"Better than Linux and Mac. Like you can't game on anything except Windows"
OH HO HO WE GOT A MICROFANBOY OVER HERE
OH YOU KNOW KID, SOMEONE OF US ACTUALLY MAKE SOME DAMN SOLID LINUX EXCLUSIVE GAMES BECAUSE WINDOWS IS A GOD DAMN HORRIBLE PLATFORM WITH DIRECTX BEING AN AWFUL API AND VULKAN BEING LIGHT YEARS BETTER
WINDOWS HAS ALL THE DAMNED LICENSING RESTRICTIONS AND THE OPERATING SYSTEM IS JUST GOD AWFUL WITH TERRIBLE DRIVER SUPPORT FROM COMPANIES LIKE AMD AND INTEL, YOU NEED BILLY G'S PERMISSION TO MAKE A GAME USING DIRECTX, AND THEY INSIST ON __NOT BEING A UNIX__.
OH, THEY WANT THEIR DAMNED WIN32 GUIS AND THEIR WINMAIN()S AND THEIR HPREVINSTANCES AND ALL THIS WINDOWS CRAP, AND NOT SOME NICE SIMPLE AND EASY XCB BINDINGS FOR WORKING WITH AN X SERVER, OH NO, MICROSOFT HAS TO BE THE __SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE__ THAT WON'T OPEN SOURCE THEIR OPERATING SYSTEM AND WON'T MAKE THEIR DAMN GUI SYSTEM HALF DECENT.
PLUS, WINDOWS' NATIVE FILE SYSTEM IS BY FAR, THE MOST INEFFICIENT, UNRELIABLE, AND OVERALL CRAP FILE SYSTEM ONE COULD POSSIBLY COME UP WITH. THE REASON WHY NTFS WASN'T SUPPORTED ON LINUX FOR SO LONG WASN'T BECAUSE THE KERNEL MAINTAINERS/DEVELOPERS CAN'T DO IT, NO, IT'S BECAUSE NTFS IS THE WORST THING TO COME OUT OF DAVE CUTLER'S HEAD SINCE WINDOWS NT, OR LEAVING DEC IN THE FIRST PLACE.
NT IS A HORRIBLE KERNEL, LOOK AT THE MEMORY IT WASTES! GOD. WINDOWS USES A MICROKERNEL WITH SOME OTHER RANDOM CRAP IN RING 0, AND ALL OF THAT STUFF IS EXTREMELY INEFFICIENT, INSECURE, AND INSISTS ON WASTING SYSCALL TIMES BY HAVING SOME DAMNED 'VIRTUAL API' INSTEAD OF TALKING TO THE ACTUAL KERNEL. WHY DO I NEED TO WRITE SOMETHING LINKED TO NTDLL.DLL? THAT'S STUPID.
PLUS, WINDOWS HAS IT'S OWN EXECUTABLE FILE FORMAT, NO, IT HAS TO BE A SPEEECCCIIAAALLL SNOOOWWWFFFLLAAAKKEEE AND NOT JUST USE ELF LIKE EVEERRRYYBBOODDDYYY EEELLLSSSEEEE SO MICROSOFT CAN GO AND FORCE COMPILER DEVELOPERS TO SUPPORT ONE OR THE OTHER OR WASTE RESOURCES DOING BOTH.
GOD. I WANT TO GRAB A SLEDGEHAMMER AND SLAM IT INTO SOMETHING EVERY TIME I READ 'CREATEPROCESS' OR 'WINMAIN'.
AND MICROSOFT HAS ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE DOCUMENTATION FROM ANY OF IT'S INTERNAL APIS. HOW THE HELL AM I SUPPOSED TO GET CLOSER TO THE KERNEL? ABSOLUTELY STUPID.
WINDOWS' SECURITY IS BY FAR THE WORST POSSIBLE IMPLEMENTATION YOU CAN COME UP WITH. I'D LIKE TO ARGUE THAT MS-DOS IS MORE SECURE THAN WINDOWS NT. YES, YOU READ THAT CORRECTLY.
LINUX HAS, USING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S WORD, _YUGE_, PERFORMANCE GAINS OVER WINDOWS. LINUX DOESN'T NEED SOME DAMN VIRTUAL API OR SOME DAMNED DIRECTX THIS AND DIRECTX THAT AND ALL THIS FANCY GUI STUFF THAT BOGS DOWN THE SYSTEM AND WASTES PRECIOUS MEMORY SPACE.
WINDOWS WASTES AAAAALLLL THIS PROCESSING POWER TO SOME DAMNED FANCY SHINY UI THAT NO ONE LIKES. NOT EVEN MICROSOFT EMPLOYEES LIKE THE METRO DESIGN LANGUAGE. IT'S AWFUL. A TABLET-BASED UI DOES NOT BELONG ON THE DESKTOP. ABSOLUTELY STUPID. WHAT WERE THEY THINKING WHEN THEY REMOVED THE START BUTTON? WELL GUESS WHAT, GNOME/UNITY/KDE/CINNAMON/ETC WILL NEVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM, BECAUSE YOU CAN JUST TAKE THE USER INTERFACE AND FIX IT YOURSELF.
WINDOWS WON'T LET YOU DO THAT
AND INSISTS ON WASTING GRAPHICS POWER FOR SOME STUPID DAMN WINDOW SYSTEM NO ONE LIKES
LINUX IS MUCH FASTER THAN WINDOWS. EXT4 IS LIGHT YEARS BETTER THAN NTFS. EXT4 LETS YOU LOAD THINGS LIKE LEVELS IN YOUR GAME MUCH FASTER, OFTEN TIMES 5 - 10X FASTER THAN YOU CAN ON WINDOWS. NTFS IS ABSOLUTELY GARBAGE AND ALL OF MICROSOFT'S DEVELOPERS WHO WORKED ON IT DO INDEED NEED TO BE YELLED AT. VERY. VERY. LOUDLY.
THE MAC IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE FOR A GAMING PLATFORM. IT'S A BLACK SHEEP UNIX CLONE THAT NO ONE LIKES AND APPLE WON'T COMPLETELY OPEN-SOURCE. NEED I GO ON?
IT IS LITERALLY JUST FREEBSD WITH APPLE'S AWFUL EXTENSIONS.
WINDOWS HAS ALL THESE PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS, SECURITY ISSUES, AND THE WHOLE OS AS A WHOLE IS JUST DESIGNED BY IDIOTS. GOD.
ABSOLUTE TOTAL FAILURE. |
