Buy an OEM key next time, I've never spent more than 20 bucks for Pro.
Or, you know, don't use Windows
Yeah, I mostly use Linux. Unfortunately, certain games only run on Windows and you're stuck using it if you want to play those titles.
Ah, anti-cheat problems? Feels like those are nearly the only ones that won't play nice with Proton nowadays
Some work surprisingly well. Elden ring for example. The funny thing is when I close Elden ring in windows, the anti cheat splash page stays and I need to close it from task manager. In Linux it just closes by itself as it should.
Isn't Elden Ring single player? Why would that need anti-cheat?
There's PVP and CO-OP too.
There are so many good games out there, I can simply skip the ones that don't run on Linux.
Pretty much only ones that use an invasive, kernel-level anticheat. I don't want that on my system regardless.

There are viable alternatives to GitHub already, especially if you need to host your own code.
Gitlab comes to mind.
Microsoft have actually been decent stewards of GitHub
Ah. That's the "embrace" phase.
Luckily for us their are viable alternates out there already. If GitHub disappeared we’d have alternates.
Git itself is not owned by Microsoft.
Microsoft is a services company anymore.
You pirating their desktop operating system as an end user is something they don’t care a lot about if we’re being honest.
Inevitable, idk. Maybe. Maybe not. I don’t trust them but they’ve acted in good faith so far as it pertains to GitHub.
If they enshittify they have competitors.
Sure. You’re right. It could get worse at any time. Great talk.
To answer your question as to why I’d argue, I didn’t realize you were having an argument.
Thanks
Haha, I didn't see your comment until now, but I already knew about that and shared the link with another user.
