The best one I’ve ever heard is they like the Microsoft wallpapers. Yes i told them you can use them on linux too. But they argued with me that they wouldn’t be compatible.

    As a gamer myself I don’t think it’s appropriate to try to deprive someone of a hobby that they genuinely enjoy. As a long-time Linux user I stick to games that work well on Linux, like Overwatch. But unfortunately games aren’t interchangeable - if League is your thing, Dota might not be an acceptable substitute.

    Better to argue for dual booting than to try to cut off a friend’s personal relationship with their game.

      There’s a difference between someone who likes poker and someone who has a gambling problem.

      The same thing exists in games. It could be a reliance on gambling or other addictive behavior, it could be the game generates online toxicity, or something else. Either way, if it’s becoming a problem it needs to be addressed.
