Ubuntu is actually falling down the ad hole lately. It’s not great, even if you leave out the technical issues that the distribution leans into these day (snaps, amongst other things)
Counterpoint: why should I be compelled to give Canonical literally anything besides using the package manager to say “I’m using your software and I want the update”? Why do we need this additional new corporate-authorized side channel? What benefit does this yield, outside the realm of profit?
They’re a for-profit company, ubuntu pro is supposed to entice business customers. You and I get introduced, because canonical hope that we might use ubuntu profesionally and they gain a new customer. I don’t hate it personally, but I see why people don’t like it.
I’m sensing genuine hostility here, so clearly I struck a nerve.
Tell you what, I think that’s enough introspection for today, I’ll let you get back to finding sexual release through trolling.
Honestly, I think that’s probably healthier than whatever you had planned for that female relative of yours. If this helps keep her safe from your instability and acting on fantasies of violence, sexual or otherwise, I think you should keep on trolling.
Running software designed and compiled only for XYZ system is always going to incur overhead when translating or emulating to ABC system.
Game authors and publishers who only build for Windows are giving users a big middle finger and essentially saying “You must suffer through Windows in order to enjoy our product hassle-free lol”.
What worked for me (which may or may not work for others) was to wean myself away, at first with only playing games that were built natively for linux.
Then moving the line in the sand to only DRM-free native linux builds.
Then advancing to only open source games.
These days, I just don’t even play games and I find that it really frees up what kinds of things I want to do on my computers, such as daily driving exotic CPU architectures (and also I have so much more free time for actual meaningful pursuits like learning new skills).
As all the cool kids keep saying, now is a great time to try out Linux.
No, I’m not recommending a distro for you, that is what DuckDuckGo is for.
DuckDuckBuntu?

Literally why I chose Debian as my first distro for daily use.
Oh god, what did they do? Do they show ads on the gui?
In the system update dialog, you’ll see something like:
Ubuntu Pro is a subscription service.
This is seriously at the level of Norton “AntiVirus”, and it’s truly absurd and nakedly predatory.
I see they have the lobes for business.
Wait, they’re withholding security updates unless you pay? Hope they go bankrupt.
It’s free for personal use though. Canonical have turned ubuntu rather corporate, but let’s stick to the facts.
Fair point.

I agree.

Mint or Fedora. KISS.

Can you only get hard by trolling? Or are you just really seriously lonely and depressed?
I blocked them, they seem to have a serious boot licking fetish.
To bad, your missing out on the revealing dialogue I had with him IMO.

AIDS? So sexual frustration is definitely a key part of your pathology. Interesting.
Tell me, how often do you think about close female relatives of yours? Are you mostly imagining hurting them, molesting them, or both?
I’m betting it’s both.

Godspeed my sick little buddy, godspeed.
Not sure I’d want to see that, tbh. It would only introduce more avenues for DDG to make questionable choices when they’re already on thin ice.

Can you run windows games on linux without it being resource intensive like using a vm or something?
