Explain this to me

Why the FUCK do people use Linux when it can't even play games? It is the year 2016 people explain to me how this even fucking works.

While I won't defend that is the clusterfuck that is loonix whether an OS can play children's videos games has nothing to do with if it's useful or not.

1) Linux has loads of games, you really should check out Steam some time

2) Unlike you, apparently, I mostly use my computer for non-gaming related tasks. I think would be a more appropriate board for you, if you're not trolling.

I'm moving on to professional use for a PC, and hopefully keep a partition for Windows for gaming. That's just me.

Because children grow up.

I'm not that great with technology, but how the fuck does Linux not play games? Shouldn't that be an easy thing to do?

I'm a 28 year old grinding hard in a 9-5 construction job who doesn't play vydias that much and I still fucking hate loonix with all my hearth. Most unusable set of desktop OSs to ever exist on earth. Debiant, Mint, Ubuntu, Arch, you name it, they all fucking blow.

Honest to God what is wrong with Windows 10? It's super slick and works perfectly for me. Why the haters?

Too hard?

To be honest, I had hard times with Ubuntu on my PC. When I installed it on my old x60t and my sisters laptop it ran fine for some reason.

Some drivers were gone and gedit files missing to the point I left PC alone for some months.

Windows vydias require proprietary libraries like the ones in DX11 which loonix is too stubborn to fucking adopt so you have to jump through thousands of hoops just to maybe get a working windows game in loonix.

It's literally a spyware OS that sends everything you do to microsoft and it has been able to get around software to stop it's spyware activities. It's also a laggy clusterfuck of a OS that has an assload of compatibility issues with a ton of hardware and software. Just stick with Windows 7/8.1 like everyone else.

More like fucking unusable.

So, you're trolling? Or are you just so brainwashed you actually think any of that is true.

Linux is not for computer illiterate construction workers though. If you had a decent IQ you would get a better job anyway, low wage peasant

Why are you even on Sup Forums ?

>don't have a Sup Forums related job
>don't have any Sup Forums related hobbies
>don't have any Sup Forums related interests

Linux can play free and open source GNU / games

>Why the FUCK do people use Linux when it can't even play games?
There's plenty of emulators! Games are kind of gay, though.

This is Sup Forums, not Sup Forums. A lot of people here don't need to play games that often. Besides, a lot of games run in Linux aswell.

>spyware
>Microsoft

Well, it's better my shit in Microsoft's hands instead of those whom actually want to do harm with my shit I guess.

>nothing to hide, why worry at this point

I like hurting people's feelings without having to face the consequences like every else in this thread.

Anyway at least I have a job you filthy neets, jesus christ wake up and smell the burning coffee already. This shit can't last forever, get a fucking job you lazy pieces of shit.

Reminder that GNU/Linux has more games available on Steam that run natively than the number of existing PS4 and Xbox one games combined.

That's not even counting a shitload of games that are not on Steam, and everything that runs with WINE

Why are you on Sup Forums? What do you do besides browsing and watching porn? Maybe you should get a tablet and leave this place.

I pay more tax than you earn per year, computer illiterate peasant

This. HAIL HITLER!

>neets
Sup Forums isn't 100% neet, go bother /r9k/ if you have a problem with them.

I have a job too and I probably pay more in tax than you earn.

...

I just stated the reason. You delicate neets are easy to trigger and troll and that makes me very happy. I feed on misery of others.

Sure thing samefagging Jacob.

>which loonix is too stubborn to fucking adopt
No wonder you shitpost. You know nothing about technology and programming so you have nothing else to say.
Linux can't adopt DirectX because, well, it's not up to Linux. DirectX is proprietary, so no one has its source code to port it to Linux, and Microsoft isn't doing it for obvious reasons.

Can you stop now? You can always just make threads asking questions and I'm glad to answer you. It's better than this kind of posting.

>1) Linux has loads of games, you really should check out Steam some time
Steam is botnet

I'd like to preface this comment by saying I am not a Microsoft shill. I've consistently used Windows for personal computing my whole life (mainly because it's what my family uses), however I hardly think Microsoft is flawless; personally I think everything since XP has been going in an increasingly wrong direction. I have yet to use Windows 10 myself, but it is my understanding that a lot of the privacy concerns are SOMEWHAT exaggerated, mainly due to horror stories about the "Technical Preview" (which is nothing more than a beta test version specifically created to gather usage data, and which should never have been used for anything involving private and personal data). Microsoft definitely is moving in the direction of greater tracking of users and such, but a lot of that data is anonymized, and the worst of it (like the infamous keylogger) is not found in release editions of Windows 10.

My dream is to be an embedded systems engineer, all the job openings I see ask for familiarity in GCC/Linux so I'm trying to be a command line master.

It's not really common for people to earn more than a construction worker.

Every time you do a google search or do practically anything on your computer you are giving information to X company. It literally is not worth the effort to avoid it unless you have schizophrenia or a tinfoil hat.

>nothing to hide
So, do you email your mother weekly reports of your browsing history?

Thank you panjeet, 0.1 rupeas have been deposited into your microshaft positivity account.

Like there's anyone here who doesn't know you're trolling. We're just telling you to gtfo you dumb piece of shit.

>Every time you do a google search or do practically anything on your computer you are giving information to X company.
>On your computer
Explain

You seem... upset.

Linux isn't for everyone, especially the causal user of PC's.

Though, Mark Shuttleworth did try to make a flavor of Linux (Ubuntu) easy enough for the mainstream to use, though, the commercial PC hardware and software industry pretty much wants nothing to do with supporting Linux, so Ubuntu is basically just a niche-based community of Linux users.

If you're a PC enthusiast and amateur to expert coder, you'll love linux since it an OS that's free and open to anything you want to it. If you're a casual to moderate PC user, you most likely don't want to be bothered with customizing an OS to your standards and just want to enjoy something right out of the box with the least amount of hassle, which you have Windows o Mac.

Thanks for posting the horse. I won't have boner for the rest of my day

>Why isn't Linux, Windows?

They clearly said that they are not a Microsoft shill :^)

I would love to switch to Linux, but I admit, I am not a perfect human being, I play games every once in a while.

But ya, the operating system only appeals to nerds and most people do not have the time and energy to make the switch.

i would bet most of the games you play would still be playable if you switched

>i'm just trolling

So, yeah, too hard for you. Got it.

Retard is confusing browser with pc.

You just played into his hands like wet putty.

Why the FUCK do people even play games?

Yeah, I guess so. Ironically these kind of posters who can't distinguish Desktop and Online privacy are all retarded

You only give away the data you feed your browser with. However Windows collects local data of your desktop and your server

DELET THIS

To temporarily fill the gaping void inside.

fun

epic troll thread

You can play Doom on linux just fine.

What other games do you even need?

I don't get this manchild obsession of gaymen. If you are 25 and you still have to play ebin call of battlefield and swear over the microphone like angry teenagers you are pathetic

Fuck off mactard.

Can I get that picture of
>Why do iToddlers try so hard

Honestly we just like the VR porn

That's pretty short sighted of you, don't you think? Not everyone has shit taste in games nor is everyone so immature.

Well you could've said that instead earlier

Kek, that sounds insidious now you say it. I go as far as drawing lewds, but that's it.

I just got here senpai.

>games

>How can you disagree with my point of view? Do you not realize that we are living in the current times?

>literally everybody in this thread falling for the lazy b8
Sup Forums is dead. Long live video game "geeks" and 14 year olds who are mad at Apple because their mom didn't buy them an Iphone.
