Yes. If you say you’re compatible with Windows software and games, my expectation as a user is that everything “just works”.

- thoroughburro 1y agoYou changed the phrase from “runs Windows software and games” to “compatible with Windows software and games”. I’m talking about the former phrase. The latter does imply more, but I didn’t say it; you did.
- sshine 1y agoYou're arguing about average assumptions. Your biases are leaning in different directions. Running Windows software on Linux requires a bit of domain knowledge; e.g. Wine, Lutris, Proton. E.g. which software actually works really well, which software works with tweaks, and which software largely works but you need to avoid certain features. The fact that you need to install special software, and it isn't some core OS compatibility layer like 32-bit support makes it lean towards "runs Windows software and games" being a little ambitious. It's not a perfect user story, that's all.
- homebrewer 1y agoBy your definition, Windows is not compatible with Windows.
- echoangle 1y agoYes, some windows versions aren’t compatible with other windows versions. That’s not a contradiction.
