I've been 100% Linux for over a year now. If it doesn't run, I don't buy it.

That's the attitude that we all need to have. Same here, if anything doesn't work on Linux, I ain't buying it.

I even got a refund from steam when rocket league lost Linux support when that one company bought it

[-] helenslunch@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

Rocket League runs fine on Linux, they just lost native support.

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Nice. You can run rocket league on heroic launcher btw. I have it through the epic store. Works flawlessly

[-] YerbaYerba@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Yes, it was more the principle than anything. I was terrible at that game and barely played it

[-] penquin@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Right there with ya. My 10 year old smokes me all the time in that game 😂

[-] 0ops@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Same, I play it that way on the steamdeck

I didn't bother because I got plenty of playtime from it and got it through the Steam Controller/Link bundle as well. But I did consider it since I was ticked about losing Linux support.

That’s how I’ve been for a few years now. Windows has serious bugs that I encounter all the time that I never encounter with Linux.

Just this week alone… screenshots stopped working, usb microphones were stuck on mute, and the taskbar crashed preventing me from using any touchpad gestures or even accessing the start menu to restart.

The task bar was fixed with a restart but the other two issues required a reinstall of the os. I troubleshot those for like an hour without any solution.

Windows is not ready for the desktop.

[-] M500@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Haha that’s pretty funny. And I whole heartedly agree.

I know! I have to use windows at work (IT Admin) and using powershell always makes me wish the software we need ran on Linux. Just today I needed to extract a partition image with dism and it just did nothing for half an hour before the progress bar even came up. People say that Linux is buggy but gnome gives me way less headaches than windows 11.

Windows unfairly gets the reputation of being more reliable than linux. I’m just waiting for my work to make one app available on Linux and then I’m switching.

[-] infinitevalence@discuss.online 7 points 1 year ago

Same been Linux only for several years now. If it won't run I won't buy it.
