League of Legends and other games by the same company require you to run an anti-cheat system that has more control over your computer than even you as an user can ever possibly get while windows is fully loaded. It basically controls windows itself - so all the tools that Linux has to run windows game are ineffective for these. It’s like the game is running windows instead of the other way around.

The other point is that games like LoL tend to have a weird effect on people. It’s not the case for everyone but most people I’ve met who play it, absolutely hate the game and feel miserable within minutes once they start playing - but they get cravings for it when they don’t. So they keep going back to play more and get mad at it again every day.

At the same time, people who don’t play those games and see the toxicity in it often meme about how the world would be better if it didn’t exist.

So the OP text is similar to saying something like “there’s no cocaine there” being a good selling point for living in some country.

Your laptop’s wifi is the sacrifice we make to the gods. Once we get enough sacrifices, the gods will intervene and force hardware makers to offer better support for anything non-windows. Think of the future where your laptop’s grandchildren will finally be free from all the shackles.

[unless your problem happens to be a bug on Linux itself, but that is usually not the case].

I did cave in and use Linux myself, but at least I don’t eat beans.

Beansbros on Lemmy is what keeps me away. Can’t go one damn day without hearing about beans beans beans, its like a cult

I’m surprised how Microsoft just took all of Google’s deliberate sabotages without any fuss.

Though in the end what really put the nail on the coffin was Pokémon Go.

They are gatekeeping which apps you can install, not the installation method.

I doubt most people care that much. I do, but I don’t know anyone else who does.

But even if I were to lose this, I would not even consider switching to apple (but I would consider switching to something more open).

And a lighter.
