Why don't gamers use Linux for gaming?
>>737239461Lack of software compatibility
what the fuck is going on with that facial hair. is he in the process of trooning out mid-video?
>>737239461Because games were not made on Linux.
>>737239461I've tried multiple times and been filtered.If there's software you want to use that needs a compatability layer it's basically a whole afternoon of troubleshooting for me. I'm a compsci brainlet.
Maybe it's not that good...
>>737239657this is the reason why nobody wants to fuck with linux. because nothing is native compatible with it. Any time i hear some sperg lord ramble on about how I need to get linux, all I hear is somebody suggesting that I buy all my appliances with UK plugs, and then attach international adapters to all of them.
I doI also wrote my own script that allows me to seemlessly transition between my two monitors and my big 4k tv and back with a simple hotkey, so I can play on the couch next to my wife more easily. Linux is based.
>>737239461Because despite years of people trying to convince you that Linux is so much better than Windows the reality is that's it's mostly a janky mess that you will spend more time fiddling with trying to get shit to work than you do actually doing anything productive.
>>737239461games are consumer software made with the windows ecosystem in mind. it's basically the worst usecase for linux.
I tried two seperate times with different distros and both times I was no longer able to connect to my home WIFI. To this day I found no certain solution and instead faggots telling people to do random bullshit that accomplishes nothing finished with "oh well try buying different hardware get fucked cuck"
>>737240642Idk it kind of just werks for me, and I'm retarded
Cause its a waste of time and useless
>>737239461This faggot tried ripping off Level1 Wendel and lost his own youtube over it
>>737239461Anticheat doesn't work on Linux
>>737239461IQ filter.Plenty of people play games on it, but sometimes actually using it requires a level of brain power that a lot of people just don't have.Granted, it's been scaled down a fair bit from what it used to be, where only genuine comp-sci grads could get shit working right, and now tends to be a fair bit more accessible to people around the close right of the bell curve.It's like the difference between owning a basic bitch mazda 3 that you bring in for service once a year and treat like shit, and a high performance project car that you have to actively maintain and understand with a manual transmission.Retards and old people probably shouldn't be behind the wheel of a well tuned powerhouse, while people who know their shit don't want to be behind a bog standard commuter that has no real "pull" to it.
>>737239461Because Linux is primarily a platform for tech trannies, code hipsters and sad old men.The sad old men are the last bastion of defence in keeping it even working, when they die the troons will get what they want and put LE HECKIN CUTE ANIME!!! on the kernel and their PR reason will be "ITS FUNNE!" and slowly destroy linux with incompetence like they do any other open source platform.
>>737239461because a lot of people tried it in the past when it didn't work very well, and most people don't even know how to install an OS, Windows or Linux, or swap out hardware, like a GPU.
Logan kinda looks like he's trooning out in most of his videos.
>Thing has to be popular to be goodI hate this retarded normalfaggot mindset, it's like begging for something that you like to be ruined.
>>737243891>they added cute anime girls to the kernelbrb, compiling the latest public kernel version
>>737239461Do you think did he ever get to fuck picrel while she worked for him?
>>737239461Because,get ready for this...Linux is a huge community of people, that have their head so far up their ass, about ONE problem, that they believe an entirely new DISTRO has to be made to solve that problem. Because of that, there's billions of Linux distros that nobody really knows which one is best to use, and none of them can run all of the games that they want.If that's not enough, the Linux communities, plural as in many, are actually a bunch of helpful folks, but they all seem to have their own idea on how to solve problems, most of them don't work. After all of this, Windows is a huge shining guiding beacon out of the darkness for most people.

>>737239461I tried updating my build on my laptop last week. The internet cut out while I was updating. Now my computer is totally fubared. I have the wrong version of gcc for my kernel or something. I can't go back and download the old versions because I ran out of disk space and I can't remove programs to add more disk space because the uninstallers use gcc. My only solution is to transfer over all my files and reinstall. I never had these issues with windows.
>>737239461Because most people don't know what an OS is.A lot of people don't even know what folders are anymore thanks to apple.Half of the kids can't use a keyboard,mouse or controllers, only touchscreen.If you even know what linux is, you're in the 1% of the technical wizards of this world.
>>737239461the only thing keeping me from going full linux is that my wife and I share the desktop, and she would be annoyed if I switched from winbotnet.
>>737239657i do all sort of things on my pc other than gaming, and the only software i cant use(and for which i keep an older Win pc around) is Photoshop.Everything else either has a native linux version, or the compatibility layer is automatically set up when you install it.So what software are you talking about?
>>737244685>people don't install custom OS on their device where they have no other choice but to use the preinstalled OS>repeat x7>why aren't people installing a custom OS on the one device that allows them to decide which OS to use at the start?thats how retarded you sound
>>737244938dual boot is a thing, and if your wife using windows is really the "only thing" keeping you away from linux, you should already know this>imb4 too hard for the wifeif YOU set up the boot, all she has to do is click down arrow and then enter, nothing elseif she's too retarded for that, change wife
Gaming on Linux is easy. Just install steam. Any game that works on the deck will also work on your PC. The only game I remember having issues was one of the Batman Arkham games, and I just had to switch proton versions within steam.I had to fiddle just as much on Windows as I do Linux to get things working right. Like some Capcom games hate certain versions of Windows (like ltsc 2h4h). What's really amazing is that proton works better with old ass dos games and early 90s games than they do on modern windows. Do you PC players really just buy a premade build and never tweaked your OS (even Windows) and leave everything on default? Maybe some of you retards deserved to be shafted. No, I'm not going to share my specs or distro because I don't want more retards invading the community. Stay on Windows retards.
>>737239461>Youtube>Linux vs win>0 fps increase
>>737244773>I never had these issues with windowsyou would if the internet cut out during a crucial point during the an OS updatethe cause of your issue is the internet cut out, not what OS you were using, stop shifting blamesalso, if anything repairing a broken linux OS is easier than windows cause at least in linux you can still boot into the system and complete the update manually>inb4 listing the things you said you can't do alreadylearn to use the fucking terminal you moron, you're on linux, use linux>>737244530>>737244929these are the only legitimate answers in the entire thread
Because I mainly use my PC to play games, and my main game doesn't even work with Linux and most games have tons of issues with Linux.And I already spend a shit ton of time having to config and make windows not shit.
>>737239461Because Linux trannies are elitist as fuck and actively tell people to fuck off and use Windows.
>>737243891>Because Linux is primarily a platform for tech trannies, code hipsters and sad old men.This. People use Linux outside of niche tech stuff so they can pretend this makes them better than other people. Insufferable hipster fucks.
>>737245508>main game doesn't even work with Linuxfair reason>most games have tons of issues with Linux.100000000% false
>>737239461Dogshit software compatibility and every distro is a few developers away from being abandonware. Linux is just trash designed to waste a users time, sure it’s good for servers but for desktop use windows, osx, or even BSD are all simply better choices. I, as a user, should NEVER have to interact with the terminal to accomplish something, I don’t care if it’s faster once I’ve memorized all of the commands, I just want it to be simple and easy. Not to mention the fact that simply updating software or updating to the latest kernel or distro version can fuck your entire install. I’ve never had that issue on windows, it just works…which is the entire point of an OS…cue the linux users saying “works on my machine :)”. Also visual studio is the best IDE ever made…Linux is has so much hacked together software that can’t compare/compete with what’s available on windows…I like turning my computer on and getting things done, linux gets in the way of that
>>737239461Linux sucks
>If Windows updates are so bad why don't more people turn them off?>If 11 react GUI is so bad why don't more people use 10 IoT LTSC?>If BitLocker is so bad why don't more people turn it off?
>>737239461Linux users don't play video games. They don't need any software that requires using spyware and telemetry.They go with Tuxkart and they're fine with it. Even Stallman hates gaming.
>>737245818Online slop are not games.
>>737242731What a shit take/analogy. imagine wanting to fuck around with your car(point A to point to B machine). That’s actually autistic behaviour. I’ve been driving a basic bitch Mazda 3 for over a decade and it still runs great with just basic maintenance when it’s due, which is exactly how I want my OS to function. Creating and then fixing problems for fun is just silly behaviour
>>737245206>no other choice but to use the preinstalled OS>car>tablet>laptop>phone>no other OS choicelmao retard
>>737245892>what's that?>you have a hobby and interests in the things you use regularly beyond their direct involvement in your day to day grind?>why would you want to know how to maintain your own things or build your own solutions?>what a waste of time, how autistic, how silly.Have you always been this devoid of humanity, creativity, and the desire to learn, or did it come with age?
>>737245124nta but some time ago I tried getting rpgm exes to work through wine and wine would simply not install. I tried both the terminal with googled commands and through Mint's innate manager and in both cases I got an error that led me to hours of googling the potentially numerous cases behind said error. Gave up on it altogether.
i think the improvements just isn't worth it for a lot of peopleit's like the dvorak keyboard that's supposedly 50% more efficient and ergonomic than qwerty since qwerty was primarily for typewriter ease of use, but no one gives a shit because they're already used to qwerty and don't want to relearn a new keyboard layout
>>737246493code?
>>737246493Acting slutty is unattractive
>>737239497this is pretty much it, for general purpose shit it's fine, but the lack of compatibility with productive applications kills it. the person who just wants to browse social media on chrome isn't going to give a fuck about installing linux, and the type of person who needs a specific application for their workflow isn't going to switch if it's not all linux compatible.it only got a boost recently because of steam wanting to make games compatible with linux so they can sell steam boxes without being under apple or microslop's boot..
>>737239461How many times are you going to make the same thread?
>>737246246I just don’t care about cars, it’s not like the maintenance is complicated, anybody can change tires/oil/fluids..why on earth would I want to ‘maintain’ an operating system..lol, the entire point of an OS or any computer program really is that it just works for the end user…
>>737249318Honestly, if you added an enclosed interior, generator, and it could get up to speed, I'd probably drive that.It's basically a DE locomotive for the road.
>>737249430Heh it is kinda cool I guess
>>737244685>>people don't install custom OS on their TVThis is the one people should actually be doing since Amazon has standardized built-in advertising on every smart TV made in the last 5 years and the next 50 years.
>>737245506would it? from what i understand, windows downloads updates into local storage before installing them.
>>737249318That thing reminds me of my old VW Golf from the 80's I drove in the 00's. That car was a slow piece of shit and had all kinds of retarted issues with the thousands of vacuum lines and the fuel system, but it refused to die on me. I drove that car for almost 10 years with bolts RTVed in loose/broken vacuum lines to plug vacuum leaks and shit. I wish German cars were still made like that, even if they always sucked to work on.
>>737249832I will always buy Asian cars, they just work
Most people dont know what an OS is or that theres something other than Windows, its going to be hard covince retards like that because they are like console fags, everything has to work out of the box with as little fiddling as possible to be able to do whatever retarded shit they like to do on a computer and thats the only thing that matters to them.
>>737239461Because windows works just fine and unless you play the latest aaa dogshit, possible 3% performance boost you get on loonix doesn't matter (you can get a 20% performance boost on windows just by closing chrome)
>>737250156They don’t teach people how to use computers in school in North America, they have shit like “typing class” instead of actual teaching real computer use skills
>>737244685people should. in a better time there used to be antitrust laws that prevented locked bootloaders. this is why we can do it on PCs. then the billionaires complained and we can't do it on anything else.
>>737250445Just use a vpn and xuper, you can get basically all tv shows/movies for like $3/month
>>737249318electric cars are literally turning into PC with wheels and have minimal physical maintenance compared to ICE cars.which means that maintaining a community car OS might become feasible, the only real problem are the crazy regulations that even actual car brands can barely keep up with.
>>737250569I don't want a TV to have a tuner. I want a TV to have a big screen I can watch from a couch. whatever I plug it in is my business, the TV doesn't need any software in it besides a basic driver.but consumer dumb TVs basically don't exist anymore, even for case uses where nobody would use the smart features (waiting room or similar), you WILLhave them and pay extra.
>>737250963>I don't want a TV to have a tunerI agree directionally but just about every TV made since the 60's has a tuner lmfao.
>>737250963>consumer dumb TVs basically don't exist anymore, even for case uses where nobody would use the smart features (waiting room or similar), you WILLhave them and pay extra.Actually you play less. They sell them at a loss because they make so much money collecting your data and advertising to you. Non-smart TVs couldn't compete and disappeared from the market.
>>737250963those companies make more money harvesting data than selling TVs which is why they basically don't give a shit about making money selling tvs anymore. you want a dumb TV but there's more money to be made selling a spyware TV
>>737252034What are the least invasive brands for smart TVs? I know some let you turn online shit off but you never know.
>>737240642This only applies to gaming. I installed mint on my laptop 2 weeks ago and didnt do anything other than download the software and toolbar add ons i wanted. With Steam OS /proton and Bazzite etc linux WILL get to the point now where basically every game will be as simple as double clicking an icon like windows and with identical performance. A lot of them are already but soon there will be no reason to be using windows at all.
>>737239657>compsci>can't into linuxngmi
Because most people have zero reason they care about to swap. Windows just works for them, and it's important to remember that to a lot of people mentioning stuff like privacy, open source principles or anything else like that immediately makes them view you as a schizo, autist, pedo or a mix of them.
>>737239657>>737239763I can double click a Windows exe and in 95% of the time it will just boot and run via wine, that i installed with literally:yay wine
>>737239461Because few people want to figure out how to code to make their fucking speakers work
>>737255239Maybe don't buy a chromebook then
>>737239461>Windows and Mac pays to have marketing until they are recognized as default computer operating systems in most media>Linux is the OS that media will use when they want to signal that someone is hackerman, autistic anti-establishment or a pedophileSimple as. People do not want things until the media tells them that they want it. Pre-existing desires may exist (porn) and may be capitalized on (more porn), but for the most part the process of normalfag adoption will always start with a company having a lot of product that they can make cheaply and fuckall demand, and until then it's just a specialist item that is overpriced in limited runs.
>>737239461There's no reason to use it.
>>737245439>Stay on Windows retards.it's that kind of attitude that makes linux users look like elitist assholes. pls kys sincerely, another linux user
Gaming on linux is like driving a car that is duct-taped together,it is squeaking, and you can hear the engine clicking,almost as if it is desperately trying to keep it together, struggling to drive.it doesn't feel right and it never will,this is why 100% of the games that come out target Windows.all developers want their games to be run on Windows.not some hacky concoction...
>>737256183a food analogy could at least be original
