I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

      Man, I have an iPhone for work, issued by my employer, and I fucking hate it. Sure, it has a fancy camera and a slick-looking user interface together with a suite of proprietary apps that we use to track production, man-hours and the like, but apart from that, it really is a “walled garden,” and isn’t something I would ever consider for personal use.

      Again, I fuckin’hate it.
