No, there are DRM games on GOG (or have been anyway).

And Steam also has DRM-free games.

But, surprise, everyone knew all of that 8 fucking years ago.

They knew Trump voters will vote Trump no matter what.

They knew he will spew lies in every direction at record speed.

They knew what has happened to Hillary.

They've seen the Biden victory.

And NOTHING was learned at any of this.

I'm not from the US, but I do blame the DNC ever since 2016. And, while I am distraught and sad that Trump will guarantee the death of us all through global catastrophy, he did nothing new this election, from the previous two. And neither did anyone else. Guess what happens when the people get fucked by high prices and no help?

DNC is actively stopping actual leftists, there is no hope for any meaningful progress, just small kisses of good gestures.

Imagine if the leftists had a manifesto like Project 2025. Imagine strong messages like 'taxes only for the billionaires', 'free press from the oligarchy', 'no more oil subsidies', 'reign in the wall street and blackrock'.

Not really a language-specific problem, but why should that stop us from this goal?

Gentoo OpenRC gang rise up!

They put on a different hat, but they are still here, shouting 'they are trying to supress us'. Come back next week for 'we will hunt you down'.

Boo freaking hoo.

It's not like there are so many other ways to cheat, actually used in many games with anticheats.

We should all stop pretending it's necessary to put malware into your computer just so some company can claim they have no cheaters, which is never even true.

The number one reason not to switch is "I don't want to". And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

'But muh games' only very few don't work OOB or at all.

'I need this software' most works flawlessly under Wine.

'It crashes' exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

'Hardware isn't plug&play' more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

Jusy say "I dont want to give it a shot" or "I'm in the minority that can't switch", but don't bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads... It's dishonest and in bad faith.

FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

I get that most don't care, but that doesn't mean supporting those companies is good.
