That's because they want to use AI in a server scenario where clients login. That translated to American English and spoken with honesty means that they are spying on you. Anything you do on your computer is subject to automatic spying. Like you could be totally under the radar, but as soon as you say the magic words together bam!...I'd love a sling thong for my wife...bam! Here's 20 ads, just click to purchase since they already stole your wife's boob size and body measurements and preferred lingerie styles. And if you're on McMaster... Hmm I need a 1/2 pipe and a cap...Better get two caps in case you cross thread on.....ding dong! FBI! We know you're in there! Come out with your hands up!
The only thing stopping me from switching to Linux is some college software (Won't need it when I'm done) and 1 game (which no longer gets updates and thus is on the path to a slow sad demise)
So I'm on the verge of going Penguin.
Just run Windows in a VM on Linux. You can use VirtualBox.
Yeah use Windows in a VM and your game probably just works too, I was surprised that all games I have on Steam now just work on Linux.
Years ago when I switched from OSX to Linux I just stopped gaming because of that but I started testing my old games and suddenly no problems with them anymore.
What software / game is that? it could still run in Wine or Bottle.
Plants vs. Zombies garden Warfare 2. It used to run on Linux but then they added Easy anti-cheat which broke compatibility.
They don't update the game anymore and they've essentially abandoned the franchise after the flop that was battle for neighborville so I'm not too sad leaving it behind. Was a very fun game though.
That's sad... i am not able to play battlefield 2042 after switching to linux too. For the same reason, their anti cheat is not compatible
You're really forcing it at that point. Wine can't run most of what I need to use for work. I'm excited for the day I can ditch Windows, but it's not any time soon unfortunately. I'll have to live with WSL.
But..... i am still curious.. what are you trying to run 😆
Not the same person with the program. Just another person making an excuse.
MobaXTerm namely. It will start up, but it misses a lot of features when used in Wine. To the point it's not usable for work purposes.
You can just install Linux besides windows. It’s easy, I did it last month.
