Reminder that gaming on linux is EASY and FREE and that you have no reason not to make the switch

>>713970434 (OP)
I'm scared of buying a new game and not have it run properly in Linux, wasting my money

>>713970434 (OP)
There are like five games that run on linux

>>713970778
Name them

>>713970819
Civ V
Minecraft
Soul Calibre 3
Simpsons hit and run
Dwarf fortress

>>713970745
Never had that problem
>>713970819
NTA but:
Dusk, Doom 2017, Dragon's Dogma, Quasimorph, Ion Fury and any console game with a good emulator

>>713970434 (OP)
I prefer heroic, even if their aesthetic is cringe

gaming on linux is easy af now and everyone struggling with it is a retarded tech illiterate monkey. with steam everything works out of the box, and with piracy you use lutris with different wine prefixes so you can experiment with different overlays till you find one that just works

>>713970990
>Doom 2017
I played this on Linux and it worked on my machine

>>713970434 (OP)
Good job opening yourself up to litearlly very single windows virus with 0 antivirus to beat it lol

>>713970990

Because you just play old shit
I don't wanna preorder a game then have Linux shit itself

>>713971326
>most tech literate windows user

>>713971597
If you preorder games you should die.
And pretty sure steam returns don't start counting time until after the game comes out.

On first glance that image looked like a guy trying to fit a massive orange into his mouth, like this

I buy games from grey markets to not give money to devs and save it

>>713970434 (OP)
I also don't have a reason to make the switch.

How do I run Unity games in Linux. My unity games either launch with a blackscreen or crash after the unity logo. Installing .net and corefonts did not help. I've tinkered with wine and proton for several hours and its a massive pain desu.

>>713970434 (OP)
I installed linux in a partition alongside windows because I want to try it for a while without fully committing just in case I regret it.
I think I made the partition too small because the whole thing would shit itself if I install something bigger than 30GB.

>>713972404
You could still install to an external drive but it'll load slower

>>713972350
I play a couple Unity games. They just work.

linux is for servers and servers only

I switched last week. There's been some required troubleshooting, but it's worth it to get away from glowie MS.

>>713970819

Tux Fight
Super Tux Party

>>713970434 (OP)
I like otters.

>>713970434 (OP)
But gaming on Windows is EASIER and also FREE?

>>713972404
Generally it's better to install it on a separate disk because windows will sometimes fuck up the bootloader otherwise.

>>713973381
Same

>>713970434 (OP)
what advantage does lutris do? i still am stuck with my custom wine scripts

I've tried using that program and heroic launcher for GOG and Epic games on my steam deck, both are crap, they've given me a weird error in some games and I'm better off using wine and adding the game to steam

>>713970745
Over my years of using it I've went from religiously checking protondb before making a purchase to assuming it'll justwerk as long as it's not some live service DRM riddled shit. So far I've never been burned on it.

>>713970434 (OP)
>>713971735
It's Spurdo unhinging his jaw

>>713973430
Sure but the NSA and Israel record everything you do and type

I've been researching for hours and still don't know how to set jp applocale in a game through Lutris. Also it took me a full day of dealing with bullshit to get mods to work on Persona 4. It sure as fuck is not easy, and time is money so it's not really free either.

>>713970434 (OP)
Why do you use Lutris instead of Heroic? Genuinely why?

I play dx12 games and have a nvidia card so it's a no go until AMD makes a better card or nvidia make better drivers.

>>713973892
I'm not a pedophile so I have nothing to worry about even if that's the case.

Okay, but what do you do when the anti-cheats stop your games from working on Linux? Respond without using ANY of the following:

Don't forget
>Use AyyMd instead of Jewvidia

>>713970745

Seriously tho, outside of games with anticheat and extremely old weird games (japanese ones especially), almost everything run in Linux through Lutris/Bottles/Proton.

>>713976525
I'm pretty sure almost all Steam games work on Deck, except some literally whos nobody cares about. Valve provides all neccessary extra files for launching out of the box, especially is we're talking about big games.
On the other hand, I wouldn't be so sure about FPS. It might be pretty much unplayable, unless you're streaming from your PC - which allows you to play anything on Deck with ultra settings.

>>713970434 (OP)
yeah except for all the games that don't work rofl

Death Stranding 1 worked perfectly, but you'll have to wait for the PC port at least a year anyway, so you might a well learn the system in the meanwhile.
>>713977657
That's because it's a Micro$hit game, they pull that crap.

I wonder what the actual retention rate is for people who try switching to Linux on their main PC. Obviously the majority go back to Windows after some time, and these threads are comprised of a small number of people who took up shilling Linux as their life mission + people who switched recently and haven't had time yet to run into all the issues that will inevitably make them switch back.

so gaming is easy on linux, and linux has more or less the same or similar office, video editing and assorted work programs windows has
and yet people aren't making the switch

has no linuxtard in the last 30 years stopped to think the reason people dislike linux goes deeper than stupid "oh we don't have X yet" cope?
that the issue may be inherent to linux architecture and culture?
nobody wants to deal with the cli on linux anymore than they want to deal with regedit on windows, and yet decades later the number of times a solution involves either is still an order of magnitude higher on linux

I remember using wine like 2 decades ago and it was an atrocious experience, I'm not going back to that stupid garbage. You have to be a legit retard to use linux if you have any interest in video games

>>713970434 (OP)
No, it's not.

>>713971010
I don't know who told you this, but it doesn't. You're basically running a virtual machine of windows for most stuff, which at that point you might as well run windows.


Very, very few games have native linux support, and that whole wine thing ends up running basically everything worse, and introducing downright bizarre graphical bugs.

>>713987403

>>713971597
You can't even just play old things. Basically everything from 1994 to 2018 is unplayable on Linux. Dos emulation tends to work fine, but if you're trying to play Dark Mesiah or some shit you're boned.

>>713976283
This is based on statcounter, which is based on hits and user agent data.
For developing countries it is blatantly obvious that you're mostly getting spoofed user agent data (either due to blocked regional browsers or due to review farms and other robotic turk traffic). If you look at the Indian OS graph you can quite literally see Indian phone browsers switching to reporting that they're Windows browsers in response to being blocked.

>>713988257
It's great if you have more than 2 braincells. You're better off sticking to windows.

I don't wanna move on new OS and have to wonder why some stuff doesn't work, ask help, then be told that I should use "Linux alternative".
Also fucking Terminal fuck that piece of shit they always say "You don't have to learn to use it xD" and when you come across any problem they go "OMG RTFM FUCKING WINTARD DO IT THROUGH TERMINAL".

>>713987207
On the OS i'm using (endeavourOS), i have to open the terminal, type yay brave (no bin bullshit needed) press 1 and type the password.
On Windows you have go to the brave website, find and download the installer, navigate where the installer is, go thru all the wizard shit and done.
The annoyance level is roughly the same unless i want to install several different software, then linux ends being a bit less annoying (with yay specifically).
The manjaro package thing is the least annoying of the bunch as you can just search the names of the softwares, check the box of all of em and multi-drift install.

My linux mint is freezing randomly now. At least I had a good time with it.

>>713981829
I think everyone knows that people get their drive to do things from the media they consoom and that it has nothing to do with Loonix culture.
Linux never got a "This is the computer system for normalfags" push on TV the way that Windows or Mac did and with the emergence of smartphones it never will.
At this point Linux being more prevalent in eceleb shit will start to be more impactful than the waning presence of desktop operating systems in popular media.

>>713988483
I don't use the terminal for much, just yay and ffmpeg.
However you will be annoyed to update definitions, update software, UPDOOT or you can't install new shit.
Also yes, wine is not perfect and some games will just not run.
I moved to linux because it's particular annoyances are less annoying than Win10+ ones for me specifically.
It mostly annoys you when you're trying to do something new rather than constantly getting in your way.
However it will never be as good as W7, no OS will.
Microsoft decided they want the android money and people are too retarded to use computers.

You don't really need to know any of that if you're using Linux Mint. It's stupid easy.

>I'm scared of buying a new game and not have it run properly in Linux, wasting my money
Installing Linux doesn't ban you from using Windows on your computer. The absolute worst thing that can happen is that you need to boot up your Windows to play some games, and if you have any reluctance about switching from Windows then I'm sure the concept of occasionally using Windows isn't all that intolerable to you. Anyway it's called dual booting.

So you started off whining about the differences between distributions, and now you're assuming Arch so that it sounds harder. lol

>>713970434 (OP)
Lutris is one of the worst programs I have ever used. Every alternative is better. Use heroic, use bottles, just install shit on your system wine, but don't use this worthless piece of shit.

The other guy is right. Arch is clearly not for you.

>>713994769
>bottles
Just use Steam at this point. The Bottles devs are massive faggots

Linux is too popular now and the current maintainers pozzed it (Lmao Rust) and Linus is a nigger for also enabling it. I moved over to FreeBSD and my experience has been better than Linux, less bloat too.

I don't care or think about what homosexuals work for me for free. It's irrelevant to me. I donate nothing to them and will use their work however I want because they license it so I can.

>cropping as narrowly as possible so as to leave no clue about what game it is
Despite your best efforts at obfuscating it for some deranged and probably schizophrenic reason, here's the whole report. It shouldn't really be a thumbs-up report with the cutscenes not working, but that's what you get when you rely on user-generated content. Users are dumb and always do the wrong thing.
The report is two years old though, so it's possible that this issue is already fixed by Valve's video transcoding thing. Otherwise the usual recommendation for broken cutscenes is to try GE Proton.

>>713996915
Outdated philosophy. If you pay for something, you still are the product. That's why most sub services still give you ads and sell your data.

>>713996991
The reason he didn't want you to know what game it is, is because after 5 seconds of looking at the game and reading a review you will release the only "cutscene" is an intro movie that doesn't work, and then it's a pure doujin action game that works fine.

>>713996991
>"2 years ago" instead of the exact date
>doesn't even show the exact date on mouse-over
This dogshit web design trend is emblematic of the total enshittification of the internet as a whole, and I hate it with all of my being.

>>713997254
It's an intentional choice to diminish accountability.

>>713997032
>>713996991
Furthermore, I just installed the demo and the intro movie worked on Proton-Ge. Won't bother trying experimental. Guy is a retard.

>>713996991
>It was buggy 2 years ago bro, they surely fixed that by now.
I was told nearly a decade ago this exact same thing about niche JP games and VNs, up to and including the "it was bad 2 years ago just try it again bro" part.
Glad to see linuxfags are still lying niggers trying to grift people into using their meme OS a decade later.

>>713997758
I literally just ran it you fucking retard and it worked. You can keep making shit up but it's very easy to disprove you, even if you try to hide the information necessary to show how wrong and retarded you are. You probably just have no clue how to set JP locale on linux which is why your VN's don't work, fucking idiot.

>>713996991
>updoot
many such cases

>>713997758
I didn't write "surely"; I wrote "it's possible". Because it is.
But it doesn't matter because other anon already verified that it works with GE Proton which is the standard recommendation for video playback issues.

>>713997880
>>713998024
And then when I want to play anything more recent that 2 years old I would inevitably come into problems with no way to fix them aside from "wait for them to someday be fixed bro" just like back then too.

Actually it's not inevitable because Proton doesn't need to be manually tweaked for each game after release, and when some game with some issue is popular enough for Valve to give a shit about pushing a hotfix for it, they don't take two years to do so. If there are cutscene issues specifically, then it might take some time for Valve to do whatever video transcoding shit they do (and I don't understand it so I won't pretend that I do), but GE Proton would solve that issue immediately if it's just a matter of needing some codec that GE Proton already provides.

I may have no reason not to make the switch but what reason do I have to make the switch?

>and when some game with some issue is popular enough
and there lies the issue

>>713998559
>Still not saying any game names

I played ER on release. I played Space Marine 2 on release. I just beat Stellar Blade. Even installed mods. I played that new Dynasty Warriors Origins game. I pirated Lies of P dlc. In fact in the last year only one game I wanted to play had any issues, that have now been fixed (Le Mans Ultimate)

You are full of shit.

If a game isn't "popular" then it will not need a fix, because it's engine is not going to be complicated enough to require something like making some special dxvk code path to fix a shader combinatorics problem.

>>713998853
Some obscure indie game not getting the attention of Valve's "holy shit we need to make this game work on Steam Deck right now" team is an issue in that some game with a fixable issue might not be fixed FOR YOU by Valve (who are often just configuring Proton to apply some shit you can do with a launch option anyway), but again, it's not as if Proton needs to be tweaked for every game that releases. If that were the case then only AAA games would be playable. In reality a lot of indie shit just works. Nobody at Valve stepped in to fix those.

>>713999116
Guess you gotta werk harder

>>713999216
so you're saying if you don't play AAA goyslop, it's a coin toss if a game works or not, with yet another coin toss after if it gets fixed in a timely manner
wonderful

That mentality while still ignoring linux's obnoxious instability for the most asinine reasons imaginable is why most people just go back to windows, or if the steam hardware survey is to be believed, macOS.

>>713999337
>if it might work or might not work, then it's a 50% coin toss
Weird how my coin lands on "works" 98% of the time. Must be a magic coin or something.

Works on my machine :)

That's the magic of being a normie and never playing anything too obscure that (((journos))) didn't advertise already.

I am not an evangelical, and I'm on fucking 4chan. If somebody in earnest had that issue that wasn't in a thread to just try to make Linux look bad, I might ask questions to see if he fucked up something and could help him. But here, I'm just going to call you what you are, a fucking retard. Mina the Hollower is a basic as fuck game. I was also looking forward to it and played the demo the second it was announced. There was no setup allowed. If literally nothing worked for him, he has broken something that has nothing to do with Linux gaming. Maybe he dual boots and puts his shit on a shitty ntfs drive. Maybe he has some esoteric setup that I don't know about. I'm not going to help him figure it out because he should kill himself instead.

>>713999621
I mostly play indie games, actually.

>>713999621
I primarily play pre-2000's Japanese visual novels in Japanese using tools like ITH and I have zero problems.

>>713999621
When you're done using your zero Linux experience to tell actual Linux users on 4chan what does and doesn't work, please tell the journos in your head that I said thanks for making Valve fix the ultra-popular smash-hit blockbuster Donut Dodo for me.

Wine Is Not An Emulator

>>713970434 (OP)
I tried using Lutris to install a few games from GOG on my Deck, but every time after a game is downloaded it gives me an error and tells that it couldn't find innoextract. What's worse, I can't find any relevant solutions in Google.
Ironically, emulation and pirated Linux versions work flawlessly, unlike non-Steam games I fucking own.

>>714000850
>>--gay

hehe

>people do whole mental gymnastic to have clean windows install but setting up few lines on proton or wine is somehow too complex

I really don't get this dumb shit.

I used linux only one time last year and it was awful
it required manual isntalls of a bunch of shit and the only good upside was being able to run docker cleanly. everything else was a letdown.

>>714003283
use mint dont fall for the arch meme

>>714003768
used zorin.
and I aint falling for shit no mopre cuz I am enver installing linux again.

You barely need use terminal nowdays, most stuff can be done via GUI.

If you need use then people tell what exactly you should type.

>>713970434 (OP)
i tried 3 games on lutris and only one worked .

>>713976525
Theres literally no reason it wouldn't work thoever

>>713981829
Or maybe it's the fact that windows has a multi billion dollar corporation shilling and advertising it and Linux is made by a few hundred nerds in their free time with a 0 dollar advertising budget. Or maybe it's that windows was first to the market, completely conquered it, and now has tons of momentum behind it, which is extremely difficult to slow down.

>and when you come across a problem, they give you a command to paste into the terminal instead of uploading a whole page worth of screenshots showing all the things to click with the mouse in order to accomplish the same thing as pasting one line of text
wow no way.
Just paste the text and shut up, brainlet.
