Terrible idea! I'm completely against it.
It would be a Ghetto indeed, which means, that Linux users would just be put there and forgotten.
The reason for the constant noise of the Penguins is, that they are too often forgotten, even if they are the only ones with a DRM-free OS on a page that is dedicated to DRM-free gaming.

This.

WINE Is Not an Emulator!

Besides, I prefer native ports just like everyone else, at least there are more around every year now.

Oh c'mon, haven't you read his other post in the IE thread? He has only used Chrome and Edge, so he's either a bad troll or he has just discovered the computer.

Yeah, go on, keep telling us how we should use our computers, we all *love* that here.
How many years of experience in IT do you have for posting "facts" like this one without feeling ashamed?

Hey, guess what? There’s already been a couple users in this thread that posted about their preference for Windows over Linux, but you’re actually the first one to treat use like idiots that don’t know what they’re doing.

I haven't treat anybody here like a idiot, sorry if my words offended you, I was just giving my opinion..
I have used others navigators, but I have to use IE to be a MASTER OF PC? lol
oh I didn't know that it is not a emulator, I used Linux a few years ago but I always thought It was ,sorry for my mistake

That is like saying "I don't like ham because it does not look and taste like cheese". It is your choice, but it is also your loss for not opening yourself to new horizons.

GNU/Linux is not Windows, it does not try to be Windows, and you should not expect it to behave like Windows. (You may want to look at ReactOS if you want a better Windows. But you may have to wait.)
If you start with wrong assumption, you are bound to fail. That is like going on a blind date expecting to meet Sara Sampaio! (She is a Portuguese model, dear international readers. Yeah, all girls look like that over here.)

I would suggest that you create an opinion based on what GNU/Linux *is*, and not based on what it does not try to be. If you want Windows and nothing else could satisfy you, then you need not even look elsewhere. However, if you try to get to know GNU/Linux, to learn about it and actually make an honest effort to go beyond first appearances (come on, it is not that hard!), then you may come to realize that you actually have something that works better than what you already have. Or not, but then it is an informed opinion.

Notes:
I call it GNU/Linux because I'm being pedantic.

Sara Sampaio does not represent Windows here. She represents a cross between the lean and talented mother Haiku and robust father OpenBSD. She is nice to get along with, like her uncle NetBSD, and was blessed at birth by her Hurd microkernel Fairy Godmother. And of course, she can play Windows games better than Windows — without requiring a binary driver blob!

And even better: it is Free (not that I expect many of you to care about this). Exactly! Feel free to try it! ;-)

I'll say!
Most users would just reboot and notice that the problem was gone. But GNU/Linux provides you the tools that allow you to do something more about it.

This is sorta something that's always confused me. Why do you need to update? If the system was built well enough you shouldn't need to update hardly at all, and updating introduces bugs (true you deal with some bugs but the sheer number of lines of code in MS's OS guarantees you're adding more bugs than your removing). I just think back to either my Atari800XL days where the OS was literally a 4k booting ROM and included BASIC. That was it. No security issues, no loop holes, no updates every other day, no cranking the CPU for hours on end, nothing. Hell, with no hard drive any viruses only affected ram until you rebooted, making a virus totally moot, or a curiosity.

Earlier i never used updates with windows (95/98 or XP). Once installed the computer runs at a constant speed within expectations; Internet security is a much simpler thing when you are behind a good firewall/router, and don't use programs that have huge glaring security holes. For a few years i was happily using lynx as a browser and never once had an issue with worrying about getting a worm or email virus :P Or better yet when i couldn't afford internet, i just never had a connection and had to get my downloads from the library. Inconvenient like planning 2 weeks in advance for what kinds of meals you'll make at home rather than the option of ordering delivery every night.

A lot of people are too intimidated to consider that a lot of the tools have progressed a lot in the last few years. I think Linux in general has grown by leaps and bounds since they started having LiveCD support and since (Knoppix if i recall right). Not to mention a lot of people won't take the 1-2 hours to learn the basics or the commandline and automatically assume everything is too complicated.

yewhuat?! things aren't too complicated?!

wtf is an awk!? awk! "awk!" is the sound you make as you realize how complicated this that sits before you is!!! it is the sound of you choking on your own spittle as your nervous system overloads because trying to figure out awk had it locked at 100% on that one task!!!

not too complicated?!! have you seen vim?! that's the text editor!!! vim! don't like vim! there's another text editor! called emacs! the two major text editors are competing ethos of how to make a ridiculously complicated text editor machine!
learning bloody chinese is easier!

not complicated eh?! not complicated is it now!? wtf is a fwcutter! how the fuck am I supposed to bloody cut the damn firmware out of my hardware card with fwcutter and then pipe into something god awful confounded makefile from the blackest reaches of beyond the black gate of mordor and then build that against my kernel sources ... WHERE ARE MY BLOODY KERNEL SOURCES HOW DO I GET THEM ... my driver's library and then write my own damn script to load the library in my operating system!?! not complicated?! not complicated?!

oh I see, sir, I see. I see how it is now. ohh ho ho. ohh ho. ohh yes inded. indeed, sir. *teeth smacking and licking*

Maybe lay of the weed for a few days, think it's messing with you :P

Of note, calling the system GNU/Linux is useful to distinguish it from the kernel (which is simply called Linux) or other non-GNU systems that use the kernel (Android being the most notable example), so this terminology is sometimes very useful.

I don't smoke weed. and I haven't been around weed in a long time. but I'm like britney murphy in that I can sometimes get high without drugs very easily sometimes. so they have put the chocolates on sale now trying to clear out unsold boxes after christmas. I bought one. I ate a lot of it right away. so I puts into the duckduckgo a query about how dangerous that is and this is one of the links that came up

"My dog ate my whole box of ex lax the chocolate? | Yahoo Answers"

that's pretty bad for your dog honestly.

edit: britney murphy is passed away???

Totally this! :D

- You may be a hardcore player that need hands over on games that may not be on Linux yet?
- You may need specific professional tools that may not be available on Linux yet?

Can't hardly think in anything else...
