Alright, I'll transition to linux

Now show the Battlefield 6 beta comparison.

>>717857079 (OP)

so subtle

>>717857370
That's just the average redditor.

>>717857370
so by this... its mostly normal dudes and not trannies? but i thought /v/ said it was all trannies?!??!?!

>>717857079 (OP)
What's with the bait picture with no context?

>>717857370

So its worse than trannies

>>717857079 (OP)
Windows
>game works
Linux
>game doesn't work

I will not transition.

>>717857895
Linux trannies want you to think linux gets more FPS

>>717857079 (OP)
This kind of thing just isn't true. Linux games barely run, and when they don't you need to know programing to make them work again, and even then its just barely.

People shit on windows but the reality is all those tasks in the background are keeping your computer fast and snappy. Go on and try it yourself. They will sit around screeching all day about muh bloat and how they free'd up their every thing, but they have no games and the performance is only the same when you're lucky, and its usually worse 99% of the time.
Windows is the GOAT for a reason.

>>717858265
Thank you, chat gpt running on data from 2015

>>717857079 (OP)
How are you guys doing on Linux these days? Any games you miss because they won't work for some reason?

I used to use Linux a lot for many years, and at the time Proton wasn't really a thing so the situation was more like "I go on winedb and manually follow the user submitted instructions for my game if it's (hopefully) submitted to the winedb." Nowadays I'm on a mac and the wine situation is mostly the same as it was on Linux in those days, but obviously everyone's been saying Proton is a lot better now.

I make six figures as a professional artist who needs the full Adobe suite running 24/7 so I am opposed to switching to Linux.

>>717858265
Proton you unapologetically addled mongoloid
Also windows is so bloated by Microsoft's own admission that Microsoft is reworking how shit is handled because it eats into the performance and battery life of handhelds
That's not snappy you fucking neanderthal, that's choking it and the only reason you don't feel it on a desktop is because it has enough power to power through the bloat

>>717858427
Cry about it more. Again. Try it yourself. You have nothing to lose. Go ahead and give it a whirl. I've nothing to prove. The reality is if Linux was superior the market would immediately reflect that. Especially after several decades. It's shit. It's simply shit. That's all there is to it an everyone knows it. Womp womp. Faggot.

>>717858639
>Any games you miss because they won't work for some reason?
Nope, not a single one, slop belongs in the trash.

>>717858747
TL:DR - I've said my piece. Kick scream and cry it out loser.

>>717858696
Then switch to Mac

>>717858752
I installed bazzite on a shitty craptop and it did so well that I'm ditching windows with my next hardware upgrade
Also the market wouldn't reflect that because normies don't know how to reinstall an os and that's where the windows market share comes from, laptops and prebuilts

>>717858696
I also use digital art tools in a non-hobbyist capacity and I'm on a mac where Adobe is available and even I don't use Adobe software. I just don't see the point in Adobe anymore.

>>717857151
>buh buh but muh battleflop

>>717858696
People who buy porn have low standards anyways, you could get away with the shittier linux alternatives if you really wanted to.

>>717858752
>The reality is if Linux was superior the market would immediately reflect that.
I somewhat agree with this sentiment, but there is another aspect to it where simply having to install an OS yourself is already a huge roadblock to most PC users who by majority have a sort of learned helplessness.

>>717857773
Eggs waiting to hatch, sister. Get the programmer socks ready

>>717858842
And your piece is retarded because your understanding of Linux comes from internet hearsay
So stfu, your hearsay means absolutely fuckall

>>717858639
I wanted to play Command : Modern Ops once, didn't work. Apparently it does now, I'll see about it next time I want to play it, I guess.

>>717858752
>he reality is if Linux was superior the market would immediately reflect that.
Then why are you gaming on a PC when console gaming is better?

>>717858639
It feels like lying but literally everything works that I want to play

>>717857370
>reddit users are fags
Whodathunk?

>>717858639
Everything has worked for me but I don't play competitive games
I kept windows installed just in case
its been 4 years and I haven't logged on to it a single time
Ultimately though this question is so varied depending on who you are and some games involve waiting a little bit for proton patches to release. For example, I couldn't play Monster Hunter Wilds immediately. It didn't take long to get fixed but that could be disappointing for some people in some circumstances.
However, even if I did jump over to windows whenever something like that happened, I would have only had to do so like once or twice, only for a brief period of time, in the last 4 years.
Your best bet to understand if it'll work out for you though is to just look up the games you play on https://protondb.com/

>>717858639
>>717859746
Do note however, some protondb entries are just kinda out of date if your game is more obscure
Proton improved at such a rapid rate, some games will be a lower rating because of reviews from like 1-2 years ago, even though it just werks now
Its mostly a good way to figure out what works though

>>717857079 (OP)

>>717860692
it's a f2p aaa game that has a free to play beta, of course it'll hit a lot of concurrent players.
whether it's a flop or not will be determined in the next few weeks if players stick around.

>>717860152
Yes? AMD gets massive gains on Linux. Nvidia gets massive drops. Anybody who has half a brain switched to AMD a decade ago.

>>717861448
>just accept worse performance

nah
also, fsr sucks cock still

>>717861428
Holy moly it's F2P? The absolute destruction BF5 has been to the brand. They think that shilling will solve it lmap

>>717861428
There's plenty of other F2P AAA games.

>>717860334
AMD is better than on Windows and NVIDIA isn't even so comically bad anymore

linux is still a giant fucking meme for gaming
i wish it wasnt

>>717861448
So say that faggot.

>>717861621
that's nice let me know when cuda works on amd and performance on amd is better than nvidida on both windows and some not-shit linux distro
until then ill stick with the company not nicknamed "Automated Money Destroyer"

>>717861672
No, it isn't, every game works but the spyware games purposefully made to spy on windows gamers.

dxvk and the german chad who wanted to play nier automata saved it ( and the wine developers who worked for 20 years before that) though I don't get the valve worship

>>717857079 (OP)
You only get performance gains if you're using AYYYMD.
Which i am, which is why i use linux.
If you're on nvidia, you're better of just using some stripped down version of Windows to not have a idiocracy computer.

>>717861976
you cant play modern release on linux and no im not only talking about EAC or other kernel-level bullshit, performance is just worse across the board in addition to having to troubleshoot things that should unironically just work, denying this is arguing in bad faith/retardation of "heh just dont play *those* games" when *those* games are over 50% of new releases

im no microkek lover and have used linux for well over 2 decades, and would love to just abandon windows, its absolutely embarrassing how linux hasnt taken more marketshare despite the absurd pajeetism that is windows 10/11
like amd, every single linux distro loves to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

go on /g/ right now and ask "hey what distro should i use for gaming and how do i set it up" the response will 100% be "lmao gaymer faggot", they dont give a shit about the hobby and likely never will

>>717862397

Nah, it isn't, also why do you post terry? He used ubuntu you wintard.

>>717862669
I run nvidia, go load up cyberpunk on windows 10 and linux mint, record the performance for us. It's the same.

>>717862846
this is a video game board anon, >>>/tv/ is down the hall and to the left

>>717862927
lol, I didn't play that shit, it was the benchmark to see if I should return my nvidia card or not. I didn't return it, every game benchmarked nearly the same on linux as it did on windows.

>>717862494
yes, it is, and you dont realize it until after you install the new release and get shafted even with all of steam's contribution to proton

>>717862846

>>717863576
In many aspects it is better than Windows 10/11.
But it is absolutely worse in others (file picker in particular).
And neither is as good as windows 7

Windows 11 is actually godlike. Maybe even revolutionary. Linux users are totally insane. Its not even close.

>>717863817
I do wish Steam hadn't changed their encoding.
Last few months half my games are "corrupted download" or "content unavailable" even though they still worked on Win7.

>>717864017

Based.

>>717864097
Ive tried both, sorry. Linux just isnt that impressive. Its a 90's OS and hasnt changed a bit. All it can do is poorly mimic windows at best and its not even good at itm

>>717864436
>It's a 90's OS
Exactly

>>717864436
>Its a 90's OS and hasnt changed a bit.
Exactly.
Windows is chasing every aids trend it can see, copying the worst of OSX, the worst of android, coming up with some shit ideas on it's own...
While linux is just a regular ass OS that don't get in your way every 10 seconds.

Win7 was perfect, but shareholders demanded to kill it to make (buzzword crap) instead.

windows is developed entirely by balpreets and baljindurs these days, no idea why people still use it

>>717857079 (OP)
I don't want wintards using my linux, they should all be raped on windows 11.

>>717864017
God I wish W11 was good, I've had it on my work laptop for maybe 8 months and it's fucking awful. Constant bugs logging in, fingerprint scanner literally never works, constant desktop crashes, drains my laptop battery even in sleep mode because Windows still has that same fucking sleep mode bug they've been trying to fix for like a decade now, the touch screen just randomly stops working and I have to reboot it if I want to use it again, etc. etc.
Genuinely worse than launch W8, which was the worst I thought an OS could get at the time.
As soon as my desktop W10 install can no longer launch Steam I'm done with Windows entirely.

>>717864802
>God I wish W11 was good
Wish in one hand, shit in the other

>>717861504
>just accept you cant do local ai on your own computer
AMD works decently with AI on linux specifically because of ROCM
Its still not ideal but you can do it nonetheless
I run ComfyUI, Koboldccp, Chatterbox-tts, and it works decently but definitely slower than nvidia. I've heard AMD is useless for AI on windows though.

>>717862397
List some games

>>717857079 (OP)
>linux runs ((most)) games better chud!!
>is unusable
not the time for linux yet

>>717865297
Malware that literally replace your memory management even when the game is not running like the valorant anti-cheat should not be considered to be ran on anything.

you will be back after realizing those comparisons are just a couple of cherrypicked games

>>717864436
Linux is a 90s OS that has been refined over and over into perfection like a blade.
Windows is a 80s OS with multiple layers of garbage tacked onto other layers of garbage with zero work done on the core.

Linux cannot take off until the community comes together to make a notWindows OS. People need a familiar look and feel but minus all the bloat and spyware, it also needs to just work like Windows does. If you need to mess around with configs, terminals and "haxx0r" shit, you're only appealing to a minority of people.

>>717866436
baby duck

>>717866745
Never even heard of it until now. Which is another issue, the Linux community need to rally round one OS and stick to it.

>>717866389
NT and Linux are about the same age, NT is slightly newer

If all the mentally ill people who use linux spent their time making it better instead of arguing like fanatics on every single online outlet they can find maybe it wouldn't be such an irrelevant operating system.

>>717859746
Let's check the latest games I've played.
>GW1 isn't on the list despite being available through steam, Bard's Tale is unplayable.
Thanks, I guess. If I ever want to play the latest slop, with slightly higher fps I'll let you know.

>>717858696
You're a professional artist... using windows? Every pro I know uses mac.

We won

>Any games you miss because they won't work for some reason?
I used to miss the AAA multiplayer shooters. But after reading what kernel level anticheat programs actually do, how much shit sticks around when you remove the game, how effective it actually is, and that they just aren't worth it, Im ready to tell the studios and publishers that release those games to go fuck themselves. I have played through much of my backlog that I've realized years ago that I don't need them. And theres cs and games with private servers that I can play to scratch that itch.

anyone with a 9070xt have any insight on its performance on linux? how close to parity with windows? does optiscale work for fsr4?

>ask for proof
>some retard here links a RDR2 video
>FPS is similar but both are unsynced gameplay fluctuating within a margin of error
>Linux even dips below Windows at several points
>the goalpost moves to "at least it's the same FPS"
I already have Windows. That's the point. I've been using the same Windows key for 15 years. Am I supposed to pretend I don't have it any more?

Windows gaming > console gaming > pajeet shit > troonix gayming

>>717870438
Fsr4 is still experimental, but seems to work. You need to build a version of mesa with radv-float-hack3 enabled, and then enable it in steam launch options. It will be added to mesa stable probably in the next major release.

>>717870690

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH. Yeah bro winemu (deadname) is so heckin' powerful with that ~20% overhead on a real resolution and not being able to even emulate programs that people use on a daily basis. Also those dynamically linked libraries just scream superiority when they fuck your shit up after some tranny decides to break an ABI. Superior performance by the way.

>>717881128
Meh, gaben probably doesn't do much anymore and is just a manager.
Linus already has Greg to replace him, but the Linux kernel is becoming more and more unmaintainable by the year, it will probably just get split off into multiple forks at some point, each offering a better use case for something different, like a tree for gayming, a tree for servers, etc. there's already hardened kernels and the cachyOS kernel seems to get some slight changes from mainline.

Jeets are super hardcore pro windows. Much like the techlets who shill nvidai, the pedophiles who shill Nintendo and the NPC consoomers who shill Apple

>>717881890
yummy anime chicka

>>717882786
Answer the question faggot
Why are you on Linux
I'm giving you a chance to make yourself look reasonable and you're trying to dodge it

>>717882846
You done seething at windows? What's your uptime linjeet?

>>717882912
Jeets don't use Linux, they exclusively use windows

>>717882912
My uptime is zero because I turn it off every night and I'm not a wasteful jeet
Now answer yours
Why are you on Linux if you insist on shitting on it at every step
What the fuck is your use case

>>717882242
Try force pushing the power supply connectors in the power supply and see if it fixes it

>>717882976
Statcounter disagrees linjeet.
>>717883006
>My uptime is zero
Typical linjeet. Can barely using troonix, so he just talks about using it instead. Sad. You should look up tutorials on jewtube that Rakeesh made for kali, linjeet.

>>717883140
>Can barely use troonix
fixed that for myself

Why are you guys arguing with this sperg who is just looking for any opportunity to call you an indian tranny. very creative

>>717883140
>still can't answer why he supposedly uses Linux
your supervisor is undoubtedly going to learn how his jeet minion is so illiterate he can't answer the one question that would give him a hint of legitimacy

>>717883392
Cope harder 0 uptime linjeet.

>>717883346
I bet he's the same guy that spergs out if you call wine not an emulator.

>>717883346
Most of /v/ gets it tech "knowledge" from Linus No-Tech Tits so you can image how difficult it is to discuss anything with a hint of seriousness

>>717883470

>>717883463
You've been checkmated retard
Any normal person would easily be able to answer this
Just goes to show how much of a third worlder you are if you can't honor someone answering your question by answering theirs

>>717883545
You have 0 uptime on your outdated stinkpad from the 00s, linjeet. Do better.

>>717881874
>freeze
unlikely to be a ram issue, you can try tweaking the OOM killer if you like, but the real solution is changing compositor - you can run games inside gamescope so if it krashes it won't krash your kde, or changing compositor to something more stable like mutter.

>>717857370
>3% trannies
In the general population it's what, about 0.1%?

>>717883619
Normal savings conscious people like to have things neatly solved and loose ends tied up which is why I turn off my pc, yes
Now tell the class why you're struggling to explain why you have Linux installed
This should be simple to answer

>>717882424
>binary blob chinkie glowware
we add fifty cent, your account big dollar boss man!

>>717883759
>I turn it off every night
Why do you even talk about using troonix when you don't even have any uptime lintranny? Are you a jeetdroid poster by chance?

>>717882786
I don't know what to tell you, unless you manage all your software yourself, this should virtually never be an issue you run into.
Anytime I run a full system upgrsde my package manager tells me all the stuff I have manually installed that is dependent on updated library and recompile them. If they're currently can't compile against it I can't easily fix it myself i just downgrade it back, flag it to not update and move on with my life.

>>717883918
Why are you using Linux

>>717883926
>unless you manage all your software yourself
Yeah you debug when shit breaks, and it does.
>this should virtually never be an issue you run into.
All of you linjeets are pieces of garbage who only know how to worship kike pedos and lie about the dynamically linked nature of linux based operating systems. Kill yourself in real life.
>>717883965
Why aren't you using troonix if you like it so much, linjeet?

>>717881874
>freezes the whole computer
Yeah, sounds like my experience with anything linux 10+ years ago. Glad to hear nothing changed.

>>717884119
But I am
I can explain my reasoning too if you wish, but only if you do so too

>>717884119
Wait till this guy learns what DLL stands for

>>717884165
>linux freezes
sysreq keys let you recover most of the time

>>717884225
You're a jeetdroid troonix shill at best. 0 uptime by the way.
>>717884249
Wait till I tell you about no multiversion support on troonix and having to downgrade and freeze packages constantly, you retarded linjeet.

>>717884316
Yes, zero uptime because I don't like having my pc running doing absolutely nothing and I'd rather let it rest
That's my reason
Now what's your reason for running Linux if you hate it so much?

>>717884414
So you're just a jeetdroid faggot shilling troonix on /v/ of all boards?

>>717883696
Switching distros is probably my next move if I can't fix this.
Bazzite is great when it works, but it's not working on my machine.

>>717884476
So you can't explain why you're running Linux in two sentences despite keeping up this charade for more than a dozen posts?
You're clearly on the backfoot, I have nothing to hide, I believe it'd be easier for everyone to get eased into Linux now than get dropped into boiling water when windows gets enshittified beyond recognition which it's already well underway to
I've undergone the growing pains already
See? I'm an open book yet you're hiding something so banal under dozens of insecure insults

>>717884637
>switching distro
won't change anything.
it's either a memory issue, a compositor issue, or a driver issue.

>>717884702
You're just a retarded linjeet that shills troonix as political virtue signaling. I use dwm and dmenu as my workflow. I don't a shit if it's on troonix or bsd, but troonix does have better gpu drivers. No fuck off back to >>>/g/ lintranny.

>>717884476
>linux is for jeets
gfy

>>717884972
Yeah winemu is the future saar. Linux gaming was tried before and abi breakage because of libraries constantly changing without the option to have multiple versions killed native linux games, just like it kills native linux programs to this day. It all just rots if you don't use a container because troonix is made and standardized by retarded niggers who don't use computers.

>>717884937
You can literally specify the file location for a library that an executable will access. You can also just toss the desired .so file into it's folder. Steam literally does this with it's runtime.

>>717885143
>muh based commie faggot reaction image
Fuck of linjeet. Maybe if you didn't sperg out with gayland, nvidia would have stable drivers on troonix that just work.

>>717885172
The native package manager should handle that, not manual symlinking.

>>717885163
It's not realistic to expect the entire industry to adopt Linux compatibility overnight, that's fucking dumb and no one has enough money to do that and the customer base is currently too slow
Bridging the gap with proton is absolutely necessary until valve can make Linux attractive enough to laptop and prebuilt makers where they choose to save money on licenses and developers see that native Linux is worth it
Besides proton is only 6 years old and it has only picked up steam when the deck launched
Give it 10 more years and it'll look even better compared to the even more decrepit windows 12 subscription hell

>>717885562
too small not too slow

>>717885347
Use a distro with a package manager that supports multiple package versions (it exists) or just use flatpak for everything since you want the windows experience.

>>717885235
>corporations support communism with hundreds of billions of dollars

>>717885562
>It's not realistic to expect the entire industry to adopt Linux compatibility overnight
It was tried and it failed. Everything is versioned, but the binaries are dynamic. This is why the standard troonix distribution is shit.
>Give it 10 more years
Should I give wayland 15 more years too?
>>717885619
>just use the cope fagpak container by red hat that uses the native glibc, so your shit still gets fucked anyways
>since you want the windows experience
So you're saying the windows experience is when your binaries just work and you have multiversion support. Troonix BTFO. What a self own. Still no portable binaries elfs after 3 decades. What a joke of a toy os.

>>717885705

>>717885803
It was tried eons ago when windows 7 was in its heyday and that was a completely unwinnable battle
Times change
Valve has made miraculous progress with proton whether you want to admit it or not
Every single year windows gets worse while Linux gets better

>>717886020
>Times change
Winemu is still a piece of shit and programs still rot to this day. Nothing ever changes when it comes to troonix. I guess the number of linux users in India skyrocketing is the only change after 30 years.

>>717858639
It actually works gaben did it

>>717886152
>Going from 5% to 90+% in 6 years is bad because it's not 100%
That's a stupid attitude to have
Winds are obviously shifting now, the deck is a bellwether of things to come, the proportion of Linux users has gone up significantly and valve has the pull to make it big

>>717862397
Really? Overall I felt like performance for most games improved ever since I switched to Arch/Cachy. Not by a great margin, but somewhere around 5 to 10%. I lock most my stuff at 60 so it's hard to tell, but I see way less frame dips or stutter.
I don't really care for any multiplayer kernel level anti cheat game so I didn't really miss anything. Only games that give me bad performance are UE5 titles but I think that would happen even on Windows.

That being said Linux is not user friendly at all and I'm one of the peons that wants shit to just werk out of the box. Having to crack open the command line is insanely cringe and I don't like doing it. Also I had to try about 3 different distros before landing one that didn't seem buggy and held together with duct tape. Currently using Bazzite which is performing fine but I'm still remaining cautious. Installing Bazzite was a confusing busted mess in and of itself

>>717886786
Yeah based weinstein will save me from gabekike stealing my software keys.

anyone else having massive screen tearing in linux mint + cinnamon?
it doesn't really happens in kde

>>717886993
They don't exactly do that unless you're buying from obviously suspicious key resellers
Besides it's still significantly better than the console situation where you have to completely mindrape it to get any recourse for corporate abuse, whereas on pc piracy is always an option

>>717887142
Yeah pc gaming is so based dude. Gayben just steals your key all for himself and you have to run a webgl bitcoin miner in the background to launch your exe.

>>717887041
KDE typically uses Wayland which has vsync. I think mint is on x11. Dunno if that has vsync.

only true if you're on an AMD gpu
Nvidia drivers are absolute shit on linux and you get less performance compared to windows

>>717891935
Currently true but that's just the nature of switching OS's
It working well does not mean what you have works well
In the same way a Windows user buys nvidia over AMD, a linux user buys AMD over nvidia

>>717892181
Nvidia holds more than 90% of the dedicated gpu marketshare. these people are not going to switch to an OS that hinders their performance.

>>717892378
If that's their mindset then they were never going to change their OS ever anyways
The idea that what works well on one OS works just as well on another does not exist anywhere in tech and people only pretend this makes sense when criticizing Linux. Linux can run quite well, the idea that it will magically work well with what you exactly happen to have right this second is bit shakier. But this is obvious and true for any change in OS period including other versions of the current OS you use. If this is a hangup then the very premise of changing your OS does to appeal to you and I have no idea why you're talking about other os's at all to begin with.

I honestly really want to make the jump to Linux. Decided to look into Wine compatibility for games I'd like to play and there are still too many issues to justify it. I can just install these games on shitty Win10/11 and they'll at least just work. Once I can do the same on Linux I'll be there.

>which has on-going issues for that game.
I've been playing Wc3 exclusively with Wine using PlayOnLinux in the past 8 years (I switched to Bottles 3 years ago). The only issue that game ever had was the inability to play the 4-5 pre-loaded cinematics, which I've been told work fine now. The workaround for those is to just delete the .mpq video files (or whatever the extension for them is).
And yes, I'm playing the 1.26a version too.
>Lutris
I don't use this because all their installers make random assumptions. Just use Bottles and install the game as you would on Windows, under a wineprefix/bottle.

>>717907045
Again, that's because nobody uses this site. I mean fuck, it says "Latest Wine Version Tested: 6.1.1". That was released half a decade ago or something.
Just trust me when I say, I've been playing this game since Wine 4 was still a thing. During Wine 4-6 era, the only issue was the cut scenes not playing and the world editor having black bars over some UI elements. The editor issue was resolved somewhere in Wine 7 or 8, and the cut scene issue I'm not sure about since I always delete them just in case.

>>717881890

>>717907187
I was looking at the known bugs sections which includes things like the keyboard becoming unresponsive and sound issues. Given how out of date this site apparently is, are there any out there that could give a better idea of how certain games would run if I installed Linux today? Or would I really just need to test things myself? Wish I had a spare PC to do this with.

>>717907372
use protondb. winehq needs an overhaul because their report system sucks balls.
most games work ootb on linux these days, with one big exception being multiplayer games with anti cheat.

I used to mess around with Ubuntu builds and would constantly try to "update" kde to the latest version, and end up fucking up X completely.

Also, trying to install a modest gpu driver and fucking up X so much you're just left with a terminal and have to use some shit like emacs to edit the xconf it's a fucking nightmare and huge waste of time in general.

Linux is kind of a meme. Yes, you have to be smart to use it, but when you take a step back and realize you're having to spend two fucking days on doing something like updating a graphics driver is fucking ridiculous and such a waste of time.

It would have to have a huuuge performance difference , much more than what is shown in OP's pic, to convince me to jump back into all that.

Mind you, this was all around 18-20 years ago.

Tranny at my pharmacy made so many problems for the customers they don’t put him at the register anymore.

>>717907445
Alright, I'll look into that. Everything else about Linux seems amazing, it's just the game compatibility has always made me hesitant.

>>717907372
I'm not aware of any other website used for tracking Linux compatibility. The only thing you have is ProtonDB
https://www.protondb.com/

But even it gets out of date when it comes to less popular games. For example, there are some games which started working perfectly as of Proton 9 or Proton 10 (currently in beta), but the last reports were users flagging it as a "Bronze" game and it was only tested with Proton 7.
Also, you'll see Steam Deck reviews by default, which are often also concerned with "does this game work with the joystick".
Compatibility has been improving rapidly in the past 5-6 years. I have around 350 PC games across GOG and Steam, they all work as of the release of Proton 10.

>>717907470
LOL the same thing happened at my local cannabis dispensary. They quite literally keep them in the basement and don't allow them to come upstairs to the counter anymore. Haven't seen this person in months, but I know they still work there. I guess they are trimming buds or something now- because of so many customer complaints or some shit. I heard that they had a bad attitude or something.

>>717907573
Did you ever dabble with stuff like getting Red Book CD audio working for older games? On Windows I use something like _inmm.dll or winmm.dll and it's great. Recently did that with Age of Empires 1 so I could play vanilla with the CD music (Upatch works but only supports the game with Rise of Rome installed) but I have no idea if these custom dll solutions would also work on Linux

>>717906856
it was an open beta weekend. as in free for a few days.
there's another one in a few days if you want a chance at trying the kernel spyware for yourself before buying it.

>>717907573
>I'm not aware of any other website used for tracking Linux compatibility. The only thing you have is ProtonDB
By this, what I mean is tracking Wine compatibility specifically. Proton is just Wine+, but it's only used as a default runner on Steam. Other GUIs (Bottles, Lutris) default either to Wine or Soda, or whatever the Lutris script selects.

>>717907536
Also keep in mind that ProtonDB reports are mainly focused on "I open Steam, I click Install, I click Play, does it work?". And a lot of Linux native games actually either don't work or have issues, but going into settings and selecting "Force the use of Proton" fixes all the issues. So, you'll have a better experience running Windows versions with Wine/Proton than you will running native Linux versions.

>>717891840
So those 500K+ numbers on Steam were falsified? Damn

>>717907843
lutris defaults to Proton-GE these days which is basically bleeding edge proton with a few patches like wine-wayland.

>>717905027
Based nooticer

>>717907802
>have no idea if these custom dll solutions would also work on Linux
If it's a common dependency you can install it inside Bottles like this
>Bottles > (click on your bottle/wineprefix) > Options > Dependencies
And here you can install shit like specific fonts, dotnet versions, dx versions, Adobe AIR Runtime, etc.

If you already have a .dll and it's not available in the "Dependencies" section, you can just open the bottle/wineprefix and copy-paste the file where needed

It will open the equivalent of the C:\ drive on Windows, with all the same folders. So it's just a matter of doing the same thing you do on Windows.

>>717907954
That's neat. I haven't used Lutris in a few years so I didn't know about this. Last time I used it it was way too confusing to install things yourself, so I stayed on PlayOnLinux until Bottles was released.
The only thing I used Lutris for was league of legends which I stopped playing years ago anyways.

>>717909281
Nobara is just a buggy version of Bazzite. Expect it to get fucked up after each major upgrade (every 6 months or so).
Aside from that, it's fine.

I have zero experience with this stuff and just want a smooth transition from Windows. I heard that Linux Mint is great all-around for newcomers, but some people were claiming that if I want to play games, I should really consider something like Bazzite. Can I easily get Mint running games as well as Bazzite or is it really just not as good at that no matter what? Should also mention that I'm using Intel/Nvidia since they've been fine on Windows, but I'm worried about the stuff I've read about how it's better to go all AMD for Linux to avoid performance issues- any truth to that?

>>717909598
I'm actually coming from bazzite after not being able to figure out why a lutris game wouldn't stop freezing and crashing the system (more like slowing down to the point of being unusable)

>>717909936
the distro doesn't change much the wine compatibility. the compositor a bit.
what matters is your drivers, your hardware, the wine version (or proton...) and the dlls installed.

>>717910124
yeah I'm too retarded for that shit, if my trial run here survives for more than a day then I'm gonna pat myself on the back, if not then I'll have to dust off the old ball gag and sit through a billion windows updates again

>>717910530
try wine. try wine-staging. try proton. try protonGE.
if none of those work, scratch the game off your list and move on.

>>717909863
Linux mint is great for non-gaming purposes or maybe hardware that's about 2 years old or older. It is based on Ubuntu, and a specific long term support version of Ubuntu which is of now is only a little over a year old. If you have newer hardware, something like bazzite will have Nvidia drivers, and newer Nvidia drivers at that. Mint may have the proprietary Nvidia drivers available, or they may use nvk. Nvk is new but I don't think it's ready to game yet.

>>717910792
Is there a distro that is good for newbies and gaming and also allows you to just start tinkering with things once you feel like you're ready? Bazzite seems like it's intentionally locked-down to prevent any issues

>>717911857
get regular distros and just install a few extra gaming packages, there's nothing hard about it, a few examples:
fedora, ubuntu, opensuse

>>717907573
There's also wineHQ tracker, which is similar, less users but has non-steam games like some VNs. For which there's also this
https://www.vnwiki.xyz/visual-novel-compatibility-list.html

>>717909936
Could just be an issue of your RAM filling up. I don't use Lutris so I have no idea why it would cause your games to freeze. Did you try out Bottles instead?

>>717911857
>Bazzite seems like it's intentionally locked-down to prevent any issues
It's not really. It's just the GUI that doesn't let you tinker much.
You can install shit system wide with rpm-ostree in the terminal.
You can install a distro within Bazzite using distrobox, and then install any compatible packages. If anything using Distrobox is ideal for tinkering because you don't risk bricking your system.

>>717911970
Alright, the discussion out there about certain distros being not as good for gaming had me confused, I guess they mean certain ones are better out of the box

>>717891935
doesn't that mean that AMD is 15-30% faster than Nvidia then? because the AMD windows driver is on par or better than the Nvidia windows driver and the AMD linux driver is doing better like way better

>>717912105
>I guess they mean certain ones are better out of the box
that's pretty much it, the entire linux ecosystem uses the same packages.
just make sure you don't get something outdated, like mint or ubuntu LTS. for gaming you want recent drivers, especially if you have recent hardware.

>>717891935
Is the Nvidia driver thing true across the board, or mostly an issue with cutting-edge hardware? I have an old 1070ti build I was thinking of trying with Linux to test things out with

>>717912208
Mint, ubuntu or even debian work fine for gaming
>the entire linux ecosystem uses the same packages
some distros offer x86_64-v3 packages, which can be slightly faster.

>>717912105
I would classify that as misinformation. The only distros you could argue aren't great for gaming are LTS distros, but even then it's not really true - it's more so they stuck for desktop use in general because your software is outdated. Gaming is the only thing where your software typically won't be outdated.

>>717912105
Some distros have older kernels. In Linux your hardware support is tied to the Linux kernel. If you have newer hardware, you will need a newer kernel. Some distros allow you to install newer kernels but usually not out of the box. the Linux kernel also sees new features being added. Like file systems see speed increases as the kernel gets updated. AMD and the new open source Nvidia drivers see upgraded performance. Distros based off LTS distros like mint don't see updated kernels as often. Bazzite being based off fedora gets updated kernels pretty regularly

I feel like you retards where either lying or are still stuck at around 2000 where Linux actually was autist only territory. I didnt even get one of the dedicated gayman distros and everything just works.

>>717912627
Mint updates kernel once every 6 months tho. Why are you niggers always spreading FUD?

>>717912627
That's not completely accurate. For example, I tested Ubuntu LTS and Mint on my computer. From what I remember, both had the 6.8 kernel but Mint detected my network hardware fine whereas Ubuntu did not. So the kernel version is only a part of the story. How the kernel has been modified by the distro is far more important.

>>717912691
Which build did you go with, and what your GPU?

>>717912730
Based on a quick Google search mint only uses LTS kernels by default. That's one new kernel a year. It's the last kernel(or sometimes the first if it's released soon enough after New Year's.) of the year.

>>717912730
mint is about to upgrade to 6.14, and that's the HWE mint version, so the base is even more outdated.
bleeding edge kernel is 6.16. like it or not, mint is behind, and that's true for most of their packages.

>>717912730
It doesn't. It's directly based on Ubuntu LTS, which gets feature updates every 2 years. Mint "updating" every 6 months is just relevant to some packages and they just push up the default pre-installed package versions in their .iso.

>>717858639
I don't play any competitive shooter or Riot shit so everything that I've tried works. Even setting up mods with mods managers for games.

>>717912969
They abolished HWE/Edge, new kernel with every release is the default now. On already installed system, you could update to 6.14 a month or two ago.

>>717912927
Fedora 42 with latest Mesa, RX 9070 (non xt). Didnt even try Proton GE and just left it at experimental. My only problem would be that I yet have to find out how to use FSR4. Also Raytracing is disabled, but I wouldnt use it anyway, so fuck it.

I think a lot of people who complain about Linux performance must be coming over from Windows using Nvidia, and they're right that performance is often noticeably worse in that case. Something that doesn't get mentioned often enough is that if you're interested in gaming, you should really consider getting an AMD GPU first. It's not required but recommended unless Nvidia drivers get better for Linux, no sign of that happening.

>>717913604
They are getting better, but nvidia in typical nvidia fashion is also giving you wonderful bugs and problems to deal with.

>>717862306
without vulkan you would not have dxvk so I think at the very least you need to say thank you to AMD as well
Vulkan is especially cool for emulators

I've tried different proton versions back in bazzite and a few of them has the issue persisting while most other ones won't even boot the game. never tried wine yet since I can't get steaminput to work with it so my gamepad is all borked.

>>717912069
is it normal for it to get maxed out? granted I only have 16GB but I ran memtest and there weren't any errors. what's really peculiar is that it only does the slowdown -> freeze combo on the second run of the offending lutris game after I turn my pc on after a full shutdown (usually forced ones due to said freezes).

I'll check bottles out if it still happens, thanks.

>>717909936
What kernel? I have a suspicion that 6.15 kernels have some kind of a bug in them that can cause freezes in certain conditions.

This. Linux is NOT for Windows users looking for more of the same. It's better to stick with Windows 11. If you want to get into Linux you have a lot of learning to do and you'll need to accept that gaming has come a long way but has a long way to go still to be as good as it is on Windows. Don't even bother if you have an Nvidia card.

>is it normal for it to get maxed out?
Normally an OS would have a swap file/partition to dump RAM into, and it would have an OOM service which kills processes if your OS starts running out of RAM.
I would only expect your system to freeze if you've disabled swap during the install process.

IB4 I get shit on, I'll just say, that I've been using a PC since 1991. I work at a software company as technical/soulution architect; I design apps, write code, solve people's stupid ass problems for 8 or more hours a day. If I'm to use a computer or any electronic device in my free time, it's going to be for fun, otherwise I'd just work out, read a book or ride my bike in the woods. I used to do that research and tinkering shit for games and software for most of my younger years and all I'm going to say is, I consider it stupid and a waste of time. You can hype up Linux all you want, but most people consider a PC a tool to do things, not a hobby-piece to customize and problem solve so they can brag about being smart online. Also ask youself, if you spend hours of your day tinkering with a device to just use it effectively, are you really that smart?

Yeah OK, just google 'win 11 debloat script'. I get it Win 11 has shit in it, still removing it now takes less time than solving any potential Linux issue. Also most Linux distros have bloat too. Mint has got tons of shit no normal user would ever need.

>>717922965
If you're referring to >>717922859
I did read the rest of your post. Mint is not only always outdated as fuck since it's on an LTS release schedule, but their DE is also a niche non-standard DE (why the fuck are you not on KDE or GNOME like 90% of Linux users).
You're trying to use a distribution which is basically made for Windows XP/7 boomers who don't even own any of those devices nor do they use filters in games or even know what filters are.

I'm just immediately discrediting your post because your first instinct was apparently to check out Arch for whatever the fuck reason.

I tried Arch first since all the fucking shills are saying how it's bleeding edge and best for gaming (Steam OS is Arch-base, no?). Couldn't get internet on it, so I went with Mint, since it's the last distro I used a few years back and I'm familiar with it (an outdated version is still present on my dads laptop and I am now certain this distro has declined).
You can discredit my post all you want, but the reality is, all the shills will tell you to pick the distro you like or that they recommend for your needs etc, or whatever, but my point is simple; first Linux I've tried was Mandrake and later Mandriva back in... IDK ancient times and honestly it was way less effort than current-day Debian, Mint, Ubuntu, PopOS or any Arch based shit. My point is not that I cannot use Linux, my point is that it's FUCKING WORK I have to do instead of playing games. Fuck, you can get a chinkheld with a bunch of retro games and customizing that shit is less time than setting up a Linux distro for gaming.

I dislike MS as much as the next guy, but don't tell me your jank OS, retarded elitism, so-called security with package repos being stored on University FTS and general lefty politics being a hot topic recently is a viable alternative to just turning my computer on and running a game.

>>717923923
It's not, but apparently 81 is all you need to realize that Linux is a waste of time. Makes if you think about it, all those people doing work, developing and using a jank OS for free in their free time. No wonder Windows, an OS made developed by pajeets is dominating the market.

>>717924557
>but don't tell me your jank OS, retarded elitism, so-called security with package repos being stored on University FTS and general lefty politics being a hot topic recently is a viable alternative to just turning my computer on and running a game.
Why are you sperging out? I'm using Linux just fine and I never had to configure anything. It's literally as simple as
>1. download Bazzite
>2. install it
>3. everything just works and the OS stays out of your way


>you can get a chinkheld with a bunch of retro games and customizing that shit is less time than setting up a Linux distro for gaming.
Sure, you can also get a Steam Deck and have a Linux gaming system already set up for you. Also, several "chinkhelds" run Linux instead of Android.
