Re:Windows XP 2024 Edition is everything I want from a new OS by dijit on Sunday January 07, 2024 @01:50PM (#38903966)
I solved it by just running a console.

People look down on me for it, but the way I see it: my computing experience is not keeping me prisoner; and I value my time too much to dig about certain issues, you're guaranteed to suffer the "my FPS isn't so good I will investigate" or "this game doesn't run so I will investigate" situations.

Cheats are less common too, so there's less incentive for kernel anti-cheat, and if there was: it would be contained to my "game computer" anyway.

Yup, after I switched to a console - I was finally able to just play games with my friends and not waste mental energy on fiddling with settings.

I don’t have to worry about downloading a game launcher riddled with telemetry or wait 6 months after launch for a PC port to reach a playable state.
