Windows gamers on suicide watch
Oh boy, I can't wait for this! It will go great with my Ouya, while I have my N-Gage for portable gaming!
>Its the year of Linux guys, I s-swear!
maybe in another decade linux will finally have a quarter of the games library windows does

I'm an avid PC gamer and Im excited about all this cross platform development going on. It takes a very narrow mind to get upset about this at all.
Linux is the tragic hero in the greek drama which is the gaming & technology industries.
The world would be a better place if Linux won, but unfortunately it just isn't going to happen. Instead, Micro$oft's corrupting influence is so strong that Win10 overtook Win7 to be the most popular platform among Steam users.
What a shitty fucking existence.

Did they already dropped the steamos shit?

This, exclusives are all but dead in the water. It's also a sign of the times that consoles are these awful cross-media boxes instead of only being about the games, but we started shifting on that last gen.
More people buying games everywhere is better for the industry since it means more people playing/paying, and more people that are likely to continue using the system. Keep letting console users pay yearly for internet, don't really care for their loss.

I can't post enough (you)s without getting banned.
>>333172057
There's still competition that comes in the form of a service. We'll likely still get console smaller exclusives but the money isn't there for it to be a worth the ROI. Companies have crunched the numbers and this new prospective business model seems to benefit more people so they're giving it a shot. In personal experience, consoles have become commonplace enough that most who buy them are doing it for social reasons more so than to play a few exclusive games.
fedora best distro
>Ubuntu is our favourite version of Linux
Mint long since surpassed it as the ideal entry-level distro.
>>333171872
Steamos is more of a media os, when they were listing desktop os's

Get the fuck out.
>>333172607
Not my point.
My point is that their system is based of debian, but they are not recommending it.
>>333172705
Because they think Ubuntu is the best de version of Linux. Also, Ubuntu is based on debian
>>333172571

>>333173097
you could just google linux mint news and read about it, but from what i remember:
>lone bulgarian hacker uses a livejournal plugin exploit to gain admin access on linuxmint website
>changes the urls for the download and torrents of the 64 bit cinnamon iso of mint so that users download his modified version
>basically literally every linux distro maintainers worst nightmare
>compromised iso is literally a botnet, hundreds of people download and install it
and that's why my laptop now runs ubuntu
>>333173095
I remember he was a debian user...
I'm wrong, then
>>333169746
Cool, tired of how pushy MS is even if nothing is likely to come of this
>>333171872
Ubuntu and many other distros were made from Debian.
>>333173308
It has a billion distros because people have the power to pick and choose the components that make up their system, and distribute these systems for others to use.
Windows on the other hand is controlled solely by A singular corporate entity with an interest in locking out its users.
Reminds mne when all of /v/ an d /g/'s hardcore pro gamers tried to install ubuntu to get the tux item for TF2. Needlessly to say these pros failed horribly at something that is borderline idiot proof shows how retarded gamers are.
Reminder Ubuntu is part of Windows 10
>>333169746
If Ubuntu was mainstream then /v would shit on it and worship Unix
Prove me wrong
>>333173642
Stick to consoles, retard.
Clearly computers are too hard for you to understand.

Steam hardware survey.
Here's the thing though: Valve just needs the doors to be opened, to hae a credible fallback option IF Microsoft goes full retard.
But unless MS does go full retard, the multi-platform shit is a losing investment for Valve, which will probably keep it to the minimal needed for it to be a raised middle finger to MS's face.
>>333173994
a dumbass, obviously.
I like Knoppix and DSL distros, personally.
Is there any distro that you can post about without people responding

So, no link.
And a survey that is optional.
Great source, faggot.
>>333174218
Then I'm sorry that your taste is shit. It's okay, we all like something that's shit at some point in out lives, then we learn to know better. You'll get there, I believe that.

It also takes a very absent mind to realize that you preach this on 4chan of all places, not without reason called one of the worst places on the internet.

>>333172057
there is no competition if it is only about exclusives, if every game was available on everything there would be actual competition to make the best platform between the manufacturers, the only conflict these companies should engage in.
Yet they fight their war by proxies, by buying, enslaving and ruining indepenent developers, holding their games hostage to their own platform that has no reason to be actually better than their competitors.
>>333169746
Wasn't BASH just implemented into windows 10?
Why within the next 5 years should I be using a linux distro over windows?
>>333174370
Linux's really market share is more like 5%, which is pretty good when you think about it. most people don't have steam installed.
I'm rather a smaller tech literate username for my OS any day.
>>333174430
>to realize
...to NOT realize...
>>333171064
It's not a bad thing, it's just practically irrelevant because of this: >>333170856
I hope all this windows 10 exclusive bullshit makes developers more open to developing games with linux in mind
>>333174770
Its only that big because they prefer to use it for servers since its not as heavy on memory, if MS ever manages to get their head out of their ass and do something about that, Linux will lose even that niche
>>333174770
lmao
loonix has less than 2% user share
You laugh now, but in your lifetime you will be using Wine the same way you use DOSbox now.
>>333174950
Windows also lacks the fine grain control over userspaces that linux has.
Is systemd still shit? I was thinking about dualbooting with Debian on my desktop.
>>333174218
Maybe if this was still 2011.
>>333174734
Does anybody have an answer for this or are you just spewing out what little knowledge you have of these things mixed with memes?
>>333169746
[current year] the year of linux gaming!
>>333175047
Why would I use WINE to play old MS-DOS games?
>>333175096
Sure but do you think that the 99% of the PC users will care about that? If they cared Linux and its variants would have a bigger market share. Hell at a store I worked years ago we installed ubuntu on each compute because it was free but we started bundling together Windows because everyone who went to buy them wanted windows
>>333175159

More on this topic, if you'd like to actually learn something today rather than act like complete fucking retards all day.
>>333175047
Oh yeah I really want that stuttering sound that only Wine manages to give for current games
>>333172057
You're arguing about competition between consoles and platforms, which is as far away from gaming as you can get. Games are the important thing, and competition between games comes with the territory.
So basically your priorities are fucked and / or you're working for one of these companies.
>>333175395
>Sure but do you think that the 99% of the PC users will care about that?
99% of pc users don't even know what windows is beyond the thing that makes facebook work. For the average pleb you really could condense windows down to a web browser and network stack.
>>333175404
Kernels unite.
>>333175585
Precisely, so how can you ever think that the public will ever go to linux?
My windows install crapped its pants while performing an update and I can't be bothered to fix it so I've been running nothing but ubuntu for about 4 months now. So far I am happy with it.

Exactly the same way windows did it - by having it pre-installed
>>333175374
He's saying eventually Windows will go the way of DOS and you'll be playing Windows games on Linux through Wine, retard
>>333169746
>Ubuntu is our favorite version of Linux.
DROPPED
>>333175001
>that's what MS shills actually believe
>>333175731
The public already uses Linux, though. It's on everything.
>>333176086
Iad it pre-installed and people just came to use to pay us to install windows and that is when they themselves didnn't jsut install it
>>333175585
No they don't you fuck in shut in retard.
>>333176016
Just nitpicking over here, it will be pseudo-VM running alongside the already partially VM'd "windows 10" that enduser sees.
>>333176189
It's just that public is full of fucktards and they don't even know they are using Linux basically everywhere that is not desktop.
Eventually Linux is going to be THE operating system that everybody uses.
It's just really funny how Microsoft is shooting themselves in the foot with how they're really speeding along the NEED for a Windows alternative. Had they just made Windows 8 and 10 exactly like Windows 7, people wouldn't be wanting to switch.
Someone please post the open source car.
>>333176330
Windows will eventually die as MS missed the mobile computing trend by a mile.
>>333176310
I still view it as a huge step forward towards a blurring of the lines.
>>333176094
Learn reading comprehension, retard.
>>333176559
I think you need to learn it, RETARD
>>333176682
Maybe you should stop being a retard and stop projecting like the little faggot you are.
>>333176483

How much longer until new games won't work on Windows 7?
>>333177134
A shitload of old games that worked on W7 don't even launch in Winbot10, so soon I guess.
>>333177134
That's already underway
>>333177134
Any new MS published games are almost guaranteed to be W10 Store only and that has its own barrel of monkeys like problems with drivers and games running as these weird application objects with fullscreen issues.

It's a new feature for Windows 10
Being able to run Linux inside of Windows 10
