Get credit for its strengths, mostly. That and play games with anti cheat bullshit.
ITT: people confidently asserting that Linux can't do things that it can do.
We got people pointing out software made by companies that go out of their way to make sure it won't work on Linux as if that's because Linux can't.
Yeah and I'm sure they'd respond "well it doesn't matter WHY, the average person just needs blah blah"
Yeah, ok sort of fair I guess, but imagine how good Linux would get if all the big software and hardware companies standardized on some support for Linux! It's this good now, despite the challenges outside the control of Linux devs. Fuck you, Nvidias all around.
Honestly don't see why all the big software devs wouldn't hugely benefit from leaving behind Microsoft's bullshit. It wouldn't be great short term for adoption time, but afterwards they're good!
That is a great point.
Can Linux mess with my default browser preferences every other time it applies updates? I'm pretty sure it can't.
Shit you got me there
