You know it's going to just report your piracy to the feds. Same with Mac OS. If you intend to be a dissident, even a leftie, you need to go to an alternative OS. NOW. TODAY.

Also all our computers are fast enough. When I started Unix computing I was a user on a shared 100MHz Power processor from IBM with a WHOPPING 1GB RAM. With 11,000 other students most of whom never logged into a shell thankfully.

Now I am the SOLE user on a 4 CPU Intel i7 with 16GB RAM and 48 GB swap. Nigger in the old days I would run a compiler and then go out drinking and pass out on some porch and wander home and eventually log in over the MODEM to the phone line pool and check my progress and half the time the shit was still compiling.

It's comped. NetBSD or OpenBSD are the only non-globohomo OS's going with full POSIX support thus running most Unix programs.

Also of note are several alternative OS's. But Linux is done for.

That one jap has some patches to XP64 that makes it compatible with Windows 8 and that version's newest GPU and audio stuff.

I stayed on Linux in the late 2000s after about 5 years of dual booting when I had a powerful enough machine that could do virtualisation for the really old software that just was a massive pain to work with wine.

Gaming, while it's gotten better thanks for Valve, I just see that as a massive time sink and pretty much every person I know that's late 30s and early 40s that still plays them for hours every week have been massive failures. All childless, stuck in jobs they hate, often having other vices like alcohol or weed and absolutely no ambition, just wanting to complain about their situations and escape rather than do anything to address it.

When I just said fuck this, gave up other things like porn or going out to get drunk and chase women, I found I had way more time on my hands to actually do things I wanted. For the first time in years I actually got things done that I'd been putting off for many years and I turned my life around.

I see people use something like Windows 11, with its ads baked in to the OS and constant popups it's like, why would you subject yourself to this Pajeet shit? Yeah Linux can have it's issues but if you just go for some mainstream distro like Kubuntu you won't have any major issues. And I can say that after trying practically every distro and DE. It's not that I don't think things like rolling release or tiling window managers aren't cool. I still do, but when you get older you start to ask yourself is it really worth my time fiddling with this thing now it's broken? In my 20s, I thought yes, because I was at least learning things every time I fixed something.

>>512506640
Don't connect that shit to the internet. The source code of XP was also leaked, there may be versions of it that people are maintaining (so that they fix issues or get newer things to work). There are also things like ReactOS which aims to be compatible with Windows.

No no, what happened was the FBI hired some glownigger front to try to put in a specific pozzed driver for a specific stack in and the OpenBSD people caught it which triggered a freeze and refactoring of the whole OS including their proactive securty.

Ever since the NSA has been really fully against it. It all goes back to Theo rightfully saying the Iraq war was bullshit and 911 was an inside job. Now he's got NSA niggers and etc. on his tuchus for life.

Why are you complicating yourself?
As a gamer, just install "nobara" you'll get all drivers all graphic card settings, steam, wine etc.. everything out of the box.
Just login, install whatever game you want to play and play. The entire OS is literally designed to switch over from windows gaming to Linux gaming in an hour

i transitioned from teen computer nerd to adult weeboo pedophile, and my fantasy is to pretend to be a ghost and jack off in my own hand while watching a barely underage hottie play retro games on an emulator in a beanbag chair.
I had my penis surgically removed as well.
As you might have guessed, my lifestyle doesn't mesh with the popular appeal linux has, which this year surpassed 75 million users

Sad to hear you have issues, have not played cyberpunk on Linux, typically everything works fine for me. I don't mind figuring out issues once every 6 months or so to avoid windows bloat and spyware, but it's understandable normies don't want this.
There are great tools to virtualize windows that runs fast AF, but I never tried those myself

I can attest that Cyberpunk does have some additional configuring than most other games, at least it did with my NVIDIA card, at least to get the best performance out of it. I had a lowly 1650 but was still able to get 70-80 FPS on a mixture of medium and high settings according the in-game benchmark.
As for virtualization, you can actually just boot Windows from bare-metal with QEMU pass-through so long as the hypervisor supports it, which most will on a modern system. It isn't even virtualization at that point, you are literally dual-booting as-in having two system booted at the same time (no VM), not one at a time. It will usually require two GPUs to make it practical though (integrated/discrete is fine).
