*it doesn't

Why do people who don't use Linux care that I play video games on Linux? If Windows is so great then you have nothing to be butthurt about.

>>714495768
Because you're one of about 10 people total that plays games on Linux, and you can't play the majority of games without serious bugs or glitches. Linux still uses a command line because they're stuck in the 90s, everything is either disjointed and problematic, or it's overcentralized and unstrustworthy (the entire OS relies on SystemD to even function properly). Mac just works but you need special hardware that doesn't just work. Windows just works period.

>>714496086
>Because you're one of about 10 people total that plays games on Linux, and you can't play the majority of games without serious bugs or glitches.
Both of those claims are extremely exaggerated but I'm still not seeing a reason that you personally should give a shit about what I do on my computer.
>Linux still uses a command line
Windows has one too. Can you give me an example of a task that actually requires a command line on Linux Mint?

How do you undervolt a GPU on Linux in a user-friendly way?

>>714496346
>Can you give me an example of a task that actually requires a command line on Linux Mint?
Installing, updating or fixing drivers, which you will have to do all the time because Linux drivers are hot garbage. You can't even use Linux with an Nvidia graphics card because the drivers conflict with the entire kernel.

>>714496779
Wrong. I have an AMD GPU so my drivers were already installed and I haven't had to update or "fix" them.

>>714493539 (OP)
pewdiepie use linux, you lost

>>714496779
>>Can you give me an example of a task that actually requires a command line on Linux Mint?
>Installing drivers
Already installed for AMD (and Mint has a GUI for managing proprietary e.g. Nvidia drivers too, not that I've ever used it).
>updating drivers
All of my updates come through the Update Manager GUI, so no command-line needed.
>fixing drivers, which you will have to do all the time
???
>You can't even use Linux with an Nvidia graphics card because the drivers conflict with the entire kernel.
Not my problem.

It was okay til I got a 50 series card and everything broke

>>714496693
use corectrl or lact

Name a single game I like which doesn't run on GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.

Dumb fucking frogshitter

Nothing wrong with gaming on Linux, literally does work on my machine. Out of all the games I've tried only a couple have problems and there is usually a fix for them.

Only game I'm having problems with is The Division 2 which crashes after 10mins or so.

>>714493539 (OP)
I have cyberpunk 2077, star wars jedi survivor and Clair obscur expedition 33 installed on my Linux system.

All pirated, all work flawless. Now what?

>>714500121

correct

OP just wants to see Linux desktop screenshots and is attempting to use reverse psychology to get them. He doesn't deserve to get what he wants with such underhanded tactics, but I will have mercy on him and post my desktop anyway.
You're welcome.

>>714501782
to be fair, when you use linux, you learn to use reverse psychology to get the answers you want

>>714501782

Disgusting

linux
>it works, until it doesn't which is soon

>>714502168
Not really. Despite all of the people who think "OMG LINUX SUCKS IT CAN'T EVEN DO THIS SIMPLE THING" is an effective way to ask for help, these are the same people who end up thinking that Linux users are elitist and never help anyone, because it doesn't actually work. You get much better results if you just ask nicely (and do it somewhere other than /g/), because the internet is full of Linux users who want more people to use Linux for some reason and will bend over backwards to make sure new users get what they need.
>>714502236
Cope.
>>714502552
>soon
Two more weeks, right?

idiot here

is it wrong to assume game compatibility on linux is the same or similar to say, steam deck?

>>714502640

post games (You) play on linux
>>714502985
you are kinda right, when in doubt check protondb.com

non-linux user question

Can I pirate gog games and install them on linux with no problems? That's mostly what I play these days

>>714503469
yes, you will use a software called wine to run them https://www.winehq.org/
it may or may not work, usually works

I had a good experience playing GOG games on linux

generally the stuff that doesn't work is stuff that's already annoying on windows like multiple layers of DRM

I'm gonna use this thread to ask.
I am going to switch to linux this weekend but I want to transfer all my browser stuff, how do I do that?
I use brave and librewolf and I really don't want to lose all my tabs/favorites and other shit.

>>714502985
It's better because steam deck is really slow

>>714503469
You can use lutris and add the game to your library using wine to play it. Not pirated anything but with Lutris you can add games, just set the folder the game is in, set where the exec is and then set which runner to use (wine or Proton).

>>714503795
Don't browsers usually have a way to export and import that stuff? It would vary by browser, surely. So do that, and hope the browser's developers were not so fucking obnoxious as to use different export formats for Windows and Linux.
If the Brave/Librewolf developers are not cunts, then this is a Brave/Librewolf question and not a Linux question.

>>714504185
this is for bookmarks.
I also want to transfer the tabs, I have a shitton of tabs too...
Last time I reinstalled windows I just copied the folders of the browsers and that worked, but I doubt it will work the same for linux.

>>714495768
4chan needs a retarded thread schizo for every topic. This Windowsfag has been chimping out about Linux on /v/ for ages now.

>>714504483
>tabs
You mean you just never close web pages...?
Maybe just bookmark all open tabs, export the bookmarks, and then open the bookmarks after you import them on the new OS.
Whether there's a better way to do what you want is still more of a browser question than an OS question. You're right that copying the browser's entire configuration file structure PROBABLY won't work, because that is something that may differ by OS version, so either the browser has a feature to export tabs or it doesn't.

>>714495768
Because idiots get mad about it and think you are shilling Linux. They are so retarded that they think people would actually shill a free OS. More likely they are MS hills trying to get people to use windows because I can't see why anyone would intentionally try to shit on Linux and praise windows.

>>714505553
I just found out that brave has a sync feature, but librewolf doesn't have anything.

>play left 4 dead 2 linux native version
>crashes a few seconds after loading the map every time
>find someone suggesting to add -vulkan as a launch option
>game works perfectly
I know the game is from 2009, but Valve still ships (community) updates for the game in 2025. Why isn't Vulkan enabled by default?

>>714506862
Probably because of GPUs that don't support Vulkan.

>>714493539 (OP)
>file deleted
lol

>>714502396
I don't see what Cinnamon has to do with it. Every desktop environment has support for desktop shortcuts.

>>714506862
same shit with CSGO when I tried linux a few years ago, game wouldn't even launch because it started as fullscreen and GNOME doesn't like that for some reason, when I googled the fix there were posts from 2011 complaining about the SAME issue...

>>714507589
Based jannies deleting all op images that are frogshit

>>714502236
only Windows desktop shortcuts are disgusting, actually

>>714508770
Desktop icons on windows or Linux are cringe.

>>714503190
Any of them aside from Mecha Break really

>>714509926
>get steam deck verified

I would say fuck em and play anyway with proton-EM but I don't want to waste my time in the event it gets fixed.

What do you think that means and what does it have to do with desktop shortcuts?

> You can't even use Linux with an Nvidia graphics
That's nvidia's problem, not mine. I'm using amdgpu.

>>714503190
I still haven't launched a couple because I play too many games on pastgen consoles and deck.

>>714496779
I literally installed mint last night and it is working fine with my 980...

>>714496779
My 3060 works great on Linux

Let's say I've been replaying Dishonored.
Why should I use Windows for that? Give me all the reasons I should switch back to Windows for this use case.

>>714507487
well let the people on pre-2013 GPUs enable -opengl then, seems like the more reasonable choice.

>>714516382
So Sativa Nutella knows that you still play Dishonoroed and that axing Arkane Austin was a bad idea.

>>714516824
Then it would be broken for them by default.
If the OpenGL version crashes for you, then maybe some bug needs to be fixed, but in theory it supports both OpenGL and Vulkan, and practically every GPU supports OpenGL but not every GPU supports Vulkan — so OpenGL makes more sense as a default renderer, at least on paper.

>>714503190
These are some damn old games, but the only one of these that doesn't work is Rat Hunter. It's some slavjank fps that barely functions anyway, you have to mash esc key to even get into the main menu when it boots.

Why do wincels seethe about GNU/Linux chads so much?

>>714503795
>>714504483
librewolf is a firefox fork right? copying/pasting the entire profile folder *should* work, even between OSs Used to do that back in the day so I'm not guaranteeing it will work nowadays

>>714521449
Their perception of Linux as difficult to use, combined with the expectation that every post on 4chan is some kind of argument, they interpret "I use Linux btw" as code for "haha you're too stupid to use Linux", and thus merely seeing a screenshot of a Linux desktop or a cute render of Tux the penguin makes them feel as if they're under attack.

>>714523939

lmao

Oops. For some idiotic reason, I started rewording >>714523939 and didn't finish before submitting it, hence the run-on sentence. I'm not ESL but I might be stupid.

>>714521849
thanks anon, but I found out that there is a share feature as well, you can use a mozilla account and it will sync all your shit on multiple devices, pretty neat actually.

>>714524116
any actual good game that feature tux?

>>714495768
It's so bizarre. Back when Linux couldn't run shit people were boasting about Linux everywhere. It became a meme about how Linux users never shut up.

Now it's the reverse. Linux works for like 99% programs aside from adobe garbage. And now Linux dudes are all chillin and keeping mostly to themselves while Window users are having a meltdown. Window fags mention Linux more than Linux fags now.

Also, can I still get this item? I haven't played tf2 in a decade or more.
They need to put Tux in dota2

the only games that i can't play on Linux right now that i owns the ones that use a kernel level anti-cheat.
wine is not at the point were it emulates windows almost 1:1
and lutris carries the rest.
im on Fedora plasma KDE and i do not regreat switching the only real hickup was getting connected to my work internet
and using EQ EMU for the heros journy but i can always duel boot if i can't get it to run

I hope Macs become more and more popular, it's the only true alternative to Windows these days.

>try to boot back into windows

I fell for the "just set up a dual boot and try it out bro" meme
never again
I'm assuming its because I tried to set it up on the same drive that windows is installed in but jesus I wish it would have thrown me a warning or something

Windows is actively hostile against any other operating system sharing the same drive. It is so spiteful it will even kill itself.

>>714531696
someone should check if their Steam receipts were properly calculated.
It seems Valve can't even do basic math.

>>714531696
Around 30% of that is just the deck. The actual linux userbase is small but also extremely vocal and annoying, in reality it's like 1.2% of users that actively use linux to play games.
