Hey PieFed user, posting a 5-minute meme video where the guy struggles to make a custom virus do something through Proton isn’t the own you think it is. It literally corroborates my point. Windows viruses and malware will not work through Proton.

You don’t actually believe this, right?

Holy fuck I wish I had read this comment first. You are actually an idiot of the highest order.

Lmao. Buddy if you want to use a phone as a computer, no worries. But fuck all the way off with the idea that using a PC is difficult or less efficient than a phone. Get a grip on reality.

“Babysitting a PC” you sound like you’re tech illiterate.

Killing Nazis is a Soviet thing. In the US, we hire them for important government jobs and fold them into our culture.

This is it. The most boomer-ass comment of 2026 so far.

Take this moment in, folks.

Who the fuck is dual booting for Office? You just made that up.

Gross ai shill

AI “engineer” shill says what?

You asked if they can run. The answer is yes.

You’re the one shifting to “may they run, p-pleaze”.

I admit defeat.

I can run any software designed for Linux or Windows. Period.

If a package doesn’t function, it’s because the developers arbitrarily decided to disable it for capitalist reasons. Not because it won’t work.

So the answer to “can Linux run X game made for Windows” is always yes. Always.

Yes.

I can run adobe software in Linux.

I cannot relate in any way. I would tell these people to figure it out themselves and that they’re ignorant and ungrateful. You’re also a very nice person for putting up with that.

How is continuing to use their product (thus being farmed for telemetry and other revenues) defiant in any way?

The reality is you and others are afraid of change. There is no windows-only program I can’t run. Your defiance is futile and you’re the only one suffering, not Microsoft.

Chauvinism is the term you’re seeking. And we all in the West suffer some degree of it.

I’m not “trying to be nice to minority languages”, I’m directly pushing back against the chauvinistic idea that the English Wikipedia is so important that those without it are somehow inferior. There is no “doom spiral”.

As for scientific papers, it’s called a translation. One can write academic literature in one’s native langaue and have it translated for more reach. That isnt the case with Wikipedia which is constantly being edited.

It’s profoundly chauvinistic to think that people who speak other languages don’t have the same depth of literary resource as English-speakers because Wikipedia has fewer users.

Books. They’re called books. Every nation speaking every language has them.

Braindead.
