  • I’ve used Prism Launcher. But since I maintain a Modrinth modpack, I want to use the Modrinth Launcher.

    And all of the other problems can surely be fixed, I know. But the easiest way to fix all of them are just to quickly boot into the other OS.

    About the problem on Windows: first of all, there are way less. Hardware and software works out of the box most of the time. I don’t use the Start thing at all so I’m not noticing the bloatware although I do know it’s there. And account requirement is no problem, I created a dummy account with an email alias. The only issues I have with windows are autoupdates, and terrible control over the OS. Like not knowing where the Java binaries are and not having a common /etc/ where all your configs are. I also like packagemanagers on Linux. Other than that, Windows works just fine so far.


  • Since fixing these things are so easy, why don’t we continue with fixing my 5.1 Surround speaker that are plugged in with basic 3.5mm plugs and don’t work at all? And my GSync monitor that isn’t doing its GSync stuff. And my games having subpar performance. How about my Mincraft Modrinth Mod launcher that has like 10 fps just in the menu. Then let’s also fix all the DRM issues with Netflix and Prime.

    I’ve been using Linux in Dual boot for decades for development purposes. But only for this. Because the list of problems is extremely long. I know I can fix all of that somehow but I’m just not going to do that. When I have a problem, I’ll just boot over to Windows where I usually don’t have it or it’s easier to fix.






    • Well Raytracing doesn’t work in Cyberpunk 2077. Besides that, some other games also have terrible performance. Even Minecraft, that’s running natively. Constant stutters with low GPU utilization.
    • Logitech keyboard works but I cannot configure it because the software is not supported on Linux
    • Xbox controller does not connect with the dongle unless I install the xone drivers
    • I can think of a dozent more software other than the Logitech one that don’t have an installation for Linux

    Sure you can fix any of these problems above like running Windows software with Wine or installing the appropriet drivers. But I don’t want to do that if I can just use Windows with no extra work.
