  • As I understand it it’s the anti-cheat that is the problem. If this is the only problem there is essentially only two possible ways to get Fortnite running in Linux:

    1. Get Epic to support Linux
    2. Crack the anti-cheat.

    Since a major part of anti-cheat systems is preventing people circumventing it I would say that the easiest path would be getting epic to support Linux. One valid argument would be to play Fortnite on Steamdeck .




  • It’s a well known fact that every second major release of Windows is crap.

    • Windows 95 was not the best.
    • Windows 95OSR2 was the one you wanted.
    • Windows 98 sucked.
    • Windows 98 2nd ed. worked as the former should have.
    • Windows 2000 was great but had no support for running games.
    • XP solved that and made people leave Windows 98 (I deliberately left out the clusterf… Windows ME.).
    • Windows Vista sucked balls.
    • Windows 7 was what Vista should have been.
    • Windows 8? Metro on phones, yes! On desktop? No no no.
    • Windows 10 got Microsoft back on track again.

    I thought the new upgrade scheme (2 editions per year) Microsoft introduced with Windows 10 would be like “every second release will suck” but it started to look like Microsoft were able to break the curse…

    …and then Windows 11 happened.

    “Hi, I’m calling about your recent interest in furry related content. We at Furry Fetish inc recently mailed you a catalogue of our products… Oh…you haven’t recieved it yet? Well, no worries. It was sent to 324 North Street…oh… You live on 325 North Street? No worries, your name is printed in large so whoever received it knows that is was for you and will probably deliver it to you…”



  • Unfortunately this is coming and a majority of people are going to happily step on to the train.

    Think of it like this: 99% of all apps could have been just web apps in a mobile browser (Hell, a majority essentially are just a wrapped web app) but because of companies offering more/better functionality people choose to use the app.

    All that needs to happen is sites starting require DRM functionality for “security reasons” so that the end user can enjoy more features.

    A majority of end users don’t understand the implications when making choices like these.
