There’s a lot of blog posts and news articles being written right now centred around Microsoft’s plans for updates to Windows 11, and potential kernel changes, with some thinking this means big things for Linux gaming.

Sorry to say, but I’m here to bring a more realistic take and to help keep all your feet on the ground.

quite relevant to yesterday’s discussion.

    Whether free will exists or not would add a whole new layer to this discussion that you could easily add to almost any discussion as a wildcard. If we assume that using Windows vs Linux is predetermined as opposed to being a choice, this whole comment tree doesn’t make any sense. So let’s not go there.

    In my opinion, if quitting playing a couple of games really is life changing to you, you have deeper problems. If your so-called friends can’t understand why you quit a game over something that’s more important (to you), then find different people who do. That’s almost as stupid as American kids excluding other kids for not using iMessage/iPhone. Doesn’t mean your friends have to stop playing these games, but you can share other moments with them. Other games, conversations, other activities altogether.

      That layer shows it doesn’t make sense to start on your original layer, so let’s stop that common line of though too? I can’t talk to everyone so this card is currently a single target, negation and destruction :)

      I mostly agreed on the other paragraph. Just that friends can not understand but still be supportive, and sad you’re not there for games (which are more important than the public would agree).
