1 year agoI respectfully disagree. Downvotes add a way of gauging the percent of people who support/don’t support a comment. Let’s say I’m asking for advice about which product to buy. With an upvotes-only system the upvote count is biased towards the earliest comment, whereas with an up/down vote system, the ratio helps you detect comments with heavy bias or blatantly wrong facts. So an upvote/downvote system makes it easier to tell the credibility of a comment, basically allowing you to indirectly gauge the opinion of the community rather than the one person who commented.
Idk about Linux, but on Mac I can run most Windows games through Wine no problem. IIRC Linux has Proton, which is a better version of Wine that’s built into Steam so you can launch Windows games directly from your native Linux Steam client. Unless you play a lot of AAA games I’d suggest giving it a go.
