the Xbox client uses the MS store to download games, this is common knowledge that you clearly don't understand

If you go through the Xbox app it downloads through that one. You can chose to play it through the Microsoft store or the App.
The Xbox app does update itself through Microsoft store but that's about it.

i never said it was the MS Store with the ads, and i SPECIFICLLY SPECIFIED that i was talking about downloading off the internet there only. also. Googles "Ads" show up at the TOP of the page for search results and look JUST like a regular link. so its not "dumb people" its GOOGLE being a piece of ass. and putting their customers at risk by accepting that money

You brought it up when we where talking about Microsoft store.
So again, why bring it up in the first place?
You'd get the same search results on Linux and you could download the same maleware on Linux if you did that.
We're talking about Windows here and specifically the Microsoft store.

Steam deck Runs Proton. which makes 99.8-9% of the tested library playable on linux. as rated by the community, who not only runs on deck, but also PCs of every kind. the argument for games not running is NOT as valid as you think it is. and the linux challenge you are talking about is already 2 years old. a lot has changed over time. so use actual up to date information or be ignored completely. or hell. made fun of. which you already have. you can listen to your biased crap or you can listen to facts. (Spoiler alert. the facts speak for themselves, you're wrong about software support)

steam deck does not need to be OPTIMISED for games to run. you are again making up ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ to justify shilling windows. STOP IT.

https://www.pcgamesn.com/steam-deck/10000-compatible-games

Steam has about 89 000 games so that is about 11% done.
Would you look at that.

The Linux Challenge from LTT is still valuable information. They did it before and they had issues then and they had issues later. Luke in that challenge has used Linux before and quite a bit too. But even he uninstalled it the moment the challenge was over and jumped to Win11. He even kept the start menu in the middle and didn't look back.

My time is worth more than having to trouble shoot stuff weekly.

lastly. you have not provided an informed, solid opinion on ANY form of linux at all, you have a hard MS bias period. you NEED to educate yourself, so i'd suggest you check your library with ProtonDB, BOOT UP a copy of LMDE with the XFCE Desktop and actually try Linux, THEN form your opinion. it is disgusting you are approaching the topic of gaming on linux with poorly outdated information and are set in your uneducated way. please do better next time

I actually have done that already. Also there is no need for me to test it out. As I can only get issues if I do so. Besides I have a paid copy of Windows. Not gonna throw that away.
Not gonna dual boot either.

Win Cultists at least have the mojo to promote that poo relentlessly. Like, don't be a Debbie Downer about Tux, Kal. Ain't cool. The Penguin is sexy and has great versatility to the point IF it came pre-installed, especially with a super-afforable RedHat-like support subscription option, esp. with like a free First Year, folx'd go with it and maintain it.

Plus AI is making Linux a breeze to self-service. So let's let the Penguin shine

The Penguin is sexy, but the developers of Linux can't get together & come to a consensus on a gaming distribution. Most of my games are no longer from Steam, most 3D games will not function in Linux. I would love to just install Linux Mint Cinnamon and forget all my troubles, but I am moody when it comes to which game I play. If the OS is not 100% compatible, means I cannot play a game or in this case 75% of my games, at all times. Unrealistic ! and the Seals pretending to be Penguin pushers are just trolls in disguise.

i only run linux and i want to argue with you

your tone and attitude, and the name calling in between, are just not helping

of course people are biased

ms has been the go to for decades

it is as much my fault as anyone else, but it was just that much easier to use

with so many companies still using it, it is still easier for moist

linux has come leaps and bounds from where it was

but it is still a learning curve

it is till a lot of distro's to choose from,

each with their own repository of programs

there are mistakes that can be made that you would not make on windows

i would love for everyone to try linux

but in the long run,

it may be easier for some to just upgrade like they have since win 95

There is hardly a learning curve for the majority, the majority who ONLY EVER NEED A WEB BROWSER. thats what ChromeOS is, linux for those who only ever need a web browser

For only Webbrowser is no needed for new OS... also ChromeOS sucks because google.

I love Windows 7 too. I do. The world is for reasons and less great reasons moving on. You can White Knight (had to!) for it. I respect that even. Legacy support will matter more as time goes on. Valve is going where the games are *right now.*

I remember when "Only runs on Windows '95" became a thing. Was I mad? Hell yeah I was mad. But I did eventually upgrade and 95 did run most my old DOS games. Like crap in some cases. So I feel you on this.

I'm kinda done doing that though. Because I know games going back to the ones first made for computers in the '70s will all run on legacy OSes. Steam will have to allow us the basic flexibility to reach our games. Just not directly necessarily, since they rely on architectures outside Valve's control. What they do give us is a compatible platform that offers sufficient access for most: SteamOS and Linux support for the rest. That's pretty generous actually. No OS has ever been compatible with 100% of games. XP came close. Never will though.

The newest retail OSs, top-end PCs, and complete surrender of your privacy will probably always be required to play online & competitive games. That's just how it's going to be. Not everybody is going to be good with it but not everybody has to.

For me MS stopped being the gamer OS of choice when they retired Space Cadet 3D Pinball. It's just time to let Microsoft be Microsoft. Time to accept that.

Ps I have a Steam game *right now* that my best rig will ONLY run on Linux. Crashes in WinX. Honestly 10 for me reminds me of 95 for levels of stability. Not quite Cyrix processor AND 95 levels of BSODiness but it's up there. AMD is no Cyrix. Well, kinda a long story there. So yeah I'm good with this.

I’ve gotten plenty of 3D games working just fine, lol. Windows is still the path of least resistance of course and will be for quite some time, but more runs on Linux than you’d think.

AMD have been making pretty good mince out of intel recently too. then Nvidia becomes the apple of the GPU market and runs their ♥♥♥♥ like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mafia. (literally makes them even worse than apple if it were not for the fact Apple makes the MOST anti consumer choices in the world)

Nvidia is not Sh** as Apple and better and its much cheaper/better than Apple (And Apple has its DRM software so no worth to support that anti cosnumer company)!

Intel is not Sh** as AMD aswell and way better than AMD!

You're wrong. :)

windows 11 updated itself today. Only reason i could even tell is that my headphones started playing static instead of proper sounds. All the settings reset again. Like banging your head against a wall. Things you need to find hidden beneath layers of menus..its like its been made deliberately to troll people who dont want it.

You should fight to stay on 7. Microsoft is just awful.

Shows lack of care of Microsoft to integrate previous settings you had to newer version.
And yeah I absolutely hate how they hide buncf of setting and user cuztomization beneath layers of menus. I almost sure it is deliberate. They don't want people have control of their devices

It extend to OS versions as well. Don't ask question, just consume the product

Erm.

Actually, most linux distros out there handle dependencies automatically. When you download a package, the dependencies are downloaded too.

Unless you purposely handicap yourself with a distro maintained by absolute monkeys, that's not an issue.

Shilling isn't accurate here, buying windows and preferring/suggesting that OS over one they aren't familiar with isn't shilling. Its preference based off personal experience. For example, I suggest windows to people over Linux because its user friendly to the point I could get my grandmother to set it up with minimal help. (rest her soul)

Edit: I was incorrect about shilling requiring being paid, while that is a large part in some definitions it can also be done for more shady reasons such as promoting a shady/failing business you have vested interest in. Still not accurate though for what I've seen in these discussions.

inb4 you realise linux is far easier to install, it also has less nagging and less account ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

Proton: one click in the settings, runs all windows games that don't require anticheat
Windows: runs game but opens you to immense performance hits and a general terrible desktop experience
