I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.

2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.

Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.

    ROFL windows is the easiest thing ever to install. Same with steam.

    Sounds like either you’re terrible with computers or you have some serious hardware issues.

    Blaming it solely on windows is a joke.

        Yes, multiple times. It usually go this way:

        • the installer starts
        • I click on next a few times
        • it asks the key
        • next
        • next
        • nextnextnextnext
        • the desktop shows up about 20-30 mins later

        It’s literally a nightmare.
