Why can't Linux be the next Windows?

>other people aren't volunteering their free-time to make the software I want
>this is obviously because they have a moral defect, the problem couldn't possibly be that I don't create or pay for the software that I want!
If you killed yourself, after a brief period of mourning even your family would forget about you.

Yes, with compatibility mode on the exe

>"imagine this fantasy scenario..."
wow, compelling argument.

A 12 year old would think that "hacking" could only mean breaking into computers.

No, people who want a computer that works like Windows should use Windows. If you don't want a system that works like Linux, then either don't use Linux or change it yourself or pay somebody to change it for you.

You know, instead of demanding all linux programmers change their conventions and/or professions to conform to The Windows Way™.

Thanks for summarizing why FOSS is trash.

I mustn't do anything of the sort. I don't give a shit about your games and won't be doing any advocating for you. If you want a lobbyist, hire one. I'm not doing it for you for free.

Because nvidia is pure shit. They require signed firmware blobs to be loaded onto GPUs in order to unlock all the card's features, especially the thermal and overclocking stuff, and they don't make that firmware available to free software drivers. So we're stuck with their pure garbage out-of-tree drivers that barely support anything and cause ridiculous amounts of problems.

After Valve's done porting directX it should spend more money on nouveau and on "convincing" nvidia to cede hardware documentation and proper redistributable firmware releases so that we can all move on and put this nvidia garbage driver situation in the past. Microsoft will eat their lunch otherwise.

If you don't like it, don't use it. If you want something for free and nobody else is giving it away for free, then make it yourself. That's the way the world works in every walk of life. Your sense of entitlement is out of control.
