Windows. I get it, Windows sucks. I’ve been saying that since Vista. Fucking leave it already. “Oooh, I can’t. I play Frexus Dilectin 2: Rogue of the Latrine, and that has kernel level anticheat.” Well, sucks to suck. Quit bitchin and feel bad about your life decisions in the corner, quietly.
I use software for work that only runs on Windows. No software, no work. Nothing to do with games.
Does it work on Proton?
Do you work on software with graphics? Otherwise, you could probably virtualize or use a separate computer for work software. It's just good practice to separate work from life anyways.
Most of the time we do not get to dictate the hardware, software and protocols of what's used at work.
People bitching about Windows already use Linux...
That isn’t true in my experience.
Always used Linux at home but have to use windows at work. It's so terrible...
Full time Linux at home for gaming, home lab and services, supports enterprise Windows at work. The year of the linux desktop is almost upon us (really just waiting for the gabe-cube and the OS along with it), yes that how it be some times.
While true, it doesn't stop them from attempting to derail posts when Windows is talked about. They always have to come in and be smug about how they're using Linux. Like, we get it, you feel all superior and mighty to have all of the time in the world to deal with a single Linux distro. But, some of us still using Windows have our reasons too and we're not going around browbeating people into using Windows at a given chance, unless it is out of mockery.
I do not, literally for the reason that guy just said. I like to play Gelatinous Fentaculus 4: Shart of the Lactoids, amongst others, which do use that anticheat nonsense.
Sounds like a shitty game. Games that use kernel anticheat make me nauseous.
