2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

    Yes yes, a legacy downloader that doesnt effect you, is such an egregious and evil thing and totally deserving of this crazy, borderline mental illness reaction you’ve sustained.

      And upgrading windows affects you how? It’s a free upgrade isn’t it?

      Doesn’t windows 8 have legacy compatibility modes? Why aren’t you upset with Microsoft for not having proper compatibility modes still?

      Why is Valve the target of your anger when Microsoft is the one deprecating the OS and not providing the compatibility they advertise?

        And now we’re to the point where you keep repeating the same arguments and demanding the same answers, in an attempt to make the other person walk away so you claim a pathetic “win” and strut around like a high street cock.

        I’ve been on the internet a long time, friend. Your tactics are not clever, or new.

          I haven’t asked why you wouldn’t upgrade before, nor about the broken compatibility features included with Windows.

          Direct your anger at the company causing your issues (Microsoft), not the one that hurt you because you couldn’t figure out hardware acceleration with remote play.

            Yes, I’m clearly the one full of anger here.

              It shows in your dozen posts refusing to take any of the many available paths forward.

              Roblox runs on the latest windows, you’ll be fine.

                Of course, The many forked paths of “valve should have a legacy downloader”.

                How silly am I to miss all of them.

                It truly is the consumers fault, afterall. /s

                  What about

                  • Microsoft should have legacy compatibility mode that works
                  • use Proton
                  • use WINE
                  • use community mods or registry tweaks to run on newer windows versions
                  • read what you’re leasing

                    and now we’re circling back to already asked and answered shit

                    are you okay?

                    If you are this forgetful may I suggest discussing it with your doctor, and possibly scheduling a brain scan?
