lol not everyone that likes a different OS is a "stan". The meme in the OP is about windows on steam deck competitors. I'm pointing out why windows on steam deck competitors has lots of benefits. Why can't you handle that?

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i haven't even personally seen any of these things. so no, I literally can't handle that. i'm also very annoyed buy steam and valve, in general. but windows? windows is the worst.

i haven’t even personally seen any of these things. so no

You're not on many gaming forums then, especially not PC ones.

Windows is the best PC operating system there is because basically everything is made for it and everything works on it.

i meant I've never physically been near one of these things, specifically the Steam Deck or its competitors.

yeah, I'm not. i build my own, but i don't need that toxic silly trash.

Ok cool, so you probably shouldn't be having this conversation about things you're not seeing.

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i'm comfortable with windows and with linux. the hardware in all these things is interesting. so you want to go with proprietary software. love you for it.

I'm fine with proprietary software, yes. I go with the software that best meets my needs, and that's Windows. I'm not saying you can't prefer linux, I'm just giving my reasons why Windows is what most people prefer.

[–] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

no one has forgotten that Windows is the most popular. who cares. you're the one yelling about windows on mobile platforms and it is the best shit ever. I still think linux is better, but it's debatable. this is like arguing with my grandpa after he got DOS 6.0 in a box, on 3.5" disks. He thought he was the most clever of fellows. Fuck him.

I'm not though. I'm explaining the reasons why the meme is shit.
