  • I never said that wasn’t true. I said men, but I’ll extend that here to include the racial descriptor white, don’t have it as good as others think they do. Unless you mean rich white men but then “white” and “men” aren’t the qualities doing the heavy lifting. Your last sentence is getting closer to what I said.

    I’m pretty confident there’s been a lot of men saying pretty much what you just did for a long time. Something to the effect of “you’re welcome to have what I have but you’re not going to enjoy it”. The system doesn’t care if you have a penis or not. Some participants in it certainly do but the system itself is equally shitty to anyone not born with shit loads of money.







  • We’re close to “use Linux, it just works” but the closer it gets the more glaring the remaining issues become.

    Yeah I totally feel that. For basic PC stuff like web browsing it’s already there and that’s part of what makes gaming so annoying. You can tell that everything else is designed with flexibility and the user experience in mind so when a game just refuses to boot it feels more disappointing. I want it to be ready for everyone to use and it just isn’t.



  • I disagree that those things happen on Windows, at least with any comparable frequency. I can count on one hand the number of games that have caused me serious problems on Windows over 20 years. By comparison I can count on one hand the number of games that have worked without any issues on Linux.

    Granted, I haven’t tried nearly as many games on Linux but that does illustrate the point pretty well, which is that most people aren’t going to fuss with settings for hours just to get a game to launch. They’re going to get frustrated and say “this doesn’t work” then switch back to Windows. I really want gaming on Linux to be a viable replacement but I honestly don’t think I would recommend it to any of my less technically inclined friends. It would just be an annoyance to them.
