And that doesn’t change my point because even automated it takes time.

It still takes time to download things, data only moves so fast and not everyones internet is the same.

I don’t think it’s a year to setup the software. Rather a year to load it lol. I’ve spent probably close to 4 years loading content into my Plex server and I don’t see any end in sight.

You can make up all the reasons you want, the end result is the same. People use windows because the product works better and more reliably. If you want to split hairs be my guest but every metric windows wins against Linux in gaming. It has a higher user base, more software, better support, and as you said even entire businesses developing stuff for it because businesses go where the customers are. Sure you can say “oh they just greased some palms”, but if you knew anything about the gaming world that doesn’t mean jack shit if your games and hardware sucks. The graveyard of failed hardware and software prove that. As much as I love steam and I’m glad the steam deck is having success every other Linux based hardware attempt they’ve come up with has failed hard like their console and steam link. And what’s your point about some games running better? Some games run worse too, beyond the fact your statement admits not every game runs better, how does that make Linux superior? Your example about companies also doesn’t disprove anything because a company can do that…but hasn’t in the entire 40+ years of Linux existence…curious isn’t it? Also you can program driver’s for windows too for devices lol, how else do you think people tinker with stuff? I mean I’m using a PS3 eye as a webcam on my Windows PC rn with custom community made drivers just like Linux does …

Sure, games. Proton/wine came a long ways but it’s far from perfect or has the same depth of software as native windows. Also potentially having to mess with lutris can be annoying. Graphics drivers are also better on windows too. If you’d like to try to argue this just look at protondb. Is it a 100% compatible with every title? No? Hmmm… Not to mention proton triggering some games anti cheats.

It’s also why there are several memes including the one posted just yesterday or the day before about “cheating” on Linux with windows for gaming. Plus the whole standard advice ive seen on Lemmy being “Linux for daily driving, windows partition for gaming.” Now again, why would that be the standard advice? https://lemmy.world/post/5834366

^—thread in question where Linux gamers commiserate their difficulties getting certain games to run on their Linux systems.

Linux is fine, windows is okay if you disable the telemetry, just use what ever os and software you want but it’s really silly to make false claims.

ive heard this for years and i always laugh, “there is nothing windows does that linux doesn’t!” yeah, totally man.

As much fun as I’m having with starfield(150 hours since September 1st, because yes I pre-ordered but it was also the first time I’d pre ordered a game in a very very long time ) that was my take on a lot of its issues. I won’t say they did no QA playthrough but it certainly feels like they didn’t do enough and that was after delaying the game even for like an additional 2 years. Supposedly they were all set to launch the game in late 2021 but Phil Spencer paid them to work on bug fixes for longer. Then nonsensical design choices like not having med pack counters where your grenade counter is or a “current equiped power” info area above your current equiped weapon info area on the HUD in 2021 or 2023 is laughably unthinkable. But the meat of the game has been worth the questionable sourced veggie “bugs” on the burger as a whole imo.

When some stupid high percentage of animal test subjects die from the test, you would think they’d work on the product more before moving forward. Instead they’re like “welp caused paralysis and death in the majority of our animal test patients, this is totally ready for human tests!”

The thing they’re refusing to do by forcing everyone to snitch on themselves? Yeah I’ve heard of it and when you investigate shit you don’t gotta rely on people arbitrarily snitching with 0 evidence just to avoid the bull shit. What’s next? Someone gets a DUI on campus and they bill everyone for the damage and take away everyone’s licenses?

As the computer nerd in my friends/family circle, Im constantly being gifted old PCs from people. Some I keep and repurpose into servers/other things and others I just recycle for them. I also am an avid PC gamer so when my rig gets retired I usually upgrade the other servers internals from parts I had left over. Don’t know if something else is viable for you to keep costs down, even if you can get the PC without a HDD but everything else.

Oh no I quite have, no where did I say people wont find ways to kill each other. But religion isn’t the bloodless doctrine it portrays itself to be. But since you mentioned the Holocaust it is arguable that was a religious motivated event as people saw Hitler as a infallible god. Nazi ism was their religion and nazis even messed with the occult.

Mother fucker up there acting like he ain’t ever heard of the crusades, Spanish inquisition, Salem witch trials, or the genocide of the Buddhist population in tiabet to name a few, though the Buddhist population genocide could be argued as atheist since it was perpetrated by CCP who don’t believe in most religions.

Sure we do, “who’s your co conspirators?”

I do but I never bring it up to switch I just use my 1-0,[ ] keys.

Iunno I could see them adding some sort of tiny 4x4 or even a motorcycle. Could even make it so you have to keep it in a hab on your ship so it makes sense it spawns when you land.

I wish they’d add a medpac item count to my hud like the grenades. Get tired of having to constantly go through 4 menu screens to get that info.

I mean people are trying to say it’s another FO76. It’s not even remotely close to another FO76.

I’ve had 0 hard crashes but a few soft crashes since entering the final stretch of the MSQ. Sarah and Walter are stuck “talking” to each other permanently despite Sarah being in my ship and Walter the lodge. And if I try to talk to either of them the game locks up whenever it’s time for the other npc to chime in and I have to reload. I also had a random soft crash where I couldn’t enter the lodge from new Atlantis no matter what I did until I restarted the .exe(I’m thinking it’s related to the convos bug I’m experiencing). Also the weird movement bugs like someone walking away from you during a convo or crew members floating in or through random places in my ship. Also have a flashing texture issue for a few seconds after accessing the inventories in the armory ship habs.

Outside that I’m getting 50-70 fps with mostly high settings at 1080p.

Lol

He literally caused deaths in Ukraine for violating his dod starlink contract because he personally felt if Ukraine kicked Russia ass too hard, Russia would nuke the world.

A CIVILLIAN JUST DECIDED TO CAUSE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES DEATH IN UKRAINE BY NOT HONORING HIS CONTRACT BECAUSE HE INSERTED HIMSELF WHERE HE SHOULDNT OF. Oh and the cock sucker STILL is out here lying starlink hasn’t been paid for the use of that when the fucking American DoD and European DoDs PAID FOR UKRAINES FUCKING ACCESS

That’s having too much power. Honestly just that alone I feel should put him up against a firing squad but that’s just me.
