Linux vs Windows (part 2) - Lemmy.World

ohhh this one hit a nerve. the butthurt windows users community is out in full force :D And there are still Stockholm syndrome victims delusional enough to think that Windows is easier to install / maintain without realizing that the only thing that has them insist is habit.
Come get me when games are as easy to play on Linux as they are on windows

Honestly, in terms of ease to play, SteamOS (or clones like Bazzite) don’t do under Windows. Heck, I’d argue they might even be easier.

The real issue is anti-cheat. But that’s just the next hurdle we’ll have to overcome.

Are We Anti-Cheat Yet?

SteamOS don’t do under Windows.

I’m really trying to figure out what you meant here.

Apologies. Allow me to clarify.

I meant that it’s not harder than Windows, when it comes to playing games. And I even made that claim stronger by proclaiming that it’s probably even easier.

Can you run league on Linux? I can’t run it on my windows anymore cause if some security thing lol
We were able to, up until Riot chose to mess it up for everyone (including us).
Another alternative for your expression might be ‘to do less’ as i steamos doesn’t do less than windows. Or ‘do worse than’. I would say even ‘steamos doesnt under-do windows in terms of gaming’ would work but it sounds more awkward. Mind if i ask what language the expression ‘do under’ is from? Its neat, i like it. English sucks in a lot of ways. Also agree with everything you said about OSes. I had tried linux in the past but mostly stuck to windows for gaming, then i got a steam deck and ill never install windows ever again.

Or ‘do worse than’.

I think I like this one as well. Basically, as you’ll see later on, the expression is (probably) best translated as ‘to be inferior’. Combined with the negation that’s brought with “don’t”, we could rephrase the sentence as ‘Honestly, in terms of ease to play, SteamOS (or clones like Bazzite) aren’t inferior to Windows.’.

‘steamos doesnt under-do windows in terms of gaming’

Another one that I like 😜. But, the double ‘do’ is indeed a bit awkward.

Mind if i ask what language the expression ‘do under’ is from?

Sure! It’s an expression found in Dutch. Heck, to be more precise, it’s a verb that can be split: ‘onderdoen’, but also ‘doen onder’. The literal translation would be, as you’d expect ‘underdo’ or ‘do under’. Here’s the (English) wiktionary entry.

Also agree with everything you said about OSes. I had tried linux in the past but mostly stuck to windows for gaming, then i got a steam deck and ill never install windows ever again.

Valve has truly outdone itself. While I only started using Linux after Proton’s release, the horror stories from the pre-Proton era still send shivers down my spine.
