if you use linux, you must pretty deep in certain online communities to know about it or even care about the advantages it proveides, even more to actually set it up and use it (these things may seem easy to us but again, think your classmate or coworkers), same for TF2, it's a game that often only people who are more into certain communities really play. A lot of places in the world are extremely hostile torwards transgender people, and often find refuge in, online communities, which again, may be pretty deep into the internet
so then we have a clear overlap between that, if you're trans, and in an online community because of it, you're most likely to have heard about linux before, so the overlap just forms naturally

The vocal minority (that includes me) of people talking about Linux online is smaller compared to everybody who just uses it and shuts up. Some genuinely prefer Linux for their tasks at work.Patatitta wrote:

Kali linux is made for a very specific purpose, which is pentesting and cyber security. For a regular desktop you would use every day Kali is NOT a good option. You can see on the internet countless noobs having issues with Kali and even on the official Kali website if you're a beginner you should pick something else like Ubuntu
Linux is light, it supports git and serve multiple purposes.
Some ATM’s use Linux, server farms run Linux, cameras run Linux, tv’s run linux and even McDonalds totens.

It's only shitting on you if you are personally ashamed of playing tf2 (its a game, why would you be), I didn't really say anything else just yet.
I disagree with you saying that using Linux require to be in very specific community and spend too much time on it to even use it. You don't have to be deep in a commuinity to know the advantage of not having ads on your system, not having telemetry and having your sysyem not bloated to a point your PC lag (for a personnal case, I was running LMMS + Firefox + Discord on my laptop with 16 GB of RAM and got lag).Patatitta wrote:

Also Linux is getting more and more user friendly these last year, you have distros like Ubuntu and Mint which are new easy to use even for a newcommer. Of course you have to learn some things, like how you learnt to use windows at first, but those distros doesn't require to spend 4 hours on a terminal to make it work.
Again, this is a concept of perspective, for us, that we're DEEP onto the internet, we don't see linux as something that niche, but for your classmate in high school that just play football 24/7, it is, and we, as nerds that know computer stuff, are a minority. While the advantages of linux are going to be there regardless of what you do, if you notice closely, I said most people may not CARE about the advantages. Some people are just used to lag and doesn't really do anything to change it, some people doesn't really care about bloat or even use the things you consider bloat, and while "it's getting easier for a newcomer", it's still steps behind windows, even more when you start considering app compability and learning how to use the alternatives to the software you cant use and etcCorne2Plum3 wrote:

I 100% agree with Patatitta. Most people don't care and I don't think trying to convert such people is a good use of time. This ease of use helps the newcomer interested in trying out Linux and long term users. Over time, you just don't care about ricing and using the most based shit ever.

The way I view it:
If someone is not programmer and said someone, for some reason, uses Linux: there's a good chance it's just for showing off how different they are. It's like that guy with those weird attachments on his console, or the guy showing everyone his jailbroken iPhone.
That's my take. Heck even for programming, I think a lot of people still use Windows.

Believe it or not, yes. I agree. To some degree, I kinda regret being so vocal about it because it isn't interesting for most at all. I find it cool, but is it the best OS out there? No. There are issues with it, much like how Windows and MacOS has issues.Ymir wrote:

A lot of people still use Windows and MacOS because most people in programming software that targets Windows, first off, and because they, themselves, aren't much interested in the OS itself, second off, alongside the obvious reasons that people don't just do one thing on their computers. I do think that Linux is a very good solution for programmers, but not all of them are willing to jump over just for that, and that's fine.

Take a note of every app you use on your computer and check to see if it works on Linux. You will have three possible outcomes for your programs:BluePyTheDeer_ wrote:

- It does work, natively
- It can run under Wine or there is an alternative available
- It doesn't run at all and you can't do anything about it
After this hurdle, you want to choose a distro. There are many options, but don't complicate yourself. Ubuntu (and any of its flavors) work, but the Linux community at large don't really agree with its direction and I don't really agree with it either. You can try it out, if you so choose. If I were you, though, I would go with Linux Mint. It is Ubuntu on steroids, basically, taking every possible measurement to be as complete, tightly integrated and easy to use as Ubuntu originally was.
There is also EndeavourOS, which is based on the infamous Arch Linux. It is easier to install and easier to use than Arch, in my opinion, and its community is really nice and helpful, but jump into this one if you want a bit of a challenge in terms of learning. Ultimately, choose whatever looks the most interesting to you. There are a lot of distros out there as a newbie, you wouldn't know at first what you want, but overtime, you will slowly gravitate towards your preferences.
Whatever distro you end up choosing, remember one thing: this isn't Windows, nor MacOS. It will take a bit to learn Linux's quirks and it will feel a bit discouraging at times. You can make it work as your primary OS, but it will take some time.
I found in a Reddit post that you can run Geometry Dash on Linux (IDK if it was selecting one of the options in the Steam client but ok), and luckily, I don't use Adobe, so I don't have any problems, but I think a few of my apps don't work there, like Microsoft 365 apps, but you can always use the website, although It is a lot more limited, but an app I use (Govee Desktop) doesn't have a Linux neither a macOS version, which means I might have to sacrifice the app.Winnyace wrote:

Adobe software is also hit or miss, but somehow, MattKC (yeah, that guy from YouTube) found a way to run Adobe Premiere 2024 under Wine. I'm sure that it can be extended to Photoshop, Illustrator and other Adobe products too if someone spent some time figuring things out. osu! runs really well on Linux. There's a script that lets you install stable with just one simple command.

I found in a Reddit post that you can run Geometry Dash on Linux (IDK if it was selecting one of the options in the Steam client but ok), and luckily, I don't use Adobe, so I don't have any problems, but I think a few of my apps don't work there, like Microsoft 365 apps, but you can always use the website, although It is a lot more limited, but an app I use (Govee Desktop) doesn't have a Linux neither a macOS version, which means I might have to sacrifice the app.

Windows file system is not the same as the Linux file system, so accessing the exact place where the save file is is a lot harder than on Windows.Patatitta wrote:

If you don't have the game on Steam, navigate to the exact same path for Windows but under your Wineprefix.

Then, here we go. To get to the Steam folder, just go to Steam, right click Geometry Dash, highlight Manage and click Browse local files. From there, you should hopefully find your way through.BluePyTheDeer_ wrote:

I did it, relaunched the game, nothing.
Edit: I think I know the reason: The save file had the password in it prior to 2.2, so you could log in with the save file, but on 2.2, the password was removed from the save file, making it impossible to access the account with the save file.

So true, found out I can customize the color of ANYTHING.

True. If you want to play League of Legends or Valorant or other kernel level anti-cheat games on Linux, you can't do that. We can't change that, sadly.Patatitta wrote:

Yeah, it seems I was out-of-date. They want/already added a kernel level anti-cheat to it.
I'm planning on installing linux on a virtual machine sometime within 1 - 999 weeks

unfortunately due to the cheating vector, the parts were reenabled and now you can't roblox
That sucks for the people who want to play the game. I'm not of them, personally, though, but I can see why they wouldn't be happy about it.z0z wrote:

you can certainly wreck things by exploits though
non-competition example
having random chaos is part of the fun when playing these type of multiplayer games, + as far as I know, roblox hacking isn't a particullary big problem that I have heard?, it absolutely doesn't need a kernel level anticheat
I am not in the position to comment on them adding a kernel level anti-cheat. I don't play the game and I quite honestly don't care about the game.
it's not but it's still a problem, at least to robloxPatatitta wrote:

i also cherry-picked specific uses here where the goal is entertainment and not self-gain
it's still disrupting the original functioning of these games regardless of how good or bad they may be with outside unintended behavior
is kernel anti-cheat like ghensin impact ccp virus kind of thing
