Because they acknowledge a PC is to be used for w/e purpose and fun, it has no feelings, and privacy dies as soon as you connect to the internet, and no your VPN does not save you or your permarandom FOSS garbanzo.
TL;DR: They're not autistic.

You could stream those games from GeForce Now or Amazon Luna so you don't have to run kernel-level anti-cheat on your PC. Or if you have a secondary PC that is good enough to play games on, you can also use Moonlight.

I don't know, but I'm sick of seeing normie Desktops, they always have the default pape, lightmode, chrome/opera/edge, are level 1 pirates, never heard of free software, their desktop is full of shit, they only use 1 email and 1 password for evertyhing, the list goes on and on.
I hate normalfaggots. I can't even pirate anymore on windows. I feel icky, if my game doesn't run in a proton prefix.

The same way people are okay with installing ``free open source software'' without auditing it. They enjoy blissful ignorance provided by others who either monitor or audit the code. Trust is given irregardless of whether the code is libre & open or not. Kinda like science & religion.

The same way people are ok with Redhat being balls deep in kernel and init (90% of slopdistros)

good question, given the fact that most proprietary slop is botnet. i think it is because:
>1. they need it
usually, prop slop is industry standard and all of their friends are there or
>2. they dont know any better
since it satisfy their needs theres no need to explore, why'd they? for
>3. they dont care
about freedom, their information, security, safety. they just trust "da gaymings".

and that's wrong because......?
how does essentially a Linux consulting company (that happens to be owned by IBM but nothing inherently damning about that) contributing a lot of open-source code upstream even begin to compare with mystery niggerware you know nothing about being forced into your kernel when you install a videogame?
