i guess sooner or later wine will be able to emulate pe binaries or whatever's needed to make eac and crap like that working i just got a refund on rocket league too. since after epic's buyout they have announced that they will remove mac and linux support

windows is not usable at all anymore, and i cannot fathom that people still are just sitting there, using windows 10, accepting that the computer they're using are not theirs anymore. everyone loves xbox game bar and candy crush and having every printer manufacturer auto installing their useless spyware apps again and again, no matter how often users uninstall it. and ads. why the hell is _anyone_ in yospos is using windows at all is beyond me

the only negative experience so far with windows 10 was update bugging out, meaning it wouldn't update automatically anymore, and I had to manually download that "media creation tool" to unfuck it. but who needs update, right? heh

I would rather have ineptly maintained hobby software that more or less works OK on my work machine than an os with literal actual first party malware, hth Also bold of you to just pretend modern windows and macos doesn't also have a huge amount of buggy jank

windows and macos may be loaded up with bloat but sound and wifi both work and there are graphics drivers that aren't dogshit so that's like 3 easy points in their favor. then you get to stuff like desktop linux development being a wasteland of terrible ideas and all of the serious (lol) momentum for linux is anroid focused for now. this will probably all flip around when microsoft finally relents and adopts linux fully

for me the issue is that in x11 the vsync only synchronizes against the primary monitor or something, so you'll get tearing if you watch videos fullscreen on the second monitor wayland is the way to go i guess, here's to hoping firefox implements vaapi before the new millenia
