Weird, I use linux because it makes my life significantly more simple. I also give it to the elderly for that reason
You’re right, that IS weird…
Simplest thing for me is not having to learn something new just so I can play trackmania AND be accepted here. I can play trackmania on windows just fine and I didn’t need to learn to set up an OS and work out what distros and the various other tech sounding things I don’t understand are.
But being personally offended when someone doesn’t use Linux and points out a valid reason is about 80% of lemmy it seems…
Trackmania requires no more configuration than it does on windows, and if you use KDE, the interface is almost identical.
The only thing you’d have to learn is to install steam from the app store instead of from the internet, if you give it a shot, I don’t think you’ll find it to be as difficult as you imagine.
The full steps would be
install linux mint (if you have no preference that’s the easiest distro) > open app store > install steam > install trackmania from steam > hit play
Installing linux is a 15 minute process, the only hard part is getting a flash drive, and you only have to do it once, once you have that flash drive you can do it easily endlessly.
I highly recommend trying it out, linux is significantly easier to use and has significantly less maintenance burden. That’s why I give it to the elderly, they’ve all said it makes their lives significantly easier, and none of them have switched back.
Plus, even on a windows machine, the first thing you should do is reinstall the operating system when you get one, especially for second hand machines. Every single major manufacturer puts a bunch of garbage on the computer some of which is nearly impossible to remove without a reinstall, considering you already should do this anyway, it makes it a much easier pill to swallow.
