So you cant switch to Linux because you rely on a microsoft peoduct? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 7 points 3 years ago I admire how Microsoft keeps repeating the same mistakes over and over again. At some point a decade and a half ago everyone was laughing at them for having IE, then already understood as a buggy and insecure piece of crap, running in the windows kernel space, with them explaining (in some lengthy Ars Technica piece) that it was depended upon from everywhere, and that the windows kernel internals were practically a tangled hell. I suppose they finally got out of their way to remove IE, just in time to establish blink in its place. The king is dead, long live the king, I guess. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mercury@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Yeah, actually. I play a ton of simulation games, stuff like DCS straight up doesn't work.
