    Why do people still use that legacy proprietary malware-ridden morally obsolete operating system?

      1. It came with the machine.

      2. There are a few things that still don’t quite work as good in Linux.

      For me personally, VR is the last thing holding me back. Hopefully that changes soon though. My laptop has already been Windows-free for a while.

        let me be the one to say: the only people who “need” VR are those earning their money with selling VR products. No one else in the whole wide world actually needs VR.

          There’s a lot of stuff everyone has that they don’t need. What’s your point? Are you going to go vegan? because technically you don’t need meat. Are you going to stop driving an automatic transmission? Because you don’t need that. Oh, social media (Lemmy included), you definitely don’t need that.

          Yeah. But this person spent money on it so they want their devices to run it. I don’t get your point.

          I’m getting a gaming PC soon because I want to use VR and while I do want to primarily use Linux, I will be keeping a Windows install for it.

          A gaming PC is also not something that anyone needs, but I want to own one and I want to play VR games on it. Your point is not as good as you think.

          No one needs a computer at all. We all know that already.
