I just think they're neat!
The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: "Gamers use Windows because of its' user experience not our de facto monopoly."

Edit: Yo, I'm not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew's UX sucks ass.
Year of the Linux ~~Desktop~~ Handheld
Most people just use what's in front of them. Apple takes on exorbitant costs to make sure marginalized people are the face of iphone. Microsoft takes on exorbitant costs to be the face of our soul crushing tech capitalism. What can linux represent and how can we leverage that to our advantage while taking down apple and Microsoft.
Linux represents those that are free
I’ve considered Windows a toy OS for decades because the only use case anyone can legitimately make for needing to use it is to play games.
Among consumers, sure. But they also have put decades of effort into understanding how business buy and pay for software and computers.
Ah, there's Adobe and maybe some 3D modelling software
Adobe is sadly huge for design professionals. Also fuck Adobe
I was looking at Ubuntu studio which can work with adobe filetype, but i wouldn't switch unless i had a backup machine with adobe software just in case.
Yes and also yes
Cries in professional CAD-Software-User-Noises
Honestly Onshape is great and works in browser
Fact. I only still use it because of game compatibility.
Why do steam users act like their game company and their billionaire is somehow their friend?
It's windows derangement syndrome, sadly afflicts many on the lemmyverse
Am I missing something? The meme says "Windows bad" not "Valve is our friend."
I don't need Steam to win, I want windows to lose.
Because it's a Linux distribution. They're forced to be our friends because of a brilliant legal tactic that has been working marvelously. For Steam itself we have to trust a billionaire pinky promise that he won't enshittify. But if Linux becomes a major gaming platform, it could be a major turning point for free software adoption in general.
So steam has had 20 years to enshitify, in that time they have always remained a privately held company and have made choices to ensure long term growth. I imagine at some point (like after gaben hands over control) they could go public and obtain their very own collection of worthless bloodsucking vampires, but i imagine that would be quite awhile, and hopefully by then they will have removed windows death grip from gamers throats.
I don't, its just valve demolishes apple and microsoft in the "don't be hostile to your users" category
I'm not but they have done a lot to make gaming on Linux more viable.
Happy cake day!
