Wow thank you for the incredibly balanced argument. I really want to switch to Linux for all the obvious reasons, but it’s the same cliche reason why I don’t - I’m too much of a bitch-dude to make such a big change to something I use and operate on the daily without certainty. But as i’ve said, the moment say Valve come out with a SteamOS for desktop which is basically Windows through and through minus the bloatware and corruption (that isn’t to say Valve isn’t corrupt but they’re not making weapons for Israel) is the day I switch with no qualms. Like many I’m far too used to the interface and compatability of Windows still.

I just wanna stop feeling bad when Muta yells at me.

It’s like that feeling on the diving board before you jump in the pool without knowing how warm or cold the water is. I’m still afraid of getting wet, if you know what I mean.

It’s much easier on Windows. When it’s just as is easy if not easier to do on Linux is the day I switch without hesitation. I’m far too setup and comfortable with Windows, I’m a pleb I know but it is what it is.

If you want those mindless online shooter games who slobber all over that absolutely useless anticheat software, then stay on windows honestly.

But i’m currently on Windows and I don’t play those games. What I want is an alternative that I don’t have to jump through hoops and follow a recipe just to boot up games, and have access to modding tools that most if not all are only built for Windows.

Holy shit that’s a lot just to be able to play a game. Is there any hope of Linux becoming more user friendly and streamlined?

There isn’t just mindless online slobber shooters on Windows, y’know. Those same shooters exist on Linux too.

Modded Cyberpunk is kinda my thing right now, would that be a problem on Linux?

I can’t remember specifics but I remember a bunch of games i’ve modded don’t have tools supported on Linux.

Must’ve been hard for you in the 90’s with Xena Warrior Princess being a DEI gay female superhero.

How does Linux fair with gaming, game dev, and modding? I don’t wanna get on Linux and have to jump through hoops just to get Vortex working for Nexusmods or something.

And what are we gonna do about it?

He has gotten away with it, and will get away with it. What, you think investors will choose principals over money?

The purpose of doing a Nazi salute so publicly, in the context of “saving civilization,” does the purpose of a dog whistle but with the subtlety of an air horn. It’s to send out acknowledgment to Nazis, a gesture of solidarity, that he’s on their side and wants their support/approval. You would think this would be sabotaging the system if Naziism was in fact against their ideals and was bad optics. Nowadays the only excuse they need to be a Nazi is to “trigger the libs” so you’d be safe to say that nothing will come of this, people will shake their heads and wag their fingers but will still do business with him because money. So he’s cashing in, he knows probably better than anyone that the Nazis have, in fact, successfully taken over the American government. Well done, Americans.

Give that line to a holocaust survivor and see what they say.

By my metrics the majority of people are fascists, and it’s a terrifying world to live in. When I think about that £36 trillion I’m reminded of those old legends about things like a “Well of Souls” and ugly beasts hoarding and guarding food from the villages. It’s almost like these types of people have cautionary tales about them for a reason, and that we’ve been here before. Humans have always had one common monster - inhumans. Money is the religious monarchy of our day, we wonder how people could believe in witches yet people think food, science, and trade comes from money. “How can the world work without God Money?” is the dogma of our times.

Or when you don’t realize that it already is directly affecting you because “They pay me well enough to keep me in a comfy box, I don’t have time to do anything or read or risk losing my job” while the ones they love are picked off one by one. Then when they come out the other side they go “How did all this happen? It was equally the fault of the radicals on both sides.” Thus the unenlightened centrist cycle will continue.

Anyone who knows anything about the Native Americans, the Indigenous Critique, and their ideas of freedom’s profound influence on the European Enlightenment, should boil with hatred at what European Americans did to them.

I call the people who hold accounts in the £36 TRILLION in offshore tax havens and all those who are okay with it “fascists.”
