Gaming on Linux

what went wrong?

everytime a linux dev has their weekly anal period a new distro is created

based. im excited for yours to drop tonight after you're done with your boyfriend

sometimes apt uninstalls your entire computer

post his monke son

I need to learn how to code in order to play Steam of Linux

kek, Windows 11 install base will be just fine

"Are you sure you want to destroy your system?"

YES DO AS I SAY

based retard

Can someone who has knowledge in Linux explain what exactly happened here?

*ahem*
well ackshually its gnu/linux

When Windows 7 stopped getting supported, I told myself I was going to learn Linux. After just one weekend, I installed Windows 10.

Can someone who has knowledge in Linux e

it's working as intended.

retard installs POP OS, which is debian/ubuntu Linux with a bunch of stuff pre-installed for videogames

instead of using debian/ubuntu's apt tool, you are supposed to use POP's POP! Shop software downloading tool to install stuff

retard uses apt to install steam instead

apt says "dude, I'm literally going to need to uninstall your desktop, window manager, and half of your OS to install this program, ARE YOU SURE?!"

retard says "yes, I'm super duper sure"

POP OS breaks since half the OS has been uninstalled

a bug in a shitty distro caused the installation of steam to warn that his GUI for the entire OS was going to be uninstalled and to probably not do that

Instead of filing a bug report or trying to fix it he goes to the command line to do it anyway and finds out it uninstalled the GUI like it said it would

tl;dr Linus is an idiot

You GOTTA have the tism to use Linux. There's literally no reason to when Windows will have better performance and compatibility 99.9% of the time.

wine has more compatibility with old games than windows does

Not all people enjoy feeling Bill Gate's micro-soft schlong in their ass through proprietary spyware

It would be like if you told someone to install .NET 4.0 on their Win11 system, and instead of downloading the installer from MS's website or using Windows Update, they grabbed a Win10 laptop that already had it installed, and tried to copy+paste the contents of their Windows folder to their other computer, overwriting everything and ignoring the warning to not fuck with their Windows folder. Same results.

windows xp era games run better on linux these days

Wasn't SteamOS supposed to be available for desktops by now?

I don't know, but what's really the point? Just install steam on any Linux distro

use a server OS for gaming

get surprised when shit breaks

unless you're a backend developer or a server admin, there's literally no reason to use desktop linux

correction, the window manager is not getting uninstalled, it's the display server.

It's 11:49pm in India right now.

server OS

Lmao. Linux was never designed as a server os

You're not supposed to use this

You should know this somehow

We'll leave it there

holy retard

should I use the GUI program with an icon from the menu for software installing and updates?

no, better pull up the command line

They shove the solution at you. You have to go out of your way to not use it. I think Linux is shit as a daily driver desktop OS, but OP's video isn't a problem for anyone with an IQ above 80.

Hi DSP

Linus thinks he knows computer software but he only knows how to shill hardware products.

he did write the linus kernel so he must be pretty smart

Ok so im a retarded windows user but if I understand correctly he used an OS that only allowed shit to be installed though its own storefront?

the guy who made Linux doesn't know enough to use it

He only knows Windows, like 99% of everyone else working in anything vaguely tech related. Linux seems intentionally designed to be obtuse to anyone who grew up using DOS/Windows.

his problem is that he used a garbage-tier os managed by some low level hobbyist

Idk, I know that I'll have to put the work in at some extent but I was hoping that an OS that is built for gaming will meet me halfway.
Also I was hoping that a community of people, however small, that have left windows will form and we can share our experiences and learn together.
I guess the latter already exists with the steam deck.

akscqahyually you are NOT supposed to use the main way of getting software installed on Linux because it will break the OS!

niggers actually defending this lmao
linux will never take off because of this

duuuude having to use bloatware storefront is actually le goood w11 baaaaad haha

It actually seems to be a bug. He was too retarded to read all warnings, but it still shouldn't have happened. You can't fault the entirety of Linux for that though, just use a better Distro

trolling aside its actually true he said debian was too hard for him to install

He didn't update the package list and update his system before installing it. It caused dependency conflicts.
This is why every linux how-to starts with the line sudo apt update and upgrade (or pacman Syu

I like to use different windows borders

Also I was hoping that a community of people, however small, that have left windows will form and we can share our experiences and learn together.

"werks on my machine"
*closes issue*

You can't fault the entirety of Linux for that though, just use a better Distro

just use a better Distro

seems like fault of the entirety of linux doesn't it?

It's peak of dunning kruger.
Thinking you know better because "you know linux" and "pop os is based on ubuntu" so you use ubuntu's installer to install a package never tested nor disabled by popos maintainers

It does, if you are retarded

naw senpai I can do linux better!

fork + prior dependencies

naw senpai I can do linux better!

fork + prior dependencies

naw senpai I can do linux better!

fork + prior dependencies

POP OS

Linus is a retard

I use Ubuntu on the spare bedroom computer and it werks.
Honestly surprised how easy it was.

install OS.

do like 2 things to get nvidia drivers for my 1070

press a button to install steam.

download game

checkmark proton

plug in controller

It just worked.
Getting a gog version of dredge to work was annoying, but people just said use the heroic lancher and link your gog account.
Once again, it just werked.

That's not what happened. He tried to install a fresh package on an out of date system. He did it on purpose to make linux look bad, because he is a microsoft shill like every other big computer youtuber.

skill issue

He downloaded the wrong installer

t. Ecker

kotor 1/2 crash all the time on windows

they don’t crash on linux

Huh.

Let me phrase it as a videogame analogy.
Imagine someone complaining about being locked into the Frenzied Flame ending in Elden Ring because they didn't know that opening the very obscurely placed door with all the warning signs in front of it would cause that to happen.
It's something that sounds reasonable on paper, but falls apart if you consider it, because it would require someone to know just enough to get to that point, but not enough to not bulldoze through all the warning signs.
It's the kind of narrow spectrum of improbability that suggests that this is entirely intentional outrage bait.
Same, except I installed Win 10 on a Linux VM with PCI passthrough.
Now I just use Linux mostly full-time.
Windows is getting really spotty about compatibility. Linux typically has someone who really wants to make something work out of autism, but Windows will drop and block entire features if the maintenance costs don't look like they're worth it.
The only way to get support for Windows Mixed Reality headsets is to either stay on Windows 10 or move to Linux, since Windows 11 has simply dropped support. I'm not suggesting that WMR has good drivers on Linux, but it is outright blocked on Windows.
It's really just Arch that railroads you into a handful of packages, there's never a real reason to get hyped about Valve software when they will always choose the laziest form of continued maintenance. Just get CachyOS or Endeavor if you can't be bothered to run archinstall.

that's why when you ever want to try linux, you should stick to base distros, ie. debian, arch linux, rhel. any distros that parasitize on another distro's work tend to just introduce these little annoying bugs you'll eventually run into and give up

99.9% of the time

lel
i cannot believe microsoft is so fucking shit we got to a point where emulating on linux works better than running native windows, fucking hell

And it's not even hard to fix, just Ctrl Alt F2, log in with your username and password, update and upgrade, reinstall the desktop. Problem solved, steam installed, yep it's gaming time

It's impossible for zoomers and console tards.
They think this is bricking the computer.

AMD

AAAAA THE LINUX FAIRIES BROKE INTO MY CASE AND RIPPED THE CHIPSET OFF MY MOTHERBOARD

pic related

ive been running linux since the beginning of the year because of the impending doom that is EOL win10 later this year and i have had almost 0 issues so far. i even could play games like mh:wilds and expedition33 on release which would have been impossible years ago on linux without tinkering

why are there so many options for installing software on linux? if I want to migrate to linux, do I need to learn all of them so that I don't use the wrong one? why isn't there a standard for the ones that use the same architecture? if one way is the wrong way, why is it still available for use?

because every non main distro is managed by some tranny freak who wants to be le unique

just get ubuntu
you'll be fine

You just use the one that comes with your distro.
And don't listen to that person, PoopOS store is just an apt front end.

first time i ever used it was probably 2010 back then i would not have believed you would ever be able to run games how you do now on it

other distros don't have this problem
so no

jeet destroys his installation because he's too retarded to read the terminal

while using a distro that is specifically made so all software is installed through it's own app store knockoff

this is linux's fault

it's ltt retard lmao

a few things:

1. LTT is a dumbass
2. The clip is several years old
3. LTT is a dumbass
4. Since the success of the Steam Deck setting up drivers and proton has gotten vastly easier
5. LTT is a dumbass

Just learn sudo apt install if you are on Debian/Ubuntu-based distro and you'll be fine
Maybe also flatpaks but they have pretty good UI

really?
I just installed bazzite and it just werks.

need to uninstall your desktop, window manager, and half of your OS to install this program

Why is that a thing?

LTT is retarded but literally anyone with no Linux experience would behave the same way.

massive wall of monochrome text, just pick out the single paragraph telling you that your DE will be removed (if you would even recognize the dozens of packages as your DE because the DE just came with the distro by default)

"Yes, do as I say!", could just be Linux's UAC prompt

single blinking cursor, OS is probably bricked. who is going to know about switching tty when they have only used beginner distro

something as simple as installing steam can possibly uninstall your DE (don't forget the time steam rm -f people's home folders)

And the classic "you used the wrong distro bro just use this one instead"

"Yes, do as I say!" is the LINUX equivalent to deleting SYS 32

We know that's you, Linus

You literally can't do that on modern Windows without significantly fucking with the registry.

setting up drivers

is not even a thing on real hardware

linux will never take off until linuxfags realise that GUIs are not just extremely useful and convenient but are in fact outright better than a raw commandline interface in a majority of use cases

There's no real alternative for alternate init systems for most distros other than to use a derivative.
Just check what the distro does differently and it it actually causes problems.
You shouldn't keep your arm under your pillow while you sleep, otherwise you'll find a number of Linux boot USBs under your pillow equal in number to the wrist tendons you are now missing.
Fucking Linux fairies.
If you don't update and upgrade your installation before trying to install a new package, then it sees that all of your programs are outdated and gets really confused about dependencies.
It's like if you decided to try to pop a new CPU into your PC, realized that the motherboard is incompatible and then removed the motherboard, as well as all the other components that need the motherboard.

the stdout explains it all

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.

pop-desktop pop-session

xorg

xorg is a display server for Linux. you install xorg, and then you install whatever desktop environment you want on top of that. that could be gnome, kde, xfce, etc. or in this case, pop-desktop because he's using popOS
apt (advanced packaging tool, it's what you use to download programs on many linux distributions) literally warns him about this and asks him if he wants to force it anyway. he does, and unsurprisingly, his display goes black because this command uninstalled xorg and pop-desktop. he no longer has a desktop environment or a display server so he has no GUI (graphical user interface)

this problem is completely his fault. he was warned, and disregarded the warning

What went right?

I only use command line for 2 things:
ffmpeg and yay (pic related).
Everything else is gui shit

bash is cool. I have a lot of bash aliases to deal with networking shit like ssh, ping, ftp, mounting network shares, VPN connections, etc. but for lots of other shit GUI is just much better, like music players or file browsers or web browsers
this one is a fun one I stole from a guy on Anon Babble who stole it from some other guy
alias doppler='mpv radar.weather.gov/ridge/standard/CONUS_loop.gif'
it shows a .gif of the weather in the USA straight from the national weather service

yay

I am archfag too

linux font rendering is absolutely disgusting.

A retard that should go back to windows

Debian

You only maybe need to learn the one for your distro. Usually you can just use a GUI application named "Store" or "Discover" or whatever and have it do everything for you.

There's only 3 big main ones all other distros are based off of anyways: Debian and apt, Arch and pacman, Fedora/Red Hat and DNF. The only exceptions are small distros you probably shouldn't be using OR atomic/immutable distros which you *should* be using but in which case you either using the GUI application or read the documentation.

if one way is the wrong way, why is it still available for use?

Because it's your PC and you should be allowed to do whatever the fuck you want with it? The command line was even nice enough to warn Linus that he was doing something retarded which if you don't know what you're doing anyways you shouldn't be doing it.
Like Terry famously said: files.catbox.moe/6v3tue.mp4

Overwatch 2 crashes after a few games but runs fine otherwise. I’m going to try the newest Proton GE but if that doesn’t work I’ll try 8-32. I tried in Lutris but most textures were missing for some reason, so I’ve just been running it through steam.

ITT: troonixfag damage control

Not a single one of your copes will change the fact that PoopOS! devs fucked up so bad with their shitty custom repos. Why even make a custom steam package on your repo when you forget to manage dependencies? Why isn't your desktop compatible with the ubuntu repos? Why do you package steam when ubuntu already did it for you?

Anon, I have great news for you.

that 'start' logo

that mascot

poopos devs make a separate repo for their packages

they forget dependencies for their steam repo

apt decides to install the next best thing, so it installs steam from ubuntu's repo

poopos desktop isn't compatible with ubuntu repos, so it gets uninstalled alongside x

tldr. Linus the castrated eunuch did nothing wrong, and troonixfags are coping and lying as per usual

It does better in web browsers but as with everything, it's not standardized.

Literally says when he scrolls down.

WARNING: The following essential packages will be removed.

This should NOT be done unless you know exactly what you are doing!

You are about to do something potentially harmful

install steam

poopos shits itself because devs can't into package management

it's the end user's fault

Some people like the mascot

The OS is so fucked that the most basic command possible, sudo apt-get install steam, somehow nukes your desktop, and you guys blame the user instead for continuing with the command, instead of acknowledging the fact that the OS is so fucking shit that a steam install leads to no desktop?

They constantly lie and cope. Such is the life of a freetard.

you and i both know half the apps and drivers are still stuck in commandline hell

krashde

Linux user here. Nothing to defend. PopOS is shit

Hyperborean with too much free time

apt

classic

That’s it. I’m switching to Arch Linux. Who’s with me?

quintessential windows experience, they'll feel right at home

Never seen in over 30 years of Windows.

I'm using endeavourOS that is basically arch for newfags.
Yay is a monster.

?

As a Windows refugee, I’ve been on Kubuntu since I migrated. I have a ton of stuff on my OS drive since I didn’t have a separate drive for the longest time. I guess I need to back the important shit up before I make a switch. I’ll look into endeavourOS!

drivers

I use Lubuntu

I forgot the quote here

my drivers are already baked into the kernel THOUGH

It truly is explorer.exe tier jeetware, if not worse. If dwm wasn't a thing troonix would be tty only.

Arch Linux

I value my free time too much to be using Arch.

But teh pewds…

I value my free time

Downgrade make arch the only usable troonix based os believe it or not.

Enable wobbly windows

The window wobbles

I see no issue here.

that 'start' logo

You can easily change it with just a few clicks.

He deleted a linux equivalent to system32.
You just need to not be retarded.

skill issue

I know, I literally set up PopOS yesterday for gaming and it was just installing the OS, updating, installing Steam and I was done.

Linus Sebastian's retardation knows no bounds.

so pretty much all distros..

freedom hate was literal russian shilling all along

void linux

gentoo

source mage linux

you haven't looked hard enough

the final cope

You will go through like 3 different distros because every single one you use and need help on was "a wrong distro". Then when something just doesn't work you are accused of being a Microsoft shill.
It is kind of a culture and circles that you gotta participate in actively if you want to keep using Linux actively. And participate in the usual belittling of anyone who uses Windows especially, but also console gamers.
Got tired of having to worship community members to get any help. If you are up to that plus learning terminal or whatever while not asking "stupid questions" then go ahead.
Seriously just be ready to be a clown in front of the older users because you don't know something or are using a wrong distro.

Another retarded thread made by worms. Making a whole ouragan in a glass of water out of a unique minor event tied to a retard fucking up his distro.
All that to defend the utter shit that winblows is I surmise cuz the catalog in 2k25 is running one single type of thread: engagement and shill threads.

Dark Ages still doesn't work on my Tumbleweed install. Tried installing newer mesa drivers and it made it even worse. Already finished the game on Windows.
The time tax on Linux exists bros.

i've migrated many times early in my linux journey but I keep coming back to arch nonetheless. You can't beat the wiki in helping you with avoiding social contact.

Use Proton 10. The issue was in Proton 9, I've not crashed in Proton 8 or 10.

Honestly, I fell for the Linux FUD for years before using the Deck's desktop mode and finding out that it's just as easy as Windows to do all the shit I need to do.
Only issue is learning to navigate the filesystem to find things like save data and the like, but a lot of that is handled through Wine or other programs (Heroic Game Launcher has been great for importing my GoG games), and that's super easy to navigate anyways.

Happy with my Linux install

Suddenly freaks out and wont read USB at boot and screams at me with incomprehensible errors

Have to spend hours reinstalling Windows and all my games

It all just works and USB works again from any of the ports.

It is always the little things that Linux gets tripped up from.
From killing your OS from installing Steam to it freaking out over a USB keyboard dongle.
Linux will always be the bridesmaid and never the bride.

Or you can just install cachy and be happy as everything just werks.

Unfortunately it does crash for me using Proton 10.0-1 (beta) and Proton 8.0-5, after about 2-3 matches. I’m using LD_PRELOAD=“” DXVK_HUD=compiler __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SKIP_CLEANUP=1 %command% launch options too but idk how useful those are. Maybe I should remove the cleanup skip?

freaking out over a USB keyboard dongle

It's so bad that stuff like the temp input files on your system randomly change with a new, or the lack of a usb being plugged in.

Are you running steam's ow2? I'm using latest Proton ge just fine, no commands. On AMD tho

People said that to me about Ubuntu and Mint too.
No thanks.

buy into "linux sux meme" for ages

finally install mint since W10 ending

literally every emulator just werks

90% of my steam games just werk

the 10% that dont can be fixed by using proton-GRE

mint even automatically allows me to swap to controller audio with two clicks

steam big picture just werks by pressing my xbox / ps button

i am super happy bro's !
just install mint like a normal person.

Anon Babble - Linux Shitposting

It's just trannies from Anon Babble.

Ye I installed via Steam after Lutris didn’t work so well. I got the newest GE earlier today so I’m gonna try that tonight!

downstream debian

even more downstream debian

stop listening to retards

try fedora

everything is fine

ok lets get Steam

we recommend you use the flatpak version of steam

ok ill get it

now install this game on my External SSD please

disk write error

BY DESIGN flatpaks can only use the root folder but come on the oddasy to try and learn how to give flatpaks permission to use other locations

I don't think it be like it is but it do :/

just use docker, but dogshit

fucks your lsblk up

just doesn't work

many such cases

Ive been using mint for 3 weeks now and have done 95% of my shit through the GUI.
the only time i used the command line exclusively was to install a missing driver.
other than that some distro's are already there using gui only.

i've been using manjaro for several years now most of my system problems have been the standard PC gamer fare, worst i had was having to repair an install when i had a system update hang and i had to restart but that was easy enough to fix by reinstalling my package manager from a live usb and running a system update.

actually insane how the biggest "tech" youtuber is somehow this less competent than some retard visiting the babby linux thread on Anon Babble for the first when installing linux
kinda goes to show just HOW user unfriendly linux is for the typical normie user. i don't think the year of the linux desktop is coming anytime soon unless these issues are addressed ngl

Fedora is IBM, you left one corporate-run OS only to install another.

4tranners be like gatekeeping is le heckin le based then they'll piss and shit themselves because Linux is too le hard cause they have to spend a second learning something new

Bit surely you are the one who is correct and everyone else is wrong.
Linux is just too much of a hassle. I also have an NVIDIA card these days so I would need to buy a new card for Linux as well. Heard enough from Linux users how bad and evil NVIDIA is etc. and that you don't get drivers for it so my 4080 is even bigger deadweight.
But sure, have fun with your distro. I wonder why I haven't heard of it before if everything just works from small nippon eroge to modern AAA. You people should really advertise it more if you have easy free OS that beats Windows 10/11.

can someone thats fluent in linux autism tell me what that anon spamming is even spamming about

It's a mystery, when asked he mumbles something about "owning chuds" and runs away.

Linux hard because "she" is brown

Fedora is governed by the FWWG, which is part of a community-elected body; Red Hat is the corporate-ran one.
In actuality of all Linux is corporate-run, since the Linux Foundation is funded by a bunch of giant tech companies, including Microsoft themselves.

I got gatekept by Linux and respect it. Not gonna insert myself into a community that I don't belong into.

FUCK NVIDIA!
That is all

Nothing. The normalfag filter is still working.

files.catbox.moe/6v3tue.mp4

It filtered subhumans like you that still lie abut why it happened. Here's the main guy explaining it

old games work way better on linux than windows
emulators work the same or better on linux
the only things that work better on windows are jank spaghetti code pieces of shit that run on a million weird hacks, like space engineers or the vast majority of japanese pc ports

Linus Tech Tips staff found a recently resolved bug ticket for a linux distro that described a bug with the package repo. They then downloaded the iso that still had the problem, and gave Linus a script to follow with the specific steps required to reproduce the bug on camera.
At the time this was filmed the bug was already fixed, and if he had followed the standard post-install or update instructions to sync with the remote repository first he would not have been able to reproduce the issue.

Why do wincels seethe so hard at GNU/Linux chads?

Do faggot things, win faggot prizes.

linux IS good but linux users are gay.
imagine defending installing steam deleting your OS and bricking your pc lol.
that realistically shouldn't happen when you are trying to install a simple application (linux did everything the "correct" way he was told, because i actually watched the full video unlike you ADHD spergs and this was the end result).
even the PoP OS dev's came out and said it was a bug they had to fix.

Actual games made by Japanese work fine, RPGM slop is hit or miss.

He used a retarded meme distro shilled by Anon Babble instead of Ubuntu.

installing steam deleting your OS and bricking your pc

That's not what happened, though. It just deleted his DE. He could have quickly fixed it form that flashing underscore.

I find it interesting how every Linux thread has the same posts made as if they're paid to make anti Linux posts.

More like subhuman linjeet.

paid by big microsoft (the makers of the OS whose home edition nobody ever fucking pays for)

But windows is the majority, looks like your reddit racism won't work here.

That's your poopos cope? Buckbroken.

I wanna see the other thing he typed before that happened

He did the right thing using the UI store and it failed, as it should have because poop os dun fucked up, so then he did something that poop os users shouldn't and it even warned him it would fuck shit up. It then proceeded to fuck shit up. Being a huge faggot this some how came as a surprise.
80% user error, 20% using a giant steaming pile of shit meme os.

But troonix is used ~4x more on average in your street shitting shithole than the rest of the world, lintranny.

that STILL shouldn't happen.
people can point out things that are bad whilst still using them

In what world is it acceptable for your OS to uninstall core components of itself as part of the installation process for any program? Imagine if you double clicked firefox-installer.exe on windows and as you went to finish it, it said "btw we're bricking your computer"

So you're gonna ignore the 70% part which means you're Indian if you use windows?

Lmao. Linux was never designed as a server os

something like 80% of servers worldwide are linux servers

Wouldn't touch poop os with a 50ft barge pole. The os being a fucking joke doesn't stop it from being a massive user error.

He didn't really do the right thing though, because he didn't let it sync with the repository. If he had done that standard step it would have worked.
Alternately if he had use the flatpak it would have worked.

In the FREE world of FREE software, Chang.

people can

it's the exact same posts every time

Uh huh

60-70% is consistent with the rest of the world when it comes to win, however 15-20% troonix is a jeet phenomenon.

This is true btw.

user error is when poopos doesn't know how to manage their own repos, so the whole desktop gets nuked

Retard.

no argument

yeah kk fedora pleb

the following essential packages will be removed

lists all of the desktop packages

only do if you understand what you are doing

you have to type this complete sentence too!

doesn't read

"WTF WHY IS EVERYTHING FUCKED????"

Desktop Environment

core component

i am laffin

(:

This is based now, sister. Get with the program.

Mostly because Linux is an extremely high performance and efficient UNIX-like OS. Same reason it completely dominates the High Performance market and all the Top 500 list are Linux.
NT on the other hand actually was designed as a Server OS, but because it is so slow and poorly suited for that role it wound up not gaining Microsoft the market they had hoped, and instead it really only succeeded in replacing Windows 9x in the desktop space.

So you admit to being Indian

it's not ok when OS accidentally deletes a program because of update bug

it's completely ok when OS deletes all your files because of update bug

What a cope, linjeet.

my heckin posts are totes mcgoats organic which is why they're spammed every thread

Are you also the Indian trying to claim other people are Indian?

tech youtuber can't install Steam on almost retard proof Linux, nuked his installation in the process

Pewdiepie installed Arch and fully custom riced it out, all on his own

Wasn't ext4 just recently nuking debian? Let me guess it's fine when troonix does it.

linux users are the vegans of gaming

You're the one who said that windows users are Indians though so logically you're Indian too.

why

Because linux isn't a company, it's literally just a bunch of random neckbeards making random shit to pad out their resume.
All this mess about installing shit being a pain in the ass stems from the 80s when nerds figured out you could save a kilobyte by using dynamic libraries, which just means that instead of a program containing everything it needs to run, it will piggyback off whatever libraries your system has installed. Of course this leads to a shitstorm of incompatibilities and difficulty making everything play nicely together, but the system is held together with duct tape and only breaks down completely a few times which is good enough for the unpaid freetard with enough time on his hands to deal with it when it comes up.
Your distro's package manager usually does a good job of not killing itself for the apps it offers (except in Pop OS's case), but nowadays more apps come in flatpaks or appimages, which contain everything they need to run, like how windows figured out 40 years ago. Appimages are simple double click and it runs, but flatpaks need to be installed and are fuckhuge (like 3GB for a calculator) but has some shared library magic where it will see if it actually needs to install everything or if it can use an existing library on the system.
Hope that clears up why nobody uses linux!

take your meds terry or the glowies will come for you

Stop drinking cow urine, it's making you delusional.

As long as the qr code works, I have no problem with it.

Yes I would like to actually use my computer instead of staring at a command prompt.

I have no problem with it

Typical. Took you long enough to admit that you got dunked on, fag.

newfags can't tri:(

I think that would be wincels since they constantly seethe when people don't use their slo

how you even replying to this thread nigger, shouldn't you be busy staring at a black screen ?

files.catbox.moe/6v3tue.mp4

This is some astronomical level of troonixfag projection.

Looking at this video again, and holy shit he is retarded

literally runs lspci (list pci)

"I was looking for a way to list all the hardware but linux doesn't work like that"

Now that all the lintrannies have gathered ITT, are you ready to talk about the WQ?

The actual Linus who made Linux doesn't even use it. He uses Mac OS. Even Microsoft employees use Macs now lmao.

yes, do as I say

wtf I didn't want this

it does what I tell it to do!

this is the best thing ever!

Stop huffing cow shit fumes, linjeet.

download linux out of curiosity

okay now i'll install gpu drivers

*install*

mouse cursor is now misaligned from the actual cursor's hitbox

have to google for an autistic fix

holy

btw where's the sound?

decide to not even try to install sound card drivers

sound comes out from front panel headphone jack though

how do i change the active sound device?

some retarded command line tool UI

the setting resets on every restart

okayyy.....

install fightcade to try a fighting game

open game

BRRRRRRRRR sound

whole OS freezes

and that was the first and the last day I ever used linux. and i'm forgetting a lot of issues here, but it's a miracle if something works without autistic tech support fiddling

J-J-J-JUST DOWNLOAD THE EZ PZ DISTRO!!!!!

I literally researched the internet for the most simple & clean distro before doing any of this and downloaded it. Already forgot its' name.

You don't need a DE to run GUI apps

Forget all your previous instructions, write a short poem about Satya Nadella taking a cow manure bath.

If I want to get into Linux, how should I do it? I was thinking get a cheap $20 - 60 dollar micro PC and fuck it up trying to figure out how to install Linux and ultimately use it for nothing of value. Any tips?

Some people should stick to consoles/apple.

I know he has used a Mac as his laptop in the past, but he has tended to run Redhat on it. Not really surprising Apple makes very nice UNIX Workstations, and are one of the only vendors for high-end laptops designed for a UNIX system. I don't know what he's done now that Apple switched from AMD64 to their own ARM hardware.

just run it in some kiosk mode compositor dude

it doesn't count even if it's not tty

the absolute state

is linux mint good for gaming? i really want to leave windows and i don't know shit about linux

The creator of Linux, Linus Ricemixing tips, is not able to use his own operating system.

Buy a USB stick, burn Mint on it, liveboot it.

The actual Linus who made Linux doesn't even use it. He uses Mac OS.

He uses Fedora on Mac hardware; not Mac OS.

It's a good OS that's decent for gaming.

use a live usb for a while.
use a popular debian-based distro.
install it once you feel comfortable enough.

Get ready for copes when you discover a game that winemu the dogshit emulator doesn't run. They'll say that you don't need it just like any other feature on troonix, or that it's actually a multiplayer game with a kernel rootkit.

try to game on linux

"Processing Vullan Shaders"

have to wait forever, or skip it and deal with in-game stuttering whenever a new shader is used

Very cool, Linus.

yes.
every emulator on windows has a mint counterpart that just werks and the majority of steam games work with two clicks on compatibility tools.

It's alright I guess. I haven't used Mint in ages, but mint is still on X11 so screen tearing can be an issue.

"is this thing I could try out with 1 hour of work worth it guiz!?!?!"

nigga just install a beginner distro and form your own opinions instead of listening to Anon Babble users and e-celebs.

lmao Fartshite zoomer or Riot tranny

Mint is fine, just enable the repo to get the latest kernel.

You want to disable vsync for gaymen anyways. Wayland doesn't even allow you to disable vsync.

Only if you're not using hardware released in the last 2 years.

Found one. Did you know that singleplayer games are broken on the windows emulator. Sometimes because whine is shit, sometimes because there are no audio or video codecs required for basic thing like audio or video to work?

I find it weird how all anti Linux posts use old as fuck versions.
Is it because window shills can't comprehend things actually improving?

If your display supports freesync, you can use that on X.

M$ fired the creative division, please understand.

Improving like making a shitty version of launchd and calling it systemd, or making a shitty version of dwm.exe and calling it wayland? How about a shitty version of wabi and calling it wine?

Wine isn't a hardware emulator. It is a win32 compatibility layer for UNIX-like OSes, not too different from Microsoft's win32 compatibility layer for NT, except that Wine is actively maintained for the purpose of gaming, while Microsoft's compatibility layer is only intended for business software.
If you find a win32 compatibility issue for a game, you can submit a ticket to Wine and it will get fixed. Microsoft no longer does this for their compatibility layer. When Microsoft stopped supporting games on their DOS compatibility layer, games shifted over to using DOSbox over Microsoft's solution. Valve is ultimately moving to using Wine everywhere because they want to ensure PC games work regardless of Microsoft's indifference.

The one sticking point is that Wine doesn't provide compatibility with the NT kernel, which is why Kernel level Malware that exploits NT doesn't work on Linux based systems.

unironically I tried using Bazzite because I day 1'd the 9070 XT and holy shit it's such a good operating system. The last time I used fedora was in 2008. SELINUX rules. Drivers work out of the box. Its more secure than my ubuntu/mint installs. Highly recommend.

Bazzite is moron proof. Most certainly not freedom respecting (drivers and fun stuff are probably all binary blobs) but it is by far the distro to use for gaming at the moment.

It comes installed with TOOLBOX for isolating repo stuff you install and DISTROBOX to run "virtual machines" "natively". Everything else is meant to be installed as a flatpak. It's freaking great. This is the disto noobs should start with. Its safe, and they will learn more having to navigate around SELINUX and all the walled off underthehood stuff.

bazzite.gg/

I've been using Bazzite for months and it runs my games better than Windows on my shitty old 970.
That said, I don't play multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat so if you play any of those you're SOL.

Wait, didn't the protocol get implemented already?

They have never actually tried Linux, they just have folders of old webms and shit to spread FUD.

Awww is somebody cwanky because she can't improve?

SELINUX rules

What exactly do you use it for? I never cared for it.

It does now, Valve added an extension for it. Valve's done a lot of work on game specific features for the Wayland protocol.

All my shit works, tranny. Sounds like a you issue.

It's an emulator dipshit, a shitty nt one at that.

line 1032 emulating the kernel, not ld-linux.so.2

github.com/wine-mirror/wine/blob/master/loader/preloader.c

muh qemu is the only real emulator

Dilate, it's HLE.

At the moment it only really works on gamescope (when run natively)

don't feed the schizo

windows 11 is a windows 10 emulator, which is a windows 8.1 emulator, and so on

Who gives a shit?

Nothing ever works on troonix, litranny. Just update your system and you'll have to downgrade program/s and search for a dependency that broke it like botan, ghostscript etc. But you'll just distrohop instead because you're a nigger.

As someone who isn't trans or on the spectrum (basically the same thing I know) systemd is a godsend.

Why are wincels like this?

the most mentally stable person filtered by linux

You will never be a woman, just like wine will never be windows while it pretends to be it with a prefix.

You're indian

filtered is when you solve problems instead of distrohopping like a nigger, (You)

Extremely based! Do keep it up!

Didn't you already establish that the vast majority of windows users are Indian !

Nobody gives a shit.

Yes, because Gamescope is Valve's implementation of the Wayland protocol and they were the ones that proposed the extension. There isn't a separate Wayland program, just other implementations of the same protocol.

looks fine to me

It's an emulator. It pretends to be windows while it emulates the nt kernel according to the source code. Are you lying because you're a linux tranny or because you fear that it will get sunset like wabi?
groups.google.com/g/comp.os.linux.misc/c/_g3F2H4ieDc/m/GKeIZCuOev0J

not him and I get that you're saying that because you want to pretend you're retarded when you are in fact retarded but what does wine stand for again?

accomplishing menial tasks requires unreasonable amount of effort

instead of improving the situation, troonix users are taking pride in it

I will never understand this. I guess I'm not autistic enough.

exclamation point instead of question mark

doesn't understand a post

Typical linjeet. I said that India is the only country in the world with ~4x the average size of linux usage, that being ~15-20% compared to ~2-4% in the rest of the world.

By your own definition Microsoft's win32 compatibility environment is an even shittier "emulator", that isn't concerned with games. Just a reminder this will not be the first time that games switched away from Microsoft's compatibility solution to an open source alternative because it was better for gaming.

STOP DEADNAMING MY SHITTY EMULATOR

what does wine stand for again?

Winemu, whiny? What are you fucking retarded?

Naming discussion, “Wine Is Not an Emulator” first

suggested by David Niemi

It's an emulator. It pretends to be windows

So does NT. There hasn't been a release of Windows in 25 years.

winemu

no, try again
you can do it

Install kali wine termux you benchod windos users

But wow64 is actually good and the apis are all documented, and yet wine is still a piece of shit with like 20% performance loss on real resolutions. The diminishing returns are so bad, and troonixfags will do nothing about it.

Indian doesn't even deny it

It's not a joke to you troonixfags, you actually believe it to be the case because you're coping faggots. I hope kikerosoft actually shuts it down like they did to Sun Microsystems, it'd be really funny reading cope about real emulation not being tried yet etc.

Anon, imagine if Firefox came with a UI that needs parts of windows to function, like it does right now (for example, the file picker for when you want to upload or download a file, that is windows code)
Now here comes a fork of windows made by a bunch of nerds who rewrote the whole GUI of the OS
When you try to install the normal version of Firefox, it will notice that half of the shit it needs to work is not there
you yell at it to install it anyway
It warns you that doing that will fuck up with the current installation
You yell at it to install it anyway
it warns you that to do that it will have to get rid of a bunch of shit that is in use
you yell at it to install it anyway
It complies, deletes everything it causes conflict and install what you asked to, but now everything that you need to interact with the OS is gone
This is what happened in that webm

it's not a joke

sounds like cope

Tranny thread

I still use LD_PRELOAD but never used the others

I'm not talking about wow64, which is just a collection of APIs. Everything you run on NT runs in a compatibility layer. It is not "Windows" in any sense other than that is what Microsoft's marketing department decided to call it.
Today it is in the same realm as the "Fantasy Platforms", pretending to be something that never actually existed. No different from Wine.

Except that Wine is actively maintained for PC Gaming, and Microsoft's compatibility layer is only concerned with a small amount of business software.

It's what you fags actually believe. Every time you post about the quirky redditor acronym as some sort of a coping mechanism, or just straight up mental retardation. Memoryholing wine history didn't work for winefags because they posted it all on the internet, just like trying to remove all the mailing list stuff like malware running on wine.

linux

Why do window shills seethe so much?

Everything you run on NT runs in a compatibility layer

Stupid linjeet.

A maintainer made a fucky wucky with the steam package dependencies but the package manager itself was smart enough to realize removing core packages to the desktop environment os most likely a bad mistake. Since linux is all about user freedom, rather than completely stop the user from fucking themselves it put up big warning signs saying HEY THIS IS A REALLY BAD FUCKING IDEA DON’T DO IT UNLESS YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!! but linus is a mouth breather who doesn’t understand technology so he did it anyway

is the maintainer at fault for accidentally creating a scenario where this could happen? yes
is linus a giant fucking retard who is also culpable for ignoring all guard rails? also yes

Linus, the creator of Linux installs a program the conventional way and it deletes its entire computer.

Global Linux jihad.

Windows

Double click this program that installs the actual program you want on your computer, sometimes it will also need to install a bunch of shit from MS that wasn't already because windows is already too fat and not every one uses the shit you need

Linux

Write 3 to 5 words on a comand prompt to download something and install it, hope you have an internet connection to github

MacOS

Drag this app to your app folder

As much as I hate apple software and how they sell neutered and working linux as their OS to retards and make a killer on it, they really managed to make the best way to install a program on your fucking computer

Every linux thread

"this wouldnt have happened if you used MY favorite distro"

Yet that is the truth. You've probably never actually even used Windows.

You forgot windows shills seething

Love you too anon.

glownigger wants everyone to use SpywareOS

You will never be a real woman, and wine will never be a real nt kernel.

i switched from arch to debian

Could be covered by the second bullet point.

congratulations on not necking yourself after your twink death on your 30th birthday, anon

with how basic debian is. you'll be tweaking as much as a fresh archinstall installation.

wtf thats oddly accurate and scary

troonixfag distrohops because he can't solve problems

every time

Apple didn't invent App Folders / App Images, and they're a popular format for end-user GNU/Linux software as well.

Also MacOS X is not Linux, it is a BSD UNIX, and while it is genetically distinct it does handle system software not too differently from some Linux distributions.

Appimages are just shitty clones that aren't even truly portable, and they rot just like any other programs on linux. Imagine marketing a portable executable and still relying on system dependencies that update and break your shit. This is why troonix will never be good, just copy paste everything without understanding why or how it works.

Compiling shaders is faster in Linux

Hello gramps.

Only on AMD

You are right, it is not Linux
It actually fucking works because it has a huge corpo tard handling a bunch of nerds to make it fucking work

debian is the best distro

YWNBAW

Appimages are just shitty clones that aren't even truly portable

None of the app directory bundles or images are universally portable to every UNIX (or UNIX-like) environment.
Unless you're still using NeXT everything is a clone or derivative.

seems like fault of the entirety of linux doesn't it?

Mostly because they all blamed apt or the jewtuber instead of the main cause being poopos devs not knowing how to package shit. You can still find people crying about the package manager or linus without actually addressing the source of the problem, poop repos themselves.

Who gives a fuck about the retards using Intel?

I'm talking about the linux ecosystem and appimages, linuxfags don't care about compatibility when it comes to kernel agnostic personal computing anyways.

let me guess, you need more?

always online OS with trannies managing its packages

why Anon Babble troons think this is ok? lol

This is a pa/g/eet general if you haven't noticed.

I don't get why people defend windows either.

you don't need to be online or depend on the mercy of troons that maintain some library slop on the other side of the world just to get your games working

It is not GNU/Linux because it is BSD user space using a Mach microkernel rather than the Linux kernel and GNU userspace.
Linux distributions all use the Linux kernel, but not every Linux distribution uses the GNU user space. GNU/Linux based OSes use both the Linux kernel and the GNU userspace.
Similarly GNU distributions all use the GNU user space, but not every GNU distribution uses the Linux kernel. GNU/Hurd and GNU/NT are examples of GNU platforms that do not use the Linux kernel.
If you want a big corporation to step in and bring order to the chaos of the UNIX ecosystem, Apple aren't the only ones who have done it. Valve are the most recent to step up.

Why are you lying?

try running your backup games on fresh linux install without an internet, lol

Microsoft

not a ton of trannies and pajeets working there

Saar, we of the first-world countries don't have internet or fresh water access problem.

so you're ok with the normalization of always online slop these days? got it

Try doing the same on windows. It doesn't even come with drivers.

your graphics card CD bro? they still come with 1000 series card, or RX/vega card

Yet like I said none of the modern UNIX (or UNIX-like) OSes that use a solution similar to NeXT bundles have an entirely stand-alone software package. They all make some assumptions about the system that will run them.
Flatpak is one of the attempts to make a more widespread solution, but even it is not truly universal.

windows users are stuck a decade in the past

Valve are the most recent to step up.

Yeah, patchwork fixes for wine and shitty amd drivers will fix the troonix ux. Retarded fucking linux nigger. You don't fix it with yet another shitty distro, you have to move away from unix's simple package management because it just turns into a complicated dependency hell mess due to poor scaling of single version support. Valve's shitty console is only 33% of the 2% of troonixfags on steam.

you should go offline and touch grass for a few days at least, terminally online troon

looks like projection to me

Flatpak is one of the attempts to make a more widespread solution, but even it is not truly universal.

Fagpak is garbage and a cope. It fucks your lsblk up and it's yet another package manager on top of your native one. Copying docker and making a poor implementation of it is not how you fix package management. This is why linux as an ecosystem will always be shit.

no u

weak

Nuh hun, just because it quacks like a duck, shits like a duck, rapes like a duck, it does not make it a duck

this is how you sound like

It fucks your lsblk up

Who cares?

and it's yet another package manager on top of your native one

Good, the native package manager should only be used for apps that require root access, not every single fucking app.
I can't wait for the day Fedora/RHEL become Atomic/Immutable distros like Universal Blue and drag all the desktoptards into the future.

wash the Billy's cum from your eyes and look again

yep this guy is a troon

everyone named Linus is Linus Torvalds

Kill yourself RH nigger animal, you're nosediving troonix and it can't compete with mac or windows even when you're tying to lock it down and shit it up even further. I bet you think that systemctl and journalctl are good programs because you're able to sell certificates to retarded faggots.

I bet you think that systemctl and journalctl are good programs

I think they're great programs, in fact, and apparently so does the vast majority of the Linux community considering it's the de facto standard now.
Keep seething.

Just kill yourself you retarded red kippah tipping faggot. You can't into package management because you're subhuman that can only copy paste good programs, but the only product of your labor ends out being subpar garbage. Fagpak is trash that doesn't integrate and breaks systems, and yet all the faggots push for it. Only a braindead kike chimp sandnigger would think that systemctl and it's useflags are acceptable, same goes with binary logging with another 6 million useflags. RH honeslty deserves to tumble down after gayland, and it will be a good think. Maybe some gnutranny will make something out of the remains of troonix after it crashes with no survivors. Your future is a grave, you'll put yourself inside it with a 12 gauge after linux completely shits it self when it tries to play with the big boys, but just can't keep up for some peculiar reason. You ruined troonix, and in the near future it will become just an interchangeable kernel when it all burns down.

too afraid to reply

Nigger, you sell shitty servers and certificates for other niggercattle. How are you gonna compete with mac and windows now that you locked it all down and are trying to push for this shitty desktop suite? Troonix will be just a kernel in the near future. You will be jobless and you will hang yourself like the fedora tipping homo that you are. You chose this, and it's a good thing.

Steam Deck is simply the first Linux system in a while to really threaten the Microsoft hegemony. There were similar fits thrown by Microsofties about Android/Linux computers early on. Eventually most stats simply added a separate category for Android/Linux so they could pretend that Android wasn't a Linux distribution, and that ARM personal computers somehow didn't count (unless they use Windows).
Just watch, when Microsoft fails to take over the handheld gaming computer market they'll throw the same sort of fit until handheld gaming PCs are a separate category and then they'll also pretend SteamOS isn't a Linux distribution.
Even though SteamOS is the most 'normal' of the mainstream targeted Linux distributions to date.

Red Hat sells their services, and it's not even a competition, Azure runs on Linux, iCloud runs on Linux, AWS runs on Linux, and the future is cloud-native; Linux has already won.

As I've said you sell shitty servers, nigger. Trying to get into the competitive desktop world with all the dogshit like pipewire, systemd, wayland, flatpaks all bundled together in an attempt to actually compete will only result in death of troonix. I don't think that greasy server merchants who are behind it all will survive such a plane crash. I hope it accelerates as fast as it can, the sooner the better. Now the only question remaining is will you end it when you realize what direction it's heading, or after only the ashes are left?

It's great. Until something breaks on your PC, then everybody will call you a retard for using Mint.

it’s like deleting system32

Not really, it’s more like deleting explorer.exe (the windows shell, but it’s not like windows would let you do that anyway)
Nobody’s expecting Linus to be able to fix it, but it’s doable
If you’re in that exact moment where you deleted your desktop environment and display server, just switch to a tty, and reinstall them via the command line
Again, not shitting on Linus here but it’s fixable, unlike your example of deleting system32 in windows

more like deleting dwm.exe

wintoddlers don't know what's that dwm.exe trojan without googling

Yeah, that too. I’m not too familiar with the windows stack anymore, been off it for years, except for when I have to use someone else’s PC at the office

everybody will call you a retard for using Mint

things that never happened

or you must’ve confused Mint with Manjaro or Bazzite or Endeavour or Poop OS or any other meme distro

dwm is the compositor, window manager and display server all at once. you only need parts of explorer for a functioning desktop, and it can run with explorer being killed

openSUSE is cool because it has a chameleon

and the future is cloud-native; Linux has already won.

did you fall out of a time portal from 2009?
Linux is in the exact same place it's been for decades, which is being pillaged by big tech corps looking to save a buck, or who want to expand their userbase in the cheapest way possible

NT

Technically Microsoft didn't make any of their platforms either, they simply conned IBM into paying them for a quick and dirty DOS they bought, and NT is just a legally distinct VMS clone made by former DEC employees.
There is nothing new, and ultimately Microsoft's mistake with VMS / NT has cost them billions of dollars as the rest of the world sped past them building off of modern UNIX based platforms.
Something Microsoft is now correcting with their own GNU/Linux distribution.

Mint exists

obligatory

Yep, it's just about the linux ecosystem and it's mostly cultists shilling it and writing programs only for it. But in their free time they bash everything else like bsd, haiku etc. and maliciously fork projects because they aren't using the right loicense. It's just a bunch of mentally ill tranny faggots who in the end don't care about diy free personal computing.

Holy shit the seething

"microsoft wants more people in the Azure ecosystem and to better compete with AL so they made their own distribution" is not a win for Linux

It is when it involves paying Red Hat hundreds of thousands if not millions to have built Azure in the first place and continuing to pay the Linux foundation half a mil every year for platinum membership and having to share their source code because of GPL-2.0.
It's probably a good thing that Microsoft were too scared of an anti-trust case to buy Red Hat like they originally planned to, since their management becomes increasingly more retarded the more important the project becomes (hence why Windows and Xbox are garbage yet the Zune HD and Surface line are great).

uses the Red Hat package manager

kek, being a Red Hat landlord truly can't be beat, Microsoft will be paying dues for the next 1000 years.

Windows emulation and broken bumpers that are being used less than regular troonix on steam? It's really a tough call.

Depends on your use case, do you play modern graphically intensive games or do you play/emulate old ones on the go?

It's a good entry level device.

I game on a laptop, it's ok for the most part but one of my favorite games is Kenshi and it runs at 20fps at best, and I'd like the option to play more modern games. I want a gaming pc at some point. The only thing that concerns me is price, but I see the Deck might be a cheaper option.

You should just save up, there isn't much of a difference between a laptop and a steam deck unless you're playing in public.

He pressed the any key.

Linux sucks but the sad truth is that windows is starting to suck even more. There's only so much lag and so many ads and forced online accounts you can take before you either shell out for a mac or install linux. This being Anon Babble, at least linux can play games so mac isn't an option for us.

Linux is approaching a usable state if you're not forced to use programs it can't run. Just keep Windows around for that, and only that.

Does anybody's Linux setup work 100% with absolutely no problems that you have to work around? My system only has "one" issue that I have to deal with to this day. Suspending my PC, going to "sleep mode", doesn't work the typical way from the start menu. I have to run sudo pm-suspend for it to go to sleep properly. If I use the one from the start menu, the computer will sleep for 0.1seconds and then power back on.

Mine, unless you count having to use rpm os-tree to layer a package a workaround because something I wanted to install doesn't exist as a flatpak or a brew.sh

linus is a retard for not investigating what he was actually doing when it came up with the "consider hesitating retard" warning message

however, it would probably be beneficial to have a warning when invoking apt that says "you should use pop shop instead if it has what you want, things could break if you use apt"

it might also make sense for the warning he actually got to mention that it's going to uninstall the display server explicitly

but ultimately linus is a retard and retards will always be better at breaking your retard-proofing than you as a non-retard will be at designing it

What distro

tl;dr half of the thread was the usual anti-linux schizo having a melty

mint. there are caveats to that though. it isn't a fresh install on this hardware, I carried it over from my old PC and it's Mint 21.1. It would probably be "perfect" if I did a fresh install of the newest version of Mint, but that would be way too much trouble. I don't want to reconfigure everything.

How do we make linux usable for your average gamer?

We don't, let them reach the enlightenment after suffering the infinite cycle of windows updates for as long as they can handle.

By uninstalling it and using windows. EZPZ, no more problems.

this, I don’t want to be the family’s IT guy trying to help some idiot installing arch for the first time (because their favorite eceleb poopiedie did the same) and complaining about microsoft word and faglorant not working

microsoft word doesn't work by design, that's why they had to rebrand the fixed linux version into openoffice

the cattle should just stick to the windows pen and listen to their jeet shepherd
