Pro with English UK language pack, never had any of the shit people complain about.

Some people just love to find reasons to get offended.

Hell, a way to carry a baby was called cultural appropriation by some black people where I live when first Nations have been carrying their baby the same way on our territory since way before any black people set foot in northern America but we don’t hear them complain.

Funny how I don’t have any of these things on Windows either.

Then you have a launcher launching a launcher to launch a game, when that happens on Windows people are pissed, when that happens on Linux people act like there’s nothing wrong with that experience.

Funny how Steam having to launch EA app to start a game = people complaining about Steam launching a launcher, but Lutris launching EA app to launch a game =/= a launcher launching a launcher for some reason…

Then Linux shouldn’t be suggested as a replacement for Windows for gamers.

The total number of billionaires keeps increasing, so does the number of people with hundreds of millions, that happens at the same time as the middle class is disappearing with most people becoming poorer.

Needing another launcher to launch a launcher isn’t seamless and sometimes it works like crap and requires a reboot to get things working.

Bazzite then Mint, GPU issues with the first one, wifi issues with the second one.

I grew playing with a computer on the first Pentium generation, the only reason I tried to get Linux to work is one game that runs better on it because of shaders issues, when I’m done playing it I’ll probably delete my Linux partition.

Mint, Bazzite, Pop… Options exist, users don’t care. If you don’t get the professional world off Windows, you’re not getting the personal world off Windows because people don’t want to figure out two OS when they have a hard time figuring out one.

Linux Mint: Exists

Windows: Still king

Point: Made

That’s the problem, IF your games are on Steam.

Lucky you, not my experience at all, even ended up repurchasing a game on Steam while it was on sale because at some point, time is money and I had spent a whole lot of money trying to make it work.

That number is increasing

I think you underestimate what it is to have so much money that you don’t have to care about how it’s spent. A billionaire could spend a million a day for three years and still be left with millions because of the interest they make.

Just for those not wealthy enough to not care

Possibly, I’m not super knowledgeable on the technical side, it’s just ideas I’ve had since joining Lemmy and seeing the flaws with it.

Would you have asked “Why not a mother at Walmart?” if your version had been used?

Interesting

I was thinking a bit like regular websites. Let’s say for Reddit, the hosting might be spread over a hundred servers owned by AWS with redundancy in case one crashed, but it could be a hundred servers owned by a hundred person instead (decentralize the back-end). You need an API to let people develop a front-end allowing users to interact with those servers, but the same credentials could be used on any of those front-ends and users wouldn’t have an account associated with a specific server (just like you don’t choose what server you’re signing up on when joining Reddit).

So yeah, decentralized dumb back-end, decentralized smart front-end, making the experience as user friendly as any centralized website and still removing admins from the equation.
