They’re exploiting Windows driver signing using a certificate loophole and some OS hooks to trick the date verification.

    Hopefully Microsoft will do something about it soon. In the meantime, like someone else said, don’t install shady drivers.

      It’s not just games, arsehole. Anyone who needs a standardised film workflow probably uses Adobe, Autodesk and miscellaneous software that is Windows only or maybe supports Mac (usually not well).

      Yes, a handful of these work on Linux, in theory, but have you ever tried installing Maya on fucking RHEL? I’m pretty sure I shortened my fucking lifespan by ten years trying to make it work.

      Linux is cool, so is macOS, and so is BSD, but painting all Windows users as inherently being inferior to people using the software you use is a surefire way to make sure they never consider the other side out of fear of becoming one of the obnoxious Linux fanboys they’ve seen and rightly assumed to be a total moron.

      TL;DR, yes Windows has many issues, but it’s a tool to be used when needed. Quit being a dickhead.

          pushes glasses up nose slightly - What you’re referring to as Linux is actually GNU+….

      Nah, nearly every game runs almost flawlessly on a Proton layer these days. People with jobs use Windows.

      Let me tell you why Windows is superior to Linux:

      Hang on, gotta reboot for updates.

        Thankfully, Linux is now just yet another process inside Windows, so you can reboot your Linux for updates while still using your browser to reply on Lemmy.
