Jasmin Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 I don't have nay experience with linux, therefore, I don't know how they perform for games. However, I believe they are not as powerful as the paid OS like Mac and Windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of stuff you can do without even opening the terminal. In regards to the comment about “lines of code”. It’s technically true, but the commands aren’t very long, and a lot of stuff is only like 2 or 3 commands. So yes, it is “lines”, but it’s a mere fraction of lines that programmers, or writers of automated scripts have to write.

I've tried to learn it and trust me, it's difficult as hell. I mean there are more user-friendly versions now but even those are way behind Microsoft or Apple in terms of usability.

Mind you, I have my own issues with Windows and I'd probably use Linux if it was more compatible with other software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A chicken and egg 🐣 situation, Microsoft Windows, is BIG, that's why people dev for/on it. and since that happens, (not much) people see an incentive to create stuff for Linux at all. Like there aren't many games that natively support the Linux system, which valve claims to be doing. rinse repeat. 🔁 Also Microsoft is a big company, of course they'd try to get things to work simply out of the box, though that's not to say they don't have their share of bugs at all. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to make a move to setting up their software to have a better easier user interface. This is where Windows come handy for folks not great with setting up their PC.

They have distros that are beginner friendly, and have been around for years. Ubuntu, Elementary, and Mint are really easy to set up and use. Do you know how to click next a bunch of times and wait? Cool, you’re now certified in how to install those distros. If you want to install software, a lot of distros work like Windows and MacOS, where you download an installer file, double click, and do the difficult task of hitting next a bunch of times. Or if that’s too arduous, a lot of distros have app stores, and work just like it does on Windows, Mac, or your phone/tablet. Ajibusu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to check it up when I get the new desktop that I will need in one of our offices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 The Linux operating system is quite durable and would serve the purpose of gaming well all you need is to by a system with at least 16gb ram and 1TB internal memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
