And the windows circlejerk says private, secure, performant OSes that also play most games are trash not worth trying. Hm.

It's not a circlejerk to want to play a game I've paid for

I'm saying calling it a circlejerk to still be on Windows is unnecessarily derisive when the post I was responding to even calls out that Linux alternatives play most games. Most games is not all of my games. I'm not a Microsoft fanboy by any stretch, but if it's the only way to play a game I want to play, that is what I'll do.

I despise the term "circlejerk" and was only using it sarcastically. But in any case, I do grow tired of people shitting on linux. The reasons? I have explained a million times.
I mean, either deal with windows and its 1000 flaws or the same with linux. Some of us would just rather deal with flaws that are honest. I'd rather deal with a bug that 100 people around the globe work together to fix in a timely matter than deal with shit-ass "features" that actively ruin my experience because some disgusting executives want to buy more Porsches this summer. While pretending to care about me as a customer.
Cue "I just want to play games". Well yeah me too sometimes. Now that I have an AMD card, I never have a problem with it. I spent a lot of time testing my games and 86% worked fine. This included a lot of sketchy/old games (Jedi Knight 1 and 2 for example -- those barely can work on anything newer than win 98) that I didn't expect to work actually... If we're only talking new games, it's probably like 95%. I don't play games enough to care about an occasional poorly-written game not working.

To each his own. I wasn't knocking Linux, just responding to what I interpreted as an insinuation that anyone has a shrine to Bill Gates in their closet just because they still haven't made the jump.

I get that. I do think some people are pretty closed minded on the topic but you don't seem to fit that bill. MS is not playing the long game though. Even my brother who has been against the idea of Linux forever is coming around. He's installed it and playing around with it lately. He might just convert one day...
