UI snappiness on Windows just blows everything else out of the water. It is so much better there is no competition. Linux and MacOS just feel slower.

@sun imo windows is the best OS that is only dragged down by microsoft's insistence on adding stupid shit to it. but when you know how to disable the stupid shit i don't think there is a reason to not use it besides personal preference.

@beardalaxy @sun the thing with windows is games and shit just work, there aren't 4000 API attempts competing, and the people behind it aren't using the internet as a warzone.

That and if you use Linux you either inevitably run into it, or you complain why shit doesn't work not knowing why.

@PurpCat @sun if you want games to "just work" you can't even rely on consoles anymore. not fully. they do work better on windows (typically speaking) but you'll very often have to do some weird shit or have some weird shit happen and you'll have to figure out a solution.

but i do get what you're saying.

@beardalaxy @sun try Linux gaming and it's like talking to Mac users about file formats

"Okay to run Call of Duty Burger Town Warfare 3 you need to run Wine with the blahaj patchset and set the big system morsels variable to 6 and use this renderer patch and it might crash" now try telling this to a normie who crashes out at the idea of editing an ini file or using a specific launcher with "this is fucking retarded why do I have to do all this shit"...yep
@PurpCat @beardalaxy there are two kinds of mac users. the ones like he describes, and the ones that try to use FOSS unixy stuff and are perpetually angry
@sun

I put ports on mine and it gave me the unixy things I cared about. I have minor complaints but when I want unixy stuff I can SSH into a variety of things that run it better

@PurpCat @beardalaxy
@PurpCat @beardalaxy @sun Nah these days it's more like "You just right click and enable proton bro, then it just works" :gigachad:
@dcc @Tadano @beardalaxy @sun yeah but on the deck it becomes a pain to do for example
@PurpCat @beardalaxy @sun
If it gatekeeps retards from making my os even shitter than redditors trying to force rust into everything. Normies begone!
@PurpCat @beardalaxy @sun

secure boot enjoyer, mono enjoyer, left wing politics enjoyer, threatened to pull support for intel power management drivers as a result of intel pulling ads from an anti-gg journalism site years ago, crashes out on social media quite a bit.
@PurpCat @beardalaxy @sun All I needed to see was his face to know I hate him. Doesnt make the adrenochrome suckers from macroshaft any better tho.
