Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

Same here. I’ve only a Linux machine for over a decade but I had to go out and buy Windows just so I could play on FaceIT. I’m praying that cs2 supports Linux and the MM experience is good enough to make FaceIT obsolete.

Cs2 is 100% getting Linux support. Wouldnt make sense for a company that heavily invested in Linux to not support it

Buy windows? 🤯🤯🤯

[–] CeeBee@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A Windows license is in the realm of $200

I hope they didn't actually buy it from M$ at least, but a third party reseller for five bucks

[–] Ineocla@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Personally never bought it. (Windows activation script ftw)

[–] philluminati@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I did, it was £79 or £89 if I recall. Windows 10 home edition. Also I don’t get Windows 11 because my mobo/cpu don’t support it.

Why should he?
