>5.33% of Steam users are now on Linux>11.28% if you only count English usersWindows bros, what the fuck is happening!?
>>736479484I would wager this is a pewdipie effect
>>736479484too much telemetry and bloat. though I can't say linooox is any better with how broken everything ships and with how many options you have.
Does gaming in general works well on Linux, now?Emulations and recent games?I always heard you pretty much can't play online games at all because of anticheat.
>>736479484It's nothing Linux is doingWindows 11 fucking sucks ass
>>736480130most VAC games work but nah any serious anti cheat and it won't run.
>>736480130Devs have to implement linux specific kernel-level anti-cheats, otherwise it won't work.I haven't tried emulating anything, but I play new and old PC games just fine. Sometimes you have to fuck around with prefix for Wine if you install some obscure games, but if you launch your game through $team it's mostly painless.In general because of Proton things never been better. You still want to learn how to use terminal because it will make your life easier.It's also comfy.
>>736480130Running games through steam is your best bet
>>736479484What's this from?
>>736479484Windows has been getting steadily worse since the introduction of win 8. Win11 is full on jeetcode that can blow up in your face at any moment and people are noticing. I'm still holding onto win10 because of my work but I'm considering setting up a work PC and moving my main to linux.
>>736480130>emulationarguably better than windows on many emulators>recent titles high probability of working fine, if there are hiccups fixes by the devs or the community itself is expected in a month or two at worst.>anticheatdepends on the developer, it is a case by case basis. if it is kernel level stuff, most likely won't work. you can just dualboot for these though.
>>736480549battlefield does not work.
>>736480592who gives a fuck
>>736479484Linux is the White OS.
>>736480268no money for pc parts. toasters runs better on linux.
If it was actually 10% developers might give a shit. I bet it's just steamdecks.
>>736480678a few million people that played it on pc.
>>736480856when it gets to 20 and 25% soon in the year of linux. devs would have to do it. EA is already hiring people.
>>736480130Proton is magic and basically runs everything I want. Though I'm not sure how well it does on old games.Pirated games work fine too, though sometimes I struggle when running an installer through an .iso. Finding the filepaths to your actual linux installation can be confusing at first.All in all, it works about as good as native windows.
>>736479484>11 fucking %absolutely ain't no fucking way this is truehow is this even possible
>switch to linux 2 weeks ago>systemd about to introduce birthdate checks to prepare for new surveillance lawsI can't catch a break
>>736479543There was an uptick of win7 installations when 10 was going to reach EOL. It's the "win11 is cancerAIDS" effect
If you didn't install Gentoo without the handbook, you didn't actually install it.
>>736480592dualboot it then man, it is not like hard to dedicate an ssd to just windows.
>>736480383>serious>anti-cheatlol
>>736480130I switched to arch earlier this year and I honestly regret not doing so earlier. Shit's noticeably faster, I have full control over what gets installed and all my steam games just werk - however, some stuff beyond steam requires some acrobatics to run, like world of warcraft, but once you set it up everything works swimmingly
>>736481079i literally do just that.but i can understand people that dont want to do that.
>>736481108Linuxfag I say this from a place of love, lying about real problems caused by Linux will just make people hate you and turn on your community. Popular multiplayer games are popular, sneering down at them from above makes you look like a smug retard and will only drive people from your cause.
>>736480130Every thing I’ve tried works perfectly. I only know League of Legends won’t work because of their Chinese spyware but I dropped it ages ago anyway.
>>736480130they """""work"""""
>>736480928someone installing steam on VMs in bulk
>>736481048But seriously people should install Gentoo, you will learn a lot about your operating system.
>>736481154>anti-cheat>seriouslmao
>>736479484>TPM+secure boot DRM>virtualization-based security DRM>subscription-based OSanti-consumerism is happening
Been using CachyOS on my shitty old desktop which is my 2nd PC for the past month or so, was my first ever foray into Linux. Been playing Terraria and modded (!) Fable TLC and engaging in your usual browser slop activities completely issue-free. Haven't tried emulation yet and I do play a lot of emulators so we'll see about that.Overall there were some issues and things I messed up like setting up my 2nd SSD and having it auto-mount but it was easy to fix and I'm not a toddler so I didn't mind.
I'm happy to see players are not mindless consumersFuck Microsoft
>>736481184Or they are skewed as they are setting up the steam machines.If it's mostly Arch that would be pretty clear cut.
Crazy that the best console experience is actually plugging a Linux distro on a tv and not using an actual console
>>736481358duh, and also non-steam handhelds.
>>736479484One positive side of AI is that it can effectively help solve 99% of a gamers problems on Linux. Just ask Claude about your issue, and copy paste your terminal output into it and it'll tell you all the ways to fix it. You don't even need to spend hours looking shit up on google.
>>736481454this shouldnt even be a thing in the first place you penguin fags are retarded.
>>736479484I went with Ubuntu. Any difficult problems you encounter can be overcome by asking LLMs for assistance, and so far, all of my request have been successfully solved. Linux used to be a huge troubleshooting time vampire, not so much anymore.
>>736481497continue using jeetsoft products then, retard. no one's forcing youor better yet, go play on consoles if you're intimidated by real software
>>736480383>but nah any serious anti cheat and it won't run.I really don't get this. Both EAC and BattleEye games work just fine through proton, and that's 90% of games covered. Even older shit like punkbuster works through wine with a manual install.
>>736481593It is 10% that matters because those are the games people actually play
>>736481651Such as?
>>736480924>Finding the filepaths to your actual linux installation can be confusing at first.use Play On Linux
>>736480464https://www.gamingonlinux.com/steam-tracker/if you mean the source of the data, it's just the steam survey
>>736481497It's the same thing on Windows, the only difference is that the userbase is so large google is more effective at helping you.However you can fix issues on Linux much faster because the terminal tells you exactly what's wrong. Problem is most people can't interpret it.
>>736481497>SARR>You must do the needful and watch my 30 minute AI dubbed tutorial on how to use the GUI SAR
>>736480883No one is playing it anymore
Can you install dodgy russian repacks in linux?I think not, therefore it is shit.
>>736479484What's the best Linux OS now? Bazzite is wokeslop so I refuse to use it, and CachyOS is kill.
>>736482425But those work just fine retard-kun.
>>736479484People hate win11, my friends always made fun of me for using linux, now some of them already switched.
>>736482456>Bazzite is wokeslop so I refuse to use ithow does it affect you personally?>and CachyOS is kill.it's not
>>736479484Windows 10 end of support.A lot of people just looked at Win11 and decided to bite the bullet. I will do the same once extended security update stop later this year.
>>736482489Nope, most of them crash mid way.
>>736481497pcgamingwiki wouldn't exist if every game "just worked" on windows. Half the time you thing a game just worked it's because Steam or GOG shipped it with a community patch pre-installed. The independent contributors fixing shit for you are doing a thankless job while you praise Microsoft instead.
>>736482572I've installed multiple games of rutracker.Give me an example of one that fails so I can try it myself.
>>736482456I have not tested many distros but from my limited experience:> KubuntuLooks great, but I faced too many issues and switched to:> MintWorks great out of the box, no issue whatsoever> ChimeraOSGreat for couch gaming, genuinely a better experience than actual consoles
>>736481010If it makes you feel any better there are already forks of systemd that removes it and the current implementation is literally just a sudo locked text file with YYYY-MM-DD in it until some other sudo enabled app writes into it.It's essentially just so linux devs can point at it and say "Look! We have done what you asked for, so FUCK OFF"
>>736482760Yes it's OK for now, but it's a slippery slope...
>>736482653Kingdom come deliverance dixen 18.
The problem with Linux is, I can never be sure if the game is buggy or if it's my system.It's just a better experience on windows
>>736482843I don't see the point of this repack if the P2P releases are the same size, compressed files are around 27GB. Downloading it anyway.
>>736479484 wasn't this jump caused by pajeets who are too stupid to pirate windows and too poor to buy it?
>>736479484https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam?platform=linux>64 bit 8.01% +8.01%>0 64 bit 17.60% +17.60%Wtf happened here? Also, Bazzite and CachyOS numbers from last month are completely gone.
>>736483269what pajeets?they're literally irrelevant to valvesteam doesn't even have a hindi option for 18% of the world's population, they literally don't care
>>736483270Last month.
>>736483270steam is moving to wayland and the gaming distros just packed that in therecachyos and bazzite are both undoubtedly under the 0 label
>>736483270probably bug catching name. data changes all months because is random fro people using stream. so it varies all the time. but the growing trend of linux has been steady.
>>736482843I can hear my CPU working hard.12mins left

>>736484309A true commitment to my shitpost.Cheers mate.
>>736484571Yup, I take shitposting very seriously.But I just want to show how even Russian coin-mining operation works just fine on Linux.
>>736484871what is the install path?
>>736480130You still can't play any of the major publisher multiplayer games due to anti-cheat. Anyone claiming otherwise is just coping and dismissing the most popular multiplayer games because they personally don't play those games. Fully migrating yourself to linux at this point completely shuts you off from the largest publishers and studios in the industry but if all you play is indie games or emulated shit then go for it
>>736484952I already nuked it but it was/Games/KCD/drive_c/Kingdom Come - Deliverance/wine saw it as C:\Kingdom Come - Deliverance
>>736484996>you can't pick the worst choices in the timewaster mmr grind slop genreoh no?
>>736485096You can pick up shit like Marvel Rivals, Deadlock, DotA, Arc Raiders and waste all your time away on those. Or worse, you can play Umamusume or some other gacha slop grinder.Linux users are not safe.
>>736484996>You still can't play any of the major publisher multiplayer games due to anti-cheat.Give an example first, what game are you missing? I play Dune Awakening, DRG (has no anti-cheat, but still), Vermintide, Darktide, Battlefield 4, Path of Exile, Last Epoch, Back 4 Blood, Left 4 Dead, Elder Scrolls Online, No Man's Sky, Helldivers 2, Shadow of War, The Division 1 and 2....do you want me to go on?
>>736485278Here's a handy list - https://areweanticheatyet.com/>b-b-b-but I don't play those gameswho asked
poll from a jewtube engagement bait poll spammer
>>736485424But I don't play those games, unironically.
>>736484996>Fully migrating yourself to linux at this point completely shuts you off from the largest publishers and studios in the industryNot quite. Only online games and even then only specific ones. Singleplayer games have no issues.
>>736485424>"You still can't play any of the major publisher multiplayer games">Gets several examples of working games from major publishers>NO NOT THOSE!
>>736485525doesn't matter, not an argument when you're trying to bring people into Linux. Many people do and dismissing that is why it will never be year of linux >>736485632you asked for a list and I provided it, I don't think your list of decade old, played out games is the gotcha you think it is
I'm all for competition in the OS space so that's good, but how true this is?I assume the normie user don't give a damn about windows issues, but on another part, >10% of Linux market share is... significative, to say the least.Are you sure most of these aren't just Steam decks?
>>736485829AMD Radeon Graphics (RADV VANGOGH)12.26%AMD AMD Custom GPU 040511.46%first is deck lcd and the second is deck oled
>>736481045I have been using windows 7 for almost 15 years now. The only thing I miss out is modern slops, which isn't a big deal anyway because slops are slops.
>>736481045>uptickit's just being bounced around by the margin of errorit's not going above 0.1% usage ever again
>>736480383Huh?That's not true, lots of games with anti-cheat work on Linux, including Arc Raiders, Marvel Rivals, and Naraka Bladepoint.In fact, a lot of Chinese online games work surprisingly well on Linux despite having anti-cheat, same with online games with community servers for the most part.
>>736479543Nah, the steam deck did most of the leg work, it basically shed a light on the general public that Linux isn't le nerd OS and can actually be used by everyone with its limitations.If valve ever releases a second 'eck with a readily available supply we could see Linux usage passing the 10% mark even.
>>736484996>Fully migrating yourself to linux at this point completely shuts you off from the largest publishers and studios in the industryJust the western ones, and what they make is complete and utter dogshit so it's not really an issue.
When is that steam machine releasing, I bet they're still ironing out bugs in steam os for pc use When that hits the market microslop is doomed pretty much
>>736482456artix
Windows 11 simply refused to install on my computer despite meeting the requirements, so I installed Bazzite.I've had no issues, EXCEPT I am unable to run marathon (lol!) and for some reason this game:https://store.steampowered.com/app/3187770/NAGAISAN/Other than that no issues, but if I played league I probably wouldn't have switched.
>>736486226The Deck desktop mode has probably done more to "demystify" Linux to normalfags than almost anything else in the last decade.The other major thing being Proton, which is funny because it basically means that Linux became a viable OS for PC gaming almost entirely because of Nier Automata.
>>736480491This is why microslop spent all that time and money acquiring all those game studios, it knew its time was coming, too bad for them that all of those game studios are churning out slopps
>>736486463have u tried umu proton?i never got tobihime working until i tried that
>>736479484WE ARE FUCKING WINNING LET'S FUCKING GOOO>PRIVACY AND FREEDOM>FIGHTING AGAINST AGE VERIFICATION>PROBLEMATIC OPINIONS>NO GOVERNMENT CENSORSHIP>ONLY UPDATES WHEN YOU CLICK THE LITTLE "UPDATE" BUTTONYeah I'm thinkin it's the year of the linux desktop
>>736487024>FIGHTING AGAINST AGE VERIFICATIONlast I heard all the distros were complying with this shit
Maybe I should get back to gnu+loonix as well, what the heck is flatpak, is it cringe or based?
>>736487218Yep, mainline Arch bent the knee, so all the Arch-based distros are now compromised. Debian too. Slackware is NOT complying.
>>736487282flatpak is a distro agnostic method of software distribution that basically downloads its own mini distro for its dependenciesit's better to use native software from your repo if you can as it introduces a bit of bloat, but besides that it's fine
>>736481248You're mentally 12. Perfect representation of a Linux user.
>>736486345Never ever :(
>>736487218linux will be the only OS family where you even get to have a choicei wouldn't schizo out about shit until it actually happens, currently it's just retards blowing up things out of proportionnone of this matters until you're actually forced to submit id
>Age Verificationwhat?
Can this be an example of >windows users opt out>linux redditors opt in
>>736487547They want you to sign in with biometric data to use your computer, and then it come to everything else as well.
>>736479484I still have too many non-linux ported applications to use on a regular basis. LTSC for me.
>>736479484No one trusts technology forced upon them. AI paranoia is rampant and Windows 11 is already a hallmark depiction of incompetent design.By espousing greater steps with performative intent millions can see through like glass, you just inspire mass-mistrust and alternative market approach from consumers.They have no one to blame but themselves. They wanted to open Pandora's Box for a few dollars inside.
>>736487635Not really, no.If anything, Linux users are far more likely to be the ones who opt out, Windows fags won't even read the notification and will just autoclick yes.
>>736487635few people opt outif you're on steam you're not deranged enough to seethe about them collecting your specs
>>736487635if anything it's world be linux people opting out,data harvesting fear correlates to using linux
>Spend several months on linux>Find it mostly alright>Start finding things that don't work all that well if at all>Eventually resign myself to go back to 11>Notice sluggishness everywhere, even with the meme shit turned off in defender which is supposed to tank your performance, and winhance and some more tweaking>Browser scrolling fucking lags>Had enough of that shit, went back to linux>Just so happened that someone posted an appropriate config file and a startup command for the one thing that made me switch, days laterhuh...
>>736487990It would be, but some open source projects come with the option to enable telemetry (although in a few cases it's opt out). Some distros like bazzite actually use telemetry by default. You could argue it's just to increase an usage counter but maybe you don't want any sort of telemetry at all, benign or not.
How do you guys source a clean non compromised version of a Linux distribution and validate it? since it’s the entire OS I feel like the most dangerous part of using it is finding the correct file from the right place that hasn’t been edited or tampered with in some way.
>>736483269Why would such a thing happen specifically in March 2026?You guys are so bad at coming up with lies.
>>736489160>download ISO from distro's site>verify checksum>???>profit
>>736486226ZorinOS for example also seems to do the same (just install and run it type of shit with sleek modern interface) and it seems like the perfect set up for most people when it comes to Linux, perfectly set up to mimic even the modern day look of most OS' and can be run on a potato. QubeOS for security purposes.
>>736479484>>5.33%Ok, yeah, that's pretty big->>11.28%Fucking WHAT!? No wonder Microsoft is dialing back some of its slopware. I didn't know that many users of the most important demographic were on Linux.
I dunno, seems like a bug to me because they had a huge increase of an unnamed distro. I'd wait until next hardware survey to be sure.
>>736482527No matter how “good” something is, if people have to be faggots and unlikeable people will just not use something. People should really shut their fucking mouthes some time so they can be more successful.
Lmao they gonna learn how useless Linux isLiterally trash. Can’t run a single thing without you coding a bootlog
>>736489981it's not unnamed, it's just all the big rolling distros getting misread

>>736491135A monopoly would mean they are trying to make money or other territorial claims through controlling said economy. Linux is free software that can be modified and often used with open-source environments and for running servers with. That's not a monopoly especially if the content comes for free. A monopoly would be like AppleOS environment, a dictatorship of the few.

>>736486545What they really would have liked to do is kill Steam and all other shop platforms like it and force everyone to use Microsoft Store to get that sweet 30% cut. I think that was their long term goal for the longest time but EU stepped in with Apple doing that shit and put a stop to it so Microsoft didn't even get a chance to pull that shit.Of course it would have been a PR suicide to actually do it.
>>736487419Your kernel level anti-cheat does literally nothing to stop people who actually want to cheat, it only prevents the most basic of cheats. It functions more of an always active telemetry spyware than an an anticheat.
>>736492153are you retarded? why would a company that is all about making money do anything else?gabe is not your friend, you are as bad as those nintodlers
>>736492279GabeNigga is my friend though through and through. He has not banned me for hate speech. He's based unlike the jannies on this website who always get uppity about every single topic.
>>736492270also provides a backdoor to your pc to do whatever they likethere's no excuse for a game having these sorts of anti-cheats and I refuse to have any of them on my pc
>>736492279>all about making money do anything else?so you're not describing valve heredo you have any idea how many money making opportunities valve has passed up?they'll never get their linux investment money back, this is purely a middle finger to microsoftjeets are suffering and you're seething about it
>>736492382There literally is not if they can't catch obvious blatant spin-botter cheaters on Rainbow Six Siege with their ubislop "anti-cheat" system.
>>736491763Valve's work on linux has far more value than just selling hardware. It's an insanely important safety net in case the day ever comes where microsoft tries to setup a walled garden (like they sorta threatened with W8's Marketplace).Furthermore their involvement reaches far beyond proton. Steam runtime, wine fixes, supporting arch project, kernel additions, they support the whole fucking ecosystem.
It has been a long time in coming with a comparison of >Linux gaming getting better, more compatible, and easier to use. Valve has a HUGE part in this particularly with SteamOS and Proton, but there are other facets>Microsoft fucking up more and moreTurning Windows into a giant shitshow that's both cumbersome and invasive. MS has been chasing the last, incorrect fad for too long and the debt is coming due. There's also the issue that Mac decided to just shit the bed outright and refuse to support Vulkan, so its actually easier these days to port a game to Linux than it is OSX. There are other components as well such as some states and countries pushing for more invasive age gating which has more people looking for an OS that is either willing to push back directly or offer one of the "technically present, but wholly incapable of being invasive" shit like how some distros chose to offer an optional field for whatever the user claimed to register as (ie adult, 16-18, 14-16, 13 and under) but does not require any sort of independent verification etc. >>736481010As I mentioned above, even systemd is basically making "technically compliant" versions that have no real teeth that users can opt into using and I see no problem with the option. It basically forces the gov't and corpos that are pushing this (primarily Meta) to say >OH NO NO NO SHUT IT ALL DOWN UNLESS ITS VERIFIED INDEPENDENTLY ONLINE GUYS and take the mask off. Right now, its pretty much the equivalent of the >Are you over 18? Click yes to go into the porn site, click no to be redirected to Disney, or just back to a search engine like Googleof how things worked for 30 fucking years
>>736479543It's the Steam Deck and Microcock forcing people to W11 effect.

WE PROMISE! DON'T LEAVE!" message.Unfortunately for MicroSlop, the Jeetification of Windows has reached terminal, so it's time to put it down.
I've settled on Cachyos for now been using Linux for just under a year now, only ever used windows beforehand and it's mostly been smooth sailing for games with proton, steam and lutris. Took a lot of configuring at the start but haven't changed anything since. The only game to give me a major hurdle was TW: Warhammer 3 for some reason the tree LODS were causing major stuttering but ran smooth when disabled. I'd like to experiment with tiling window managers at some point but KDE is too comfy for me.
>>736480268Valve made linux viable.
>>736495074I approve of this message. As an eternal windows gamer, I approve that windows is getting killed off. Its the most painful part of PC gaming.
>>736494487those few millions seem to not care about said game any more based on the graph
>>736494497> without literally turning into 1984Given how things are going, this may be the plan...
>>736495271Nigger, 1984 already happened in 2000s-2010s, the 1980s and 1990s were the Brave New World, now we are in Fahrenheit 451 and moving into V for Vendetta.
>>736487332Arch has LITERALLY no stance on this, because it's impossible to have one that isn't informed by engagement farming redditors. Nobody understands how it would even be possible for arch to comply with these laws, nor is arch hosted in a country that has currently implemented age verification laws on os level.
>>736495365I'm in the EU, we were OK in 2000-2010But now they cancel elections if we don't vote for globohomo...
>>736484996You do realize that the AAA scene has been dying & losing reputation for a decade now, right? It's gotten especially bad in the past 3 years. This group you're so worried about is literally losing followers by the day. The vast majority of AAA slop sales come from consoles, where they don't get the alternatives and wider array of options you get on PC. Out of the top 25 games on steam by playercount, only 4 of them don't support Linux, and it's solely due to the anticheats CHOOSING to not support Linux. Which is hilarious, because all 4 of those games are infested with cheaters anyways. People know that the reasoning behind not supporting Linux now is retarded & as more and more people make the switch & their playerbase dwindles, they will be forced to reconsider Linux support or accept lower playercounts, which is a massive issue because pretty much (if not) all of those games survive off of MTX.Linux is winning not just because it has gotten better, but because as it has gotten better Windows has been getting worse. It accelerates these optics that Linux is a viable alternative and thanks to high profile tubers and the like, Linux has been demystified a bit. No longer do people have this impression that you need to know how to code to use Linux. No longer do they think you need to be a wizard to make games run. The proof is everywhere that you have MULTIPLE different high quality distros where you can get to gaming same as you were on Windows without ever touching the terminal or codemonkeying around if you don't want to.
i like linux and love my steam deck but im a fag who likes to play marathon, skate and run wine-unfriendly daw plugins so i stick to windows ltsc, just works and stays out of the way. i run amd hardware in case i ever wanna switch back for any reason since i used to be on arch anyways
>>736495615Wrong. We were cooked with niggers and feminists in 00s and 10s and our countries were invaded and nearly wiped out of our native populations. Our fall was accelerated on purpose unnaturally through Zionist groups and NGOs.
>>736495915Dualboot? I just have a small ssd for Windows & DAW. I'd rather have that stuff on a drive that is rarely being used anyways for longevity.
>>736480130Only the most invasive anti-cheats dont work on linux, but it's only for multiplayer slop games like Fortnite, Valorant, and R6: Siege.
>>736495214Why would they? The game was released 6 months ago.And why would it even matter in the first place in the context of this discussion? All that matters is that they cared enough to buy the game and play it for a couple of months, which wouldn't be possible on linux.As long as those popular games aren't playable on linux then linux will never be the popular OS.
linux comfysimple as
if enough autists switch to linux we will force the remaining devs to target linux (desu I dont even want native linux clients, just make sure your game works with proton)games requiring kernel ac can stay on microschlop
>>736496543Which distro?
>>736493812Wait, this isn't a joke?
>>736496656what you should want is for directx12 is to get raped so windows loses everything that ever made it relevant
I guess I'll try that new hip fedora atomic something
>>736496709no NVIDIA should just divert 0.0001% of their resources to linux gaming and dx12 emu would be fine via proton/vulkan
>>736496668NixOS. I cannot in good conscience recommend it to gamers but I'm very happy with it.
>>736496789ZorinOS is good, try that instead first.
Anyone know if the new Wine 11 release adds support for shared resourcesI want to GTA RP so bad
>>736496927>I want to GTA RP so bad
>>736496976It's my use case and I stand by it
>>736479484Wow, those are actually encouraging stats. Makes me want to switch. But a few questions.Which distribution? Read recently about the Bazzite ousting of the lead (essentially sole) developer by troons. I suppose that's out. What else?Which desktop environment? I've read that GNOME is bad but not into why it is. Read that Cosmic is good. Not sure what Wayland is or how it fits in this question but I've read of it adjacent to desktop environments.
>>736497951the bazzite shit has been blown out of proportion, now they're on a broader kerneit's still a fine distro to start with and i would just put politics aside and used it for a bit to get used to everything
>>736497951For easy gayming, check Nobara, made by the same dev who did Proton GE.
>>736496852Yeah, AI focused JEETified cumrag certainly ain't worth it for gamers.
>>736497951Gnome isn't "bad", it's just a special snowflake interface. Some people like it, others don't.
>>736497951>I've read that GNOME is bad but not into why it isGNOME is usually very late with gaming-related shit like VRR and full screen support.>Which distribution? Fedora>Which desktop environment? KDE
>>736494580power tripping mod had a melty over people asking about age verification in the forums.The distro will probably bend the knee to these kind of laws once they eventually come to germany.
>>736479484Microsoft shit the bed HARD.
>>736498382Why not just Mint?
>>736480391That's incorrect. They CAN'T implement kernel-level anticheat on Linux. Not in a technical sense, but a legal one.
what's the linux equivalent of Alt+enter? Iwant to full screen games/emulators with a single keyboard shortcut
>>736498513it's based on debian which means outdated as fuck.If you are a gaymer(tm) you shouldn't be running outdated shit on linux since the gaming-related software is constantly being updated and improved.
>>736498540whatever you want to make it
>>736498540It's whatever you say it isIn KDE's windower (KWin) it's meta+pageup by default
>>736493797This, there's like 3 or 4 million decks around, the thing about the deck isn't entirely the machine and its users, but all the media around the machine itself, it basically made Linux mainstream in yt and general news articles.Basically before the deck Linux in social media, journalism and yt/streaming was basically nonexistent outside the Linux circles, and now it's common everywhere.Also the AI slop shit also helped both Linux and macos gain lots of users, because Linux doesn't have shit and in mac you get asked if you want apple intelligence and if you click no, it disappears from the system and they don't nag you with it.
>>736496852I genuinely don't think I'll ever understand the point of Nix. You need like 30 lines of boilerplate just to manually patch a single package, and then the entire dependency graph breaks.t. gentoo user
>>736479484>windows>full of jeets>linux>full of trannies (and soon to be full of jeets as well)>MacOS???What's MacOS current deal?
>>736498786>What's MacOS current deal?You have to pay for worse software you get for free elsewhere and you have to pay an Apple tax for inferior hardware specs.
>>736498786>soon to be full of jeets as well
>>736498786Modern macOS is full of executives who dick around in powerpoint and excel all day putting up an illusion of productivity. And musicians, but they're more likely to be using older versions of everything.Apple essentially surrendered their entire market share of gamers when they switched to aarch64, killed OpenGL off and refused to implement Vulkan
>>736498786>MacOS.Bunch of Amerikikes and Zionists.

>>736479484Have you tried Windows recently?Steam has done a killer job with Proton making Linux actually useable. I swapped my gaming PC back in 2024 and ZERO regrets.
>>736498778The point is that if something works on my machine, it works on yours. Nix the language sucks and the ecosystem has some warts, but it's so so nice to package something once and be able to run it on any machine, no matter the hardware/distro/filesystem/...
>>736479484how long does it usually take for window managers/ compositors to implement support for newer hardware? stuck using kde as things are.
>>736499353Yeah and he was right, if the cared enough to pay 70 buckaroos for it 6 months ago they'll care enough to pay 70 buckaroos for the next one a year from now or something.Arguing otherwise is just silly when we're talking about the 9th installment of the serie or whatever
>>736499845They have nothing to do with itIt's drivers, it's always been drivers
>>736499845None? The job of hardware support lies entirely on the kernel and Mesa.
>>736479484if I am forced to use win11 I will switch to linux. I have win11 on a work laptop and it's shit

>>736500697whoops, grabbed the wrong picture
>>736500682What all (distro, de, etc.) are you using in that screenshot?
>>736500895Not that anon, but that's just KDE's default file manager, Dolphin. You get those options if you just press the hamburger button in the top right, which I didn't know about until I saw his post.

>>736501332how's the 9070 XT on linux? i heard performance was a bit flaky on release, but haven't heard anything at all about it since. am i right in assuming it just got good and nobody bothered to talk about it?
>>736500236Proprietary drivers? Same old story as usual.Nouveau(kernel)+NVK+Zink is actually viable nowadays though if you're willing to eat a ~50-30% performance hit compared to the proprietary drivers and don't need CUDA.
>>736500682>three menus deepThat is such a perfect example of opensource slop.The reason why opensource softslop exists is also the reason why everybody hate using it. It's just made by autistic fucks who can't figure out what every other piece of software have figured out since 40 years. Or they simply won't accept it and think their way of doing things is just better ashktually
Steam decks and Valve pushing for game support on linux for the past decadeIt's not really shocking to see the number creeping up a bit
>>736501572The shader clocking issue with VRR is still a thing but otherwise I think most of the rough edges have been largely polished out.
>>736501664>takes one look at modern win11 right click menu disasteruh huh

>>736501476I was planning a full upgrade to AM5 with the 9070 until the RAM market got fucked; figured I might as well take advantage of better visuals for now, even if the framerates are still bottlenecked (it replaced a 3060ti)>>736501572been seamless so far; hardware acceleration and gaming have both been fine
>>736479484>Linux, English onlyThose number are wildly conflated by indians in india. This is not a meme, and I'm not exaggerating, there's a huge push for learning linux in India right now.
>>736501664Running the entire file manager as root is not a common use case and you can't do that on windows without arcane commands in a command prompt. As a reminder, even the built-in Administrator user on Windows does not have any real power. You have to run programs as a NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM with a TrustedInstaller token to have the same privileges as a UNIX-like root.
>>736501969no, this is a meme and you're exaggeratingthere are no indians in the pc space outside of windows because they don't have computers
>>736501795I cannot believe how bad microsoft fucked up the right click menu and they still haven't acknowledged how shit it is. This alone has probably added a few percent to linux adoption.
>>736502057>we don't even have computers saarOkay linjeet.
As much as I enjoy Linux gaming I doubt this is real. The steam stats have had glitches in the past. Let's see a consistent trend over a few months before we celebrate.
>>736502292you don't get to shit out claims without a source
>>736502420>>we don't even have computers saarGo back /g/eet.
>>736479484For the first time in my life I considered switching to Linux and I’m a normalfag so imagine there is a bit of a cultural shift. W11 is so ass it’s unreal
>>736502301yeah, the spike is obviously a statistical error.still, the overall upward trend is very promising.
>>736502301the past glitches were very obviously ruining the datathis one just fails to identify popular distros and nothing elseyou could argue this is oversampling linux users but at the same time it could've been undersampling them the entire time
>>736502301Last month was the glitch, this one is in line with the trend. That said, the fact that they completely failed to detect distros properly this time is somewhat troublesome. I'm going to take a wild guess that it's because some freedesktop shitware got updated and Steam isn't parsing the new output correctly.
>>736502052>You have to run programs as a NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM with a TrustedInstaller token to have the same privileges as a UNIX-like root.But you never ever need to that with any program on windows whereas you need to sudo constantly in linux. Typical bad faith argument from a linux user desu.
>>736503083>anon is angry that you have a safeguard between you and total system erasureinteresting
>>736479484huh its almost like shutting down all of my pcs that had windows 10 off had a consequencelinux will go higher up percent wise
>>736503083>whereas you need to sudo constantly in linux.what the fuck are you talking about?you're going to sudo to install shit and to fiddle with system filesthat's 90% of your sudo usage right there
>>736503268Nobody's angry anon. Windows users can delete their system by deleting their root folder with a couple of clicks or pressing the del button on their keyboard. That's a made up issue that only exist in the mentally ill mind of a linux user desperate to justify its retarded design choices.
>>736503520ok go ahead and delete the Windows App Store directory without having to do any tweaking or permissions editing for me
>>736479484As soon as it's just as good for VR as for most gaming, I'll switch.
>>736503083News flash: you are complaining about something that 1:1 exists on windows which is called UAC.You could also simply run sudo su or sudo bash --login or something to get a root shell instead of having to run every command with sudo.
>>736503520You have not been able to do that since XP.And since 8, you have been unable to icacls to take ownership of many system directories and files without being nt authority\system, which means you can't delete everything.
>>736503769Why do that when you can run Suicide Linux?
>>736503769>sudo suRetard alert.
>>736503083Programs do that constantly, including stuff you really don't want to be doing shit like that. It just happens in the background without you knowing about it, unless your windows is set up correctly for security. I used to run windows like that and the uac prompts I got were literally omnipresent and some consumer programs were so broken I had to enter my password multiple times every time I tried to use them. I couldn't do shit besides using enterprise software without getting one.In Linux you almost never need to elevate to super user privileges, since most software doesn't expect to have that unlike windows where literal mod launchers require it.
>>736503467haha yeah, who needs to install and update stuff on a computeror launch software that needs elevated access like obs or chromium>>736503769Newsflash, it's just a popup with a yes/no button on windows, which can be deactivated.>get a root shellHaha yeah run a regular distro as root and tell me how it goes. >>736503916Even better then.
>>736498786Full of faggots(and jeets)
>>736504076Chromium needs elevated access? OBS? The fuck they needed root access for
>>736504191Yes and probably to access webcams/mics I don't know
>>736504191Same reason you need to add your user account to various groups.
>>736504076Neither obs or Chromium needs elevated privileges, you might have malware.
>>736503997I said that because it's a way retards like that faggot can get a root shell without a root password set, of which there's like ten. I'm aware it's suboptimal.I don't use sudo on my machine personally. What the fuck was the actual argument, -i? It's been like eight years since I last bothered with that bloat.
>>736504298Why would that require root?>>736504345What is the point of groups if it's just getting root access anyway?
>>736504517It's not root access, it's permission access per user account.
>>736504191Chromium can be suid for sandboxing capabilities, iirc. If you have user namespaces enabled it shouldn't need to be suid though.
>>736504419You're one always one search away from finding out the truth
>>736504624You're talking about elevated access right? If it's just in the user space it shouldn't need a password or sudo.
>>736503745That probably will just depend on your headset. Standalone and Index will just werk with wivrn, alvr, monado and envision, everything else usually only has kind of hacky drivers.
>>736504747I used that software, I have never needed root privileges.
>>736501187>>736501332Actually looks nice. Most Linux DEs I've seen have felt "off" or just overly "bubbly." Yeah, I'm aware I can change theming but that's a nice default. Thanks.
>>736493812Apparently there is another two missing from that chart:Gaming Copilot, a gaming sidekick for Xbox and Windows.Microsoft Dragon Copilot, which is an A.I powered clinical assistant using the "Dragon" brand they acquired in 2022.The dragon natural speech-to-text software is apparently widely used in clinics across the U.S, Microsoft couldn't beat them so they brought the company that made it and have slowly been killing it so that everyone switches to own shittier product.Embrace, extend, and extinguish!
Steam wasn't counting my SO since I had this option disabled. I highly suggest everyone to enable it, we WindowsGODs must beat the Linuxtroons!
>>736505365yeah KDE Plasma + Dolphin is probably the most 'modern' looking default setup, other DEs still have a somewhat retro look without a theme
Dual-booted Linux Mint and Windows 10 IoT. Linux is great for most things, but it has its issues, such as the screen turning off if you're playing games on an emulator with a controller. Still, you can ask the AI how to fix them; it's usually copying and pasting a couple of lines into the terminal.
>>736506061>'s usually copying and pasting a couple of lines into the terminalDon't do that. It's a bad habit. You don't want to end up running random shit like>"curl -s -L https://pastebin.com/raw/7BfXjykg | bash"without knowing what it does.
>>736506648I use the AI search function and the AI usually gives me the solution with the link where it got it from, so far I haven't had any problems.

>>736509871windows use is going down?
>>736484996>completely shuts you off from the largest publishers and studios in the industryOh no! The horror!
>>736510101the thread is about the possibility of linux taking over as the mainstream OS. Whether you play those games or not is irrelevant as the vast majority of gamers do, and until the publishers/studios support linux your hallucinations of linux being anything more than a tranny hobby will remain nothing more than hallucinations
>>736482456SteamOS/thread
>>736510731>as the vast majority of gamers doIs that so? I'm pretty sure vast majority of gamers play games that can be run on Linux like Minecraft or Roblox.I don't even use linux btw so you're barking at the wrong tree.
>>736500305wine runs windows games better than windows, and it keeps getting better
>>736494513Those people were in 10 only for the support and prefer 7 to 10
>>736511221It's weird that this is a think that fluctuates. It's not dependent on proton or linux. It's dependent on how shit Windows decides to be on any given update. Sometimes the Nvidia drivers are good, other times they're garbage, other times a windows updates breaks something.
>>736501664I actually ran into a similar issue on windows.I plugged in an old dying hard drive and it wouldn't let me copy files from my old user folder because it was owned by that user, not me. Windows only offered to let me "take ownership" ie wanted to grind away recursively changing all the file metadata on the poor ancient hdThere was no way to run explorer as administrator because there is only one explorer.exe process for the whole desktop. I ended up having to use fucking powershell to browse and copy files which was ass.It's so weird to complain about this as a linux problem when kde handles it so much better.
>>736482425Just use bottles to install them
>>736498540>>736498540LOL
>>736500828HAHAHAHA>just do it yourself broNobody takes troonix seriously
>>736480130If you're not an esportsfag you won't miss anything, everything else runs pretty well.
>>736513020never reply to me again, you fucking cretin
reminder a lot of anti cheats do literally just work on linux, devs just choose to not enable it.
>>736513128 your such tryhard troonix user lmao
>>736513213Yeah just like non of denuvo cracks work on troonix
>>736513396why the fuck would i let a russian faggot back door my computer to play a denuvo game
>>736513451Your OS has SELinux bro, lower your tone.
So now that the dust has settled, why did Microsoft create a bunch of new menus for settings instead of just putting them in Control Panel?
>>736513518Linux thread
>>736513576Not video games
>>736513576God do I have to spell it out? Did you miss the part where I just said Microsoft royally FUCKED up their OS for no reason?
>>736513518My question is, why did Microsoft decide to redirect Control Panel options to Settings?If I want to get an easy to digest view of printers, I should just be able to go to Control Panel\Devices and Printers. But no, selecting Devices and Printers redirects you to Settings, and you have to select "More printer settings"
>>736513518because windows is made by people that don't use computers for anything useful
>>736513670Yeah I did. My bad.
>>736513670Troonix users tend to be hypersensitive. Just tranny things.
>>736513518most people are illiterate retards who will never think to use any of those menus anyway so it doesn't matter where they are
>>736513947and this is why everything is just getting worse
>>736511010the numbers exist for everyone to see, your opinion literally means nothing thankfully
>>736480130You cant play games with kernel level anticheat cause linux refuses kernel level access to apps by design. Its much more locked down and leaves power in the owners hands. Also a lot of companies just refuse to add linux into easy anti cheat when its just a config file check, like pubg. Other than that almost everything i've played works, except for really rare obscure shit, like 1 hentai game, which might work now with the newer versions of wine/proton out. If any game doesn't run for you, you just check protondb to see what others say/did. Also if you're not playing through steam, there are apps for non-steam games, like lutris or bottles or heroic games, which can just run games outside of steam.
>>736496308>Why would they? The game was released 6 months ago.Battlefield fell off. Its most recognizable moment was the trans catboygirl who was cheating.
>>736515632kek
>try to play old windows game on linux>looks like this>doesn't even register mouse movement, only clicksits joever
>>736513396Not true, it's only specific denuvo cracks made by that tranny empress because she was relying on garbage being consistently left in registers and/or on the stackI would expect those denuvo cracks to break in a future windows version as well
>>736516269game cope has a stretching functionality, looks necessary there
>>736516683I tried to run the game with gamescope but even that didn't work, it just wouldn't boot up at all.That was with Lutris mind you, I'm just running it on Wine right now. Not sure Bottles would help.
news flash: bottles does the job
>>736517587just a psa for you and othersthe lutris dev has admitted to using ai to co-write the program starting a couple months ago. it's useless trash.
>>736517976>the lutris dev has admitted to using ai to co-write the program starting a couple months ago. it's useless trash.Wasn't this the consensus anyway? Lutris has been a headache most of the time in my personal experience.
>>736518190Lutris has been trash since they introduced the hard dependency on that UMU crapware. I used it to manage games as an alternative to steam, and since then it tries to force everything to run under the steam runtime instead of with my system libs. Complete joke of a program.
>>736516269You better be fucking joking because I play this game on windows 12 Yearly fine.
>>736518383>windows 12
>>736479484I actually don't want some brown AI keeping surveillance on me and being forced into everything on my device. Linux is pretty good for desktop now and I won't miss any game that requires an anticheat that arbitrarily wants me to use windows solely because the developer doesn't want to ban cheaters who buy cosmetics i.e. Apex Legends the worse offender giving temp bans to habitual hackers with lots of mtx purchases.
>install game through lutris>doesn't boot>install game through fagus launcher>boots after half a minute of update checks>install game with protontricks launcher>just werksi wish it be not like it is but it do
>>736519618I didn't know protontricks had a launcher
>>736519618protontricks and winetricks is better at sniffing out dependencies and will prompt you to install them
>>736483348>Arch that highBut why though?I never understood the appeal in Distros where you need to update it every fucking week, why would I want Windows experience on Linux?
>>736519749because it's old

I swapped to linux about 6 months ago and I regularly forget I did except when I boot up and it doesnt take several moments to spin up all the bloat ware, I've only run into two games I've had to tinker with to get running. No real reason at this point to run windows unless you're cattle or use adope sloppa a lot.
>>736519904You're just some guy, they're multi-billionairesYou may as well just be a spec of sand to them
>>736519749>why would I want Windows experience on Linux?You mean the experience of just working and downgrading to archived packages when needed instead of coping with timeshift?
>>736520052yet all I need to say is that I don't believe in the economy and they lose money
>>736480130Running Linux Mint. Emulators I tested and got working on are Xemu (Xbox), Xenia Edge (Xbox 360, and PCSX2 (PS2).Games I've tried that work either natively or with Proton:>Helldivers 2>Shadow of Mordor>Wuchang>MH World>MH Wilds>Slay the Spire 2>DOA6>Brush Burial>Death Stranding 2 (performance worse on Linux)Games that I have tried that cannot work on Linux:>Space Marine 2, can enter the game but crashes during main menu>Death Stranding 2, can run natively with worse performance, disk usage is much much slower and will crash the game during cutscenes or any time the game has to load/unload resources quickly. With Proton it didn't work before recent patches, not sure about now.
>>736519618Lutris kinda just blows. I tried using it for my porn games and it would often fail to work even when running wine outright did.
>>736520341sm2 is the only game ive had an issue with on mint as well. marvel Rivals, all my fromslop, a bunch of indie slop, all works fine.
>>736519887what's the point of this when ffmpeg exists?at least webm for retards/bakas is just a GUI for ffmpeg so it's more comfortable to configure your webm/mp4. This is literally just another shell command you have to type.

>>736521360Cope.
>>736479484Look 8 was too far for me, and I stuck with 10 because Linux just wasn't there yet.Then it was.So when 11 came out I switched and never looked back. Fuck microshaft. It's a crime against humanity.
>>736520861it uses ffmpeg and spits out perfect sized files on first try. You don't have to do trial and error
>>736520520I have a second internal SSD with windows 10 on it which I use for SM2 and Death Stranding 2 thankfully. I'm okay with Linux so far but it has far too many problems that prevents it from being my sole OS.
>>736521498>sole OSyou mean like this?
im not going to read the thread, who got accussed of being a jeet more windows or linux users?
>>736520221>instead of coping with timeshift?I turned that shit off. It ate like 200gigs of storage.
>>736521812that's the opener of most of the retards that decide to shit up those threadstoo bad they don't hold up to scrutiny, the only source that has ever claimed linux has a measurable amount of jeets has walked it back and it was never a good source to begin with
>>736521489
>>736522117Good luck with that, can't wait to see your shitty webms
>>736522117Dumbass, this just makes ffmpeg stop encoding once it hits that file size. It's a limit, not a target.
>>736521652Good one friend. I might try out a different distro soon because VR apparently is not supported on Mint, at least not for my headset.
>>736522268>>736522295You can just use webm for retards that does the exact same thing with more options instead of typing more shit into the terminal.
What the hell is a wine prefix and why does every game have a clone of a system32 Windows folder inside of it taking some 900mb-1gb?I thought a wine prefix just meant a launch comma or something.
>>736522459Iirc stuff like Wine and Proton emulates Windows and its filesystem, which is why the saves will be in emulated folders similar to Windows. Idk tho.
>>736522459You're basically creating a virtual windows environment for wine to use while running your software (registry, a few basic windows apps, some DLLs)You should not have to make more than one unless you're doing something strange that requires a custom setup or you got Bottles because you realized Wine doesn't stop Windows apps from writing stuff to the rest of your system
>>736522525Yeah I get that, but can't there be just one system wide folder that every wine install points to, instead of every game folder back g its individual and duplicate windows files and folders taking up more space?
>>736519749I think you're confused. You don't need to update arch every week. In fact you don't need to update arch ever. You can use it however the fuck you want.
>>736480130I've been using Linux daily for three years. I haven't encountered a game that I couldn't make run. This is mostly just changing the version of proton it's using and the odd launch parameter here and there. What won't work are certain anti cheats, so if you play a lot of multiplayer games it might not be for you. You'll have to do your due diligence and look into the games you play. Emulators run perfectly fine
>>736481674Call of Fortnite.
>>736522581Duplicate files take negligible amount of space on btrfs. You can use the same prefix for everything too if you want. That's not how steam works, though.
>>736513213More like they actively go out of their way to disable it.
>>736488003>>Just so happened that someone posted an appropriate config file and a startup command for the one thing that made me switch, days laterThis is something I really enjoy about open source. It's run by the community so you can just hop on github and ask some nerds to fix your obscure issue and 9 times out of 10 they'll be happy to help.
>>736522575>Wine doesn't stop Windows apps from writing stuff to the rest of your systemRealized recently after playing a pirated version of GTA SA. Annoying as fuck.
>>736522459It's a windows system folder that Wine uses to launch windows games when it emulates windows. I just create a standard few windows folders in the same spot as my games and link all my games I run in Lutris to one of them instead of making a new one every time, otherwise it starts to add up in space. For Steam, Steam does that itself, so no point stressing there.
>>736523007No matter how much you think you hate game developers, you don't hate them enough.
>>736523191What was the problem?
>>736479484Windows 11 is hot garbage. I am shopping for a distro for my desktop rn. I have mint on my laptop and its meh. CachyOS is looking cute rn.
The funniest thing is that Apple could come in and crush all linux adoption by just supporting games but they don't want to be associated with gamers.
>>736523304It will create a save folder outside the Wine environment
>>736523494apple has the same problem of their os getting shittier and it's complete goyware with no uefi
>>736480130The only two games I have had some trouble with are Star Ocean: The Divine Force and Neverwinter Nights 2 (the original, GoG version). The former just sucks performance-wise for reasons I can't explain (my PC should be able to handle it easily with a 4090). And the latter I used lutris to set up but it is glitchy and keeps giving me various issues. All other games (I typically play single player RPGs) have worked almost perfectly with minimal fuss.
>>736522575How dangerous is this? I imagine if you somehow installed a virus it still can't do anything considering its for another os and linux is very restrictive without being root?
>>736523536>full on copeThe only excuse anyone has left is gaming otherwise it's over for windows and distros.
>>736519852Imagine if Linus TechTips had this graph and just picked a popular distro, instead of reading listicles or asking chatgpt.
>>736523731you're coping by pretending apple is even a contendera 32gb 2tb mac mini with an m4 chip costs $1800for that same price you can get a 9600x with a 9070xt with the same 32gb of ram and 2tb of storage and you get to upgrade it down the line
>>736523384just go with arch, fedora, or debian, mint is ok too. don't fall for meme distros
>>736523961>debian, arch>not meme distroscachyos is objectively just superior arch
>>736522575>You should not have to make more than oneif that anon is using steam then it does make one for every single game
Fedora vs Cachy? which do you guys recommend? It seems like cachyv is better.
>>736520341Don't forget what's popular among normies>Genshin Impact>Zenless Zone Zero>Marvel Rivals>Apex Legends>Rocket League>Overwatchall works on linux too
>>736522581You can do that just fine if you want, but eventually you'll run into issues when you uninstall a game and it takes away some other game's directx dependencies or something.
>>736524014yeah i'm sure anon, same with manjaro, same with endeavour and every other flavor of arch
>>736524063they're not really that different as long as you install kde on fedorastill would pick cachy
>>736524074>>Apex LegendsEA announced that Linux and Steam Deck (Linux-based) users can no longer access the game because the Linux OS is considered a significant vector for impactful exploits and cheats
>>736524108manjaro was objectively just shit and its claim to being an easy arch just collapsed when actual competition emergednothing wrong with endeavour or cachy

Is treating the banned distros in Brazil as if they never exist good for you?
>>736481045>>736486226>>736493687Im sure all these played a role but pewdiepie has over 100 million subs and made a video using linux not so long ago. Companies advertise and do product placements for a reason ... because they work. If only 10% of people actually buy the product, for pewd=diepie that is 11 mullion people that would have installed linux (opf course this is based on nukmber of subs not the number who watched the video which could be more or less. I dont know because I dont watch pewds I just saw a clipped portion of the video somewhere else)
>>736524190>because the Linux OS is considered a significant vector for impactful exploits and cheatsi hope you're just being a messenger because that's not even close to reality even according to their own data
>>736524354It's what they said I guess
>>736524190>because the Linux OS is considered a significant vector for impactful exploits and cheatsThis has always been the most hilarious cope>more than 50% of Tarkov cheats>"must be those damn linux fags">ban the at the time 2% marketshare linux users>cheating continues at the same paceI wonder what kind of cognitive dissonance devs must have to see such a low adoption rate and still blame them for their massive cheating userbase
>>736524253cachy is ok, but it's still riskier to use a newer distro that doesn't really have footing than the tried and trues. and you can do everything cachy does yourself if you really wanted too. i think arch being a true minimal install (that isn't batshit insane like gentoo) where you curate what you want is more valuable though
>>736524527If someone is asking for advice on what distro to install, arch is a terrible choice. There's never been a better selection of distros that Just Werk out the box.
>>736524527minimalism isn't as appealing as you think, especially on linuxonly the top 1% would realistically give a shit about the package number being lower and saving 1gb of storage by not getting cachyos's stuff out of the boxarch is something you should arrive at naturally because you want it, not have it recommended to you
>>736524442I doubt they actually think all cheaters are linux users, or vice versa, it's simply that their chosen solution to cheating is incompatible with linux and linux's playerbase is a small enough sacrifice for now.
>>736524684you can literally just use archinstall, pick kde plasma and thats it youre done. unless you are susceptible to faggots bullying you about installing it manual>>736524765i'm not talking about minimal as in you should never download anything ever, i'm talking about minimal as in you know exactly what is on your system and it's there because you wanted it to be there.
>>736524351>11 million people11 million GAMERS, that is
>>736524527>cachy is ok, but it's still riskier to use a newer distroI've seen this sentiment a few times, but what is the risk?
>>736524898they just stop working on it, or mishandle it like manjaro did
>>736524838>i'm talking about minimal as in you know exactly what is on your system and it's there because you wanted it to be there.yes, that's what i meantit's not like windows where you'll have actual malware preinstalled, there's nothing wrong with having all those useful utilities out of the box and few will care if you cut them out for the sake of their individuality or whatever, that's strictly a top 1% autismo quirk
>>736524190Not really, I looked into it, and it turned out to be Javelin Anti-Cheat, the same system used in Battlefield 1, V, 2042, and 6. They used to work fine, but EA fucked everything up, like always>>736500828
>>736479484Windows:>forcing constant updates>forcing "microsoft account">forcing globohomo changes and "mobilefriendliness">forcing advertising>forcing Win 11"what the fuck is happening!?" "how could people turn on windows!?"
>>736479484Privacy and security issues aside - Linux just feels comfy and easy to use if you compare it to windows.
i was starting to think i misjudged my timing in going back to windows.
>>736525080ok well apex doesn't run on linux and that was their announcement
I think I'm the perfect candidate for Linux, all the games I usually play run on it
>>736497951Wayland is just our modern display server (X11 is the legacy one). DEs plug into either Wayland or X11.
>>736525304It's just stupid that they're applying that same kernel anti cheat system to a 10 year old game like Battlefield 1 that doesn't need it, while games like Titanfall 2 and Garden Warfare 2 are left behindIt's just EA messing around. They don't deserve to be defended when there are so many online games that don't use it, or that don't have issues on Linux

I've been using CachyOS for a year now and it's been great overall. The only issue I've run into and been unable to fix is that my arcade stick (Mad Catz TE2+) has its button mapping completely messed up. KDE's gaming controller thing detects it fine but won't let me remap the buttons. My workaround has been to run everything through Steam, because Steam Input actually works perfectly. But I play a lot of games on emulators, and I haven't been able to get Steam Input working on those even when running the application through Steam.I'm 90% sure this is another issue that has a fix and I just haven't run into it, but there it is. Very specific use case, but very annoying as a competetive fighting game player.
