Windows 10/11/12 is like Twitter.

You'll bitch about it.
You'll moan about it.
You'll complain about the CEOs, the politics of the company, or features.
You'll complain about rate limits.
You'll complain about how it's going down the tubes and how everything will kill it.
You'll brag about that guy you got to use Linux/fedi/bsky.

But most importantly, you'll be back on it when you use the alternative.

Maybe have patience, instead of darting right to social media to whine and complain upon any stumble.

@arcanicanis Honestly given that real video games without anticheat work in Proton, I think I'm not missing much without VRC.

Either way, it is helpful that Valve managed to work things out for EAC and BattlEye to make a lot more of the 'popular normie titles' playable on Linux, even plenty of recent titles. Although I don't know if Epic's acquisition of EAC is going gradually to turn the situation to crap again.

Nonetheless, anticheat systems have grown to practically being malware for the over-invasive degree that most of them operate. There's already been vulnerabilities with an anticheat system barely years ago, and yet normies are totally fine with all of this:

@dcc the funniest thing is when Windows games have more issues running on Windows than on Linux.

I would've taken the proper precautions by installing a stripped-down version of Windows Enterprise with group policies to restrict telemetry collection ofc.

Besides, you've still got Linux on Windows through WLS2 so I could probably run NixOS beneath that without any trouble and have my cake and eat it.

I wouldn't consider myself a typical NixOS user tbh, Arch Linux is where my heart is at.

I would, but trying to get any SteamOS stuff to work on that is an exercise in futility.

SteamOS is Valve's attempt at throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. According to the Jovian Experiments developers, the design of their operating system was pretty good though I'd beg to differ personally.

@dcc I’m on debian but using flatpak steam, so you get same results by just installing flatpak.
