PC Gamers Abandoning Windows 11 for Linux with Higher FPS & Fewer Interruptions
-
I saw in a recent Youtube video that between web services and AI, Windows licencing is only about 10% of Microslop’s business.
IDK if that number is true, but it sure would explain how much they’ve put into user experience. Does anyone use Windows because they like it?
i like windows 7

And which got removed from GNOME. Plus one point for not using it
Linux-bad-because-my-windows-ways-do-not-work is still laughable

Did this last May & haven’t missed much. I don’t play AAA slop though.

So “the year of the Linux desktop” is just around the corner? Again?
… and all it took was to wait for windows to become unbearably shitty?
Linux will never become popular till it’s as easy to use as something like VLC. Download, install, and it runs everything. Until this happens, Linux will never take over no matter how unbearably shitty Windows becomes.

I know this is bait but literally just web browsing on a windows desktop 2 days ago made it bluescreen. W10 even, so can’t even blame the shitshow that is W11.
I guess it goes for your argument though of stuff that can be fixed with a reboot…
I mean it fixed the problem automatically, didn’t it? /s

Which distro did you end up going with? Wanted to change my tower over from Windows. Guessing bazzite is appropriate?

88 comments and nobody has noted that the article itself looks like AI slop?
Lots of signals here: the writing style, bland and wishy-washy use of statistics, bullets and formatting that arbitrarily organize without adding value, the rule-of-threes clauses, and redundant details, the intro summary list, the lack of sourcing links, and “written” by an author whose bio specifically mentions AI.
I specifically looked for backup to the assertion about higher FPS and it’s just a random unsourced percentage. Maybe it’s true but this article has no value as a source.
God damn slop fuckin everywhere. Tnx man.

I get what you are saying and maybe I’ll find some time to do that, but I hope you also see the irony in an answer like that, because the typical user couldn’t care less about Gnome vs KDE.
The typical user couldn’t care less about Windows VS Linux, but it makes it difference. I don’t know that it fixes the issues, but it might. It’s also an option you have because you’re on Linux, not Windows. You get a choice, and can figure out what works for you. It isn’t ironic, because that why you choose Linux. If you don’t want a choice and just want the garbage MS puts out, you don’t need to make any more choices. If you want options then you need to actually make choices too (though most aren’t permanent, like DEs, and you can swap between them).

I switched to Linux full time almost two years ago when Win 10 started saying my CPU wasn’t supported. My CPU is in the i7 family and I think they all got that treatment. Since then I’ve had no major issues with Linux Mint. As for gaming, I do get some frame drops with my Nvidia 3060, but I was getting the same on Windows.

Arch was described as hard mode but I installed EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma about a month and a half ago and it’s been smooth sailing. Given all the programs I use have native linux clients and I don’t play kernel level anti-cheat games at all.

Yeah. Sure it did.

Lol just recently Microslop broke the shutdown function.
I click start, I click shutdown, it shuts down. So unless you are talking about some obscure shit that no one really uses, that’s a lie.

People like you make the world a living hell
Yes. I make the world a living hell for avoiding toxicity.
-
Then you made a good choice sticking with Windows.
Yeah. Sort of my point. The vast majority of users will never encounter problems severe enough to cause switching to a backwards OS

I’m thinking about going dual boot mode soon, as Manjaro is a godsend so far on my ThinkPad.

For what it’s worth, the “i7” branding isn’t a family, but a tier representation.
So basically it goes like:
i3 = basic
i5 = midrange
i7 = high end
i9 = top end
The first i7s released way back in 2010, so some older i7 chips are not supported by Windows 11 while newer ones (2018 and onwards) are.
But yeah, use Linux

Oh I completely disagree. There are severe enough issues for users to switch to Linux, they’re just not severe enough for you.

I’d love to roll back to Linux but my GPU and the drivers don’t get along very well.

Not OP. Around same timeline. Went with bazzite for gaming. Have been using bazzite daily since. Stuff just works super easy to install. Also tried and have mint still installed on another partition but haven’t used it much besides the initial installation. And installed dual boot bazzite and mint on my old gaming laptop. Use mint on there daily for internet browsing and such, no gaming. But I’m certain it would work just fine as it’s all pretty much the same besides Debian (mint) Vs Fedora (bazzite).
I don’t play AAA slop either, and a few older easy anti cheat games don’t work. Such as Fawkes revival of Defiance.
Everything else works pre installed with Steam+ proton, Or Ludis + wine, Or the Heroic launcher for GoG, Amazon and EGS.
I do get higher FPS and better temps and less hardware usage than I ever did on Win11 for the same exact games.

Did they ever fix the RCE exploit in WW2?
What’s that?
