I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

    I have installed many Linux distributions. What is your point?

    If you’re trying to convince me that windows is more complicated to install then it’s pretty clear you’ve never installed windows.

    At this point in the game neither Linux or windows requires more then a few mouse clicks to install their OS.

    If you’re having trouble with either then you’re doing something very very wrong or using wrong/bad hardware.
