  • Most games work on Linux. The ones that don’t are online games with kernel level anti-cheats, which aren’t relevant if we’re discussing piracy anyway.

    But yeah, a dedicated gaming machine with Windows is fine if that’s the way you want to go. I was just arguing against the claim that running pirated games on Linux isn’t seamless, which is wrong.


  • Huh? Linux is the gold standard for running pirated games, mainly because of flatpaks and its sandboxing capabilities. The games won’t have access to your filesystem and you can disable network access. Installing the games is as easy on Heroic as it is on Windows.



  • I would love to give GNOME an honest try, but there are so many ways in which it feels like it’s actively working against me. In KDE I can for example create as many panels as I want on as many monitors as I want. On GNOME? There’s an extension to put the panel on another monitor, but then you can’t use the dock. I guess the GNOME developers don’t use multiple monitors? I mean you can’t even set different wallpapers on different monitors without a third party application.

    As for Niri, Hyprland and all that… Yeah, they’re cool, but I’m too old nowadays. I just want shit to work, even though I do miss some of the functions that exist e.g. on Hyprland that doesn’t exist in KDE. But on the other hand, the developer of Hyprland is an asshole, so I wouldn’t really want to promote or use the project anyway.
