i really gotta jump ship from windows soon...
Man I wonder if someone will ever call me "not a real Linux user".
If so, I can link to the kernel commits I have to tell them to fuck off I guess.
💀💀💀
the quote I have here is from a toot thread I made on mastodon a while back, and this was one of the toots. I was talking about someone on steam who got mad at me and said in all caps "do not make linux builds if you don't have a linux machine to test on" which is very funny, since you have to have a linux machine to export linux builds in gamemaker lmao
Maybe they foolishly think that since there's way fewer Linux users compared to the total user count, that it's any more possible for game devs to test literally every possible configuration.
Which reminds me, I need to hop on your Discord again and discuss a Linux input issue, maybe you don't have my exact configuration in a bottle to test locally, as if that's something that's really easy to do for hardware and not software.
I'd rather studios ship a Linux build at all and mark it experimental, but, crucially, also welcome advanced users to send in bug reports, and use their feedback and workarounds to suss out the problem and fix bugs
some of my more detailed bug reports come from linux users, though bless their souls they send me the debug output but it's not useful half the time haha
I love her, but unfortunately I'm not smart enough for Linux. Scratch that, I'm learning Japanese and doing decent at it, I could probably learn Linux. But I just don't have the energy for it. I like turning on my computer and having things just work.
Linux Mint is a good one for Linux beginners. It usually Just Works.
More adventurous Linux beginners can also use KDE Neon, which is mostly Just Works as well, though during massive KDE updates things might get wonky for several days until the KDE Devs fix the wonks.
I'll have to check into it if I have spare time and a spare computer.
