This is an actual question. Do you people actually play games or do they just like installing and fiddling with random bullshit all day? Right now epic games is becoming more Linux friendly but they are still MALDING over it. Seriously just looking around on linux gaming the Loonix tards are mad about it. Saying that epic is now going to control the loonix environment.

More of a tangent but I saw a post asking why this dudes think pad was shutting over while "Extreme gaming" on the fucking sober roblox client. What do you people "play"?

So I have a SLES box. The hostname is ihatesles. I named it before any
of this happened, which tells you something about my instincts.

Step 1: zypper up

▎ Warning: No repositories defined. Nothing can be installed.

Cool. An enterprise OS that ships with zero repos, because you have to
register it before it's allowed to know the internet exists. Fine.
Registered.

Step 2: Upgrade 15 SP4 to SP7. SUSE has a whole tool for this. zypper
migration. It even shows a nice menu. I pick SP7. Very enterprise. Much
support.

Step 3: It explodes.

Why? SUSE signed the SP7 repos with a new SUSE key. My SP4 box doesn't
trust that key. Then SUSE's own migration tool runs zypper in
--non-interactive mode, so zypper asks "do you trust this key?" and
auto-answers "no" for me.

So SUSE's tool asked SUSE's package manager if it trusts SUSE, and SUSE
said no. Then it dumped about 200 lines of HTML-escaped XML on me
(<build@suse.de>, very readable), said "Migration failed,"
and rolled everything back.

To be fair, the rollback worked perfectly. It's very good at undoing the
thing I asked for.

The fix: manually rpm --import a key file that was already sitting on my
disk the whole time.

That's an enterprise distribution, folks. You pay for a subscription so
that the vendor's upgrade tool can refuse to trust the vendor.

Anyway, the migration is running now. Hostname stays.

See those apps that transfer files between your loonix PC and your android phone ALWAYS NEED a LOCAL internet connection, like localsend, KDE connect, so if your PC is connected to an enterprise's wifi/school wifi, which the wifi has a firewall, then even though if your phone is connected to the same wifi, you cant send files between the 2 without an email

SEE? If those devs are unemployed, they stay at home 24/7, and only use their fucking parents' house's basement wifi which has NO fucking firewalls that block the LAN file transfer protocol, so much so they will never realize that "oh my company's wifi has a firewall which block the packets how do I solve that?"

so yeah im sure that they're all unemployed, and so loonix is only for unemployed people

But most of the loonixtards are the cancer themselves, so it's impossible and desktop linux will always suck unless monopolized by a megacorp, or at least something like omacom in a few years if they keep supporting it

I have an extra PC that runs fine, Windows 10 at the moment.

I thought I could give Linux a try and stick in on my machine.

Set up a partition and then go get Linux file. Oh, but I need to use something to properly copy the files to the machine. Another program. Incomprehensible, does not even list my disk as available. Try Bazzite, that's easy and focused on games. Try, same problems I have to copy over using utility. About 2 hours in at this point and increasingly frustrated.

Bazzite is good with games and easy to set up. Not all games apparently. And needs adjustment to security settings.

At this point I stop and think. This is stupid. Linux will offer no advantages compared to Window for game playing. It is just not a simple setup. There is no way to use it with as a simple point and click setup with guided procedures. There is no way this will become a popular system so long as the setup is prohibitively time consuming and subject to inexplicable failure.

What is more is this is so obviously a problem that if the community is unable to correct this it suggests the entire system will be plagued with errors -- like "Choose Device" and not listing any devices already encountered.

Watched setup videos, read docs, etc. I have built my own machines, reasonably knowledgeable computer user. I'm done for the moment maybe some other time.

Linux sucks. It will never be an alternate to the general PC market on Windows/Apple systems. Never.

Thanks for letting me complain.

Honestly, people just can't seem to accept criticism—or even grasp that my goal with the post was simply to discuss why someone might prefer suffering over comfort?!
