Linux is the way and the light friend. You might need to confess your sins against kernel, heretic. There may yet be time to save you. Repent sinner.
I do. Problem?
Nothing wrong with gaming on Linux if the games you like support it.

/g/ is just bitter because they have to slave away being code monkeys and don't have time to play video games anymore. They see gamers come on /g/, get salty, and start spewing bullshit about how worthless video games are and how anyone who plays them is a child. Half the fucking computer tech we discuss here is only meaningful to gamers.
NO TUX, NO BUX
You can't play games with just a kernel.
Im pretty sure you need an operating system.
>>55180189
So what? I'll play games on whatever I can get to run them.

I play three games: cs:go, civ5 and FTL. All work beautifully on linux. I've been using linux for the past 11 years, why should I switch?
I haven't used linux since I bought my first Mac - you guys have no idea how bad the support was in ye old days.
>Not enjoying libre /vr/ classics like quake
About a third of my steam library is Linux games. I play what I want on whatever OS I feel like using. Why do you care?

>we
The people, like me, who are pissed that children from /v/ are shitting up our board are not the ones participating in the endless, meaningless threads full of faggots masturbating about AMD or Nvidia, competing to be the best possible consumer. Those threads are a hostile occupation by /v/. Fuck off with your "we"; none of us want them here.

>>55181226
Reading books, watching anime/TV/movies, playing games, going out for drinks with people, having sex, it's all the same shit. You're just killing time until you die. Just let people enjoy themselves how they want while they can. How do you even define "productive" when it's something totally objective? I spent the entire day doing nothing but browsing this shithole and organizing the crap that has built up in my downloads folder over the past several months, and I considered it a pretty productive day.

How do I get linux up and running, and what distro do I use?
I tried to put it on a flash drive once and it didn't work so I just gave up and never got back around to it.
>>55183659
Well for beginners I would try Trisquel, for more advanced users, Debian, for power users, Parabola. If your hardware doesnt work for that then install Xubuntu
>>55183659
Use this to load the .iso file of the OS you want onto your USB drive:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Download an OS, I suggest Fedora to start since it'll be applicable to RHEL if you plan to move into more interesting stuff in the future. Debian also is good to try to start. Complete beginner? Try Ubuntu or Mint (Mint is like Ubuntu or Debian, just has some slight twists that make it starter friendly)
If you want some fun go BSD

The majority of the computer industry has nothing to do with gaming. Faggot.
>>55180189
yeah, why not? also my operative system practically has not restrictions, provides a lot of transparency and gives me access to a lot of useful programs ootb. Also it's pretty customizable.

Not really, I get 3-4 days off depending on the week. Between Windows 10 and degraded story lines I'm not interested anymore.

Use plain 'ol Ubuntu if you want things to work, then advance through there. But if Windows works for you, go on and use it. Windows keeps guys like me in business
