Honestly, I'm thinking about it. What I think I'm going to do as part of my new year's resolution is I'm going to go through all of my Steam and GoG and other computer games that say "no support on Linux" and play through those.Problem is that I have no way to systematically go through teh GoG games to tell me which ones don't have good Linux support.

>>729748470I've found that if it isn't a multiplayer game with anti-cheat you can generally assume it justwerks (if you have AMD, with Nvidia it justwerks*). Multiplayer games with anticheat will either justwerk or notwerk at all. I installed this because I wanted to tinker around with shit whenever it broke but years on now and I have had to do less tinkering than I did with windows. Like it's actually slightly frustrating that whenever I think I might have some problem that will require me to actually dig in and learn linux a bit there's always something on AUR that just does it for me.

>>729748979>>729749103The bigger issue is that most Indian traffic is phone browser based, so what the graph is really tracking is user agent spoofing in response to websites blacklisting specific user agents or only allowing traffic from user agents on a whitelist. Unknown OS in this case is just an unrecognized user agent, likely from some random new phonebrowser that is mainly used in the Indian market or preloaded on an Indian shartphone.This is also why it can often vary so wildly.

>>729750782Arch works in a virtual machine, CachyOS does not, or at least not without specific tweaking.Arch can be assumed to have been tested as a platform for specific software, CachyOS can not be assumed to have been similarly tested, because CachyOS is still niche and will push its changes specifically for its niche, not compatibility with whatever software you are running.Setup and troubleshooting guides exist for Arch, but generally not for CachyOS, which can matter in the tiny handful of cases where those aren't the same thing.It is a niche distro for a specific purpose that makes compromises in certain areas to deliver its specific usecase of eking some more performance, and one of those compromises is just potentially reduced compatibility.I do not use CachyOS, because I want my distro to just werk or I at least want the cause of my problems to be my own bullshit, not some edge case.It's my understanding that CachyOS doesn't really add anything other than a live installer, some dotfiles for window managers and those optimizations that I can just install after the fact from the AUR or by adding the correct repos to pacman.I've installed CachyOS one or two times, but never stuck with it, because Arch just werks.

>>729754001Yeah basically. You gotta select an exe to run, select the installer first and then point it to the actual game exe once it's done installing.One of the nice features or heroic I like is that when you go to add a game it has a button for "run installer", which runs any exe really but it doesn't set it as the game path, so you don't have to do the whole dance of changing the executable path twice, or more if you're installing dlcs

>>729745918No neferam no Linux simple as
>>729746054Linux can run the ai garbage better than windows and mac
So I was embarrassed to find that indeed on AMD performance is pretty much similar on linux and windowsI thought there was a 20fps difference only to find out that on windows I had slightly different settings (instead of using FSR native I disabled FSR which runs better but has some weird bugs with reflections)
How would I go about installing Linux so I can dual-boot and switch between that and Windows 10 as I get more comfortable with my distro? Would I have to complete reboot my PC to switch OS's? I'm guessing with such short boot times that isn't even an issue anymore.
>>729758162just install it on a free ssdpersonally i have it set up so that neither can see each other, windows has a history of bricking linuxi have it set to default to booting linux and if i need to go to windows i just type uefi in the search bar and flip the switch to manually boot windows
>>729758162The safest way would be to install linux on a separate drive. If you only have one drive:1. Resize your windows NTFS partition and leave unallocated space2. In whichever distro you install, choose that empty space. Some installers will do things different than others but overall they should use the empty space to install a distro.3. After install, whichever bootloader you install should generally detect windows and you can just pick that in the menu.Less friendly distros might not have this. openSUSE Tumbleweed for instance, by default, installs a bootloader that does not support this type of thing, so you have to change it in the installation process. Also, most current linux distributions will annoy you about the size of the partition created by Windows to load boot files being too small. This is because they make a lot more use of that small partition. So there's a chance you'll have yet another one of those smaller partitions created alongside the one with your linux system, only 2GB instead of 100mb. Bear that in mind if your storage is too limited.There's folks that will tell you that same drive is not recommended because Windows tends to overwrite the bootloader files with updates. I'm just going to say that in 7 whole fucking years, that never happened to me. In fact only recently did I switch to a setup where windows is on a separate drive, just for benchmarking purposes.
>>729754190This. Only use established distros. I'd only consider Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint and Pop_OS! as legit distros.
>>729758673well if he's on windows 10 he's not getting any updates to overwrite the bootloader anyway.>tfw in the same situationkind of hard to give up win10 when its most irritating feature, updates, is gone. slowly rotting out of support is quite comfy I have to say
winjeets...
>>729762157yes?
I primarily game on my PS5 and Switch 2.
>>729758162Its actually not that hard and I did it myself last month.Make sure to install Linux on a physically separate drive. It makes it way easier to tweak with either or OS without risk of fucking something up beyond repair. Also Windows will fuck with your Linux if they are on the same drive for whatever reason.
>>729754616Why? Last time I checked, nothing was stopping you from simply installing the old version of Windows. It's not like this whole situation is anything new, we already had Windows 8. Don't get me wrong, all these other OS have their uses in places where security is important. I just want to play video games and watch YouTube on my PC. It reminds me of people who buy safes to store useless junk in.
>>729762834the 3000 series and later doesn't support 7new hardware after 6000 or 7000 will not support 10then you have to switch, be it cucking to windows or liberating yourself
>>729762957It won't be soon, and no one knows what will happen in the meantime. Maybe Windows 12 or something like that will be as good as Win 10 was after Win 8, or maybe all these other OS will become actually good and worth using for the average person. Either way it's not a problem for me right now. Like, this problem doesn't even exist right now and you're just speculating, it doesn't seem like a good reason to switch to Linux or whatever
>>729762834>It reminds me of people who buy safes to store useless junk in.Isn't this just an issue of retarded perspective? Throw useless junk in? How do you know that they consider it useless junk that isn't worth protecting to them? On top of that, safes offer other protective benefits, for example many of them are built with fire retardant so that they can have a far higher chance of surviving in a fire.
