I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

    Linux users on Lemmy: People who don’t run Linux are just bad with computers and shouldn’t be using a computer at all!

    Also Linux users on Lemmy: Anyone else is unable to install windows from scratch?

      I remember being part of these exact same conversations on other message boards at least 15 years ago.

      We’re all going around in circles here as history repeats itself.
