Is it finally able to easily play games?

Yeah, but it doesn't do much else.

no lol

Linux is a gigo system, garbage in garbage out, if you don't know linux no it's not easy to do anything, not even print a fucking document or watch youtube half the time.

it's not 2010 anymore, unc

>>713665825 (OP)
It is better at running games in some cases. Though it will never be quite as easy and smooth as Windows.

>>713665825 (OP)
Single player games yes

>>713665825 (OP)
wegs and hgames work just fine, I don't really care about anything else.

>>713666118
Anon I've spent over a thousand working hours in linux this year ago, I know what I said. The second you deviate from the lowest common functional denominator you've chosen the path of terminal.
A retard like you who probably only plays tf2, no sweat.
A power user like me who might want to mod skyrim? Nightmare.

>>713665825 (OP)
only about since 2019, nigga

>>713665825 (OP)
install gnu emacs, then do alt+x and type tetris
or you could just use windows

Reminder that Microshills and Macshills are working overtime to derail Linux threads. Linux is simply superior. Always was, and it still is. Lol.

>>713665825 (OP)
The major problem with linux I have is compatibility. Everything I need for my job and school is proprietary and only usable on windows. Gaming is a similar situation as practically nothing is natively supported on linux unless you are playing it through a compatibility layer like proton but even then there are bound to be issues and sometimes it straight up doesn't work while on windows you can just double click an exe file. You might say
>"well why not just dual boot?"
What the fuck is the point of using linux at all then? I game on windows, all of my productivity is also on windows. I can watch videos, listen to music, jack off to porn and argue with people online just fine under windows so what am I realistically going to use Linux for? Just customizing my tiling manager and taking a screenshot for five seconds before switching back to windows?

It better be, I've started to learn Linux now that they're taking Windows 10 behind the barn and shooting it

>microcuck introduced points system to let people keep their updates until next year
The fear is real.
Linux only after october btw.

>>713666248
Just spin a KVM instance with something like Looking Glass, retard. You don't need 1000 hours of Linux to obtain this knowledge.

>>713665825 (OP)
Yes

>>713666661
The main selling point to me is its FOSS philosophy. Windows has grown to be increasingly buggy and slow compared to linux and feels like they own your machine to shill you AI and ms edge, it makes linux's community driven nature a breath of fresh air.

>>713665825 (OP)
The MS shills have completely destroyed that OS, so Linux is the only option.
Now we should carefully choose generic PC that Linux works on even if you use Windows for a while until it breaks.
It would die randomly and suddenly.

>>713666661
I'm planning to make the move to linux this year as I refuse to move to w11. W10 is shit enough I don't want an even worse experience.

You can run almost everything on linux if you jump through the hoops but yeah it won't be natively. I'm hoping that the occasional game not working won't be that big of a deal.

>>713669793
Supposedly the only games that work well are WEGs

>>713669943
My impression of proton is that it runs things pretty effortlessly and what doesn't work on it should work in a windows VM. Malware anti-cheat might be a problem but in some cases even those can be ran in a VM.

Nice thing is that valve is fully supporting it because they don't want to be stuck on windows if microsoft starts acting up. Support will only get better as time goes on and SteamOS is likely to see a desktop release.

But saar, linax is superpower's desktop of choice. Only in the best country in the world is it four times the average size.

>>713666661
is exactly what's keeping me on Windows even though >>713668416 tempts me. I'll probably try it with dual boot sometime just to say I have.

>>713670492
no linux does not the desktop of choice India benchod bloody do not because windows fucking bitch microsoft is SUPERIOR MACHINE YOU BLOODY

It's four bloody times bitch madarchod. The power of android, linax and ai will take India to the moon you basterd.

Modern Windows is slowing becoming Linux and Linux is slowly becoming Windows. Computing is dead, all you can do is run the oldest Windows your hardware supports and that can run the software you want.

>>713671593
"I love India" Bill Gates has said MANY FUCKING TIMES bloody

Still doesn't work well with a handful of online games, but single player ones are quite good with amd cards.

Can't even play oblivion remastered on windows since the shaders don't compile correctly

since this is /v/ and linux thread
any of you lads know if Cod cold war campaign is playable on linux?
contemplating on buying it
but its rated borked on protondb and people say smth like being banned for using proton.
I dont care about multiplayer though and just want to play the campaign.

It plays my PS2 games I ripped the isos from.
It plays all of the single player PC games I want to play.
It even has some multiplayer games that I am surprised still has an audience.
Life's good.

It can run games I want to play just fine.

Are Valve planning to make SteamOS an actual functional desktop at some point?

>>713674550
It's Arch but with an immutable file system, which won't affect you 90% of the time.

>>713674597
>It's Scrimblobimblo but with a sloopetypoopetyboop
Am I gonna be able to use a desktop OS that isn't Windows but is as user friendly as the regular 7 or worst case scenario 10 in my lifetime, or not?

>>713674734
It means you can't be stupid and delete system32, besides extra stuff from valve, its pretty much same as usual arch linux install.

If you want something more toward desktop then mint or bazzite are better picks.

>>713674068
I don't know about the playability but you shouldn't get banned for playing the singleplayer campaign, if you're worried about it, you could prob run it offline without issue since it's a pretty old game.

>>713674734
I understand that this is a huge part of what keeps people on windows but if you can't take 30 seconds to search "immutable file system" it doesn't matter how much they babyproof a distro you probably won't do well on Linux. Making a distro for people who can't do that would pretty much defeat the point of switching and you might as well just concede and give MS control over your system in exchange for your operating system being able to just work all the time.

>>713676478
Most popular distros work straight out of box, you only ever need fiddle with wine/proton fuckery, even then it don't take too much to setup few parameters.

>>713676478
I mean, if Anon can't figure out what 'immutable' implies for a file on your system, then I don't know if even babyproofing would be enough for him

>>713666028
Printing on Linux is fucking easier than on windows now, even ltt faggots figured it out.

>>713665825 (OP)
easier than on windows currently and way less nvidia driver bugs.
