community" doesn't do that either; they just accept what is forced on them by Microsoft. If people could customize Windows, then there would be 10 different Windows distributions by the end of the month. The idea that Linux would be better without the multitude of distributions and desktop environments is nonsense unless we assume that all of the people who spent time on those things would actually have been interested in working on some Windows user's idea of the one true Linux, which is an absurd assumption.
>>107742779Correct. Your ignorance and inability to do basic research is not my, or other Linux users', problem. Stick to Windows and be a cuck. Why do you midwits make these posts? Do you think this is some gotcha? I've been using Linux desktop since at least 2014 and all my games just work, but I'm also not a moron who blind buys shit without a driver available. I haven't bought a novideo card since a GTX 580 (Fermi).
>>107742786>thousands of distros is a good thing actually
>>107742785thank you for admitting that some people don't deserve electronics
>>107742784Yes you can, reverse engineer drivers and hardware, should be piece of cake for linux computer geniuses.
>>107742784Ok? And what do you want Bob the average user to do about it?
>>107742779Don't forget that you need the skills to troubleshoot and fix it all the time >>107742775 then it just works!
>>107742774>Don't use the official nvidia driver packagesthat's not what it says...
>>107742791be mad at nvidia?>>107742790you are in fact brown and suffering from dunning kruger
>>107742789You getting assblasted from other people not willing to fix OS as a full time job really paints Linux in the best light kek
>>107742788All those thousands of distros are just illusion of choice. All development happens on and for Fedora mostly funded by Oracle/Red Hat
Since people want to be disingenuous, here’s a bunch of games with anti-cheat that I own that works on Linux>Arma III>Back 4 Blood>Battlefield 4>Elden Ring>Fantasy Life i>The Finals>Forza Horizon 5>Gears 5>Gears of War Reloaded>Guilty Gear Strive>Halo Infinite >Halo MCC>Helldivers 2>SW Battlefront II (2017)>Warhammer 40k Darktide>Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2>Warhammer Vermintide 2>World War ZI own more, but those are all of the top of my head. There’s some that worked before, but the developers decided to disable support, and they are>Battlefield 1>Battlefield V>GTA Online>PvZ Garden Warfare 2I know there’s other games I don’t play that works fine like Arc Raiders and Marvel Rivals, which just adds to the fact that Linux can be viable for gaming. If you want to blame anyone, specifically blame the developers or publishers for not making the games supported on Linux. If Helldivers 2 can work despite its absurd rootkit drm, then so could Battlefield 6, CoD BO7, Fortnite, or whatever the fuck.
>>107742794Ok, he's mad at Nvidia and sits there wanting to play his games. He's mad at Nvidia but it doesn't magically change the fact that it only "just works" on Windows.
>>107742795you defending your fundamental lack of tech illiteracy and spreading boogeyman hearsay proves you don't deserve electronics
>>107742797i also play some of these on loonix, i didn't even realize they had anti-cheat
>>107742798that's good enoughmay it inform his future purchases
>>107742788There aren't thousands. There are 3 main ones and a few minor variations of those, each amounting to some tweaks to default settings and sometimes a different desktop environment of which there are only a few. Only a small number of distributions are even relevant. I'm sorry about your choice paralysis but it simply isn't an real issue.
>>107742535Linus doesn't even care if his daughters are graped and murdered by imported thirdies, because he is a woke communist, so why do you think he cares about my computer?
>>107742794>fossfag immediately folds the moment effort is requiredTypical.If linux community were so great they would make community drivers for nvidia cards instead of whining and begging big corpo to let them do so.
>>107742802>There are x number of Linux! And that is the problem. People dont want a bunch of versions of Linux. They want ONE version of Linux that does it all. Why do you think Mac and Windows are everywhere? People dont want to fuck around with their OS to make something work. They just want it to work. Why don't you get it. If they want to, then let them. But your average joe doesnt give a fuck and just wants it to work.
>>107742803the whole point of free software is: you don't have to care what the people who make it think. They don't own your shit the way people who make propritary software do
>>107742803the alternatives are FagOS and soon to be Agentic Winblows
Windows works just fine though
>>107742803Don't be racist. Those "imported thirdies" are mostly skilled workers from India and they are the ones who work on Windows. As a Windows fan, you should like them.
>>107742799>t.Hahaha you don't even deny that you need to constantly fix shit and try to shame me for my lack of desire to troubleshoot and fix shit and then you have the gall to insinuate that linux is worth using, what a fucking cretin, just looks at that clown.>linux is good guys it totally just works>well if you troubleshoot and fix and maintain what breaks all the time, then it totally works guys!>whaaaat, you don't want to fix shit as a full time job???>REEEEE YOU STUPID DOODOO HEAD

>>107742810no, i don'tkeep being mad, hope to see you on the agentic os where all the major features are broken and which soon will have 1 billion rust lines of code
>>107742535bullshit, i tried linux a year ago and it sucked. i tried playing warhammer 3 on it and it couldn't do it without the game slowing to a complete and total crawl. the literal only thing that can possibly make linux the norm in the future, is if the gaybecube becomes wildly popular in the future and everyone starts to switch over to linux and everyone starts making games for the gaybecube linux system. and of course, if the gamers' prior windows games also are perfectly playable on the gaycube. THEN, linux might have a tiny tiny shot at becoming the norm amongst gamers in the future..
>>1077428131 billion rust lines of code generated by AI*can't omit that
>>107742813>where all the major features are broken and which soon will have 1 billion rust lines of codeAka linux
>>107742805See >>107742786 and also re-read the last sentence of >>107742802.If there were one Linux at the time I switched from Windows, it absolutely would have been Ubuntu, which for all intents and purposes was the one default Linux. I tried Ubuntu and didn't like it. I had the freedom to use something else and I did. So fuck you.
>>107742811Somehow pirate scene work under the exact same premise and don't complain.
>>107742805>Why do you think Mac and Windows are everywhere?because they come preinstalled on hardware?did you think you were being clever with that one?
>>107742818so you don't understand anything
>>107742804They are too busy fixing thousands of other driver bugs.I tried installing Linux on my new laptop. Lo and behold, it was a complete waste of time, because the wi-fi kept on crashing after seconds due to a catastrophic driver bug. It was eventually fixed, but it took almost an entire fucking year. lolWindows is a garbage OS, but at least it works. If you install Linux on any modern machine, then you are just a perpetual beta tester.
Isn't it funny that the average normie is more keen on the idea of switching to linux than the contrarians on here? Fucking youtube comments have a more nuanced view of linux than the spergs here who suddenly play the worst goyslop imaginable when the question is brought up
>>107742821>big evil corpo works against you denying you access to their goods>pirates work to reverse engineer protection layers, breaking or bypassing it eventually>linuxfags cry and beg big evil corpo to give them scrapspathetic really

>>107742804You can't even replace or ship working firmware for anything newer than Kepler you nigger. AMD isn't much better, but they work with FOSS to make the shit situation workable.
>>107742762>Why can't the community come together and decided to make a single Linux that does everything without any hassle? It should be easy.Because I can 100% guarantee that I would be annoyed with 99% of shit you seem to want in an OS, so there can never by one single Linux OS that "does everything".
>>107742829you already do this on windows, you just don't realize it. and yes, if it does not work on linux, i do not use it. my windows partition is long gone and i have no patience for shit that doesn't work on my machine.
>>107742833Then Linux will never be heavily adopted.
>>107742762do you like modern windows? that's what you get when there's only one standardyou eat shit with no recourse

>>107742833Gentoo will always be an option though, it sounds exactly what any linuxfag wants out of their system even.
>>107742842No. Windows 10. Does what I want, when I want it, and I don't have to fight it.
>>107742835It's already 100% adopted on my computer. Why would I care about anything else?
>>107742843>like we're all supposed to give up Battlefield 6 andyes. do you really?
>>107742843kek every other thread you'll see people bashing matchmaking slop for being soulless but in a linux thread you have people lining up for the trough
>>107742840I want everything to just work out of the box with no tinkering required, which distro is that?
>>107742535>linux pridepic related ringing truer with each passing day
Can I play all my Japanese eroge on Linux?
>>107742845so you disagree with your own reasoningyou already have the one standard you wanted, it's windows 11switch to it or you're a hypocrite that can't follow the logical conclusion of your own reasoningor did you change your mind?
>>107742846Because Linux users keep screaming that Linux is better but don't understand what the masses actually want. The fact that there is more than one Linux is the problem for mass adoption. The fact that you need to fuck around with it, to maybe get a program to work and in fact, it might actually run WORSE is the problem. But when these are brought up, Linux users won't stop throwing insults.
>>107742849distros share a huge amount of libraries that form the base of the system. shit like printers, wifi and drivers are the same on every distro. the part that changes is the UI and the software suite from the desktop environment.

>>107742847>>107742848Multiplayer FPS with your bros is a time-honored tradition.
>>107742797Overwatch 2 as well. Not that I'd recommend it.
>>107742858imagine hating your friends so much you'd rather join them in a matchmaker grind over playing a coop game or something equally humane
>>107742765Oh I don't know about that. This board's archive has plenty of examples of Linux aggressively shilling Linux and pestering Windows users to switch or mocking them for not having done so, even if it's largely shitposting. But at least, when such posts are genuine, there's a reason for it: a new Linux user can understandably be overly excited about the niche thing that he likes. Meanwhile, I don't know what the hell is the point of Windows users spending all day defending the operating system that about 95% of people are using already. Imagine getting that bent out of shape over 3% Linux and 2% macOS.
>>107742860We have fun. That's all that matters.
>>107742845come on, microsoft's stocks are going up so it means the standard is objectively good!ta ta!https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11you have no excuse, there's only one standard, just like you wanted, you're sitting on an old fork and having options is bad!
>>107742853>Because Linux users keep screaming that Linux is better but don't understand what the masses actually want.Wasn't me.>The fact that there is more than one Linux is the problem for mass adoption.No it isn't; see >>107742786 >>107742817.>The fact that you need to fuck around with it, to maybe get a program to work and in fact, it might actually run WORSE is the problem.But that's completely different from the other thing you said was "the" problem.>But when these are brought up, Linux users won't stop throwing insults.You're a poopy head.
>linux doesn't have video gamesso it's the perfect OS for the average /v/ shitposter, what's the big dealio?
>>107742865This. We all play on Switch 2 anyways
>>107742861Well yeah, why would anyone. Windows users treat Windows as a tool that stays in the background and does its thnng so they can actually use the software and play the games they want.Linux users make linux their personality, not unlike vegans. Everything becomes about making this or that work on Linux and converting everyone to Linux.
>>107742865It has this game. Please move the goalposts.
>>107742867the less sapient windows users treat it like a console with an internet browserthe more sapient windows users treat it as a rabid dog that needs to be muzzled
>>107742537Ubuntu default is the standard, if it doesn't work there it doesn't work on Linux (steam deck is an exception)
>>107742867>Windows users treat Windows as a tool that stays in the backgroundI fucking wish
>>107742867>Windows users treat Windows as a tool that stays in the background and does its thnng so they can actually use the software and play the games they want.But they also bookmark the /v/ catalog search for "linux" so they can defend their background tool at every opportunity.Don't pretend that posting in Linux threads isn't a hobby for you.
>>107742535Linux will be popular when people can just give you a straight answer to "What distro should I use?" everytime you ask there are 800 different options that just turns people off immediately
>>107742867>Windows as a tool that stays in the backgroundmodern windows is probing your ass at every step, you would be bitching about it if your asshole weren't so stretched out already.
>>107742873>what food should i eat?>no, don't ask me about my age, my weight, my religion, just give me one answer!
>>107742875huh? Even if you're more specific>I want to play games on linux which distro should I useagain 934 different answers and if you install the wrong one there'll be 300 people going "heh you should've listened to us"
bideo james?
Good morning /g/ays>>107742881not anymore
>>107742875>which linux should I install if I want to do all these following things>um no you can't okay you gotta pick one and even then it'll require a lot of console use and fiddling with shit and troubleshooting crashes but trust me bro it's worth it, at least they won't spy on you
>another /v/ linux thread hitting the bump limitbased
fuck off we don't want this thread either
>>107742876>>107742889that's not specific enoughhow much handholding do you want?how willing are you to learn?do you prefer stability or bleeding edge or inbetween?with those questions you're down to 2 solid specific picks at worst
>>107742900All OP had to do was mention video games, and it would have stayed on /v/. The words "Linux gaming thread" in the empty message field probably would have been enough.It's pretty clear that Linux gaming threads are allowed there. They get deleted or moved pretty much only when OP is such a gigantic fucking idiot that he goes out of his way to avoid making it on-topic.
>>107742762Every OEM has a different version of Android and it doesn't impact compatibility. In the past (90s) OEMs would make nontrivial modifications to Windows and it didn't impact compatibility. You'll be fine.
lmaos finally jannies moving freetards back to their nest
>>107742947a picture of linus torvalds is as far from gaming as you can get
>>107742926Usually the case with most OPs on /v/.Most of course don't actually want to discuss games anyway.
>>107742947See >>107742926, and seethe in the next on-topic Linux thread that stays on /v/ and hits the bump limit there.
>>107742917>have to have an interview to decide what distro you needyou're further proving my point Im not against Linux but Linux will never be popular if the average person has to do this keep in mind the average person doesn't even know how to emulate and its downloading two things and then dragging and dropping them into each other
>>107742969The average person was never going to spend a single minute thinking about Linux anyway because it wasn't pre-installed on the pre-built rainbow-LED-covered gaming laptop.
>>107742969if you're in a position where you're asking for advice you'll want fedora or mint. people willing to do research would find arch by themselves.
>>107742539>Every time I've done an experiment with Linux it's resulted in lower fps.What kind of "experiment?" Was it just installing a bunch of crap that should work and then testing the FPS? Or did you actually do some testing to see if your software was doing what it's supposed to do, or did you just take the results and assume it's bad because it's bad?
>>107742969the average person will use whatever retard friendly distro comes preinstalledbazzite, ubuntu, mint, whatever the fuckanyone else won't cry about being able to pick whatever the fuck they want
>11 hours later and nobody has fixed OP's faggotryhttps://www.pcgamer.com/software/linux/im-brave-enough-to-say-it-linux-is-good-now-and-if-you-want-to-feel-like-you-actually-own-your-pc-make-2026-the-year-of-linux-on-your-desktop/
>>107742849Mint>>107742876>I want to play games on linux which distro should I useNobara and Bazzite are the popular "gaming" distros (Bazzite more suited for TV/handheld devices as a SteamOS replacement than for PCs but works either way), as well as PikaOS. There's also CachyOS, which isn't a gaming distro but is performance-focused and has gaming improvement options at install. It's only confusing if you're retarded. At that point you just pick one and move on with your life.
>>107742827What kind of retard actually pays money for windows?
>>107742827>he paid for windows of all thingsLet me guess, you got filtered by Nvidia drivers?
