Did you use an ATM machine? A kiosk to order food? A cardio machine at the gym? Glanced at an information panel outside? Then there's an high chance you used windows.

>>108623131
I honestly feel like I'm missing out and I just don't know it. How much of a hassle is Linux to maintain and how well does it run games? Apparently the amount of custimization and ownership you can take of your machine will never make you want to go back to Windows. The main reason I use windows is because I've used it my entire life.

>video games
You need to grow up, Anon.

>>108623164
>maintain
Run system wide updates semi-regurlarly (i do it once a month on arch and my install has never bricked)
>gaming
Press the green "PLAY" button on steam
If you're bottlenecked by ram games will probably run better

Click where it says update or write "sudo apt update" and "sudo apt upgrade" on terminal.
>How well does it run games?
Just download Steam and play most games using Proton.
>Apparently the amount of custimization and ownership you can take of your machine will never make you want to go back to Windows.
Yep, its very fucking good.
>The main reason I use windows is because I've used it my entire life.
Same for me.
Just like you learned to use Windows, you can learn to use Linux. It’s not impossible and there’s no barrier to entry, if you know how to use a computer, you’ve got the door open.

>>108623164
>How much of a hassle is Linux to maintain?
It's confusing setting things up on your first go, especially if you're installing and configuring a minimalist distro, but once you've got your build where you want it Linux is low maintenance.
>how well does it run games?
Depends on the distro but in general Linux gaming is pretty painless these days. Nvidia gpu support is a lot better than it used to be but can still be extra work depending on what you're trying to do.
>The main reason I use windows is because I've used it my entire life.
I've been pingponging back and forth between Linux for years, but post-Windows7 I don't see any reason to ever go back. Linux requires more effort on your part but the results are far more satisfying. Windows is like a Honda Civic, Linux is a hot rod.

>>108623330
>Linux requires more effort on your part
It really doesn't. Windows if you want shit to just work the way you ask them to work requires much more fiddling and effort.

If you have never used something, then you cannot badmouth it.

>>108623354
I'm talking about the learning curve. You don't need to understand Powershell to use Windows, but you need at least a basic understanding of bash to do anything in Linux.

>Just download Steam and play most games using Proton.
lmao baiting another retard to get fucked on linux this hard when he realizes "most games" means cumulatively not by popularity.

>>108623131
This is a perfectly good moment to throw yo life away!

>>108623420
?
Besides eac rootkit stuff what popular game doesn't work on linux?

>>108623379
Bash should unironically be taught to kids in grade school but the cathedral would rather have a bunch of retarded little iPod goyslaves

>>108623485
Battlefield 6 and Call of Duty. both have their custom rootkit anti-cheat.

>>108623373
people who can imagine how they'd feel if they didn't have breakfast this morning can.

I use Windows because pirating & modding fucking sucks on Linux

>>108623704
which doesnt even work btw, lots of cheaters esp in warzone

>>108623131
This is how I feel about Apple

The indie and retro stuff works fine.
Emulation is also very fucking good on Linux.

>B-but my kernel thing doesn't work on Linux!

That's pure consumer skill issue. You're retarded and you need help.

>i do it once a month on arch and my install has never bricked
t. Has only been running Arch for one month

>>108624762
A year and a half.

>>108624864
Are you running a DE or some sort of minimalist shit?

literally unemployable

>>108623153
those who don't know Stallman are doomed to repeat talking points he doesn't care about.
If corp goys want to be cucked by the big M$ cock, that isn't Stallman's problem.

>>108624757
>and you need help.
Isn't that why anon is here?

>>108624985
??? what does that have to do with not being retarded?

>>108625031
More packages installed = more things that can go wrong during a -Syu
I didn't have a good time with Arch 10+ years ago.

>>108625038
idk man I just install gnome, enable gdm, and it just werks.

>>108624985
>>108625038
Not really I use KDE and it just works. I indeed do not have a lot of packages however, I don't know how unstable arch used to be I was on mint before.

>>108623164
Get any "easy" distribution and just follow the instructions carefully. If you can follow instructions you'll be able to install anything. Similarly just Google "installing games on Linux" and again follow instructions. If you get a error don't panic just copy and paste the error into a search engine or llm en read around. Keep in mind you have nothing to lose and you'll be fine.

>>108623153
>ATM machine
Stallman has no money
>A Kiosk to order food
No need when all the delicious food fungus is right there, ripe for the picking
>A cardio machine at the gym
lol

>>108623131
you used an ATM... windows

>>108626203
>>108623153
stallman does not use nonfree atms, he asks the teller directly
no nonfree kiosks, instead ask the cashier
stallman obviously has never used a treadmill in his entire life
