Here is a fact /v/: Alot of popular normie games which people with a social life play work only on Windows. Your niche games are for only sweaty neckbeards such as yourself.

If Linux cannot play a game that Windows can, then Linux will NEVER be a gaming platform.

My GPU died a while back and at this point, I figure I may as well save up to buy an entirely new PC rather than just a new card.
So, in the meantime, I'm stuck with this cheap chromebook. After getting rid of all but the essentials, it can sorta run games on it, but only through linux with wine. I've been fed up with windows for years, so I guess I'll just stick with Linux at this point forward, especially since I'm investing so much time into learning how it works.
I enjoy using the terminal for everything, it's got that going for it at least.
And it doesn't come with built-in spyware.

Literally had a problem once with one game and the only thing i had to do was install a "proton experimental" on steam. I don't even know what that is i just click buttons and games work.

>>716359313
Any game now or in the future

people who insist linux is some kind of esoteric operating system intended only for the chosen ones to do nothing but write microcode without a gui are just coping with the fact that they're retarded. linux is pretty much a straight upgrade except for the 2 or 3 things you can't do on linux in which case just virtualize a windows machine or dual boot. basically if you daily drive windows in 2025 you only have yourself to blame for your life sucking. unless you have an nvidia card in which case lol good luck

>>716359892
You don't need to assume. I told you.
Here's a site tracking anti-cheat support:
https://areweanticheatyet.com/
I can't vouch for how up-to-date or accurate it is, but anti-cheat spyware compatibility is a known issue, so if the site doesn't say a game works then it probably doesn't work.
I'd tell you to look at ProtonDB as well, but that site is significantly more of a clusterfuck of inaccurate and outdated information and the rating system makes no sense, so the site is pointless unless you have the patience to read and understand the latest reports for a given game rather than trusting the useless rating.

Had a linux phase and played FNV on a fedora os.
The worst thing is that the lucky 38 that you can see shining from everywhere on the map (good design) didn't light up at all. Ruined my run and returned to windows for FNV. Linux is too much fiddling to get a simple game to run despite the competability projects. I'll stick to linux on vm and game on my windows host.

You have the gall to call someone else as ESL while your post is peak ESL quality.

It is a big deal retard, when you keep gloating "lol troonix is le ez, lol it's 1 click bro" yet you still need to setup command launch just for a DLL mod.

I installed Linux Mint and everything worked out of the box. Didn't have to go searching for printer drivers or pulling out my old TPLink CD for my wifi card. Ironically better than Windows. It even comes with a scanning program for my printer. On Windows I had to install a specific proprietary "hub" for my Canon printer to scan. It was a real fucking mess.

Problem is people think Linux is the same as it was 15 years ago. I remember trying it back then and nothing worked. Now almost everything works. If you want to run some windows-only program then just install Wine. And to my surprise it doesn't take 5 seconds to open a photo or file management. Idk how I dealt with that Windows lag for so long. An OS shouldn't lag ffs.

First thing I do a fter getting a new PC is disable updates and the proceed to remove all this intrusive microsoft shit.
I had a $300 Lenovo as a college student. It ran faster and was much more stable than any of the four digit gaming notebooks my friends had, simply from not being force fed this crap.

There was some trial and error and I've bricked my machine twice but I've gotten pretty good at it. It's still a much more rewarding process than messing with a Linux distro. My current Laptop took me 30 minutes to "get in line" boots super fast and hasn't been updated in two years.

I spent about a month of my life trying to install Linux because I fell for the meme. I tried Mint, Arch, Endeavor, and Cachy, yet none of them did what I wanted, which was gaming
I installed Mint on a laptop, and it couldn't even run the most basic shit that's available on Windows, which was finger gestures. All I wanted was to be able to seamlessly use the three finger gesture to switch between apps like on windows, and it was impossible
I tossed that experiment into the bin and counted as a fluke. Then I installed three Arch based distros, including Arch itself, and all I wanted to was to play Resonance of fucking Fate at a smooth fps, yet it was also impossible. I tried so many fucking launchers like Lutris, Hero, Wine, even went out of my way to make a Steam account yet it refused to get passed 20-30 fps. Mind you, I can run the game at full fps on windows
I made several threads asking for help, even joined a troon discord server to find assistance. Yet absolutely nobody could help me

Lutris have few couple of official installers supported, and download game from that.

Usually is just blizzard and rockstar shit. You can also use CD and just install, lutris give option to download patches and shit.

Otherwise is just setup exe parameters and play.

What are you talking about, steam underground? If lutris have installer on servers then you just download it from here and install.
If you download manually
No you dont click double on exe. You click add new game in lutris, pick where you download installer, pick where is prefix. Done you can install now and then just change exe from install to game.
Everything like 7 clicks

Linux is trash, great for vm clusters and storage but garbage for general purpose computing.

>>716380521
you can do that on linux too. if wine is installed your file manager will run .exe when you double click it, and wine will automatically add the desktop files after the install is completed.
generally it's recommended to use a wrapper for wine because it doesn't include shit like dxvk by default, but it's not necessary if you have everything already setup or know what you're doing.

>>716380643

What's next? Using OCI to package your sloppy second ports?

I don't know about you, but unless NVIDIA decides to officially support Linux out of nowhere (extremely unlikely), my next GPU will be AMD.
That being said, I don't plan to upgrade for the time being. Hopefully I'll be able to find a good deal on a 9700 sonner rather than later though.

In my experience its just RenPY slop that throws a shitfit, though japanese language packs have always been slightly worse to set up than Win7 (not as bad as WinXP at least).

Modding works fine on them unless you're trying to use some shitty third party mod manager in which case good luck. I dunno i've never been the type that loads up 800 mods totaling 300gb. Last mod manager I had to fuck with required me to enable a windows .dll through wine and then it worked but I have no first hand experience with Skyrim's mod managers.

>>716382448
>Using OCI to package your sloppy second ports?
every game you launch through steam runs through a container runtime.
whether you launch a native game on steam through a steam runtime (scout, soldier, sniper) you are launching a debian container. you can disable it with a launch argument if you wanted to. if you launch through proton you are also running a debian container. its how steam games just work by providing a common runtime environment.

I love the aesthetics and how snappy and unbloated it is (mint in my case), but i've been trying to move for a week and i keep encountering issues after issues that i never had a problem with in windows whatsoever, and windows has been fucking up on me so hard lately that it just hurts that this is the only alternative i can take.

I want SteamOS to double as something I can use for general productivity. Once it has word processing, a browser, and some basic image editing I think I could switch. Using another Linux branch and having to constantly check for updates or compatibility seems like more of a hassle and I want SteamOS to standardize general Linux use. Until then, SteamOS can only do a little of what I can do with Windows or even MacOS.

>>716383612
mint is actually a noob trap if you're not a grandma that only wants to use the browser.
it's based off gnome 2 which is over 10 years old and has barely changed since then, it's outdated as fuck and you'd be better served with something more modern like bazzite

>>716383207
I think I have the answers for some of them.
>Steam sometimes sees my drive, sometimes it outright refuses to add the folder with no explanation
Probably userspace mount
>Proton does jack shit, steam does not launch anything except for native games, even if it is supposed to be "Linux compatible"
Proton used to be disabled by default on Steam, don't know if it still is but if it's disabled in the options then Steam will not run anything that doesn't run native.
>It keeps setting my PC clock to something else for some god forsaken reason almost every time on both OS
Probably set up wrong timezone in Linux and NTP is updating the system clock

>>716376489
never considered this, but makes total sense for planned obsolescence. jfc man

>>716383762
>Proton used to be disabled by default on Steam, don't know if it still is but if it's disabled
Oh yeah, theres a compatability option in the main steam settings and you just flip that on and it stops trying to do linux native only.

>>716383693
I agree with this statement, Mint really is a noob trap. Bazzite is too, to an extent. Since it's an immutable distro and that's nasty for anyone who uses their computer for more than just gaming and web browsing.

I use a Mac and game on a console like a normal person.

>>716383886
yeah bazzite is a sandbox hell if you like tweaking with your system. it's there for the gaming / web browsing use case for people who dgaf.

because conflating linux (the kernel, a single component out of an entire system) with windows (an entire operating system, plus microsoft's additional software) is a mistake
the problem with multiple people/groups working on the different components that make up a linux distro is things will break frequently, as there's a fuckton of hardware configurations that need to be tested
So no, it's almost always never the linux "kernel"'s fault

Still Windows since even directly writing to sysfs can't control as much as AMD Catalyst software on windows can. Which is stupid, since AMDGPU-DC harmonised most of the code between the Windows and Linux drivers outside usermode stuff that links to mesa on Linux and dwm/dxgi on Windows. Also the AMD control centre software is Qt6, there is no reason it shouldn't be ported to Linux, but until it is my big GPU will run under Windows.
