2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

And now we're to the point where you keep repeating the same arguments and demanding the same answers, in an attempt to make the other person walk away so you claim a pathetic "win" and strut around like a high street cock.

I've been on the internet a long time, friend. Your tactics are not clever, or new.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I haven't asked why you wouldn't upgrade before, nor about the broken compatibility features included with Windows.

Direct your anger at the company causing your issues (Microsoft), not the one that hurt you because you couldn't figure out hardware acceleration with remote play.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I'm clearly the one full of anger here.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It shows in your dozen posts refusing to take any of the many available paths forward.

Roblox runs on the latest windows, you'll be fine.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Of course, The many forked paths of "valve should have a legacy downloader".

How silly am I to miss all of them.

It truly is the consumers fault, afterall. /s

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

What about

  • Microsoft should have legacy compatibility mode that works
  • use Proton
  • use WINE
  • use community mods or registry tweaks to run on newer windows versions
  • read what you're leasing

and now we're circling back to already asked and answered shit

are you okay?

If you are this forgetful may I suggest discussing it with your doctor, and possibly scheduling a brain scan?

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You never answered why you blame Microsoft and not Steam.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Oh, now you're trying to Bill O'Riley/Moon argument this.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Or I'm just wondering why you refuse to blame Microsoft for not having a working compatibility mode? Or use any other solution users have presented?

Why can't you just use a mod to enable support for the game? Have you tried and were unable to figure it out?

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh dear god, do you think Microsoft owns valve?

Is that why you think modding windows will let it download stuff from valves service?

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Upgrade your windows install to a supported version and then use the mods to make the game work. Then you'll have windows 8 or 10 or 11 and a working game.

Next strawman

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ah, now we're circling back again to already asked topics, hoping for a different answer that you can O'Reilly

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Didn't get an answer in the first place. I don't know how a new legacy downloader would count as "original software".

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

You've already tried that tactic, too, and I provided several links the last time you tried it.

If youre memory is this bad, and you are this prone to irrational anger, I strongly suggest you get someone you can trust to take you to the ER immediately for an evaluation, Your health matters.

[-] PrettyLights@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

You haven't posted any answers to these questions, you hide behind "original" then demand a new piece of software be built and maintained.
