    Does selecting Other let you enter in some freetext? Because this is begging for some nastygrams.

      That’s exactly what I intend to do.

          It’s not all games though and I keep hearing easy anticheat doesn’t like Linux at all. I don’t want to limit what I can play just to stick it to Greedsoft just yet and I’m a bit of a nerd for star citizen lol I can’t imagine that would work well.

          Thanks for the link though! I’ll have to save that for later

            EAC and Battleye both support Linux these days, it’s just a question of if the developer enables it in their games.

        every game I play or want to play works pretty well on linux

        some software tho (e.g photo editing, pcb design, video editing, etc.) doesn’t work on linux

        but I don’t have enough storage to dualboot (128 gb) so I’m using Linux only

        I switched from EndeavourOS with sway to kubuntu since KDE connect wasn’t working

          No, microsoft licensed it. He bought a license. If you’re going to be pedantic without bringing any value, at least be correct.

            I wasn’t trying to be pedantic, just clarifying that users don’t own the software, they are licensed to use it.

            But go on, dick

              You weren’t being pedantic, you honestly thought that someone had the assumption that by paying $100, they owned the windows ip, and you were just helping them out?

              Suuuuure.

      Just put in something random each time.
