The previous person was worried that Valve wouldn't be able to convince "a sizable chunk of users" to move to Linux because all of the software they sell is written for Windows. If we apply a little bit of critical thinking, we realize that Valve has actually already thought of this(!) and applied a different(!) solution that solves the same problem(!) without requiring "everyone to write software for something that's not the platform nearly all users are running". If you want to see Valve's attempt at getting everyone to switch to Linux without using compatibility tools you should look into how successful their Steam Machine campaign was.

Nice, I'll have to watch this. A quick skim through the YT comments says that it's AMD drivers which is the only thing I could think of. Linux Mint 21 actually has an "EDGE" iso which has a newer kernel version, and Linux Mint 22 is instead going to track the latest HWE kernels, so my understanding is this type of hardware problem should be a thing of the past at least in Linux Mint's world. I don't know if Ubuntu has their own plans or not.

They've more or less already done that with Proton and DXVK. Nearly all Windows games "just work" on Linux without developers needing to change anything. TBH whenever big studios develop Linux versions of games they're usually not well-done anyway; for now it's better if people develop with their comfy Windows tools and let compatibility tools take care of the translation. When the balance shifts to Linux dominance we can start pressing on them to learn how to use Linux SDKs.

Mint uses the same kernel version as Ubuntu, so that's not really a point in favor of Ubuntu in any case. Do you remember what video it was?

Yes, almost certainly.

I really wish GOG was a stronger supporter of Linux. I would move my business over to GOG where possible if so. Right now I heavily value the work that Valve has put into not only making Linux gaming a reality, but the Linux desktop in general as a side-effect.

You keep using the word "animal", but anthropomorphic cartoons are not real animals. Attraction to real animals is not what being a furry is. (You already know this, you are using the term in a loaded way in order to say one thing but mean another) (this unfortunately does not convince anyone).

There's nothing inherent to being a furry that demands a "delusional fantasy" (you would know this if you knew what furries are). You call yourself Deceptichum and have a transformers avatar - you may be at risk of being in a "delusional fantasy" if that's how you want to classify the people with anonymous names and furry avatars!

So where is the part where the "world is a worse place" because of furries?

It is repeatedly hilarious that you pretend that these arguments are any different than the ones homophobes are using. What is the harm, exactly?

Giving up when facing any opposition seems like you never really intended on improving your worldview. You just want to be hateful of things that you don't understand. The irony of you thinking that those who oppose the LGBT are any different is not lost on me. It's easy to punch down on things that you don't personally like, but those are real people that you're targeting with your malice. I'm not a furry, but I am gay, and as an LGBT member yourself you should understand the power of being an ally to a minority that often gets painted in a bad light. Doubly so when ~80% of furries are LGBTQIA+ in the first place; it's an LGBT subculture.

That is again not even close to a correct definition, and it is interesting that you think yourself the best person to judge something that you don't know the first thing about.

Unhealthy designated by you, the puritan police? Do you know that the anti-LGBT people also consider being gay unhealthy? They're drawing the line in a different place, but still playing the same role you are. Would you recommend shock therapy for furries, or is that just a cure for being gay? If you're so concerned with how the furry fandom works you should maybe actually research your bigotry and learn that it's massive, and no two furries express themselves in the same way. Many do not have overlapping interests at all. You are on the fediverse, so I'd suggest you get comfortable with the idea that people are allowed to exist without your permission.

That's not really how furries work so you might want to work a little harder if you're going to designate yourself as the puritan police of what people are allowed to like. Let me know when you've moved on to how gay sex is unnatural and trans people aren't real.
