If I can't play your game on linux, I don't want to.

Imagine being so goyed that you literally can't live without the newest call of doodoo. If your reason is league of legends, you should ask yourself next time after having 4 3rd world bots in your team, are you actually having fun or are you just addicted?

THIS
I installed OpenBSD and there is no steam or whatever. Gaming is immature unless you're playing traditional roguelikes.

So true, took me a while to realize this. I don't even want to dual boot or get a separate machine for le gayming. I'd rather get a console (I wouldn't because piracy is too OP on PC, imagine installing malware on winshit)

there's plenty of games and emulators on ports but it's mostly for /vr/ fags

>>108109025
To be honest I'm a manchild at heart and always will be so I've been thinking of installing Arx Liberatis, gzdoom, System Shock (shockolate), and Minecraft (blockgame). That's like 10% of all good games ever made + Minecraft. If only there was a port of The Dark Mod, and a way to run Thief Gold and Thief 2.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of doubt and respond as if you were serious.

An analogy is usually made up, thats the idea. To convey an example so that even a retard can grasp it's concept. Therefore your comment's just an argumentative fallacy

It's no secret that EA, Microsoft, Apple, Google, *insert corpo* etc are actually making money by selling/using your information. Personality, preferences, what and when you play. If you're ok with this, then suit yourself. I'm not here to tell adults what to do with their lives.

What I want you to understand is that the mindset of just going along with injust practises for a little pleasure is weak. It will eventually lead to detriments you're too desensitized to understand you're suffering from. I'd love to one day see everyone who shills for bad actors without pay open their eyes to the exploitation. To understand they're being treated like garbage.

take a look at some repos on github and see if there's any project for those games. sometimes it's just a matter of patching some stuff and they build fine, but no one ported said program yet. besides installing basically every nintendo and playstation emulator plus some games like openmw i was able to compile fallout-ce for fallout 1 and 2 and xash3d (half life engine port). ofc linux users have it easier because they have windows API emulation paid and developed by Valve.
>blockgame
there's also minetest

Linux is a meme, if linux could actually guarantee me 100% privacy and independance, I would consider using it even with all the caveats and sacrifices like having to pick my software/hardware specifically for linux to a degree and not having access to some vidya or modding tools, or just dealing with general jankiness like linux having fucked text rendering. But instead you still run hardware made by US that has proprietary firmware needs, you still run a proprietary bootloader, and you still most likely run proprietary shit in your distro or run generally pozzed software like Steam/Firefox that are spyware, and you become a even bigger target as Linux has like 50m users while Windows has over 1B and makes you much worse fingerprinting wise, I'd be surprised if there's even 10K linux users in my tiny yuro country so I'd glow like a fucking lamp in night. It's completely pointless, gimping myself for absolutely zero reason, like a retard.

I'm not an expert but wouldn't the only 100% secure setup be one that never connects to any other device?
>>
>>108109072
It's not an analogy. It's literally just made up. You don't understand what an analogy is.
>>
>>108109761
If you're so worried about privacy why don't you get off the internet then? Preferably right now, faggot

>if linux could actually guarantee me 100% privacy and independance
If someone is using Linux or any other OS with this kind of motivation they're either sorely mistaken or much smarter than I am. Most people on this board use open source operating systems as a hobby, for fun. OP is expressing that they value this OS hobby over a gaming hobby.
>you still run hardware made by US
Israel actually. What about you?
>you still run a proprietary bootloader
That'll probably change soon in my case. What about you?
>you still most likely run proprietary shit in your distro
On my desktop I don't, I think. What about you?
>Steam/Firefox that are spyware
Any kind of connection to the internet is already opening you up to all kinds of spying. Do you use that kind of software?
>you become a even bigger target
Target of what? Sounds like delusions of grandeur.
>makes you much worse fingerprinting wise
They'll be able to single you out no matter the OS.
>I'd glow like a fucking lamp in night
>gimping myself
Definitely delusions of grandeur.
Most of us are just hobbyists who think Unix-likes are fun.
