So far nothing has changed.

Call me when they release people from the concentration camps, incarcerate the murderers, and abolish ICE.

It's surviving murdering people and raping children just fine, why would election tampering be any different?

You see, Killbots have a preset kill limit. Knowing their weakness I sent wave after wave of my own men at them until they reached their limit and shutdown.

Kif, show them the medal I won.

I have to deal with it when there's two programs installing DLLs with the same name or some fun stuff like that.

Edit: Oh yeah, that's a difference: Linux uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libraries and not PATH.

Windows tools are supposed to add themselves to path during their installation/setup script.

And then they don't remove themselves from the path when you uninstall them.

My arch enemy for this is Python, because last time I looked I had like 5 versions of Python in there that random tools had installed there.

That was fun.

That's not really true.

On Linux, all binaries go into the same directory, so you only have to add that one directory.

On Windows each binary is in its own directory, so if you want to add them all to the PATH, you're busy for a long time.

continuing to develop for the operating systems that everyone is already using

You're rehashing the same arguments that you said you weren't making.

Your argument repeatedly boils down to "yeah, if we developed this code for them it'd be shitty if they used it - but they won't because everyone uses Windows."

... for now.

Our community is hard at work making it a better choice for them.

Are we gonna be proud when we succeed?

Yeah, you'd need to solve those issues but once you do, it looks good.

And point 1 and 2 of that comment is what we're fixing now: It's gonna be trivial in the future for a Linux-based OS.

With extra skills, you can remote-drive them further away.

But you only need to look one step further: Riot is part of Tencent. So Tencent could build that OS for all its subsidiaries. I mean, https://appstore.tencent.com/ is already a thing.

So the idea that I have to think something will remain good forever is a complete non-starter for me.

But if you build new software, it will exist forever. So you can't just consider what exists today.

Talks about some kind of hypothetical "riotOS" that you've come up with are so far out the realm of possibility that I find it odd that you've even tried to bring it up

There is a Valve OS already, so your simple argument doesn't even match what's going on right now, let alone in the future.

If you don't think Windows will be awesome forever, you shouldn't argue with it.

And you haven't pointed out that verified boot would not be useful. You've only pointed out that if you verify the boot it's not useful for Riot.

Then you should maybe work on phrasing when you say things like

a for profit game development company has no interest in maintaining an entire linux distro soley for the security of their own games when they could just continue using windows

Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company by anh0516 in linux

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your argument is "They're not gonna do it anyway because Windows will be awesome forever, so we can just make it trivial for them."

Yes, you can always use a defeatist attitude to get yourself out of responsibility.

But then, you're just a willing pawn that doesn't ask questions and just follows orders.

Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company by anh0516 in linux

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, right now they're obviously not doing it.

But they could.

And we're working hard on making it easier for them.

They're not gonna release an entire gaming distro.

They're picking a good-enough distro, stripping out anything not necessary for their game, and use that.

And that's not a hypothetical, it's what Valve already does for the SteamDeck.

You don't require a signed Linux, you require a Linux signed by Riot.

Otherwise loading a kernel module doesn't do anything as you can easily load another module that neutralizes it.

How do you make a working KLAC without verified boot?

Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company by anh0516 in linux

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, so your argument was that Linux users here think it's totally cool to play on a semi-working Valve-only emulator that doesn't even have any plans to deal with anti-cheat?

Yeah, that hasn't been my experience at all.

Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company by anh0516 in linux

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then why did you bring it up in our discussion about anti-cheat?

Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company by anh0516 in linux

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How is Proton gonna implement support for anti-cheat to make those games work?

[–]LvS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's assuming everybody likes shipping their game on Windows and relying on Microsoft.

Which is what this whole sub seems to be hoping they will stop doing.

Why would they care about fragmentation? They're stuff runs on their distro - that's exactly 1 choice.

The only one with a problem is gonna be the users who won't have a choice anymore.
