It got so bad with Windows changing host IDs with Win 10 that our main brand released a Linux client.
Well at least that is amazing.
I think behind the secenes most people realize that Window's days are number and working on beimg more platform agnostic.
Yes, even Microsoft.
LoL
They've been open sourcing all their stuff.
No seriously.
They're moving away from Windows and more into Sharepoint, Exchange, Office, Azure, etc.
ya I know about the Ubuntu bash in Win 10
Yeah, Linux subsystem.
It's decent but still shit.
Windows isn't TERRIBLE... honestly. It can be made to work very well.
I think most game manufacturers are working on going Vulkan / Linux behind the scenes but it takes probably 3 or 4 years to switch gears like that
Luckily I think that they have been working on it for at least a year or two
Web app -> Nothing Windows; Embedded -> Nothing Windows but corporate email/wiki/random shit -> Amazing; Gaming -> Only platform haha
so I think in two years or so you'll see a lot more games run on Linux on release day or soon after
What type of games do you mostly play?
I used to play Eve online a lot. Lately I was doing more Ark Survival Evolved but took the summer off of gaming
When the weather is nice and the kids are out of school I prefer to do outside stuff
But I'm in Chicago and the kids are going back so I'll be looking for something soon
That's a solid plan. I follow the same. I'm kind of bored of games. I played 3 hours of battlefield 5 since it's free currently but it didn't keep my attention.
I was playing Rust for a bit
I can't play FPS games really
Oh Rust/Ark seem fun but they also seem really depressing because all that work is wiped every 2 weeks.
Or is that Rust only?
that's only rust
Yeah... Cyberpunk 2077 looks good for the story.
but in Ark if you don't log in for a week your shit starts despawning
and you have to feed your animals or they die
Oh, see that's gross.
Yeah that is like an MMO.
I can't do that.
I like MMOs . I used to play WoW
WoW supposedly plays fine on Linux
They seem fun... but that is the problem. I feel I would get addicted.
but that game pissed me off several expansions ago
I know hhh plays wow.
Yeah?
I'm 47
I started gaming on PCs with Total Annihilation
Oh that is awesome!
