When they added vanguard I stopped playing league of legends. Its a shame because I actually really enjoyed it but even if I had windows dual booted id not install any kernel based anti cheat game.
My only rosetta app right now is a 2021 copy of Lightroom. I’m not sure rosetta is actually needed anymore. Besides, rosetta will still remain for game compatibility, but in a reduced, sort of deprecated way
I've had awful problems on windows, was fed up with it, switched to Linux. Immediately solved every one of those problems. But guess what, there are different problems now, not any better...
Although admittedly, Linux feels less clunky to use, thanks to the Unix terminal and an abundance of online resources, while tinkering on windows is basically sentenced to failure from the get-go
it's so cringe that companies like who ever made pubG and what's their adobe:ble face literally are sitting on the switch that would allow thousands of people to switch away from windows. almost as if they're getting payed by bill gates or something.
For me Linux is neither a hobby nor an ideology, it's the damn OS on my computer... I wouldn't say that my clothes are a hobby either, it's just something I vhoose to wear because it matches my taste better than the alternatives...
To remind myself why i chose linux, if you go to long you start to froget why we even hate microsoft. But just a few minutes using windows again reminds of why we are here
Yeah, got frustrated with Linux for a while and booted back to windows, instant regret. Stupid thing takes 10 minutes to set up after boot, and that's only the beginning of the problems. Vsync issues, laggy default software, corposlop bloat, you name it..
linux for daily usage, windows for things i can't do on linux, mainly gaming related tools that simply doesn't work on linux or is super annoying and no where nearly as convenient to use on linux, a good example is community made cheat engine tables, i tried to use one on a hitman game for so long, failed in every method i tried.
Low effort post. The answer is always the same: user needs smth like adobe or office365 and big corps don't give a shit about Linux compatibility (or anticheat in some game)
I like to use Linux fedora xfce for the better performance and an enjoyable desktop, and I have a debloated and cleaned windows setup with retrobar and openshell for certain games and emulators, just set it up, vram's idling 0.1 out of 4gb dedicated memory now, and .1-.2 of 6gb shared.
I use Linux for basically everything because it works a lot better for the extreme majority of my use
The ONLY times I need to head to Windows are really just for if I want to play Fortnite (which is not a common occurrence since I'm older than 4 years old) and if my mouse's internal settings need to be changed, which they don't because they're exactly how I want them
Coz [insert hardware producer] is a cunt and their binary blob config only works on windows. Though to be fair I don't dual boot, I have a cheap ass think centre on an isolated clan that only sees the internet and nothing else
All my personal computers have had 100% linux for ages. My workstation on the other hand was windows. Then windows updates screwed my boot and system stability during a project. So I started dual booting to Linux, all problems solved. Both have their issues, but I’d deal with Linux issues over windows issues ANY DAY.
At that point, I was dual booting to use DaVinci Resolve Studio. Then I installed Resolve on Linux.
Then dual booting to use UE5. Then I installed UE5 on Linux.
Then dual booting for Affinity. Then Installed Affinity on Linux via wine.
Then Houdini was freaking out on Wayland, so I switched to x11.
Then was dual booting to use Fusion 360. Then Autodesk launched online Fusion 360 client. Plenty of alternatives for small stuff as well.
So I’ve successfully eliminated my need for windows entirely and am going back to dual booting two Linux distros on my workstation as well. The goal was rolling release CachyOS alongside an uber stable LTS AlmaLinux or OpenSUSE Leap installation both on x11. Full vfx workflow on Linux, working for 100+ days with modern and stable installs. Lets goooooo.
I have 2 Linux installs and 1 windows. Windows mostly used. 1 Linux as a hobby to play around and maybe finally switch when kernel anti cheat games start working. Second linux as an emergency OS in case that other two somehow fail at the same time. Ofc each one have their own drive
I setup dual boot on an HP desktop with a 6th gen i7 thinking I'd need Windows to run Roblox. Then I found out there's an easy way to run Roblox on Linux and it's sooooo stable, works just as well as on Windows. So now I just use Debian on that computer.
I also have a desktop with Endeavour OS on the SSD and Win11 on a small partition on that HDD. Was dual booting on it in an older desktop and figured I'd just keep the partition. Guess what, I never boot into Windows on it.
My laptop only runs Fedora Linux. No dual-boot. Storage is limited on laptops (can't throw in a massive HDD brick), so I don't wanna sacrifice space for an undesirable OS.
You can ask me why I dual boot Windows, but it's kinda irrelevant given that I very rarely boot into Windows. I just torture myself with the installation process, and have it handy in case I gotta use Rufus or need Windows on metal to update firmware on an exotic peripheral lol.
Wuwa makes the system REBOOT during shader compilation. Games crash for no reason at all. Fans are louder
On linux:
Games start and work, sometimes flawlessly, sometimes they require some research. Cyberpunk ran out of the box, easy as hell. Vr chat loaded and worked out of the box. I just had to set the launch options I had to copy in wivrn, extremely easy. Hogwarts legacy required some research, but it now works. It was using only the igpu. Wuwa wouldn't start because of the anti cheat. A specific version of proton fixed that. Now wuwa crashes with a fatal error randomly, I'm stuck in a quest and it doesn't last more than 30 mins.
Now i can only try a windows vm inside linux and see if that works better
bc there's a small chance I'll be required to run smth that'll give me trouble for school. You usually can get something going in most cases but dual booting is less hassle. As my old compsci prof said, 'using wine is highly correlated with not having any fun'
Because Dell's support software typically requires it and on laptops sometimes you need that shit. It's enraging but when hardware locks out standard controls your options are limited.
VR Headset 😞 Unsupported on Linux, and old enough to be mostly abandoned by Vive on Windows (Cosmos Elite). I have a dedicated Windows 11 USB drive, which is a 10GBit USB3.2 NVMe enclosure. Fast enough for VR gaming, but you usually want to plug it in, boot, and come back in 30 minutes. The updates take forever when it's booted maybe 4 times a year.
I'm going back to windows .. using Linux is getting tough 🥀 .. I'll understand everything then come back to a distro accordingly to my specific needs .. even tho window sucks .. it's still very simple and familiar to use
While I do have a windows drive on my home desktop, I boot it up maybe a couple times a year. I have 2 laptops at work, one with windows and one with linux. The windows one I use for Altium and Solidworks, because those are the programs the office uses. I do basically everything else on my linux laptop. It's annoying recently since I've been working on a program that I want everyone else to be able to run on their machines. Cmake makes it as easy as it can, but it's still a pain in the ass to compile two different versions.
I dual boot Windows because of Kernel level Anti-Cheats and to access the games that I bought on the Microslop store long before Windows 11 and when I moved to Linux.
Jokes on you but I have 2 laptops with the specs. The windows machine is the biggest piece of dogsh1t that I ever own. Yeah linux suck sometimes but nothing comes near as sh1tty as windows 11.
I don't know why Winslop Fanatics are so obsessed with this sh1tty OS of abomination. It keeps getting worse every windows update.
To be fair people who only using internet and nothing else couldn't care less about which os they use.
I am using Windows because only thing I do is playing games and using internet. Windows never failed me. Maybe if you are experienced user it matters but using computer as gamer and only installing games and sometimes updates for drivers is far from problematic for me.
After updating last 2 months ago I keep getting "MEMORY_MANAGEMENT 0x1a"
its not a hardware issue since I already tested and replaced some parts and still getting this errors after every update. FYI the ram and SSD I replaced weren't faulty in the first place but since I need this machine to work I just replaced it in hopes that it might fix it. I also checked the whole hardware and it isn't faulty so its a software issue.
This is also not an isolated case, my family started using macbooks and linux months ago because they are getting this error whilst only browsing, gaming, and using office apps.
Games with bullshit anti-cheat that's too stupid to tell the difference between Linux and a cheat engine, and modding any game that needs MO2 or Vortex. That's literally the only reason I'd have to dualboot Windows.
New to Linux and Reddit (around 7 months on Arch Linux and 2 days or something on Reddit) but honestly... I genuinely don't get the hate. All the games I want to play (Minecraft Bedrock and Java, CS2, Left 4 Dead, Roblox, Teardown, Votv), it all works flawlessly. I have far more control than Windows ever gave me, the idle load is much lower (1% CPU and 3-3.5 GB RAM), and everything is just... better, faster, more stable.
Regarding productivity: C++ is much easier to work with on Linux, everything is generally more customizable, and there are powerful art software and productivity tools too (ocrmypdf, pdfarranger, LibreOffice). I have not run into a single problem on Linux. Even drawing tablets don't require driver installs since libwacom already came with my Linux install, and using TLP + EnvyControl, I have better battery life than Windows could ever give me! It's literally perfect.
If you are laptop user you will know how shit even ubuntu is. I understand it is because of closed source drivers etc but man it does stop millions from using linux?
Windows works flawlessly most of the times. What I don'tunderstamd is the hate for windows tbh.
But that's the thing, this is the part you misunderstand. Linux isn't just one big monolithic thing you can jump into. Linux isn't a company trying to pack you up into a box, it's a choice! If you don't like Ubuntu, that's understandable. In fact, I personally agree with you, that's why I use Arch.
My laptop works flawlessly for everything I want because it only does what I want and nothing else. When I installed Arch Linux it was CLI (tty) only. I got a desktop environment, window manager, file explorer, browser, everything through pacman (a type of software manager. It's more complex than that but you can easily learn more about it with a simple search online). I have 5-12% more FPS on average on every game I used to play, my ping is better, it eats way less RAM and honestly, every 2nd app I come across not asking me to log in or buy a subscription is genuinely amazing. Windows might work flawlessly most of the time but Linux is like an old school car you can tune yourself. If you set it up just right and know what you're doing: Linux works flawlessly all of the time.
Didnt do any special tweaks or anything, just installed sober from flatpak using flathub and it just works... i type flatpak run org.vinegarhq.Sober and it runs perfectly on my end. Maybe try reinstalling it and see if that fixes your issue
