I just got this popup while playing New vegas. I don’t even use chrome, i’ve switched to firefox. How can this be allowed? Also, this is Win10

    Sure. I’d rather deal with Linux’s quirks and be spared the spam, spyware, nagware, etc. Also, the operating system itself is a joy to use. It’s so lean and configurable, unlike Windows. Whenever I have to use Windows, it’s so clunky I feel like a caveman.

      Seriously, Linux has a learning curve but the overall design is a thousand times cleaner than modern Windows, you can actually fix shit when it breaks instead of just reinstalling Windows once a year.

        curious… as someone who primarily browses the web, and works with apps like adobe creative suite, office 365, and zoom… could i still use linux comfortably?

        im willing to pick up on new ways do things and i wouldn’t even mind if i had the ability to switch back/forth between OS’s using the same computer (is that possible?)

          Adobe is the killer on your list. There’s no proper alternative. There are alternatives, but they’re fiddly and quality varies between different programs greatly.

          75% of the issue would be solved if somehow the Linux community could convince the Affinity team that we’d all buy a Linux version of their software. Then you’d actually get the holy trinity of “illustrator, photoshop, indesign” alternative with great integration between the three.

          But since Linux community is rabid about open source and nothing else, it’s not very likely to be happening. So we’ll be living under the rock until Adobe does Linux versions of their software (never). The only reasons why I have windows boot is music production, affinity, and some games.

      I use Linux on my workstation every day and I’m very familiar with it. I still very much prefer Windows for my main PC.
