Why don't you game on Linux yet? Don't tell me you LIKE having ads served on "your" desktop while every click you make is reported to Microsoft for statistical analsys.

It's like being a PS3/4 owner
Because I game on BSD.
you talking about live tiles that you can turn off and remove from the start menu or just use classic shell and never ever see those?
>classic shell
What are you talking about?
Also Windows 10 still connects to ad servers even if you remove the tiles.

Wine/Proton/DXVK is a performance loss.
This is important for poorfags like me.
Where i could get 30-40 fps in windows, i get 15-25 in linux.
I don't think you get it, we have a larger native game library than any closed platform including Windows 10, and we have the whole legacy PC gaming library now that Microsoft isn't interested in it anymore.
Plus as is tradition we get the games for all the legacy closed platforms eventually.
and if you dont click them guess what, your clicks dont get sent to MS! Crisis averted!
I'm sure you can't game with just a kernel.
You're talking about GNU/Linux, which is the GNU operating system with the Linux kernel added.

>What are you talking about?
its a program that replaces the start menu doofus
Interesting how the Windows 10 antivirus also happens to block game anti-cd cracks and anti-network cracks. As if they are using it more as a DRM enforcer than anything else.
Because I'm not a tranny.
You're still wasting resources connecting to their servers and downloading their content.
>Wine/Proton/DXVK is a performance loss.
Under ideal circumstances for Windows you'll see about 5% performance loss vs Windows 10 due to 10 often having native vendor optimized D3D11 support. So worst case scenario for DXVK if you get 30-40 fps on Windows, you'll get 28.5 - 38, not the 15-25 you state.
However in the real world the gap is often closed by the much better drivers available on Linux. This is especially true for users of AMD hardware which lacks high-quality drivers on Windows.
he was talking about telemetrics. W10 is literally a keylogger, doesn't have anything to do with clicking the ads.
>linux on desktop
Been waiting 20 years for it to be viable. It's NEVER going to happen.
Imagine being this retarded.
That was epic, epic for the win! XD
Here's a quick rundown:
Windows: Easiest setup, compatible by necessity with all modern hardware, but is a mountain of shitty code built on top of more shitty code from 30 years ago, and sends all of your activities to the NSA when it isn't crashing.
Linux: Fully configurable, doesn't spy on you, but needs extremely detailed steps to get it to work with modern hardware. Expect to reinstall the OS multiple times because you broke something while updating your NVIDIA drivers. Sparse adoption means incompatible with most games.
Mac: Stable OS, but locked to underpowered hardware not intended for gaming. Apple is the only one of the tech giants whose wealth doesn't come from selling user data to advertisers, so they might not be lying about protecting privacy, if you care about that.
Nothing has made me rip more hair out than fucking Wine - it had problems running even 20 year old games. Sound or videos not playing, color distortions, random crashes are just some of the issues I've encountered. I've even had one very old game fix itself into a really small window size for some reason. And this is regardless of the convoluted WineHQ "solutions", which rarely actually work - that is, if your game is even there. Frontends to Wine just reek of desperation. PlayOnLinux keeps a different Wine version and configuration for every fucking game, talk about inefficient. And of course, only certain games are supported. I'm not even going to go into the pathetic state of graphics drivers on Linux (especially Nvidia's holy shit) or how most devs have little to no incentive to support it. If more developers coded games with Linux support, this wouldn't be such a huge problem. But for now, the massive advantage Windows has cannot be denied.
Does this mean Windows is superior? Obviously not - its issues outnumber Linux' by about ten to one. But the Linux community has too many fanboys in it, and they will often attack any suggestion that windows has any advantage.
>Linux
Look at this dude. Oh nonono
Proton doesn't work well so I play newer games in Windows.
But Wine is good at handling some older game running on XP.So case by case.
>install Windows 10 LTSB
>no ads
>not the 15-25 you state.
Yes, i tried it myself.
And i don't have AMD gpu. I have old shitty gtx 650
>Windows
>Easiest setup
Lol, no. Its only easy because it comes pre-installed and most people never bother.
Honestly Ubuntu gives you a fully functional version of the OS that boots right up so you can make sure everything works before you even start the install and you can keep using it as normal while it happens.
>compatible by necessity with all modern hardware
Doesn't even provide adequate support for all of the major GPU vendors and there's only two!
And good luck trying to get it doing anything useful on any of the ARM SBCs out there.
>Linux
>Fully configurable
This is only true of some distributions. Other single-purpose distributions like SteamOS, or Lakka come pre-configured to do one thing well.
>needs extremely detailed steps to get it to work with modern hardware
>Expect to reinstall the OS multiple times because you broke something while updating your NVIDIA drivers
Here's the truth, if you have Nvidia hardware run Windows. If you have AMD hardware run Linux.
Doing anything else these days is doing it wrong.
Well there's your problem. DXVK depends on hardware Vulkan support for performance which your card doesn't have. Unfortunately since you have an Nvidia card you also don't get access to Nine which enables full speed D3D9 game support either.
