I feel like I’ve been gaslit into running FOSS but every success only brings me closer to fighting god

    I don’t run Linux (though I’m admittedly more interested in it than I used to be) but the reddit API stuff definitely made me learn more about foss, and value it more.

      If you’re already feeling some interests your gonna jump ship sooner or later. I made the switch last year and its been nothing short of amazing.

      Steam, gog and epic games all work. Some run better then on windows, others require a tinker step.

      You can run and install most exes, even pirated games using Lutrius.

      Blazing fast. I have sm called hyprland sway and win11 feels like the stone age compared.

      Best of all: COMPUTERS ARE FUN AGAIN You learn so much but its intuitive enough you don’t even notice.

        Interesting to know that steam, gog, and epic (specifically) all work well for you, I’ve heard mixed results with Epic, some say it doesn’t work. Maybe I’ve gotten wrong info.

        I have an older laptop, and as soon as I can upgrade to something better, I’m going to use it as a Linux practice.

          I am using heroic launcher to play blazing sails on epic right now. I am on Arch, which I believe is a positive since the steam deck is arch based (i heard).

          The escapist 2 i have not gotten to work properly though. It runs but with like 1fps. Apparently this is because epics implementation and it runs smooth with steam. Definitely test things on a game by game basis.

      I do value FOSS sodtware and like linux for it being foss(there are many other reasons too though). I do think understanding importance of Free software is much important than admiring one of the(most important) free software projects. I can see yku usibg linux soon or later in the future, along with other free programs

        I think maybe I’m misunderstanding—are you saying that valuing free software is more important than valuing FOSS? FOSS is inherently free, no? Free Open Source Software. I would understand if I was talking about open source in general, but FOSS does include being free. Maybe that’s not what you meant.
