I used Debian, there is a version for the Surface if you do some searching, after install you need to update the kernel for everything to work as it should. But it’s not that complicated, I just followed the guide that accompanied the update.

As for the touch and pen. Both works fine for me. I did find a whiteboard software that recognized both sides as pen and eraser. Though I’ve been planning on trying to install one note and test that on the linux version. Just haven’t gotten around to it.

I put Linux on my Microsoft Surface Pro 4. Best decision I ever made with it.

let’s make sure we keep them to that standard then.

Can you easily farm SC in the game? Yes.

Just because others have it worse, doesn’t mean you should settle for slightly better than terrible.

I read your comment. I didn’t downvote.

I’m using the “you” in the colloquial sense, i see that wasn’t apparent to you. (You as in you the singular individual)

I understand you are against kernel level anti cheat. That’s ok. That’s an opinion. But your argument that it’s some kind of secret which games have it or not, is not a matter of opinion. It’s verifiable. And It’s just not true. It’s not a secret. You can easily find out if you want to.

You can make the argument that platforms should make publishers divulge that information on the games page. And I say sure, why not.

But it always will be your responsibility to make sure you know what you’re installing.

Unfortunately. It is an armsrace against cheaters. And 1 single cheater can easily ruin the entire experience for hundreds of players. I understand why games might want it. I hope they can find more clever ways of detecting cheats without it.

As a final word. Lemmy is a big place. It’s utterly ridiculous of you to assume I’m the one who downvoted.

People need to take responsibility of their own machines.

While they might not hold out a sign that says “KERNEL LEVEL ANTI CHEAT”. There is information available to make an informed decision.

Your cake and fork argument makes no sense at all. The game company isn’t telling you what you can and can’t do with your hardware. But they are telling you what you will be installing. It’s there if you know where to look. And if you don’t know where to look. You have the combined knowledge of the world at your fingertips for guidance.

I don’t know what you do. But when I buy a cake. I look at the ingredients to see what and how much it contains of various things. If I don’t like what I see, I won’t be buying it. Because I certainly won’t be eating it.

And I’m also not going to buy a plastic fork to eat it with. See how I made that decision. The cake company didn’t make me buy a certain fork, and the fork company didn’t make me buy a certain cake. I decide.

It’s ultimately your responsibility to understand what you are installing. Information is available.

No one is forcing you to install their game.

It’s so easy to look up what kind of anti cheat games use.

You can’t eat the cake and have it too.

They don’t have a right to install anything without your consent. However. You pressed the “Install” button. And you boxed in “I understand” and clicked “I agree”.

Funny enough. Sweden already went through that problem. We call it “Age of Greatness”. (Stormaktstiden)

Basically. Sweden got too big too fast, couldn’t maintain an army large enough to secure everything. If i remember correctly, we couldn’t produce enough food, and we lost a bunch of territory.

Not legal in Sweden. Our “IRS” must also accept the name and deem it legal.

I for one like this. As it stops some very stupid people to name their children some very stupid names. Such as “Adolf Hitler”.

And yes. Someone did try to name their child this and they were appropriately stoped from doing it.

Debian is the best defense of the incident and I couldn’t find the exact opposite way to them by now I am little bit of a political symbol that I am little more about business and I don’t want you

Gonna have to bust out the good old carbon dating kit for this meme

Which distros? Just saying Linux is kind of pointless. Linux is the kernel.

Some distros come with more pre-installed features and functions, some come with less.

Some are more average user-friendly than others.

I put Debian on my laptop and have not had any problems accessing external drives or plugging in multiple monitors.

I just want an AI that actually plays the game and have to build things for real instead of cheating in everything.

Because EU has a track record of putting stop to shitty practices by major corporations.

Would not surprise me if they leave EU out of this just to prevent a potential conflict.

Is this happening to any user in the EU?

It’s just not the same to review code that runs a slot machine.

And code that runs a whole car.

One of the two is a whole lot more complex and probably had millions of lines more than the other.

I’ll let you guys which is which

No. It doesn’t. Exactly. So why are you suggesting source code reviews?

“source code inspection.”

Great idea. That way it can be put on pause indefinatly because that shit takes years.

On top of it. You can NEVER be certain anyway because there’s code burnt into the chips that you cannot read.

And I’m sure you always keep it with you as well. Really, good for you. Amazing. So many people. And I happened to just comment to the one person who keeps a dumb-phone on them. What are the odds
