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
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!
so I'm old school
Yeah, so gaming kind of lost it's flavor for you, huh.
I get motion sick from FPS games
haha
Yeah
I work in tech so I spent way too much time on games growing up.
