Are you dumb because the device you're on uses proprietary firmware?

I still believe OP has given us something to discuss here by pointing out the current state of game compatibility.

If you don't, then I suppose there's nothing for you to see here.

But I think you meant condemn, not condone.

You're right, I used the wrong word.

It's literally the only point they made. The rest is their justification for that point.

As a community we will achieve nothing if we dismiss these posts as "op said windows is better". We should be looking into why they feel how they feel.

Suboptimal game compatibility on Linux is a point that should not be discounted. We know that Linux is mostly there already, but there's still some amount to go.

as dumb as going to a windows forum as posting about having moved to linux

Which is exactly what is happening on Windows-related posts all over Lemmy.

OP even said that Linux is all good if you play single-player games.

It is you who chose to interpret the post as "Linux bad, Windows better".

Do you think OP would have tried Linux in the first place if they genuinely thought that?

Popping into a Linux community to stick your tongue out and letting folks know you are going back to Windows? That's no better than a troll.

This post is opening up a discussion on game compatibility on Linux. Switching back to Windows is just one point OP made, which you decided to focus on.

If you decide to view this as a troll, you should also condone the people who invade Windows-related Lemmy posts just to advocate for Linux.

Why so hostile? Responses like yours are not going to make people come back to Linux anytime soon.

Is anyone keeping you from opening the bad instance in your browser? No.

If you want to go there, make an account there.

Name one reason why anyone should federate with any of the listed instances. I'll wait.

I think they were asking about legitimate benefits of adding weights to consumer electronics.

Here's to hoping Hello Games releases this one on GOG as well.

You have been banned from c/firefox.

It's not a circlejerk. It's called the network effect and it's a legitimate phenomenon.

Yes, I am.

You need to understand that an online library on Steam et al is not ownership.

Having the files on your own harddrive, without any dependencies to external services, that is digital ownership.

Not any game. Games that depend on third-party DRM may still demand a brief internet connection during offline mode.

You conveniently left out that Valve can terminate your account for reasons unrelated to the games you'd lose that way.

A good portion, yes. The rest you'll have to crack.

Just because you don't care about backing things up doesn't mean nobody else is.

How do you think PS2 ROMs are uploaded?
