Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

Same here. I’ve only a Linux machine for over a decade but I had to go out and buy Windows just so I could play on FaceIT. I’m praying that cs2 supports Linux and the MM experience is good enough to make FaceIT obsolete.

Cs2 is 100% getting Linux support. Wouldnt make sense for a company that heavily invested in Linux to not support it

100% im switching to nixos/arch when cs2 releases

should release this summer, right?

Counting down the days... Less than a month to go??

They'll release it in valve time

Buy windows? 🤯🤯🤯

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I hope they didn't actually buy it from M$ at least, but a third party reseller for five bucks

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Personally never bought it. (Windows activation script ftw)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I did, it was £79 or £89 if I recall. Windows 10 home edition. Also I don’t get Windows 11 because my mobo/cpu don’t support it.

In Germany we would say "Windows 11 ist Quatsch"

A Windows license is in the realm of $200

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't want to encourage Windows usage, but if you really need it you can buy a grey market license for $10-20.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but I'm just pointing out that a "proper" official Windows license isn't cheap.

@fhein @CeeBee In the EU, you can sell used software licences afaik. I bought windows 10 a few times, really cheap. With office 2019, and one time with office 2021.

Why should he?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

that's supposedly the only way to run it legit

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

CSGO already supports Linux. It's going to be the same appid on steam. It's unlikely they'd remove os support for cs2.
