Yup. I agree. I was just checking to see if that was the case.

I was certainly hoping it was, but I wanted to see what other people's experiences have been.

Thanks for the conversation.

See, that's what I was thinking. I'll have to do more research, but I would think all the overhead from Windows being Windows, would kind of diminish the gap between running it natively on Windows, and using proton or something so you can run it on Linux.

The overhead on both should be fairly similar, though with how Windows is, it wouldn't surprise me if it was slower.

Okay, real talk.

I know there's probably 100 videos on this, but I don't have time to watch any of them right now...

How much performance is lost/gained from using Linux to play games via proton?

I'm certain any game with a native Linux version will work great, I'm mostly concerned with the ones that need some kind of emulation layer.

Neat.

Thank you for your unsolicited opinion.

Idk, I've never tried to run 30 year old games on modern systems.

I'm just not that nostalgic.

And? How does this indicate the daily active player counts for the games supported and not supported?

I'm not going to throw doubt on the 90% number. Statistics are made up and generally don't mean anything. "90% of games" .... In what context? Games on steam? Games ever made? I don't think I'm going to be playing sierra titles from the 90s.... What about Flash based games that used to run in a browser? Do they count?

I don't know and it doesn't matter.

The only thing I want to say is that the "10%" that don't work are usually pretty popular.

I'd like to see this metric based on average player counts. What percentage of gamers, playing games right now, could play on Linux.

IMO, that would give a much more relevant indication of how viable it is for most gamers to switch to Linux.

I'm still using Windows 10 and no, I didn't buy their extended bullshit. I don't even run the latest version of Windows 10. I also have an update server setup so I don't usually get updates often because I need to go approve them. But I also work in IT and I've seen every social engineering attack type that's been used since the 90s and I know when to not click on something. I haven't needed an anti virus on my personal system in 20 years.

To say I'm not worried about it is an understatement.

I would say it's trans adjacent.

The kid is, was, and always has been a boy, in every sense of the word. Both as their "biological" gender and their actual gender.

Some doctor fucked up and put "female" on the birth certificate. It was noted, corrected and now the birth certificate has been amended.

The USA part of all of this is that bureaucratic bullshit is prohibiting the school from recognising the fact that a mistake happened and allow the poor kid to participate like everyone else. He's stuck in limbo because some dickhead on a power trip who has a hard on for making life difficult for people who are different from them, made a short sighted decision to put such a policy in place, without comprehending that doctors are people who can make mistakes, exactly like the one in the OP. It's the bullshit bureaucracy that's very USA. It's the inflexible rules that are very USA.

The rules were made to punish trans people for daring to try to like who they are, instead of being miserable in the cast they were born into, and it bit them in the ass, inadvertently punishing one of "their own".

So yeah, trans rights, or lack thereof is the reason behind the problem, but the problem is affecting someone who is distinctly not trans.

I know there's doubt as to the validity of the claims. I only want to say this: when "AI" takes jobs, who is there to plug things in to make the "AI" machine go?

Sounds like Amazon fucked around and found out.... Allegedly.

Reminds me of a black mirror episode.

What a USA thing to do. Holy shit.
