@ludd@mastodon.gamedev.place Its been like this for over a decade, so long as you stick to free software. Proprietary software still sucks on GNU+Linux, and will make your life worse.

@luddPerhaps your name explains everything.❓❓❓Linux worked just fine twenty years ago - you were broken.Linux and Cisco have been powering the entire Internet for the past twenty years - not noticing was your bad.You've been fucking using WyNd0z3 because you are the #Subjugated_Chattel - but there's still time for you to fix that.Welcome back from the #Darkside, Luke! May the 4th be with you.#luddite #Rumplestiltskin #hybernation #cave_dwellers🤘🤪🤘

@tallshipI've been using Linux for 15 years - most of that time on and off, because things did like to randomly break or just be weird and support for games wasn't in a good enough state until maybe 6-7 years ago (and still now and then, I find some straggling specialist software that needs me to have a Windows VM or dualboot, although that is rare nowadays.)Also, as pointed out, Luddites are/were not primarily anti-technology.@ludd

@tallshipAnd I'm not exactly sure why you'd mix in Cisco - that's proprietary as it comes.@ludd

@Takiro @ludd I'm using my Xbox One controller with the proprietary dongle using the Xone driver - Bluetooth might work too, though until about a year ago, Bluetooth on my laptop wasn't really working consistently, so do with that what you will.

@ludd Whenever I try to help my partner with her Windows computer, I think, "why is this OS so difficult"?Linux is a dream in comparison.

@markhburtonI sometimes wonder how much of this is familiarity bias - but Windows really makes it difficult for me to want to be familiar with it.@ludd

@luddOne of us! One of us! One of us! One of us! That 20 years was of a constant progress with Linux. Not always in a good direction, yet mostly forward.Now compare that to Windows.Windows has mostly progressed in shareholder value ^_^
