[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago (6 children) Just ditch those games.not worth it permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 11 months ago (4 children) Ah yes the classic purist arguement. If the applications I want to use don't support Linux then apparently that's their problem. I wish I didn't have to live in the real world, but unfortunately I can't pay my mortgage in moral righteousness. If I can't use the programs I need to use my job, because I've decided to switch to an operating system that they don't support, I'm the one that's going to suffer. So no you can't just ditch applications that don't have Linux support. In the real world you have to dual boot and that's a pain in the arse because it means Microsoft are still going to be getting some money from me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [+] Holytimes@sh.itjust.works 1 point 11 months ago (2 children) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] RamRabbit@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) Yeah, some people get really defensive when you suggest they can get all the things they are asking for, and all they have to do is stop giving money to user-hostile developers. And saying kernel-level anti-cheat is hostile to the user is a massive understatement. Why would you defend Saudi Arabia having kernel-level access to your computer just to play a game? (It's crazy that that statement isn't even a joke in the context of EA.) I understand if someone decides not to take the suggestion, but it is still a reasonable suggestion to make. permalink fedilink source parent [–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 point 11 months ago I can't switch to purely Linux because I need windows in order to be able to do my job. The fact I also play games on the computer is irrelevant. I don't understand what you're not understanding. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 point 11 months ago It's a catch 22. If you need applications to make money sure. But games. Come on. I get a PC from my job, it has windows and that's their choice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago Maybe not worth it for you, but I'm enjoying them too much to ditch them 🤷 permalink fedilink source parent
