@rperezrosario Windows for gaming; Linux for all else. I tend to homelab and programming a lot when I don't game.

@mctwist Have you tried Proton for gaming on Linux?
Show threadMcTwist
@cameron_bosch Yes, it works quite alright. It's kernel-level DRM that forces me to use Windows.

We're looking at you, Rockstar GTA Online... 😡

@qole @mctwist The funny thing is that one uses Battle-Eye, which can work under Linux and Proton, but of course Rockstar disabled it and gaslit fans into thinking otherwise.

I've heard different versions; some people say that the Linux version is the same as the Windows version, and some people say that the Linux BattlEye is different, and it's not sufficiently kernel-level for Rockstar.

@qole @mctwist The funny thing is that I've never heard of cheaters in GTA Online. I'll bet Microsoft said something like they did to Hitachi with BeOS.

And they never refunded users of GTA Online who were affected, which, well, isn't that illegal!?

@qole @mctwist It's not even a game that people cheat in like Fortnite and such. It's just an out of touch decision that reeks of Microsoft hush money.

@mctwist @cameron_bosch Among the few decisions I've agreed with Microsoft on recently is apparently they're planning to remove a lot of the stuff needed for most implementations of kernel-level DRM to exist.

@jeremy_list @cameron_bosch Completely agree. M$ sometimes realize their mistakes.
