>linux now beats windows 11 in gaming performance in nearly all titles, with the only exceptions being those that purposefully sabotage linux support like MCC, Fortnite and Destiny 2

Nah. Half of the games don't run on Linux, and not natively. That's a lie as big as a cathedral. Switching to Linux is just a waste of time, and you'll go back to Windows eventually.

This hasn't been accurate for years

>>713577791 (OP)
There hasn't been an actual Windows release in 25 years. NT is in the same boat as Linux it runs all these games in a compatibility layer.
Except that GNU/Linux actually has some native games that actually use Linux's advantages.
The only thing games utilize native to NT is Kernel level Malware.

I want to make the switch but there's too much stuff that works iffy or doesn't work at all on Linux that I need for daily use

Not to my knowledge, at least not any worse than all the problems NT has with them.

Ball is in Tim's court to remove the lock out that prevents users running GNU/Linux based OSes from playing Fortnite.
UT99 was GNU/Linux native decades ago, and Epic Megagames was one of the best studios for GNU/Linux support. Before Microsoft paid Tim off.

thats your problem. even driver devs have stopped supporting xorg. xlibre willhave similar problems unless someone will patch mesa and drivers to support it. several wayland compositors are where all the development is going. even valve agrees.

I use Linux for gaming.
Works great even on almost 20 year omd hardware.

>>713580045
>I wish this would be the actual case and we could just simply replace the DE on Windows.
You could, on Windows, or even on old versions of NT. The more time has gone on the more Microsoft has locked NT down, and the more Malware they've loaded it up with.

>>713580864
Only the mouse issue is exclusively Xorg and someone already wrote a kernel patch for that. Wayland was just a trend that they forced on us. The average user don't want Wayland tier bs that even blocks global hotkeys and forces vsync.

>>713582035
>Wayland was just a trend that they forced on us.
it wasnt forced on you. you're free to use whatever. just dont expect the rest of the ecosystem to support it. in some way it will be supported due to the 4 bsd autists out there, but you're relying on the abilities of 4 bsd autists.
>The average user don't want Wayland tier bs that even blocks global hotkeys and forces vsync.
global hotkeys are a thing on at least 2 waylad compositors and will eventually on all of them. vsync is nice and you can still allow tearing on those same 2 compositors if you feel you need it. or just buy a high refresh rate monitor and live like its 2015 or later.

>>713582374

"applications aren't exposed so eachother" is already addressed with ipc tech that predates wayland. obs has already stated they will support whatever becomes the agreed upon standard for global hotkeys. until then you have kde, hyprland, and maybe cosmic which already have solutions that work.

If you dont know how to install an OS just say so, it's okay. You can keep using your gaymer laptop however you like.

Oh yeah the potential of a 3% fps gain but your system can implode the moment you look at it wrong, doesn't support all drivers by default, doesn't have easy to use audio mixer, etc... year of the linux desktop

Will never install Linux until games are supported natively and not under a compatibility layer.

It's getting there and is really good. If youre considering the swap consider Linux on a second drive. Linux will happily crawl the windows file system meaning if you aren't lamo6drives like me you're still able to access your stuff. That and if you want something to work and dont feel like figuring it out in linux at the moment then you have windows right there.
It's a bit of a learning curve, but it's not hard. Its the same way you learned how to use windows, things work different in linux and once you get the hang of it, its a lot of fun.

Windows 11 started pissing me off because the task/search bar for windows search is freezing all the time. Doesn't matter if you rebuild the indexing, to OS image health integrity checks, I've just got freezing on their latest update after a certain time of operating. Basically everything but the search features of start menu still function. So I'm finally getting tired of Microsoft's bloated OS, very much leaning towards moving to Linux. If basic functionality like this is so broken and the only way to solve it is by restarting windows explorer every time it happens then Linux just sounds like moving onto greener pastures. They have seriously screwed things up enough just for casual users that it bothers me.

You MAY be able to just straight up install SteamOS if you use an Nvme SSD (The installer is kind of dumb and expects specifically this)
Or you can pick up arch linux with a plasma desktop and look up how to set up a headless user session running Steam in Gamescope (It looks a little scary, but it's actually not that bad, or, really necessary).
On arch you can actually just straight up use flatpaks for all your non-system software just like SteamOS if you want.

There are a lot of options to tweek and it receives regular updates and new features, which means it has the potential to break. The more idiot proof distros do not update anything into the distro unless it's been proven stable for 2 or more years already then it finally gets added in, so they never break but are also not cutting edge. Arch gets all the cutting edge stuff but sometimes it's less stable because of it, mint or ubuntu don't get any cutting edge stuff until 2 years later when it's proven stable and so are more stable in general

>>713592919
>headless user session running Steam in Gamescope (It looks a little scary, but it's actually not that bad, or, really necessary).
is this what game mode on a steam deck does?
i don't know niggers about computers but i assumed it was steam big picture with basically any OS elements not necessary to running games switched off so the maximum resources could be allocated to actually running the game and doing stuff like capping the framerate with the overlay UI or turn on FSR
is that accurate?

And still absolute silence on the issue of photoshop not working. As usual.

>>713592224
Terminal is scary at first
But if you're on SteamOS just try updating with the terminal as a first step if you want to try it

sudo pacman -Syu
sudo is superuser do, like run as admin on windows
pacman is PACkage MANager on arch
-S (uppercase) Syncs the package info
-y refreshes the repositories
-u upgrades any outdated packages

It then shows you exactly what will be upgraded, how many MB it is to download, install and the size change on disk (often shrinking)
And if youre still scared, just push N to cancel it or Y to update everything

>>713592661
EndeavorOS or CachyOS would be the most similar and still beginner friendly

LOL buddy im gonna cut you off right here. you arent welcome in our community

Just gave CachyOS and a few other distros a try for about 2-3 weeks each. I'm back on Windows. There's a lot of cool stuff about Linux, but once I realized how much time I was spending "fighting" the OS or tinkering so that I could do basic things was when I realized it wasn't worth it for me. As someone who doesn't code at all, my biggest issues were the dogshit font rendering (which apparently can never be truly fixed), software incompatibility (various games and programs like MS office or photoshop), and the constant jank I had to deal with (ex: reading the wiki and a million forum posts to figure out why the fuck chromium apps didn't maximize properly or how to automatically mount other SSDs on boot). Never again.

>>713577791 (OP)

I've done terminal shit before, it's just that I'm a visual learner and looking at lines of text trying to figure out how the fuck to do anything when I just want to drag and drop shit like a monkey is annoying and stresses me out because I feel stupid
then again some shit has been way easier on Linux

like i wanted to increase the polling rate of a controller adapter on windows, and to do it i remember having to download some random program and disable secureboot or some shit in the bios which all felt like total nigger rigging compared to Linux where you just paste some shit in the command line and boom it's polling 10x more
ironically it was more annoying on steamOS than even normal arch because valve strips out a lot of default tools it comes with that lets you like compile github packages with dev tools but you just paste more lines in the konsole to download whatever you need for that too
just have to redo it every OS update because steamOS wipes anything that was installed through like pacman or whatever I guess to keep it from getting bloated or killing itself
like the whole point is the immutable file system to make it retard proof but all you have to do to undo it is like 3 words in the konsole, thinking about doing shit like that on windows with how bloated and retarded it is gives me a headache

>>713593338
When you download a distro they have desktop options

Use Gnome

If its for gaming, CachyOS

Why do you lie, Microcuck? According to protondb.com there's 11,0000+ games on Steam that run with Proton just fine and without issues. That number is probably way higher but those are the ones that people bothered to test and verify manually.

If you have modern hardware theb what benefit does linux really offer over an unfucked windows? Stock win 11 is horrendous but there are so many tools to stop and undo a lot of its bullshit, you can block all telemetry by just editing the hosts file, theres the ltsc iot version, etc, and by the time its all setup you'll have all the positives of windows and none of the crap, so why not just put the effort in for that instead?

>ignoring the "not natively" part
Yeah they do run... using Proton which is a translation layer, can have some issues and generally trips up things like anti-cheat.
But the games are still compiled and built around windows, Linux just pretends to be a windows system so to speak.

HOWEVER that means it's still an embarrassment to MS that games running on Linux through a translation layer STILL run better on the same hardware. It means that Windows background processes use up more performance than what translating/emulating windows OS commands in real time costs.

>>713594998
>and generally trips up things like anti-cheat.
Technically speaking the anti cheat is working perfectly fine. The problem is that it's designed to throw a fit and crash your vidya if it realizes you're playing on linux, specifically.

>>713594950
You seem to manually install your drivers and not use those programs at all, why?

The Windows CPU scheduler has been known to be dogshit for almost 20 years now. There's no incentive for Microsoft to fix or improve it because people continue to use it regardless of how poorly it handles modern CPU architectures.

>>713595068
I'd press X to doubt on that one.
It's more likely that the translation process makes the RAM work a bit different to what it would if it ran on a windows system and the anti-cheat because of it throws up all sorts of major alarms.

Especially since BattlEye and Easy-Anti-Cheat did update their algorithms to take a game running on Proton into account and have since updated.

I don’t understand the retarded obsession with “running natively”. Had a discussion with a retard about this pertaining to the switch 2, he insisted that it doesn’t run switch 1 games 100% natively.

Resident Evil Village was cracked within like a week, despite utilizing Denuvo. DRM's and anti cheats don't actually prevent people from pirating or cheating and they only hurt the paying consumer. You can find RE Village on rutracker with special Wine/Proton scripts built in and all you have to do is boot it up and play.
You're delusional if you think anti cheats and DRM's hurt anyone but the paying consumer. But apparently I'm a fucking loser nigger for not wanting developers to spit in the faces of players who support them? Go figure!

>>713595246
>I'd press X to doubt on that one
You can look it up.
VM/Linux detection is an advertised feature and when Valve was potentially suggesting nobody could have that as a "feature" near immediately it was made into something that could be dummied out, which wouldn't be possible if the software wasn't intentionally doing this and this wasn't behavior that could be merely be disabled at the flip of a value.

>>713594392
Upstream Wine has all the compability features Proton does and runs non-Steam games just fine. It often needs game-specific steps for everything to work, but front ends like Lutris provide installation scripts that automate everything. My GOG library has been essentially plug and play so far.

>>713596441
Pretty much only kernel level anti-cheat as well as some older DRMs which are not patched yet. Had that issue with 2010s Aliens vs Predator. Was broken on Linux until i used a cracked eye to get rid of the DRM there. Not sure if it works nowadays - games like Duke Nukem Forever or Sleeping Dogs which also used intrusive old DRMs got patched by Valve over time to work with proton.

>>713596794
>>713596441
Also: Linux isn't magically making shit PC ports not shitty.
Games like Way of the Samurai 4 or Deadly Premonition which ran like ass on Windows if at all will also have issues on Linux if not more.
If you have to hack your way to get the game working on Windows that work doesn't magically go away the moment you use proton.

>>713597025
Sometimes it can help but it depends on what's shitty about it. Gamescope can do a lot for games that shit themselves on alt-tab or have fuck all for display options.

>>713596441
HDMI 2.1 as well. HDMI forum jews not letting linux use it to protect their coding secrets
Only an issue if youre trying to do more than 60hz in 4k

>>713597171
If the problem with the game is it using old ancient codecs and drivers - thats very easily fixed with modern proton versions who know what to install.
But fundamentally broken games like Deadly Premonition which didn't even work properly when they released on PC are still asspain.

>and you'll go back to Windows eventually
I've been using linux exclusively for the past decade, so I have to differ on that point.
I'd rather neck myself than ever have to use windows ever again, even macos is more bearable and it literally has one of the worst UX ever known to mankind.

Big problem with ProtonDB is it still taking ages to update the ranks of a game.
Kill la Kill IF was broken for many years but recent proton changes made it fully playable out of the box without issues.
Rating is still bronze only cause all those ancient old red reports pull that rating down. Should be Platinum.

>>713599297
The rankings need to be weighted so the newer ratings have more influence on the score than the old ones.

Agarest has a SILVER rating despite being flawlessly playable out of the box for over 4 years. The core problem is that people don't write reports whenever games just work. They only go to protondb if a title doesn't work.

Download ubuntu or some beginner friendly distro get a thumb drive and if you have a spare hard drive laying around, like maybe a 128gb ssd give it a try.
>Can I even play games and watch anime on it?
Yeah, Valve spends a lot of money and time getting it working good, and there's quite a few video/media players on linux you can use.

>>713602861
The only games that don't work nowadays are liveservice anticheat games like Battlefield, Fortnite, FIFA, Call of Duty or APEX cause those quite literally block Linux users from playing.
But anything else just works be it Elden Ring, Death Stranding, TEKKEN, Monster Hunter, Yakuza and so on,
Anime/movies/shows of course also work . mpv is in fact better for that than your average windows player.

>>713602139

Denuvo and equivalents work seamlessly on Linux, only issue is some retards try every single Proton version when they get a new game and it locks them out for 24h as it detects it as 5+ separate installs.
Only issue with Linux is anticheat when the devs don't want to enable Linux support, because the Linux version can't get kernel-level access so it has to be less intrusive than on Windows by design.

>>713577791 (OP)
desktop linux devs need to consolidate their efforts towards a functional DE that isn't a constant bugfest or needless reinvention of the wheel

>>713604537
Again the issue is a lot of anticheats deliberately flag players using linux.
This has been a thing since fucking Destiny 2.
It's not even about the "anti cheat" stuff

>>713591263
But especially so with Linux. The number of times I get "why would you want to do that?" in response and the number of times "this game is certified to work, I just got to the title screen, so you're lying and it works fine! Watch the cutscenes on Youtube!" is too fucking high.
I'll stick with Windows 10 LTSC, thanks.

>>713603406
Denuvo works. The problems are games with kernel level anticheat cause the Linux kernel is open and the developers obviously do not want people to see what their kernel level anticheat actually does. They will claim hackers would use that knowledge to find ways to counter the anticheat but everyone knows kernel level anticheat is just as effective as regular anticheat methods. They just don't want you to know how exactly they are spying on you with that kernel level access.

>>713605505

>>713606626
HDR technically works without gamescope if you use one of the proton forks.
Honestly it's a bit of a pain. I'm not switching until I can actually use the full refresh rate of my monitor without it breaking when adaptive sync is enabled, and unfortunately, Plasma does break there. Even the just recently released 6.4.

Of course, but there's really no reason to do that for denuvo, it works fine on linux. In general you should start with dual booting though. A lot of noobs download a live USB, get wowed by how shiny Linux is and nuke windows. Then they panic and reinstall windows when they can't figure out how to open the app centre.

I think Mint strikes the right balance of being approachable but not completely overbearing. It's a good choice if you're clueless about Linux but you want to acclimate to it and actually learn some things along the way. The old package base is the biggest problem with it, but it's pretty rare that that causes real issues in games.

>>713608216

Never happens on windows. The game will force itself to work. The worst you will get is suboptimal performance that can be fixed by updating the driver, and that's only the case if you haven't updated it for years.

Well said. The opposite is also true though. A lot of windows users are ideologically captured and see windows as a extension of their political beliefs which linux is in opposition to.

webserver linux is built for stability, performance, and uptime, has no gui, and is optimized for network throughput. it is designed to serve content and handle requests 24/7 without crashing and doea so by stripping out unnecessary components to reduce resource usage and potential points of failure. it is literally the opposite of consumer linux, retard.

>>713616831
I mean I have a degree in computer networking. I want you to explain it though. You're doing great champ! I liked the part where you said how stable linux is and how it's designed to work 24/7, but somehow playing games on it is a fools errand. You're a 60 IQ shit brained retard. Stay on your pirated malware infested Windows 10 ISO and don't involve yourself in matters that are above your pay grade.

>>713616363
>webserver linux

>>713578158
> a compatibility layer.
There is no a compatibility layer, not really. The win32 api is a thin wrapper around the NT native API. File handles returned by NT native API are passed directly to win32 and you can intermix the two APIs.

Also, the NT native api does not cover windowing, sound or graphics. The win32 apis for these go directly to kernel without passing through NT native apis. win32k.sys is the kernel component that directly supports win32. If you remove this and just rely on what the NT native api, you are left with a command line operating system.

>>713616475
>ad hominem and no argument
I accepted your concession.

>>713617606
You are conflating the idea of software stability and reliability. Stable software doesn't mean it's more reliable it means the feature updates have been frozen.
Arch is unstable but is extremely reliable, moreso than Ubuntu despite it being a point release.
With servers you want stable software due to how they're deployed and because they're capability based.
The confusion comes from the idea that stable software will be more reliable than unstable becaude there are less points of failure and it's more field tested which are valid conclusions but assume this is happening in a vacuum with all other things being equal which is not the case in the real world. For example an unstable distro will be far more reliable for new games as it'll run more of them with less breakage.

>>713618495
Servers and enterprise don't upgrade that often, I still remember seeing windows 2000 machines way back in 2007-08.

If works, it works and don't fix unless someone finds an exploit.

>>713578638

But that exactly what stable software means, because it doesn't get new features based on a spec it only get security updates, that's make it more reliable.
A feature update can change api or behavior, that's why its called unstable.

>>713619291
I do in fact not have to do any of that

>>713619119
servers get updates all the time which is why LTS exists

>>713617576
Wine also utilizes Linux kernel functionality that was written specifically for its use. So if you think this is supposed to be an exclusive advantage enjoyed by NT it is not.
NT fundamentally was designed to run everything in compatibility layers. NT still runs everything through a compatibility layer.

The only real thing that has happened over time with NT as it has rotted is that most of the compatibility layers have been discontinued by Microsoft, or fallen out of general use. The win32 compatibility layer is the only old fashioned one left. Microsoft's own Linux compatibility solution uses a different design.
Which is why Microsoft wants to discontinue their current general use win32 compatibility layer, which is what they told Valve, and why Valve has invested in Wine.

>>713619372
I have literally given you use case where stable software is less reliable.
Reliable doesn't have a strict definition in software world and depends on use case. Servers have slower update cadence than end user computers and that is true everywhere not just in Linux world. Windows 10 used to have a rolling release update cycle although 11 changed it back.

>>713619517

>>713619830
Linux gaming would be fucked if win32 is abandoned. Even if Linux somehow miraculously became mainstream and got native ports, it has no stable API like win32 and developers essentially abandon their games after a year which makes sense. Games are only software due to technical reasons, as far as people are concerned they're and one done endeavours like art and music.

>>713620190
>Linux gaming would be fucked if win32 is abandoned.
No doubt. If game developers were to abandon win32 that would be a major problem. Anything Microsoft would replace it with would almost certainly involve new software patents, and if developers were using that patented functionality it could lock games to Microsoft for years to come. Thankfully those efforts to drop win32 haven't been successful to this point. Mostly because Microsoft is increasingly indifferent to end user software but that is no reason to be complacent.
Which is why Valve has been working to turn Wine/Proton into the way to run win32 games. Their ultimate goal is likely to run Microsoft's own Embrace, Extend, Extinguish playbook Taking control of win32 at least when it comes to games.

Like how Microsoft's DOS compatibility solution technically still exists, but it is so rotted and degraded that no DOS games being re-released or new retro DOS games being written are using it. Everyone doing that is using DOSbox. Because that project is actively maintained, and is focused specifically on features games need.

Nice that it exists as server infrastructure, but it's not relevant to my gaming experience.

>>713621319
As NT has fallen out of use, even within the parts of Microsoft that still make money, there isn't as much investment going into it. Which is part of why NT keeps getting slower. There is no money in it for Microsoft to make it faster.

Linux based OSes on the other hand have almost completely taken over from other UNIX-like OSes because of the amount of development resources being invested into improving its fundamental performance. The same things that give Linux based OSes dominance in the High Performance Compute market, also bring benefits for low-power devices, and now PC Gaming.

NT at this point needs a lot more work than to just slim it back down. Fixing their problem would take time and cost them a lot of money.
To the point that actually doing that wouldn't be worth it. Microsoft themselves no longer use NT in roles where performance matters.

Microsoft, if they wanted to stay in the end user market, would be better off expanding the use of their GNU/Linux distribution. Valve has proven that a GNU/Linux distribution using a win32 compatibility layer offers similar performance, and better overall legacy compatibility (barring kernel level malware), at a fraction of the cost and development resources Microsoft currently spends in the bare minimum maintenance of NT and its legacy compatibility solution.

That's the thing, easy to install and use Linux based OSes have been a thing for nearly 30 years. The only thing that moved the needle was distributions that came pre-installed.

Some weeks ago, i found my old starcraft CD. Im still amazed at how i was able to install it on my Fedora PC though bottles, and even apply FSR on it. Having a blast with it. Sure this is an old ass game that can run on a potato, but this is not about performance, but as someone who started using linux like 15 years ago, i still remember how wine was such a piece of shit back in the day.

in nearly all of the 12 titles it can play, you mean. it still has a very long way to go.

This is the kind of autism I like to see

>>713628901
The only dependency thing I can remember breaking my shit is when I use something from AUR, which rebuilding said program can fix it.
I think it happened with rpcs3 recently.
Otherwise I keep updating my system on a daily basis and I never wait longer than a week.

>>713629281
2015 called, it wants it's flawed understanding of linux bsck

>>713629281

I will no longer fall for the Linux grift.

Games are the least of my problems, all the software I use regularly either doesn't exist or the alternatives are total trash, that's why I will never switch to Linux and I've tried many times over the years. Something always ends up pissing me off and I go back to Windows. It's a system that's completely hacked together and hanging by a thread, where bugs and broken software are a constant, where dealing with constant dependencies problems is seen as a normal thing. I'm over it.

My W10 is so optimized, so fast and so geared towards me that there really is no alternative. I really don't care that I could get 10 more FPS by playing some AAA UE5 vomit on Linux.

>The only dependency thing I can remember breaking my shit is when I use something from AUR
Guess you've been lucky with your update intervals, I can't believe that a single package from extra hasn't broken your programs. Any program that you used got abandoned and is still in the main repos, but it crashes and is outright broken?

>>713629941

I'm sorry, which OS are you talking about?

please just try again with my bash scripts, it will work this time!

>I cannot find a usecase outside of gaming
Unless you're playing some kernel-level anti-cheat game like LoL then most popular games will work. Figuring out Steam/Lutris on Linux was the final thing that freed me from needing Windows at all.
The only usecase (for me at least) for needing Windows rarely is for hardware driver support for some things that are unavailable on Linux because I have an Elgato 4k60 and there is no driver for this on Linux so if I want to record or stream a console game that isn't a PS5 I have to use Windows. That's the only reason I will probably keep a Windows install around, otherwise Linux takes care of everything for me now

>>713630063
I'm guessing the one without multiversion library support.

>Bazzite
Isn't that some street shitter Linux flavor?

>>713577791 (OP)
Only on AMD videocards, because AMD is fucking retarded at writing drivers.

Which is exactly why i'm using linux, vega 8 on windows is suffering.

>>713630008
If something that gets abandoned it's usually mostly from AUR and in this case I outright remove it and look for alternatives, be aware I only use the AUR for some emulators and some shit from -git because I'm lazy to manually go to GitHub and do it myself.

I'm not talking about orphaned packages, but broken packages from the main repos. Notepadqq comes to mind.

>>713577925
Retard

do emulators like rpcs3 and duckstation work on linux?

>>713630629
Sorry but I only remember the Grub issue that was a few years ago, otherwise I can't remember outright broken packages from the main repo.

Never heard of it, for my basic needs Kate serves its purpose.

>There hasn't been an actual Windows release in 25 years.
True

>>713631067
Haven't used DuckStation, but I always see it in the software manager. RPCS3 shows a Linux version on their site, so yeah.

>>713631067
They do, only in duckstation's case you will get constantly reminded that you're using an unofficial build unless it's the dogshit official in bigger filesize AppImage version from the main site because for some reason the dev is a schizo or something like that.

>>713631340
thanks, that's good news for me

>>713631067
emulators almost always have a native build

>>713631240
You must be retarded
As someone that has worked with microsoft they are hugely responsible for trans agenda as well as pushing health insurance vendors to provide LGBT mainly T service.
But go on and dick suck Microsoft

>>713631240
Good thing faggots and trannies are rarer than lottery winners in my country.
gypsies on the other hand....

>>713631612
It's called virtue signaling, but gnome and kde faggots actually believe in it. It's really funny.

>>713631067
Emulators always have linux build, unless dev is some special kind of autismo.

>>713588785
I believe if linux keep improving at some point Gabe is going to pull off some "after [insert future date] your game has to run on linux" either by force or discount for developers.

>>713631942
Problem is that lot of devs are utterly retarded when comes to development or no longer exist, and it's worse for nip ones.

>>713607445
Loolnix is inherently trans and so is /g/.

>>713632234
>lot of devs are utterly retarded when comes to development or no longer exis
Why would anyone slightly competent waste time in a field with no monetary incentive? All the devs stopped wasting time and started following the money.

>>713631725
Did you read my post?
I don't care if a team of tech serfs that make shit for me for free decide to chop off their dicks decide to virtue signal I do care about one of the biggest companies using it's vast resources to propagate and advance the trans agenda across the country.
THINK

>>713632234
no matter how retarded is. most tools nowadays are capable of "export>linux" and most of the time they don't want some debs like to pick the most trash engines for simple things.

talking realistically it can be about new releases after certain date.

>>713632532
steam on itself is the incentive. as long steam is mostly pro-consumer it will keep wining and so the y can enforce different things.

oh no how dare steam wants to skip windows and make gaming more accessible. specially for their own systems

at the end of the day. people keep winning.

>steam on itself is the incentive
There is no money in game dev. Your little tranny portable is a steam machine 2.0 and proton is just wine with extra codecs. You're gonna whine when your drivers and winemu stops getting support.
>oh no how dare steam wants to skip windows and make gaming more accessible
By emulating windows executables? All the games are developed and compiled for windows, and it will never change. There is a reason why no dev wants to play babysitter with native linux ports.

I tried to install linux but it polled my scale and said I need to gain 400lbs first.
