The dumbest part of the article is that the author seems to be blaming Valve for games that chose a kernel level anticheat that only works with Windows and consoles.
But because many anti-cheat apps still aren’t compatible with Linux (hence, SteamOS), installing Windows on Steam hardware is currently the only way that gamers can enjoy titles that require them.
That isn’t even a Windows issue. That is a publisher choosing an anticheat that has stupid limitations.
Yes. Windows is amazing for developers. It has Linux built in to it so you can use Linux on it as well as Windows. Windows is the best platform for developers that aren’t Mac exclusive.
I mainly use Zed(which is not really an IDE but who cares) and Intelij (only for Java and Kotlin tho), i think i had the best experience on Fedora, i am using windows tho because ma company says so
I’m not going to spend time writing up my experience just for you to tell me it was my fault or it didn’t happen. I have been on the internet for a bit now, I know this game. It happened.
There is no way to run a windows kernel module on other fucking OSes, Valve can’t do anything about it and there is no other good alternative, blame the fucking publisher not Valve
It’s like if i blame my town if my american shitty SUV can’t fit in their streets
Seems like Microsoft is who should be supporting Windows. It isn’t like Valve can fix Windows issues as Windows isn’t open source.
Valve offering drivers and notes is what they are able to offer for someone else’s proprietary product.
Microsoft support one of their own products? Crazy talk.

Funny enough, Microsoft is trying to stop kernel antivirus and anticheats due to CrowdStrike…
Well valve chose to release their product that runs their OS that doesn’t support what developers/publishers want, so yeah, that’s on valve.
You think developers WANT to work with Windows?
Yes. Windows is amazing for developers. It has Linux built in to it so you can use Linux on it as well as Windows. Windows is the best platform for developers that aren’t Mac exclusive.
As a developer, fucking windows, the expirience is so ass and having to use a glorified virtual machine (WSL) is so bad tooo
As a developer, windows is better than any alternative.
What IDE on what OS is better?
I mainly use Zed(which is not really an IDE but who cares) and Intelij (only for Java and Kotlin tho), i think i had the best experience on Fedora, i am using windows tho because ma company says so
I actually tried to use windows for dev work a few years ago and had an experience that couldn’t be more opposite to your claims
In what way?
I’m not going to spend time writing up my experience just for you to tell me it was my fault or it didn’t happen. I have been on the internet for a bit now, I know this game. It happened.
Good luck personalizing Windows as much as Linux and then distribute it
What are you even saying? Valve chose to release a Linux OS. They need to make sure it can do what people want it to, or people won’t use it.
There is no way to run a windows kernel module on other fucking OSes, Valve can’t do anything about it and there is no other good alternative, blame the fucking publisher not Valve
It’s like if i blame my town if my american shitty SUV can’t fit in their streets
So what do you think valve should do? Work with publishers to find a solution.
Happy cake day!
