It sounds like you were on the end of the chain in a game of telephone.

When Fred Trump III asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son's medical care, he says the former U.S. president suggested letting the young man die instead.

I could see how politicized media could morph that into "disabled people should just die" for clicks, though.

It was a stab at women, actually. No, I don't regret it.

I have nothing against transatlantic people, nor their accents.

Using workarounds to attempt to get foreign software running on an operating system for which is was never built is always going to be fraught with problems.

If the game isn't distributed compiled for your platform, then you are a second class citizen and no amount of API wrappers, translation layers, VMs or whatever will ever address the core issue.

Running a game in Proton (Wine) is not playing on Linux. It is your linux environment contorting itself and doing miraculous back flips in the hope of convincingly coaxing the Windows binary game into thinking that it is running on an actual Windows host.

Soft solution: Purchase games that are properly developed and released targeting your platform natively.

Hard solution: Graduate from playing games and move on with your life. (btw mine improved a lot after putting gaming behind me for good. + I can now use whatever computer hardware and software I damn well please)

So if a console came out next year that also exceeded Windows in the quantity of games, you which ditch your gaming PC and switch over to New Console™ in a heartbeat?

Fun side note: When I'd remoted into our medical client's workstations, there were more than a handful of occasions where the recipient on the other end had only just finished frantically closing out Netflix tabs.

Things like this make me hope very much that I my physical health holds out for decades to come.

~~Why~~ do conservatives believe gay, trans, black, brown, Liberals, and the disabled deserve to die?

Answer: A Windows PC + all of the consoles + all of the handhelds + both major mobile device brands.

It just depends on how much you're willing to sell your soul... in order to amuse yourself.

It is helpful to at least be able to represent your ideological opponents accurately. (Although I understand it is tempting to deliberately misrepresent them)

You're three points for republicans informs me that you spend nearly all of your time within an informational bubble.

I have to constantly remind myself that the average user today cannot tell the difference between a search engine and a web browser.

And we have the URL bar pulling double duty as a search engine entry form to thank for that.

Well, it is a gradient

Consoles are only a few rungs further down on the freedom ladder than a Windows PC. Both are somewhere near the bottom.
