Microsoft's OneDrive cloud storage service is installed on your PC by default, and it can cause some trouble when playing PC games on multiple devices.
Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it.
But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn’t support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.
…is worth mentioning that gaming on LInux doesn’t work very well because middle ware (anticheat and stuff) do expect weird things designed by Microsoft. See this in the case of ACPI:
It seems unfortunate if we do this work and get our partners to do the work and the result is that Linux works great without having to do the work. Maybe there is no way to avoid this problem but it does bother me.
Maybe we could define the APIs so that they work well with NT and not the others even if they are open. Or maybe we could patent something related to this.Bill Gates quote
Dont play shitty games whose devs(or rather the companys behind) purposefully fuck up to not let it run on Linux
I don’t. Most games I play are single player indie titles that run perfectly fine on the steam deck. I’m merely pointing out that people also like to play multiplayer games, and particularly in the competitive games, anti cheat software is often used to thwart cheaters and unfortunately that anti cheat software is often incompatible with linux/proton, either by lack of consideration or on purpose.
you should be mad at them not searching for the fault at valve or Linux.
At no point did I blame valve or linux for these issues, feel free to point out where I did that. I was clearly blaming the game developers that implement such “features” to the detriment of linux users.
All I was saying that your “solution” to “just install linux” is, unfortunately, not something that universally works for everyone.
He’s been on the Kool-Aid too long to know what he’s talking about anymore. Likely one of those who gaslights new and jaded Linux users who’ve run into problems on the platform and tells them they’re wrong or were too lazy in searching for a solution

No it’s not worth mentioning. At all.
I don’t care. Gamers don’t care. Nobody but people defending the honor of Linux care. They just want it to work.
Pro tip: I couldn’t give a fuck that Nvidia doesn’t work either.
You give off that vibe of “I got mine so fuck everyone else”
Maybe 🤷♂️
But it represents the reality and a huge barrier to entry.

Doesn’t sound like he’s blaming Linux at all. Only stating that your answer to everything doesn’t work for everyone.

Or just use Windows.

You have absolutely no idea what you’re even saying anymore, do you? Just sitting there vomiting up sentences irregardless of what they mean.
