  • As far as I can tell, no one has accused you of promoting Windows over Linux, but please feel free to correct me if I missed something.

    I think the flak that you have been receiving is based on your perceived attitude, whether or not that perception is accurate. Many, perhaps most people in this thread, myself included, think that 10%+ FPS improvements can be accurately described as “massive.” You can absolutely disagree in a reasonable and good faith manner.

    My understanding and perception of your responses is that you not only disagree that the outlined improvements can possibly be described as “massive,” but also that anyone who claims otherwise is a blind Linux shill, doesn’t understand the definition of the word “massive,” and is suffering from mob mentality.

    Countering the argument, and not the messenger (e.g Buddy get over yourself. Geez) is a much more effective way to express your point.


  • I was referring to this specific edit to your initial comment:

    Edit: geez this single comment brought more people out of the woodwork to respond to me than anything else I have commented on lemmy

    I’m not even here arguing which one is better like come on now

    Massively is the wrong word to use it’s that simple

    While I personally think that an average of over %10 FPS improvement in itself qualifies as massive in the current landscape, reasonable minds can absolutely disagree of course. The inclusion of price is just another layer of advantage, only bolstering the “massive” overall improvement.

    I have been having a nice evening so far, thank you, and I hope you’ve been having the same.


  • From what I can tell, at least in this specific instance, aubertlone has only received downvotes for comments they made that were directly attacking or insulting those with differing opinions from themselves. I believe their initial comment before the edit did add positively to the discussion.

    I can’t speak to the second part of your comment, but I’m sorry to hear that you received that response to your opinions.


  • It’s absolutely your right, and fine to disagree with the usage of the word “massive” in this context. It’s not OK to insult people who disagree with you however.

    It’s OK for people to have differing opinions, and your initial comment was a good discussion starter. The edit complaining about it causing said discussion, saying “it’s that simple,” the subsequent post stating that you believed your opinion on the matter was the absolute truth based on the dictionary definition of the word “massive,” and that any disagreement was insane in your opinion, is where I take umbrage. I hope you can see where I’m coming from.

    I’m sorry that your comment has ultimately driven such a negative response, and I hope you are able to have a good day regardless.


  • I think it’s all a matter of perspective.

    In absolute terms, these differences aren’t very significant (with maybe the exception of the 2 hours to 7 hours battery life improvement in that one specific game). But in relative terms, especially when considering that these games are not native to Linux, that these degrees of improvement typically only happen after a hardware upgrade, and that these improvements are available on the same device as the Windows version, but for $130 USD cheaper, it all adds up to something significant. In my opinion, the word “massive” is appropriate.

    I’m sorry to hear that Linux has been the least compatible for your uses. It’s certainly not for everyone, but you at least have a plethora of alternative options at your disposal. I don’t understand why you’re making such a big deal about the manner in which other people are describing these improvements when clearly none of this applies to you.



  • I currently run it with Keycloak for Auth and previously had it behind a Nginx Proxy Manager reverse proxy, but have since switched to using a Cloudflare tunnel.

    It works great and allows me to provision limited and controlled access over various game servers to admins of those servers. They can access what they need and nothing more, and only on the servers that they have been granted access.
