You can install Steam on Linux. In fact I have 2 PCs in my house for my sons. They run Windows games flawlessly. See for compatibility in the ProtonDB.

See the thing is, when you use Windows you don't need a compatability list.

Linux gaming is pretty good these days. Basically the only major games you can't play are the ones running super intrusive anticheats.

[–] Fluid@aussie.zone 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Maybe relevant 10 years ago, but not anymore. Hell, most games run better with Proton now, no background telemetry crap.

bro why is kali in the "you have no life" section ?? Everyone knows ethical hackers get all the girls

[–] BaumGeist@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please, please, PLEASE do not use Kali as a daily driver... The maintainers and the organization and every hacking role-model and educator on the internet says to not use it as a daily driver. You want Debian Testing if you're that worried about having debian-like features but getting a rolling release

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I have run into people who use kali as a daily driver. They mentioned it trying to seem cool but it made me think wow this guys an idiot.

I went to school in cybersecurity (ended up being a run of the mill web dev) and the people who ran Kali knew the least. I blame Mr Robot

Windows isn't afraid of tech, but MacOS is? Give me a break, the Unix style terminal is the reason for using MacOS professionally.

[–] words_number@programming.dev 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly, most windows users I know at least know where their files are stored and stuff like that. Average Mac users don't know if something is synced with the cloud or not and can't unpack a rar archive without calling support because they are deliberately kept dumb by that restrictive, overly oppinionated, lock-in OS and unrepairable, un-upgradable hardware ecosystem. I'm using linux as daily driver on laptop and desktop for almost a decade now and I hate windows with a passion, but mac manages to be even worse. Although windows is also getting worse with every version since win7, so they might be on par soon...

Depends on the person. Most of the people I know who use MacOS, use it as a glorified Facebook machine. Outside of perhaps Word, they only use the web browser.

To quote a designer friend of mine 'Apple is the king of average'. :-P Most people I see using apple don't even understand how shitty the UI is if your workflow is keyboard driven (snap windows w/o 3rd party programs for example.)

There's a Lemmy instance where you don't have to say that.

I use Windows because i need to use certain Software

[–] jackpot@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (8 children)

such as? just use WINE

[–] MasterCelebrator@feddit.de 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My main Problem is with my music production Software and Hardware, which cant be easily installed with wine. Other than that i have affinity suit which works with wine, but not without Problems. Lastly i use davinci resolve, which claims to Support linux natively but barely works.

[–] socsa@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bro just write your own ALSA drivers, it's not needlessly arcane or complex at all.

[–] toastedenough@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Things that straight up ban the use of wine exist, y'know

[–] TheBurlapBandit 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Adobe

What an odd take.

Every dev I know must be terrified of technology as they all use apple laptops. I don’t love apple but they make a pretty sweet *nix laptop for dev work.

I don't know much about it lately, but aren't Fedora and Ubuntu considered bad nowadays? Mint imo was absolutely great every time I used it except for proprietary drivers needing extra reboots(might be different now)

[–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

AFAIK, Fedora is considered stable and is a great choice.

[–] passepartout@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

Fedora just works, it made me stop Distro hopping. I don't want to use something else, but when the day comes on that Red Hat starts making questionable choices, I'll go back to Debian.

I think Ubuntu has turned to garbage with whatever canonical is doing but I do think Linux Mint is pretty great
