The “quit having fun” meme is ironically becoming as cringey as the thing it is originally complaining about.

You will help the community more by telling non-Linux people why Linux gaming is better, and this meme is doing the exact opposite of it – “oh Linux can’t play some games, yada yada. But we are still better! Switch over!” – like what’s the logic of it?

What’s the purpose of this meme other than circlejerking?

Disclamer: I am a Linux user myself, started with Debian and is now using Arch Linux.

I will share some advantages I experienced in Linux gaming:

  1. Alt-tabbing old fullscreened games won’t mess with my monitor.

  2. The compatibility of Wine when it comes to some older games is wild. SimCity 4 actually crashed less when I played it on Linux.

  3. Better performance across the board. Granted it’s just a mere 5% difference but I will take it, why not.

Linux’s main selling point has become “It’s not Windows”. That was a boring line five years ago, but Microsoft has eagerly been trying to invent new ways to make their flagship OS worse and worse.

I have absolutely no problem gaming on Linux. I do have a problem with Rusty’s Retirement not letting me use my desktop while the game runs though. Nothing I can do about that one.

This meme is a cringe within cringe. The original situation is unbearable and the meme itself too. Quit laughing.
