1 year agoThere’s many different reasons (all of them ignorant or blatantly made in bad faith) but one that I recall off the top of my head is that, since Linux gives users more freedom and more control over their operating system and computer, playing on Linux makes it easier for you to cheat in games. They like that in Windows, there’s parts of the system that Microsoft simply doesn’t allow users to touch, because in some cases, they still can, so they can use that to implement things like rootkits sorry I mean “kernel-level anti-cheat” that users have no effective way of removing or bypassing.
I second the recommendation. I know a lot of people don’t like the browser (although I find that a lot of that dislike comes somewhat misleading rumors or stories) but the search engine really doesn’t have anything to do with the browser except that it’s by the same company. I often switch between it and Duck Duck Go, and I don’t use Brave browser.
