minus-squarezewm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 年前Another big component that makes it hard to switch for some is also the fact that many programs and web apps won’t work on Linux. As an example , if you use peacock on your browser to watch things like wrestling PLEs, peacock(and other services) straight up block Linux users. It’s annoying when the product will work but it’s being gatekept by these greedy fucking companies.

minus-squarezewm@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 年前I have no idea how they do it. I did try some addons to change my user agent but that doesn’t work. At least it with peacock.
