Just switched Zorin for Win11 on my kids computer (yes, it did hurt and still does 😭). His friends play Fortnite and he felt left out. Windows is the only option if he want to play?

Btw downloaded newest Microslop Windows 11, but still during installation there was a gust from the past; I had to use my other computer to download the wifi card driver, which I had to “select from disk” when installing 😂 in 2026!! (tplink ex3000). Worked flawless on Linux.

    If you don’t have to deal with kids it’s hard to explain how dominant Fortnite is. The problem with Fortnite here is that it’s essentially crack for kids, and when I hear people saying “they should make Fortnite work in Linux” I hear “drug dealers should sell their goods in nice places”. It’s not in the pusher’s interest to make their pay-per-hit product usable in any way that empowers the addict.

        To be honest, my view of Fortnite is kids buying expensive skins. In Roblox, I’ve seen people creating games and kids are less pushed towards spending money.

        I’ve seen my son waste a lot of his allowance in Fortnite and almost none in Roblox.

        But, to be honest, while I’ve watched him play, I never played myself…
