@WiteWulf @Erased_Citizen nodds in agreement

If you get way higher FPS & more stable operation out of the same system even if you deliberately kneecap it by running #Linux on a 7200rpm HDD and #Windows on a SATA-6G SSD, you know it's a systemic issue.

#Valve managed to make #Steam something people want. Nothing prevents #EpicGames, #EA & others to make good #Launchers for Linux.

  • Only #ServerSideAnticheat actually works reliable, as I know a literally undetectable #Cheating method that is Game- & OS-independent and would only fail in scenarios where the entire setup were to be inspected in person onsite.

Genau das ist falsch!

Wenn man von z.B. Adobe-Produkten "abhängig" ist, führt an Windows kein Weg vorbei.

Nein, #macOS macht das ganze einfacher und besser. Selbst nen fucking #Hackintosh ist stabiler als #Windows!

Und wenn es an Spiele mit Anti-Cheat-Software geht, geht es auch nicht ohne Windows.

Einfach nicht kaufen! Wer #Malware will muss halt damit leben. Und ja, #ClientSideAnticheat ist Malware genauso wie #DRM!

Und auch ich habe trotz meiner Affinität und Vorkenntnis nicht auf Anhieb bei Mint oder Manjaro alles sofort zum Laufen bekommen.

Was eher Herstellern wie #nvidia liegt denn Usern, und das ist eher Ausnahme denn Regel!

Wer einfach nur den PC nutzen will, dem ist das alles zu lästig.

Nein, die neisten sind einfach #TechIlliterate-#Konsumopfer die zur #Windows-#Enshittification groomed wurden!

I.d.R. ist denen das sogar absolut shiceegal was denen vorgesetzt wird, weil denen gehts um ne glorifizierte NSAbook, ShitExpress/eNay/Aperzon, YouNuke-Kiste mit eMail-Zugriff!

Ja, Linux hat enorme Fortschritte gemacht, ist aber immer noch nicht für jeden.

Ja, aber ich würde eher krepieren als die Redmonder Govware jemals anzufassen! Die hat 15 Lebensjahre von mir verschwendet!!!

Allen anderen helfe ich professionell wegzumigrieren!

@freespiritlinux69 ich kann dies eindeutig bejahen.

@malva @Daojoan I'd consider the same if #EpicGames wouldn't actively prevent me from playing due to lacing #Fortnite with #malware (aka. #ClientSideAnticheat) that won't run on #Linux even if I'd accept that as a necessary evil!

@Tom665 @razortide @SecurityWriter Gaming on #Linux just works.

Everything else just natively works to the point that I don't even have to think about it.

#ClientSideAnticheat is #malware that has no legitimate reason to exist.

#Funfact: I know how to make a #Cheat Solution that can neither be #detected nor #prevented in any convieveable way!

The reason I'm not going to share this one is because it's so trivial to make that this would basically ruin every #Multiplayer game with no recourse outside of #paranoia and #banning #Accounts....

And for clarification: The "Ultimate Cheating Solution" would be basically undetectable by design in that it'll be impossible to prevent even on #GamingConsoles!

@danluu so yeah, any company doing #ClientSideAnticheat aka. integrating #malware into their #multiplayer #games should be banned from making, publishing or even hosting any games whatsoever!

@ifixcoinops TBH, the few parts where #Linux is #shit ir #bad are nit the fault if #Linux, but greedy #Corpirations refusing to provide #drivers that work (i.e. #nvidia), refusing to support it (i.e. #Adobe & #Autodesk) and/or actively preventing people from using their #CCSS in #Wine (i.e. #EpicGames and anything that has #Spyware aka. #ClientSideAnticheat and #Malware aka. #DRM)...

@LMAOYEEN yes.

Just tell them to support #Linux and until they do without some #Malware aka. #ClientSideAnticheat - #Rootkit, you won't play again...

@nano and that's why I refuse to play or even buy any #Game that does #ClientSideAnticheat aka. demands me to install #malware like said #rootkit drivers...

@icedquinn +9001%

All 3rd Party AV Software on #Windows & #macOS is essentially #malware - even worse than #ClientSideAnticheat and often compareable to #Rootkit-based #DRM...

@AlanyG21 That's really bad, because #ClientSideAnticheat is #malware and should not exist!
