This is just as contrived and boring as the console wars
In my opinion not at all. Linux started as a project from a nerd and nerds around the world joined in. I know now a day's a lot of companies contribute but what they contribute is open for the nerds to use. Unlike the console wars where it's company vs company with fanboys picking sides.
Now it's now neck beards vs industry and that's way more interesting. I'm obviously picking the nerd/neck beard side cause fuck the big corp
I prefer Linux as a OS, so I'm really happy that I can play games that aren't supported by devs. And it has benefits - since Linux is a better OS by a mile some games work better on it. For example Valheim on Windows is unplayable for me since it shuts down my computer after 5 - 20 mins, while on Linux it runs without problems and has smaller FPS drops in my gigantic castle. Maybe it's a bad example since it has support for Linux, but Ravenswatch doesn't and also has better performance on Linux through Proton.
Shallow and pedantic
well, not entirely, it doesn’t cost anything to switch operating systems. if something is a console exclusive, say goodbye to $570
Even worse, cause one side isn't giving a fuck about it.
Like, which Windows user cares that Linux is getting Windows-emulated games? Literally no one. Let alone enough to cry about it.
Do you go to restaurants and complain there is food there? This is a place for linux memes.
Yeah! You're cool cuz you don't care about this stuff. And also people who do care about this stuff are less cool than you. Yeah!
This is a Wendy's, sir.
I think its more about windows itself caring but not windows users. Microsoft is probably sad that thoose games are working on linux with great performance
Wine Is Not an Emulator
