As a long time Linux user; do you know how bad you have to fuck up your operating system to make people WANT to use Linux?

Regular people in my life keep asking me for advice and... I mean, cool. But, like, what the fuck is Microsoft doing over there?
@rgegriff How could they have known that using your own hardware to build a little digital model of you in order to control your thoughts and actions was the line?

@hipsterelectron @davidgerard @rgegriff Non-engineering staff at my clients have started asking me if they can move their gaming rigs to Linux
Not all of this timeline is dark, just most of it

@ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff i still fear this cos nvidia support is still shaky, which is 100% nvidia's fault. AMD is solid and makes happy users. sigh

@davidgerard @ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff the best part about buying an AMD card was knowing i wasn't funding that annoying prick jensen huang

@davidgerard @ludicity @rgegriff nvidia is very effective at making drivers which break at build time or runtime and especially make it essentially impossible to track kernel master. nouveau was supposed to be an answer for this but curiously does not support displayport output on my machine. ubuntu previously had tested support for nvidia drivers and suddenly stopped doing that for unknown reasons

@ludicity @hipsterelectron @rgegriff @davidgerard in my experience, AMD cards work... eventually. if your card is more than three years old it's gonna be solid. luckily, nobody can afford cards newer than that anyway.

@rgegriff My guess is that MS decided that users needed them more than they needed users, so the users would suck it up. So this was the year (with Trump elected, and the oligarchs firmly in charge) to mandate all this stupid shit, like no more local accounts, and you rent your software.

@rgegriff No. I've *wanted* to use Linux since I started using it, which was back around 1994.
What makes you think you have to do something bad to drive people to want to use Linux?
