   Windows 10/11/12 is like Twitter.
   
   You'll bitch about it.
   You'll moan about it.
   You'll complain about the CEOs, the politics of the company, or features.
   You'll complain about rate limits.
   You'll complain about how it's going down the tubes and how everything will kill it.
   You'll brag about that guy you got to use Linux/fedi/bsky.
   
   But most importantly, you'll be back on it when you use the alternative.

     @arcanicanis Honestly given that real video games without anticheat work in Proton, I think I'm not missing much without VRC.

     Either way, it is helpful that Valve managed to work things out for EAC and BattlEye to make a lot more of the 'popular normie titles' playable on Linux, even plenty of recent titles. Although I don't know if Epic's acquisition of EAC is going gradually to turn the situation to crap again.
     
     Nonetheless, anticheat systems have grown to practically being malware for the over-invasive degree that most of them operate. There's already been vulnerabilities with an anticheat system barely years ago, and yet normies are totally fine with all of this:

     The kernel it self is malware, you win nothing with windoze installed.

     I would've taken the proper precautions by installing a stripped-down version of Windows Enterprise with group policies to restrict telemetry collection ofc.
     
     Besides, you've still got Linux on Windows through WLS2 so I could probably run NixOS beneath that without any trouble and have my cake and eat it.

     So, because you installed VRC on non-Flatpak Steam and had trouble, that inherently nearly every game on Linux is a clockwork to install? Very literally every game I've bought in the past 2-3 years is a "click Install on Steam, and it Just Works" experience. The only hiccup I've had is some issue with Super Animal Royale which just entailed using a newer Proton version.
     Maybe ask for help, rather than fuming in silence, and then doing the typical tech-boomer blow-up when you reach your breaking point.

     @binkle @PurpCat Good thing about rpgmaker(5?) is that if it's not compiled you can take the www folder, drop it onto a native build, and it'll run smoothly. I have no idea where to find this build, so here's a zip. Just extract wherever, put www in that dir, and run nw.
