There’s a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft’s plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

Sorry to say, but I’m here to bring a more realistic take and to help keep all your feet on the ground.

quite relevant to yesterday’s discussion.

    I have 0 interest in this guy’s takes.

    He pushed an awful battle royale game that just took people’s money (including mine) and never actually launched.

    He also once got into a Twitter (edit: it was actually mastodon) argument with me when he posted about an open source developer being “selfish” or something like that for telling him “if you don’t like the readme, open a pull request with the changes you want made to it.” Long story short, I told him it wasn’t cool to make a post bullying an open source developer to donate more of their free time to something they didn’t want to do, and that they have every right to tell him “go do it yourself.” He blocked me.

    Yeah, he runs a Linux gaming website, yeah he talks about games that run on Linux which is cool, but … make no mistake he doesn’t have some deeper journalistic insight. If Microsoft does forbid kernel level anticheat, that will indeed be a game changer.

        Crazy Justice.

        I think I loaded it one time once it was “released into early access” and it was a completely empty game that was clearly unfinished then it never got updated. The developers disappeared entirely a while after that.

        On top of that, it caused a bug in my steam inventory for years where there was this glitched tab or something like that until I finally found out I could have the game removed from my account and removed it.
