So the thing is, English is not my first language and I used the wrong word. I guess it’s more like greasy bread. Just plain pig fat spread on a slice of bread. But what you just described actually sounds awesome.

The good old 2000s when you could host and successfully distribute any virus disguised as something popular by slapping a _full, _HD or .rar/zip (or any combination) at the end of the file name.
I used to look up lard bread and there was a hit for lard bread_full.rar on the first page.

Multiplayer (competitive?) gaming in general is pretty poorly supported on Linux. It’s not necessarily Linux’s fault: it’s enough to deal with one OS’s loopholes as an anti cheat developer, let alone two or more; but if you happen to actually enjoy playing games like Valorant, League of Legends, PUBG, Counter Strike or basically most of the big names, then, unfortunately, you don’t really have a choice.
I’ve been waiting for the (nearly?) full compatibility of multiplayer games for 20 years. I would love to solely use Linux, but I’m afraid it’s not just HDR or music production.
I’m just guessing, I’m still using Windows (though I would have made the swap literally decades ago if the games I like in particular ran on Linux just as fine): it’s not about functionality; Windows was designed to be a great tool to do your business.
It’s everything else that you pay in return, the price being the least of the problems. Forced ads, forced software, insane amount of “telemetry” (half of which is just data collection for their own gains), to name a few. Year by year it’s getting harder, more complicated and more tedious (and less and less doable) to remove all the forced ads, reverse all the forced program defaults and automatic bloat. If you have to look it up on the Internet how you need to edit the registry to be able to stop certain processes/services that annoy you, then it means they don’t want you to stop the annoyance. A few patches later you can’t even do it. Dishonest stuff like that.
If you’re fine with everything that Win11 means, including stuff that drives others up the wall, then Win11 is for you and there’s nothing wrong with that.
As much as others here love to shit on certain games (like League of Legends or Valorant), I still find them fun to play and I wouldn’t want to say goodbye to them just because otherwise I’d prefer Linux. There’s a reason they aren’t supported on various OS’s at the same time (developing anti cheat on multiple systems is just super labour intensive, and opens up way too many loopholes/exploits/bugs for cheat developers), and it pretty much applies to ANY multiplayer game. If I only played single player games I would switch in an instant.
You can turn off stuff that the programmers allow you to through a settings menu (that they wrote), configuration files (that they make their program to read) or fiddling 3rd party stuff that it’s using (like your driver settings, external libraries, etc.).
Similarly to how GTA V’s (could be GTA Online) extreme loading time was caused by a very inefficient way of loading data. Users couldn’t change the algorithm themselves; they could investigate what was going on, but the developers were the only ones being able to actually change it to a recommended version.
Obviously the story is a bit different with an open source code which you can compile for yourself.
Makes me wonder how many seconds till they realise the users won’t be able to tell if the game is still loading or it’s just monetised delay. Bonus points if a user finds out, lobbies to get it banned and then they just include bullshit extra processing to justify it.
The future looks so bright.
Whenever I have to edit a text file when nauseous, I just vom it.
It wasn’t necessarily out of laziness but it screams laziness to me. Nobody would have noticed if OP just simply corrected CNIDA and nothing else in Gimp, hey, even in MSPaint.
It may depend on location but I get awful long buffering times with piped.
Oh, there was 0 offense taken, mockery didn’t even cross my mind. I just simply realised I was probably misleading first.
