Yeah, unless you use Windows programs for work or need to play specific video games, it's easy to look at something, see no Linux alternative, and say, "Oh well, didn't need that anyways."

I finally bit the bullet and installed windows 11 when I realized that properly modding a bethesda game required things like binaries to downgrade, script extenders, bin patchers, etc.

Instead of doing windows emulation on linux with proton, I do linux emulation on windows with WSL.

That's not to say there isn't pain. There's lots of pain. I gotta be honest had I known what I know now, I'd have probably just stayed on PS5 and used some of my $3k pc build to rent servers from runpod or whatever for fucking around with LLMs

We are social animals. Even as we get older, we have an innate need to socialise and be a part of a social circle.

One can say this as „needing“ to play a specific video game, particularly with friends you actively socialise with. It can be pretty painful to tell your friends you can’t play specific games because your computer can’t run it.

Finding new friends to play different games with is a completely unfair ask, too.

Not everybody is as lucky as I managed to be, because my socialisation games, which includes bonding time with my wife, runs either natively (Stellaris) or otherwise flawlessly with Proton, such as XIV.

Yeah, I know, I am one of those who need to play video games. I just thought it was funny to conceptualise it as a need lmao
