I’m helping a family member build a pc. He wanted to use Windows because “Linux can’t play games” despite me having a perfectly good gaming laptop running Linux that runs all my games, even graphically intensive ones.
2 days later, no game has been played yet. We can’t even get steam to start. I even installed Arch on a sata ssd I donated just to verify the pc parts actually work (took less than an hour). It took 1 and a half days to even get the Windows 11 installer to get past like the 3rd screen.
Fucking fuck. Dealing with all this fucking bullshit is far worse than not being able to play a few trashy anticheat pay 2 win games. The anti Linux circlejerk is real.
Lol come on dude it’s not that hard.
Lol I threw in the towel after round 2 of the insider hub with windows 11 beta
Thanks for ignoring literally everyone’s demands and removing the core features that made windows usable Microsoft
Been happy on Fedora for 2 years. Never going back.
Hasn’t even been stable since windows 7 tbh
Oh you installed Windows 11? That’s your problem right there. Go back to Windows 10
Bruh if you can’t figure out Windows then just give up.
ROFL, I like Linux, but if you can’t install windows 11 easily. The problem isn’t win11…
It is not harder, windows is just playing find the config toggles with its users. it’s like easter all year long.

It’s not just P2W games that don’t have anticheat support, id keep windows for warzone alone but there are a few more that don’t work with proton because of anticheat software. Unfortunately mostly the games I play.

How the fuck are you having this much trouble? I mean there’s some really easy distros out there like Nobara but if you can install Arch how the fuck have you failed to install windows? Just make a windows 10 bootable and follow the on screen instructions until you’re in the desktop.

Do you struggle dressing yourself too? Lol
If you cannot figure out Windows, go buy iPhone and iPad, those Fisher price toys will be more suited to your knowledge level.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m gathering that you’re a bit upset.

Building a PC technically doesn’t include OS installation.
Build it, boot your OS of choice from a live USB to verify the hardware all works, then walk away.
I told my friends and family years ago that I will be happy to set them up with a working Linux installation and will support them as needed… but if they want to use Windows they are on their own.
I thought this would be a post complaining about the usablility of windows as a desktop, not the one thing windows does right…
That’s the shittiest shitpost ever.
I think they should be able to choose their OS. If they choose something you see as shitty, so be it.
Unless you are literally retarded I can’t see how you can have that much trouble with windows.
Right? Steam installs within one click on all my windows PC’s and running games is again, a click away. Windows 11 installed on my Surface 7 Pro within 30 mins.
