Latest winslop 11 update literally broke my computer. Chrome tabs lag, a 1080p video almost froze my computer.

Is this the end for personal computing?

Imagine not buying a mac or taking the linuxpill anon

Gentoo doesn't have this problem.

I have no such issues on my Apple MacBook Pro M5 running macOS Tahoe.

You still cannot play games on it can you.

Mac is planned obsolescence it works fine for 5 years then they unload a new os with unnecessarily fancy graphics and you cannot upgrade Macs so you have to buy a new one.

Grab an empty flash drive and google one of these OP. Takes 15 minutes and you're done.

The compatibility issues are really overblown. There are a few specific games that have weird lag issues when pulling up menus, but it's only really noticeable if you have a shit PC like I do. If you have Flatseal permissions turned on and Proton downloaded (Steam downloaded it automatically) everything will be fine

I wanna use adobe shit and CSP. Can I still join the linux side?
>>
>>107878481
As long as its not cowadoody, battlefield, riot games, or something similar, gaming is pretty alright. God bless Gabe
>>
>>107878391
Works fine on mine.
>>
>>107878563
wine used to solve that, at least adobe, check if it still does
>>
>>107878563
Linux has a fuckton of free available alternatives for the same services, and if you are really desperate for that specific program you can just use a virtual machine and run Windows devices on it. Though I would try the former first
>>
>>107878585
I've invest too much time on CSP and don't really wanna learn a new art software.
I don't like GIMP or Inkscape also. I'm learning Illustrator but I was considering Affinity but that shit doesn't work on linux too.

Almost a decade ago I decided I was tired of pirating photoshop and wanted to try finding something free, so I found out krita and started learning it. I was a windows fag and wouldn't consider ever using linux, I just wanted something less annoying to install. In hindsight that was one of the best decisions of my life. I'm so used to it now that when I look at photoshop I get completely lost.
>>
>>107878796
I was going to recommend Krita to him but I didn't know photoshop well enough to say for certain it could do all the same things. I've unironically never used photoshop for anything

i was messing with this shitty laptop and i put ltsc 2019 on it. desktop ram usage after install was only 600mb. im not even using windows 11, im on ltsc 21h2 and my desktop ram usage is 3-4gb at bootup

>You still cannot play games on it can you.
Only if a game is using Riot Vanguard, EA Javelin or Easy Anti-Cheat.
Battleeye and like 90% of other chink anti-cheats work without issues.
>>
>>107879434
Check out Puppy Linux
>>
>>107879606
>Easy Anti-Cheat
This one works too, if game devs check the "allow wine" checkbox
>>
>>107878513
the fact that it exists at all means linux will never be mainstream. Until the mere thought of "do I need to look up whether my game will work or not on my system" (outside of hardware based performance) is eradicated from linux, it will never take over from plug n play windows. You can cope all you want, but the general normie doesn't give a shit about your opinion and only cares if valorant or w.e fotm streamer slop game will work so they can follow along with their favourite e-celeb

>I want to use X
>You can't but you can instead use Y as a free alternative
that's not a fucking solution you retard
>>
>>107878391
Go back to 10 or 8 or jump to linux. 11 is a disaster.
>>
>>107879693
No, the solution is to find an old version that is compatible with Wine and run it

The better solution is to just not use loicensed corposlop programs.
>>
>>107879680
>linux will never be mainstream
I don't care tho this isn't a competition. If people want to stay on the sinking ship that's their problem
>plug n play windows
It was plug n play for me on Linux…

>>107879870
okay, but that doesn't change the fact that the general public play multiplayer games and half the anti-cheats do not function on linux. I agree that kernel level anti cheat is a cancer but it's also used by all the major players at this point and is genuinely here to stay

>>107879680
normalfags don't even play games

CSP does work in linux btw

i like things that work, thanks

anticheat is a losing battle anyway. hackers are getting impossible to detect.
>>
>>107880003
a hypothetical losing battle has no immediate direct impact on functional issues of those (very popular) games not working. It also remains a question of those developers/publishers seeing success from that version of anti-cheat, whether any of us agree with it or not, and using it for their future products. So you're essentially blocking yourself from ever using anything from that company
>>
>>107878399
implying it wont uninstall the desktop environment randomly or some other dumb nonsense
