From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

“We were really disappointed that Linux couldn’t run malware rootkits game publishers call ‘anticheat.’ Anyway, based mostly on this, my buddy’s toxic gAmEr friends, and the fact that a couple very specific games are difficult to run, we’re gonna call it ‘not ready.’”
I remember when we would just vote-ban ppl who were cheating 😩
But now, most game companies want you to play on their servers, so they can control everything, and make sure you buy their microtransations instead of installing mods…
Just wanting to play some weird games with your friends isn’t toxic
Issues are issues, even if they don’t look like issues on your end.
You should try having basic empathy for other people.
Anticheat is like DRM, it can’t work by design if you own the machine it runs on. It’s just wastes power for nothing, why should anyone spend the effort to get it running?
Is this a Linux bug or a shortcoming of the publisher?
Unfortunately people like to cheat. Cheating ruins multiplayer games and drives people away from playing the game, no matter how fun it is. Thus the need for rat-race called anticheats.
However! We already had solution for this: Dedicated servers. If there was a cheater on the server, you could just yell on IRC that who is cheating and someone would come to ban the asshat. It worked way better than anticheats.
Lmao yes, I lack empathy for other human beings because I made fun of something. Excellent deduction.
all FOSS enthusiasts hate people and regularly rape innocent waifus, didn’t you know?
I think (hope?) you forgot an “/s”.
