Why aren't you gaming on linux? Most apps beside very professional level software just werks and gaming just werks. Even the scaling and desktop feel is better than windows 11
>>109170754Performance is better on Windows overall.
>>109170754Swedes didn't port my DAW to Linux yet, and I can only afford one high-spec machine for both gaming and audio right now.>inb4 dual bootNo.
>>109170754around half the games I regularly play still use bullshit anticheat which nobody cares enough to support on linuxno, I'm not going to just play different games, your shit either works with what I actually use my computer for or it doesn't
>>109170754because gayming is for losers
>>109170754I don't game anymore, but I do use Linux.
>>109170754I am gaming on linux but nobody knows that because I block network access for those games so they can't send their telemetry shit.
what game should I play from 2000-2010just got a new linux gaming chromebook
>>109170754im paid to work on desktop linux and i still refuse to over game on this shit. It's like you purposely shoot yourself for "freedom".games work best on, were tested on and were developed on windows, so I'm going to use windows to play them. IDGAF about "FOSS" or "Microsoft bad". I use linux for work, I use windows for gaming, I use discord to talk to myself. Stop being retarded and use the best tool for the job
So how is steamOS now? I head claims with the new updates for that little box that it's really good now.
>>109170928*to my friends
>>109170754but I do. am currently playing Detroit, good bideo geym
>>109170754I'm too lazy to convert my drives away from NTFS. I heard the newest Linux NTFS driver is as fast as any other filesystem so perhaps now is the right time? I just don't want to find out that it's unstable and will lose all my data. If I uninstall all muh games, I'll probably have enough storage to convert everything. But that's a hassle. And what if it doesn't work out and I want to go back to Windows? And there will be software that I need to dual boot Windows for, anyway. I know there's a BTRFS driver for Windows, but eh...It's all just annoying. For now, staying on Win10 is easier.
>>109170928better framerate on linux
>>109170754I just don't care enoigh to
OS doesnt matter if you just play games, watch videos, read stuff. Using the computer like a boomer and not thinking about this highly neurotic garbage that stresses you is best
>>109170754>Why aren't you gaming on linux?I just really like using Windows
>>109170951>"oh my reddit, minecraft has 203 fps on linux instead of 201 on windows, let me handicap myself"
>>109170940I had problems with mounting my external ntfs drive with the new driver and had to go back to the old, slow one. The new driver always marked my drive as "broken" and that it needed fixing but I could only do that by plugging it into Windows and running a lengthy scan and repair. When I plug it into Linux again it would then instantly break the drive and refuse to mount again so there was no real solution. In the past I could still mount it and just ignore the warning since it was a false alarm anyway but they later changed it to refuse to mount alltogether with a kernel update. The real problem is that it always gives the external drive a "dirty" flag which then needs fixing in Windows. My internal ntfs drive was somehow not affected by this.And I read that the new ntfs driver had some issues with data loss at first but I think that has been ironed out by now (hopefully).
>>109171147press shift+shutdown or disable hibernate clown
>>109170754What distro thoughever
>>109171161just use arch like everyone else, you are not a special snowflake
>>109171147Looks like I'm right to wait, then. Hopefully, these will have been ironed out by next year.
>>109170754>Why aren't you gaming on linux?Fortnite?Apex Legends?Rainbow Six Siege? PUBG? Delta Force?Battlefield 5, 6 and One?Call of Duty?Z1? Sorry, if I can't play with my friends, then Linux is trash. These aren't small unknown games, they are some of the biggest globally.
>>109171199you stink pretty good i can smell it through the screen
>>109171199keeping triple AAA battle royale anticheat infested slop away from linux is a great feature, you wouldn't understand.
>>109171245Battlefield 1 running on linux is the main reason I switched my main gaming pc to linux. Ironically its the one game I have to boot windows for now. The new anti cheat works ok, very rarely see cheaters these days. worth the separate windows drive.
>>109170754Linux has no backwards compatibility, my games won't work in 5 years time.>protonproton relies on glibc ultimately which breaks compatibility>flatpaksflatpaks are a mess, no thanks.
>>109171288Huh? You installed Linux on your PC specifically because the one game you want to play Does NOT run on it?
>>109171161Linux Mint is pretty much the standard but CachyOS and Q4OS work, too
>>109171345it used to work before they added the new anti cheat
>>109170754W11 works absolutely fine and I see zero reason to switch.
>>109171325This is exactly why Valve came up with the Steam Linux runtimes. These provide a namespaced environment where all the libraries are static and they will remain the same for years to come. Proton also starts in a Linux runtime environment so i too will keep on running.It does basically the same thing Microsoft does with WinSxS, except as a real OS feature rather than a compatibility hack and you only need one copy of the libraries, not a dozen.
>>109171363I see, that makes sense. That's unfortunate.
I expect once steamos gets popular enough, anticheat peddlers will have to figure out a way that works on linux.still don't wanna play these type of games though.
>>109170754I don't play games anymore, and I use PaintTool Sai 2
>>109170754>Why aren't you gaming on linux?I am. :)OpenMW runs more stable than the original Morrowind.Guild Wars Reforged runs in wine. I get a kick out of running it in FVWM. :)Both using Alsa for sound, thank you very much. :D
>>109171378packing the same userspace over and over again is not a good solution for compatibility. I don't want 100 versions of glibc or the entire goddamn userspace duplicated for compatibility sake.Linux should have a sane userspace in the first place.
>>109171385the upside is that cheaters are very rare now. I did see an invisible guy running incredibly fast yesterday but they used to be on every non-community server 24/7
>>109171240>linux user advising others on hygienelole>>109171245>not being able to play with friends is le good ackshually!
>>>/v/742276292Lots of games don't support limiting frame rates, or require VSync (yuck!). I also like ShadowPlay, it's really good. And then there's anticheat problems. There are actually a billion problems. Also you cannot play awesome games like SS13 or Distant Worlds: Universe. It's better to just dual boot.
>>109170754proton really is an amazing piece of work anything from rpg maker games from 10-20 years ago to the new resident evil at launch ran (mostly) fine, RE9 had a small shader issue that was patched in a week or two after release
>>109171463>"play with friends">having to play on master servers full of strangers and therefore requiring anticheatanon, I don't think they are your friends.
Use case for Linux when everything already works fine on Windows?
Never had any problems with windows 11 (despite annoying UI) but after debloat it satisfies me. I can play all the oldies but goldies via emulation so I'm good for now. If shit really hits the fan then I will switch.
but I am? cachyOS here, been able to run any game I want so far, the only ones I can't are because of my own laziness to configure than inability to emulate it.
>>109171568>you can't just form a lobby with your friends and join a game together>you can't just not cheat!
>>109171161>What distro thougheverAny of them, you don't need a meme gamimg distro. I game just fine with Debian and an RX6600XT
>>109170775switched to Bitwig and it's been a wonderful experienceonly Plugins are hit or miss, yabridgectl wine(Bottles) works with many but some don't
We mustn't allow Steam to come to GNU/LinuxSteam is an online service by Valve Corporation which allows you to purchase and download games that you access by signing in to an account. According to their user agreement, access to games is associated with the account, not the computer. But before you sign up, I urge you to take a look at the subscriber agreement first. You may not like what you find: DRM and several violations of the four freedoms.As far as I can tell, the software even won't work on my operating system. It only works for Windows and Mac.You must have an Internet connection to play your games.People can't offer it in Internet cafes (no commercial usage):"Agreement does not allow you to exploit the Steam Software or any of its parts for any commercial purpose including, but not limited to, use at a Cybercafe"**You're forced to install Steam's software updates onto your computer.You're only permitted to use Steam Software how Steam says you can.You do not own the games you buy:"The Steam Software is licensed, not sold. Your license confers no title or ownership in the Steam Software."You're not allowed to modify Steam Software.You are not allowed to re-sell your game.Steam is a perfect example of how DRM curtails your rights.
>>109171641steam drm is only a tiny obstacle.1. download your purchased game using steam.2. replace steam_api libraries with goldberg emu3. play the game without steam forever.
>>109171612Vulkan translation is better than directX on AMD, less stutters, smoother frametimesKDE wayland is a superior desktop experience, smoother than windows, seamless scaling for 4K, unified intuitive settings that isnt a dumpster fire like windows 11Privacy, No spying, More secure.But you already knew all that, considering you are in a linooox thread.>>109171199Hunt ShowdownArma ReforgerHelldivers 2Arma 3Arc RaidersCounters Strike 2War ThunderSea of ThievesDeep Rock GalacticDead By DaylightTF2Payday 2The FinalsMonster Hunter WildsDayzPlenty of multiplayer games work on linux. The 10% that dont actively choose not to support linux and remove support will be isolated insane devs who will be seen as anti linux activists and have some deeper agenda tied to banning it. They will be ostracized.
>>109171590>when everything already works fine on Windows?I wouldn't move on to Linux if that's the case.If you're hosting a VPS, Linux is the default choice unless you want to pay $20 extra per month for windows loicense.
>>109171403>packing the same userspace over and over again is not a good solution for compatibility.Works for Windows
>on linux open a simple menu, 200% scaling, everything just werks and is properly scaled thanks to wayland, easily set color profiles and refresh rate>on windows 11, go through 3 menus and vague settings to maybe change your refresh rate, if you're lucky>the scaling looks like garbage anyways
>>109171768KDE is already better than windows 11 by a lot, maybe not on the stability as windows 7 or 10 yet, but its 80% of the way there. KDE 7 will probably be the best version yet, and valve pouring money into steamOS/KDE devs now that no one will buy their hardware is even more likely.
>>109171776>kde>betterwindows is shit but at least doesnt krash when you look at it weird>KDE 7 will probably be the best version yetKDE 7 will come when Qt decides to releae Qt 7 and KDE will be a broken mess until 7.3.0 again (last KDE 5 release was the stablest release they've ever had and ruined it all for 6)
>>109171790KDE 6.8 will be a broken mess when they drop X11 for good. Let alone KDE 7
>>109170754>gaming just werksI am mostly gaming on linux but that's the biggest lie told. Many games just work but a majority of the games require some kind of launch command to get the optimal outcome, depending on the distro you basically need to go into high performance mode too or some gaming mode if they have it.
>>109171184>just use arch like everyone elseyou mean mint
>>109171724Why do Lincux always do this?They always give a list of other things that are completely unrelated to things you want to do as if they're drop-in replacements.>lol just use Krita + GIMP instead of Photoshop bro>just use LibreOffice despite it not being anywhere close to Microsoft Office and having no PivotTables or PowerQuery>just play these other games instead of what you want to play bropathetic really
>>109171910because if you want to take control of your life, you have to be choosy with things you interact with rather than eat up everything you've been given by entities above.this applies to both hardware and software.
>>109171925>I'm so choosy with what I interact with>I'm such a free thinker for using Linux and getting away from those entities above!
ultramarine just works btw
>>109171986Trolling is supposed to be subtle, zoomie.
>>109172053trannyware>>109171925>"unlike you goy, im a free thinker">just replaced microsoft and apple with redhat and valve
>>109171910Because regardless of what you think these are minority problems. There's only like 8 notable multiplayer games that dont work, and two of them apex legends and rust used to work with linux. Yes fortnite, pubg and and cawadooty do have kernel level anticheats and they are popular, but you should not play them because they boycott linux, so you should boycott them as well. Especially with better multiplayer games available.95% of games work on linux because its just translatingAs for the photoshop problems, not really a problem 98% of people arent professional creators where its a big deal where their work requires it.As for libreoffice, look nothing in your life is that important to where you NEED a certain piece of software.That goes for all this, if a software is dictating your life, maybe you should find a fix for that.
>>109172060>an official list of corporate sponsors of loonix is now "trolling">you are le zoomer!
>>109172098>if a software is dictating your life, maybe you should find a fix for that.>he says while autistically defend loonix and telling everyone else their behaviour needs to changelol
>>109170929It's been perfectly cromulent as a desktop environment whenever my Steam Deck makes me use it. Seems like if you're in that ballpark you should be looking at either CachyOS for a more free-range OS or at SteamOS for an immutable one.
>>109170754>Why aren't you gaming on linux?Because W11 just werks for me. The best possible outcome from switching to Linux would be having the same experience I already do now, but only after investing significant time and effort into making everything work.
>>109171545I'm really impressed by how Proton Just Werks for old shit, loads of stuff with compatibility problems on modern Windows will Just Werk on Linux through Proton.
>>109170754>Most apps beside very professional level software just werksyeah that's exactly why I won't use it.
>>109172257why did you show a prototype jelqing machine?
>>109172257nice chastity cage
>>109170775you can use reaper on linux
Incompatibility with programs I use.
>>109170929why do you need to use steamOS specifically, it's just a modified arch for couch/handheld gaming, you can just use cachyOS if you want to use an arch based distro meant for desktops.
>>109171046Slave
>>109171199Notice how none of those games are good. Linux plays Parasite Eve II without any issue.
Because I have a job
>>109173619Then you should already have a work laptop and are free to use linux on your personal devices
>>109170754windows just werksi have multiple computers my gaming computer runs windows and is headless. it’s basically a console i can access anywhere with zero issues my server runs linux cause that’s what linux is for and best atmy daily driver desktop is a m4 mac mini because that is what mac is for and best atmy phone is iphone because it just werks and i’m too old now to care about any of the “benefits” of android. i doom scroll twitter, shitpost here, and talk to my friends and ai agent through discord.
