    Why I don’t switch to Linux as my main. The video games and mod managers don’t work well on it.

    If given the ability and choice too I would use Linux 10000% but not even proton can work on everything that is only for Windows.

    I literally have no choice tbh as I “acquire” games I can’t afford and it’s often to hard to figure out how to install them on Linux.

    I hate windows with a passion but capatilism and monopolies force me to use it.

      The meme, which wasn’t well-written, is suggesting that the cost savings of switching to Linux isn’t significant to most people. It’s saying

      Most people

      • don’t care enough
      • have enough money

      rather than

      Most people don’t

      • care enough
      • have enough money

    oh you think so?
    i’ll tell you, the saying:

    echo $(date -d “$(date +%Y) + 1 year” +%Y) will be the year of the linux desktop

    has never been wrong

      I think the mangled English there is suggesting that some people don’t care enough, and other people have enough money (to buy Windows).

      Not that it matters because who the fuck pays for Windows anyway? OEMs do, but not normal people. Everything since like Windows 7 has been a free upgrade, and normies get a new PC more often than that so get a copy with it.
