richlind33: I have yet to run into a linux user that can't be arsed to do an internet search for a solution for a common OS issue.
zeogold: He literally said that he doesn't want to tinker with it, though. His argument is that convenience is a selling point (which it obviously is, given how much GOG is banking on Galaxy) and that he wants games to work better on Windows 10 without needing to jump through hoops. That's a valid concern. Again, what you're saying sounds no better than going "if it doesn't work for Linux, don't bother asking for compatibility, just solve it yourself".
FU2, bub.

zeogold: I don't get it. Why has OP been downvoted for asking for Windows 10 compatibility? Am I missing something here?
timppu: While I didn't downvote him, I could see some getting annoyed of him starting several threads on the same subject (borderline spamming), and being stubborn by not reading what others are writing to him. For instance, he keeps suggesting GOG isn't trying to make more games Windows 10 compatible, as if it is only about GOG staff being too lazy to do it. Gee, what if there are real technical obstacles to make many existing games work in Windows 10, especially so that it works for the majority of people and not only some?
He would have a point if GOG was still adding "new" games to GOG.com that are not supported on Windows 10, but I don't think that is the case. When was the last time you saw GOG adding a game which is not supported in Windows 10?
Also, many people don't agree with his suggestion that only 25-33% of GOG games work reliably in Windows 10. Others seem to have much better success, so it may be he has some configuration problem (like not having enabled DirectPlay in the Legacy options), but since he is so stubborn to read other people's suggestions...

See, here's the thing. You seem intelligent enough to be able to have a proper discussion. You start with an argument about Linux, and once I post something that doesn't fit said argument, you use a logical fallacy to continue arguing about your point. An intelligent person wouldn't be doing that for a serious argument, so the only thing I can deduce is that you do it for comedic purposes, so I can forget any chances of a proper discussion.

You seem intelligent enough to be able to have a proper discussion, but then you claim "logical fallacy" in spite of the fact that linux is a poor choice for peeps that don't know what they're getting into, which leaves me wondering just how intelligent you really are? What next, people that get fruitcakes for X-mas are fruitcake lovers? o.O

No True Scotsman is the logical fallacy I meant. You know, the one you said you'd use to continue supporting your argument. And someone who uses a machine running Linux is a Linux user, isn't it? Or is a Windows user only those that installed Windows on their own machine anddid the legwork themselves?
Unless of course your post is you still trying to be a comedian.

Three days in I have had no problems with Win10 so far. I'm sure of all my games, there are a few that won't run but I'll be damned if I've found any of them yet.
The interface takes a little getting used to and there are things that I miss about 7, but I don't buy some peoples' opinion (some, not all) that 10 is somehow the be all end of of evil programs. :P Change, good or bad, is a bitch, and this is nowhere near as bad as when Window first came out and I had to try to figure out how to work on something other than a dos prompt.
Shit, people used to complain when power steering was introduced, now we can't live without it! :P Give it time.

JMich: Which ones? I'm sure there were a few when I switched as well, but I either found out how to enable them or I forgot I was missing them.
it's just little wonky things, like the recycle bin. In Win7 you opened it and were given the option to Empty, with 10 you need to open it and then open 'Manage', and then empty. It's an incredibly small silly thing to complain about but there are a lot of little things like that and I'm kind of curious why they made those little changes. Also, personalizing your desktop seems a little more complicated. Changing the wallpaper was easy enough but 7 had a really nice step by step on changing everything. It gave you a pic of window and you were able to click on any of part of that pic and it gave you the options to change the color/font/size of whatever you clicked on, be it the active window, the inactive window, the back ground, the primary text etc etc etc.

The explorer ribbon is hidden by default, but you can click the down arrow on the top right, to the left of the ? button to have it permanently open. But considering most of the tasks there are stuff you don't use often (with the exception of the empty recycle bin), having it always open mostly takes up space. tinyE: Also, personalizing your desktop seems a little more complicated.

Yeah, I'm not sure where those options have gone to, since I was quite happy to let it pick an accent color based on my background. I assume it should be hiding somewhere in themes, but a quick look didn't show anything.tiny E

Indeed. If you use a specific OS, you are that OS user. Doesn't matter if you installed it yourself, if someone else installed it for you or if you got your computer with that OS installed, you are said OS user. So saying that because they didn't install Linux themselves, they are not Linux users is either dishonest or a logical fallacy which shouldn't be something an intelligent person does during an argument.
And in what group would you put yourself then? In the "I know more than the typical windows user" or in the "I know less than the typical windows user"?
richlind33: but bear in mind that you referenced a very particular subset of linux users, few -- if any -- of which would fall into the category of "satisfied users that intend to keep using it".
You mean the "parent/sibling/child/friend who had someone install Linux for them to use" subset? Why would they not be satisfied with their OS and not intend to keep using it? How many Windows users do you know that intend to change their OS because they cannot google and solve basic OS problems? And in what group would you put yourself then? In the "I know more than the typical windows user" or in the "I know less than the typical windows user"?

I said no such thing, so perhaps you should take a look at your own honesty and intelligence. The crux for me is whether or not someone has *chosen* to use the OS, not whether or not they installed it themself. richlind33: but bear in mind that you referenced a very particular subset of linux users, few -- if any -- of which would fall into the category of "satisfied users that intend to keep using it".

How many Windows users do you know that intend to change their OS because they cannot google and solve basic OS problems? And I see you've deliberately misquoted yourself, which is another indication that you should take a look at your own honesty and intelligence before casting aspersions on anyone else's. What you actually said was, "I got my parent/sibling/child/friend a computer with Linux...", not "parent/sibling/child/friend who had someone install Linux for them to use".
No need to confirm that your nose is out of joint, m8. o.O

True, you said pick the OS, not install the OS. Apologies. richlind33: The crux for me is whether or not someone has *chosen* to use the OS, not whether or not they installed it themself.
Does using the OS their computer came with mean they chose to use that OS or not? Possible. What was the misquote?
Pre-post edit: Ah, saw it a bit lower. Thank you. Wasn't done deliberately.
richlind33: which is another indication that you should take a look at your own honesty and intelligence before casting aspersions on anyone else's.
I don't claim to be an intelligent person. I do try to be honest, and will apologize when I say something incorrect, as well as thank the one who corrected me. And I do also assume the others to be intelligent. richlind33: What you actually said was, "I got my parent/sibling/child/friend a computer with Linux...", not "parent/sibling/child/friend who had someone install Linux for them to use".
So Linux got on that computer on its own? I am not a smart man, so I do have trouble following this train of thought. I honestly have no idea what you mean by this. Nor can I find a possible explanation, unless you think I'm angry or upset, which I'm not. I'm actually enjoying myself quite a bit.
