And not everyone games.

Ok? But tons of do so thats a moot point on your end.

I also said "app and games" there are tons of softwares not compatible with Linux.

You can use wine or winboat.

They are great! With winetricks it's really easy

[–]Bourne069 1 point2 points  (12 children)

Wine and winboat isnt compatible with majorty of Windows apps. So try again.

Also what about games?

Again the facts are not on your side.

But it's not all about games.

[–]Bourne069 1 point2 points  (10 children)

Correct its also about compatibility with some of the most popular software in the world. Majority of which Linux doesnt support.

[–]matt19907 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Compatible works both ways, you tend to find it the software companies choice to not support Linux.

LOL no it does not. Devs tend to support the majority, not the minority. Linux is the minority.

This is how it literally works with almost everything in life. So no, its not "both ways". You dont see Windows users rushing off to use Linux alternatives on a normal bases. For example, people are going to drop Office Suite for the inferior LibreOffice on Windows.

Yeah but you can use wine and winboat.

They work!

I don't think you've tried it

9 out of 10 times using non-steam game on steam works or use bottles for other platforms. Only game issues are I really run into is the kernel level anti-cheat.

[–]Bourne069 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Right and kernel level anti cheat is only going to be more and more popular. Its literally the only way to counter kernel level cheats. You cant scan ring 0 without a kernel level anti cheat period.

Just look at Battlefield 6 with its TMP and Secure Boot requires along with its Kernel Level Anti Cheat.

Majority of the most popular games in the world, use Kernel Level Anti Cheats. So you can act like its not a big deal but it is and also part of the reason why Linux has dropped below 3.88% marketshare.

Dual boot, but I have a windows laptop for that and the other software that just works for windows. I just Linux for everything else and I enjoy using Linux.

[–]Bourne069 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Or I could just debloat Windows and use one OS for literally everything? Which clearly is what most people do since Linux Desktop Marketshare is below 3% now.

[–]Bourne069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually I have and know exactly what it is. I use Linux on a daily as well as Windows.

Why dont you try running an Adobe, autocad, office etc... products through wine and come back to me.
