Those all sound shitty - granted, I'm pretty sure I don't have Copilot on my system, but maybe it didn't ask me during the upgrade? Either way - my original point still stands: all of these seem just as bad as Win10 (to me, a person who barely used either).

Don't get me wrong, I'm really glad people are joining us on the Linux bandwagon, it just seems like the reasons for making the switch are almost arbitrary. Another way of putting it would be: "This is what finally pushed you over? 'Copilot'?"

Anyway, regardless, I'm happy that people are making better choices - regardless of the reasons for doing so!

Been a Linux user for ages, I do have Windows 11 installed on another partition but I rarely - if ever - boot into it.

I mention the above spiel because I don't understand what additional points people have against windows 11? It seems very similar to windows 10 for me - what're the reasons for people hating it?

Genuinely not trying to be obtuse, here - I'm just wondering what the primary pain points are of win 11?

Is it the requirement for using a Microsoft account to log in vs. a normal local account? Or the one drive stuff? (upon install it did move most of my personal folders into a weird OneDrive directory, and I had to use the registry to wipe out OneDrive and move them back. Very annoying.)

Runs fine on Linux. Beta had an issue where you'd have to run with super resolution set to "Native AA" or you would get a black screen.

That's been fixed for the launch (at least fixed in the benchmark).

Don't recall any other large issues.

Assuming they can actually deliver on those statements (I think this'll be the third time they said they've fixed concertina clipping through walls/ceilings) this update is set to be a great one.

A QoL patch is exactly what we need.

I'm up voting you simply because I think it's brave to say that on Lemmy 😅

I can't believe I bought a windows license in July, back when I built my new PC - was planning to use Windows for games exclusively and Linux for everything else.

Haven't booted into Windows since at least November, it's a great feeling. Every game I play (including new releases) runs fine on Linux.

What a time to be alive!

(note: the only game I can't play is Valorant, but that's the same on Windows, too, as it requires secure boot)

You don't have to be "pretty sure", you can just read their law enforcement policies here.

They're not, nor have they ever been, a group of folk trying to hide from governments/LE: they're a legal company headquartered in the UK, and are bound by its laws.

Having said that, they're also historically against the UK Government's attempts at instilling things like encryption backdoors.

If you're still paranoid, host your own server; you can still use Element (the client hosted at Element.io) to access it.

I highly recommend trying to get the good/true ending: bring each boss to the point of being able to kill them, then spare them until their health regenerates (don't use the finisher), then fight them again until they're in the same position - the second time around you'll get an additional button prompt, beyond just "finish them", to "spare them".

Do it for each boss and you'll unlock the true ending. Probably one of the best moments I've ever had in a video game.

If you've finished the game with age 20 it shouldn't be much harder!

Sifu is Absolver if all the disparate combat trees and styles were boiled down into one.

It's a simplification and optimization of Absolver's formula, and (in my opinion) it's perfect.

Where Absolver was too open and didn't have a direction for most players, Sifu does.

Where Absolver required you to grind for hours to unlock new abilities, Sifu grants them from a tree using points gained from playing the game (no need to block specific abilities, which prevents the fake fights with you just blocking and dodging, hoping to gain the right type of xp from the right mob spawn).

Absolver also has a great story (even though its telling is very subtle), and reaching that final hidden ending feels incredible.

Absolver walked so Sifu can run, and it's so wonderful to see the fruits of Sloclap refining their already amazing formula.

Probably one of the best games I've ever played, absolutely worth $0.

Basically the only title I've replayed over and over again to get the special "good" ending.

A good bonus is that if you play, and get good at, this game - you can then move on to other, parry-based titles (like Sekiro) and they'll feel like a walk in the park.

The game is easy to start, but besting it at all will require you to replay some levels.

Your client might be showing you the thumbnail; the image's resolution is fine, here.

I live in New York, so that's probably why. Shame :( enjoy the covid protection!
