I'm not vendor locked, and it doesn't suck, the team that makes that software are great guys doing awesome work and deserve the money they get

idk what you mean by plug n play regarding the triples. i don't know if you've ever had a triple setup, but it requires software to treat them as a single display and adjust for angles etc for a proper 48:9 fov

It's more complicated than that, for instance i use software that processes telemetry data from my racing simulators that control my tactile transducers. there's a million situations just like that if you do anything more than basic games on a basic screen.

What about surround for triple monitors? There's just so many little things that become a pain in the ass the moment you switch to Linux when it comes to gaming outside of the most basic, straight forward instances.

i mean, the compatibility is true though. i would love to switch to Linux on my gaming machine, but i don't wanna jump through the hoops.

No one willing to buy, so it ain't worth shit

I said Nintendo games, not estore games. First party games made by/licensed by Nintendo

I absolutely love souls games but cannot stand souls-likes

it's kind of funny to me but as growing up I was all about Nintendo, as I got into my later teens and early adulthood I was all PC and steam, I'm 35 now with the family tons of responsibility obligations but I've noticed as I get older I've been gravitating closer back to Nintendo and their dependability for good quality gaming and time well spent, I guess because my time is such a high premium, I stick to the games I know that are going to deliver.

agreed, freely distributed music is free advertisement for your upcoming performances

I see your point, but I fundamentally disagree; I think it's the perfect place to make such suggestions because it's a community where that approach may not be the first idea.

I also think it's the perfect place to make such suggestions because you're guaranteed to have different opinions and outlooks, thus generating productive conversation.. if everyone is mature and respectful which in this particular example they were not.

I don't think I need to explain to lemmy users how to bypass paying for Windows lol

You're paying a few bucks to ensure maximum compatibility for the games that you love to play, this isn't rocket science.

I wasn't telling anyone to do anything, I was merely making a rational suggestion that would completely solve their issue Jesus Christ you people are insane.

I hate to break it to you, but that is not at all what I said. People join that community to talk about gaming on Linux, myself included... not to piss and moan about not being able to game on Linux.

You are actually the kind of person i see people complaining about in this thread, getting extremely defensive and aggressive when someone has a different opinion to you/challenging your beliefs, thus echo chamber lol
