Pirating a game still supports the release by becoming a common topic.

If you want to protest, ignore the developer and their every game. Otherwise you still use their product and help with marketing.

Lol.

Lmao, even.

Whoever believes a single word that company says?

Like why are we as a society normalizing lying about everything? “Marketing”, “Public relations”, even “Politics”. All of which are ultimately pointless, as we don’t need to keep buying shit, think better of corporations, and argue about same three questions over and over again.

Which is to say, fuck Microsoft. And everything they do. Yes, EVERYTHING. Including the open-source stuff. We need to break down big companies into much smaller ones.

I have a Matrix server with Jitsi installed, works for gaming and everything else.

Also, some older games (like Warcraft 3) require L2 connections to play multiplayer, which I managed to get working with OpenVPN, for both Linux and Windows players.

I thought the first would be Doom :(

Install scripts for what exactly?

Majority of software is packaged natively.

You are amazing!

I don’t need any games, but I should do a giveaway too.

I have not used PowerShell that much, because I’m so used to bash that it felt foreign.

There are other shells you can try, more modern, perhaps they will be more to your liking.

After learning too much about Linux it’s impossible for me to use Windows.

It hurts me at every step, making me question my life and everyones sanity who handles that stuff.

It’s very very bad and nobody will pry Gentoo from my hands.

Imagine growing up with a Windows home server… ugh

systemd anyone?

Compared to Steam? Not even close.

Compared to EGS? Infinitely times more.

Zero is a bit harsh, I bought some games with Linux launchers on GoG.

It’s usually the llvm that takes forever, then Firefox, then LibreOffice.

You can actually pull binary packages in Gentoo, if you are into that, and update like any other system.

I have an 8 core CPU, but I have to admit I don’t use any DE.

Updates can take several hours if I don’t upgrade for a while, but PC is usable during them (you can set number of build threads).

Manual intervention is what I’ve said needed way more in Fedora, which left me without any video after updates, or Ubuntu which broke integrations or replaced my software.

Gentoo just… is.

There are sometimes updates that would require intervention if you do something special, nothing too difficult though, and you get a link to Wiki with working solutions.

I need to donate more money to that project.

I have struggled with Fedora for couple of years (graphics drivers after major updates), then Ubuntu got me down a couple of times (snaps and other malice).

Zero issues with Gentoo after the initial setup. You build it, update it, and IT WORKS. Also you can easily remove parts of software you’re building with USE flags. -telemetry, -x11, and you never care about it anymore.

Gentoo is an easy OS, and works like a charm.

Gentoo is the best, if you have a beefy CPU with enough RAM, it’s not even that slow. (Yes still slower, though dnf may be on par).

But it’s just the best thing for having control over your hardware and software.

USE flags are divine, I can’t imagine a life without them anymore.

I suggest Gentoo.

Great documentation, systemd optional.

Wow, do I have some stories for you.

But in short, there’s a lot of FOSS software that people use every day without knowing about it.

And it gets no funding, because why it should.

Companies making 9+ figures have issues sending even a $1000 to an open project that they depend heavily on.

But Microsoft/Oracle/VMWare/Google licenses? That money just shoots out like from a cannon.

Even if those products are not 100% needed and can be replaced.
