The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    Requisite “you don’t need to wait for SteamOS” post.

    Gamed on Linux for over 2 years. The time is now. Shit just works (mostly).

    Edit: and yes, you can often get better performance on the same games with the same hardware.

      Same experience here. People waiting for steamos don’t know most good distros work how they think steamos is gonna. Games with kernel level anti cheat that are worth playing are few and far between. And fuck their communities for not rioting when their fellow members get removed from the game for no reason.

      My whole family largely uses Linux as our daily driver - ages - 40, 38, 18, 9, 7

      The only one not running Linux is my 38 year old wife.

      HOWEVER - my 9 year old got an occulus for Xmas, and suddenly we are dual booting and that’s a real shame.

      Because there’s a reason why Linux does not randomly use the disk like Windows does
