i tried to pirate games and software on it it was hard to get anything to run.

i think that would make linux not so popular in regions where people depend on piracy.

i want hear your opinions about my point

    I used to pirate all the things I can (movies, games, etc), but I reach a point in my life where I prefer to buy something if I believe its creators deserve it, if not, I don’t even bother pirating it. For example, basically thanks to Valve and Steam, gaming on Linux is a thing, so I buy there, but Epic Games who shamelessly block Linux as a platform can eat shit, and I would never even pirate a game like Alan Wake II because is exclusive of that platform and if I play it and like it, even though I don’t buy it, maybe someone else can get convinced by me that the the game is good and buy it, so no.

      Then you probably meant “former” not “formal”.

      “formal” means something like wearing a suit and signing a contract.
