Are you gaming on linux?
No
AMD graphics on linux is more next gen than Nvidia graphics on windows
Yeah it's pretty funI looped twice in nuclear throne, it was pretty sweet
>>737212845No.
theres no point. ive already used windows long enough for the backdoor to know everything about me. i might as well just stay on windows
It sucks. Pirated games with hypervisor dont work on linux. I guess you could pay for them, or wait 5 years until they become free.
>>737212845Yes. Pic-related.It runs every game I've thrown at it, even old obscure shit.
when i play osu! on cachyOS it randomly freezes for 1 second a lot.
>>737212845Yes... I mean no. No.

>>737213068It's less about spywares and "security" and more about using an OS that stop accessing your drive 24/7 because it has to download a whole OS behind your back and run anti viruses.

>>737213746>>737213759niggas who avoid multiplayer games are usually not good at games. that's why linux fits you so well. since linux cant play any multiplayer games
>>737213967it plays the ones that respect you as a player where developers carei'm sorry you had to find out this way
>>737213967I play multiplayer games, just not league or fortnite
>>737213967Try looping twice in nuclear throne and tell me how that goes. lmao
>>737213967Public lobbies of any type on any multiplayer game looks like 90% of the people are gaming on a laptop with a track pad and have very poor ping and also lag spikes. I’m just trying to describe like, just exactly how bad they are. Like they’re missing both their hands and are playing with their balls on the keyboard to control their actions. It’s pretty crazy. Thats what actual multiplayer is like, all the way up until you’re in the top 2% of their rating system. And even at that point, you will be seeing the most retarded people still playing, like mutltiplayer isn’t skillful not really.
>>737214016i prefer games that actually maintain their competitive integrity which is something that can only be done by implementing anticheat which is what i guess you're trying to imply is bad(?)
>>737214250>maintain their competitive integrity>allows controller aim assistfucking lmao
>>737213967Out of the top 30 multiplayer games on steam only 9 don't work.And out of those 9, RUST and Apex Legends used to work better than windows with better frametimes but they banned and revoked linux users ability to play.So really before it was 7. And really if you take away ea sport shit and caw a dooty its like 5.The big ones that dont work on linux are apex legends, R6S, Rust, PUBG, Valorant, COD Warzone and League of legends. I dont play any of those games though and if they hate linux I wont support them with my money.
>>737214174then why are you hardstuck?
>>737214250Reminder the Apex live cheating scandal happened on a windows computer, and the game still has a hacking problem...
>>737213967I play single player because challenge is like a binary thing that my brain checks off. And, most of the time in multiplayer games, the flag is set to untrue. I don’t feel challenged in the correct way. Theres lots of reasons, I can go over some. Maybe I will in my next post. It is fucking rare, to have a good game against other people. It does happen, but it’s really rare. But in single player, you can set your own limitations and challenge yourself the entire time. I’ve climbed to the top of like every big games rating systems, the entertainment value is mostly from bragging. Like what the fuck, imagine how much better at games I am than all of you. I even beat like pro gook players who study it and get paid money, that’s their fucking job and they’re still garbage.
>>737214308Not all of us are comfortable eating $1 ramen noodles, drinking soda and being born as asian nobodies who get autistically excited about every single thing they see on the screen who are able to grind every day for 8 hours a day like a soulless drone that should be breaking big rocks into little rocks.
>>737214308Theres actually invisible algorithms dictating your win/loss ratio in many online games. You literally have to create a new account. The concept of somebody like me being hardstuck in bronze is laughable and totally unlikely. But it’s happened before, that’s how I discovered the glitch. I merely made a new account, and went to the top almost immediately. This type of thing exists due to the inflation of the dollar. They build treadmills to keep our civilization going. The blight permeates gaming, and all forms of entertainment actually. But you just have to work with the blight and you can even become a blight wizard capable of controlling the blight for your own benefit.
funny, those linux threads are where the biggest fucking goyim crawl out to cry about their timewaster games not working because linux doesn't allow you to brand your pc like the cattle those fuckers are
>>737213479By using something you didn't have access to.
>>737214493I guess tarkov is one of the big ones too, but its filled with cheaters, and road to vostok is out and already a better game. You can even fish in the game.
>>737214690Single player tarkov (spt) works fine, doesn't have cheaters either. I think playing online makes the game easier, but spt is more fun for me since load and wait times are lower and I fucking hate waiting for match on tarkov.

>>737216695Linux mint is good, but they have some weird issues.The new menu change was not needed, it was pretty unpopular and looks bad. Overally the color scheme to match guhnome is really weird since mint says they want to deviate from guhnome, yet copies every single style and program change they make.Still based on GTK and the file manager is slow as shit. and the file picker has no thumbnails, something KDE has had for years with a grid view. File manager nemo itself cant even load folders or large folders with lots of pictures instantly, something dolphin has had for years.If I was them I would replace nemo with guhgnomes nautilus completely and add the file picker xdg into cinnamon because right now they are just using the default old one because guhnome has a filepicker now with GTK4.Replace drawing with pinta or some other better programAdd wayland support for VRR and HDR

>>737212845Yes Nvidia/Intel on CachyOs. Ez and fast setup and no compatibility problems so far. Im still checking up if there are any improvements on performance but given that its not windows thats a startMachine: Lenovo Legion i5
>>737220975I was surprised at just how easy cachy was. I installed it on my sons PC and everything just worked instantly, the only thing I had to do in the terminal was install discover.

>>737215280>Ubuntu is on its way to its (merited) graveyou love to see it
>Linux build run worse than proton.
i'm geniunely surprised that outside of strict anti cheat games, even niche ass japanese doujin games work fine with linux on my steam deck without much fucking around that said my main PC is still windows because I can't be fucked to move everything over and i don't want to rework my workflow for my main pc if my drives ever completely fail and I can't recover the data then yeah i'll swap over i guess
>>737220378you might need some additional parameters for nvidia since their drivers colormapping is still bugged. have you checked protondb tho? guarantee someone on there has the parameters that will work for you. worked for me on the demo but i haven't purchased the full game to try it yet.
>>737224697Which games? I have seen people say this before but never encountered it
>>737224970Valve own stuff, which is retarded.CS2 and Deadlock are the worst with that.
>>737224970latest sts2 update started causing crashes when i encountered certain visual effects on native, swapping to proton fixed it.i've seen a few others here and there, 7 days to die comes to mind a few years back but i can't be assed to recall the rest.
>>737213068old data becomes weaker and less useful over time, companies want your fresh data to feed to their algorithms and keep you engaged in some way to their advertisements or whatever they want to shill to you. Just because they have shit on you now doesn't mean it's going to remain useful or relevant foreveradditionally, even if you have other shit tracking you like your phone, your bank, your DMV, you make it harder for them to build a complete profile on you. It's basically impossible to have 0 trace completely, but you can make it a lot harder
>>737212845Yes.
>>737224697It likely will always be this way until linux gets at least 30% marketshare or a game is so popular like stardew valley they have no choice but to release a build. I know borderlands 2, factorio, alien isolation, kerbal and some others are exceptions . Mainly devs are focusing on getting vulkan api good as godot is the new engine people are using to flee from unreal engine 5 slop. Road to vostok is made on open-source godot btw and its really good and godot has a built in option to export as a linux build with vulkan. Yet maintaing a native linux build to fix bugs and fix issues people have is the main reason why devs dont switch. They dont want to maintain two versions until linux is at least somewhat popular.>>737223936So they can crack hypervisor games. Crimson Desert is on day 30 but im not in any rush to play it.
>>737212845They call me a "Linux Gamer"
>>737212845Not right now. Doing some programming so that your fuck's life can be better.
>>737212845Yep, dropping fortnite was honestly the best decision i made. Outside of some games that run strangely on windows like impressions games, its been plug and play for a couple years now. Though thats mostly because i dont use nvidia, they really need to catch up.
>>737225781What are you working on?>>737225086>>737224697How do I into the proton version if I already installed? Just tick the box or do I need to uninstall and reinstall?
>>737226019I believe steam might be able to figure it out if you enable steam compatibility under the games preference menu. Otherwise reinstall.
>>737226084Oh it's literally that easy.Anyone who says linux is hard is more retarded than me, and I'm a fuckwit.
>>737226332Its honestly really easy these days. I've been using it on and off since 2008 and it all kinda clicks together unless you're bound to some anti cheat hamster wheel or adobe slop, even then i think theres some amount of compatibility now. Valve putting in the effort on this front makes me hopeful for FEX, maybe little Timmy will kill himself when he cant capture marketshare on android despite him begging google.
>>737217035did you check protondb?
>>737224697Didn't wine/proton just get some new update that vastly improved the emulation making it a fuckton faster? Makes sense, especially with how little interest is given to base linux.
>>737215852Why is there so much shit on your root drive? You're not installing your games there, right?
>>737226332Modern linux is retard proof as possible, sure you still can go through terminal and all the jazz but lot of things can be handled with GUI just fine.
Can anyone give point me to what distros aren't bootlicking pozz factories that agree with stealing my data?I'm on Mint right now and have an old laptop with Ubuntu I think is time to take out back.
>>737227145Arch. I think Pop took a stand against the age verification shit.
>>737213454Pick literally any other distro, Ubuntu is a huge noob trap that sucks ass and is broken for most tasks that is more complicated than browsing the web or doing school work. The 2 year release schedule is particularly bad now because the "cutting edge" has matured to the point where you'll have to wait up to two years for fixes that everyone else gets a week or a month after its made, you seldom get botched patches (unless your running Arch) because all rolling distros now stagger most fixes by a week to a month so that shit has a chance to get fixed before it reaches the general public. Ubuntus own repos are also just bad and badly maintained so that's another thing you have to deal with if you want to switch to Ubuntu.If you really want to get something that is tangential to Ubuntu then just install Mint because at least that distro works out of the box more often then not and is a bit easier to handle if shit breaks. If you are tech savy enough to know how to install a distro without consulting a guide and have at least a little bit of patience then I'd recommend something like Fedora or one of the distros based on it since it's essentially just a "newbie" distro with more control over stuff. Once you feel comfortable with Linux then you can go to something like Arch if you really like to tinker with tech.If you have an Nvidia card then just save yourself the headache and get Bazzite if you only wanna play vidya or Pop!OS if you want to have a more "mature" distro with more general use stuff pre-installed.In my opinion, stay away from every desktop environment that isn't KDE Plasma if you are new to Linux, Plasma is an almost 1-to-1 copy of W10 looks wise and have 90% of the same functionality but without the bullshit stuff that comes pre-installed on W10/11.
>>737227565>Plasma is an almost 1-to-1 copy of W10It's significantly better than W10. It's closer to W11 if W11 was functional and let you customize it. But it's miles ahead of both.
>>737212845Jeet /g/ayming thread.
>>737227565I'd say the only other distro that could be considered a trap is Manjaro, that abomination always causes newbies strife.
>>737227398>ArchI heard the base Arch let it happen though? I heard some distro's basically getting flamed for doing this shit and their defense was "Arch did it upstream".
>>737227708They have made 0 comment on the matter. They couldn't comply even if they wanted to, because of the way that Arch works.
>>737213967I've been playing Deadlock, CS:GO/CS2, TF2, PoE1/2, MR and SF6 on Linux since 2024, I'm sorry for your lack of braincells or whatever.
steam literally has age verification and no one gives a shit about it. You might be confusing age verification with ID verification
Yes. I even have Nvidia card and shit still just werks.
>>737216528>now
>>737213680why would I play those when I can play the original esports and the best esports, cs and dota, on Linux?
>>737212845I recently made the switch to Linux, and I was shocked at the amount of games that worked right out of the boxOf course, there were some games didn't run well, but that's to be expected.Switching to Linux also made me appreciate devs putting out demos. Makes it a lot easier to see if a game is going to run well or not.>>737213967I avoid multiplayer games like a plague because they're just not funWhy spend 100+ hours on a game i'm not having fun when I can play 10 games that I'm gonna have fun?
Benefit of gaming on Linux is the lack of bloatware bogging down your system, search on Windows 11 alone is 180-300+ mb on ram and a percentage of processing running in the background as well and that's just one program, with certain Linux distros you can basically run it bear bones on drivers and the colonel
OK faggots since you're here and considering switching to Linux and you're paralyzed by the choice of all the distros let me break it down for you.You only need to consider 3 parents.>Arch - Rolling release, always uses the latest stuff>Debian - Long term support, stable, always behind>Fedora - Very up to date, but not like arch.Every single distro worth a damn is built from one of these. Ignore everything else. These are the only parents that matter.For gaming, you need the latest drivers. Debian is a poor base for this because of how long it takes to get updates. Ignore any debian based distro for gaming unless you're a drooling retard. If so, go with Pop!OS or Linux Mint.Fedora is good if you think you're a bit retarded. Some options are Nobara, Bazzite (if you're extremely retarded) or just straight Fedora if you want to use it as a workstation too.For Arch, CachyOS is idiot-proof in terms of installing, and arguably the best gaming OS. But because it's always using the latest stuff, sometimes things might break. Pick it if you're less retarded than most people. If you think that's too hard, EndeavourOS is a good middleground for arch based distros. And finally, if you love to tinker, straight Arch. It has an archinstall script that automates the autism for you. But it's still not as pretty or easy as Endeavour or Cachy. Arch is the total freedom, build your own OS option.Whichever one you choose, get KDE Plasma, It is the best desktop environment out there, and by a lot. You can customize it to look like windows or mac or something else entirely. Start here. You can always change at any time and go for GNOME if you hate yourself or Hyprland if you want something offered nowhere else and want to basically only use your keyboard. To recap:Pop, Mint or Bazzite if you're brain damaged. Nobara or Fedora if you're normal.Cachy or Endeavour if you're technically mindedArch if you're autistic.
>>737222298Game?
>>737216752>not having fedora as the most glownigger distro along with all its derivatives
>>737219417the hell is this
>>737228279Very interesting definitely going to check out, CachyOS
>>737228518Can't go wrong with it. Everything just works out of the box. If you have any issues legions of "I use arch btw" trannies will come and help you.
YepPlaying Diana's game and Crimson Desert
>>737228309To be fair, Redhat have essentially used their "age identification" implementation as a middle finger towards legislators since it's literally the laziest non-implementation version of it we have seen so far, it's just a single text file with DD/MM/YYYY in it that you can change to NULL or whatever the fuck you want after it has been created since you always have root access to your own PC.Fedora/Redhat is the least corpo out of all the corpos for some unknown reason.
>>737228863But how do you verify it in the first place? Just on install you type a birthday?
>>737228281It says in the video, use your eyes nigga.
>>737228405Lutris, and ricing their desktop red apparently.>>737228863Source my ass, but it doesn't benefit them to comply more than they actually need to especially when what this can lead to is still up in the air. I don't think they're protesting anything they're just being smarter about it.
>>737228279I'm not sure if recommending PopOS is still a good idea, or whether it just keeps getting recommended because people recommended it in the past.CachyOS also isn't more idiot-proof than Arch, like most Linux distros it's just proofed against a different type of idiot, since it can potentially add some additional troubleshooting. Artix is the Arch distro for autism.>>737228863>IT'S JUST AN INIT SYSTEM BRO>IT'S JUST A TEXTFILE BROIt's a stub for future extension, just like systemd.If it eventually decides to include external attestation, then that's cool and you can choose not to use it, you just won't be able to use any browser, website or other proprietary program that asks for it.
>>737225086That isn't possible, deadlock doesn't have Linux build afaik.
>>737228863>the people pushing for gnome, systemd, selinux, pulseaudio and every single other cancer in linux are somehow the less corporate distro
>>737229970>CachyOS also isn't more idiot-proof than ArchIt is, simply because it has a proper installer. Once you're inside, it's normal Arch. The only hard part about base Arch is installing and configuring it. Cachy does that all for you.I don't recommend Pop, or even Mint. Not for gaming.
>>737226019>What are you working on?KDE Plasma bugs.
>>737232163Inderesding
>>737231950Arch also has archinstall, sure the live installer has a GUI, but it also failed to present my dumb ass with a functional distro every time I've tried it in the past when Arch just werked.It doesn't work on VMs and there's probably some minor additional tweaking you need to do on some programs even on baremetal. I don't have that much experience with CachyOS, since I usually don't stick with it for more than a day when setting up a new PC because it just causes some issue that I don't want to put up with on a fresh install, so maybe I'm just retarded and unlucky, but that's what I mean I say that it's just proof against a different type of idiot.
>>737212845>denuvo HV bypasses dont work on linuxIt's over...
>>737212845Yeah, it's great. I laugh at wincucks.
>>737232525>Arch also has archinstallI know, and I said as much. But it's still not easy. You still need to choose every package. Someone new to linux isn't going to know what they need and why. Cachy doesn't ask you what you want, it just picks it all for you. I think you have been unlucky. I personally use arch btw but I installed Cachy on my kids PC and it was so fucking easy. 0 issues and everything just werks.
>>737213068I still dualboot in case of multiplayer shenanigans when playing with friends. Windows is such a miserable experience in comparison. Slow, UI is garbage, my hard drive keeps filling up for no reason and games run pretty much the same except for having more privileges in accessing your files. Also >windows updates lolSwitching OS is a net plus for anyone besides Photoshopfags and very specific work related software.
>>737232940>besides PhotoshopfagsI doubt there's any niche function that Photoshop can do that Krita or GIMP can't for 99% of people.

>>737233289GIMP can do everything photoshop could just in 5 more steps per step and destructively and it may crash along the way.
Yeah. My only issue is sometimes explosions or sudden loud noises make my speakers pop. Other than that I'm having a blast. Wish I knew how to fix that though
>>737234045Fixed from V3
>>737233940I don't reinstall every time a new memedistro comes out. I'm still on ext4, too.
>>737234083Does it happen when you have no sound playing before the sudden noise or regardless of whether there is noise playing?
>>737234186Doesn't happen with no sound. It's just specifically when there's a sudden spike in volume or a gun shot is too loud. It's weird. My speakers aren't popping on windows so it's definitely not a hardware thing.
>>737212845>Are you gaming on linux?Yes, but I don't care that much about privacy anymore. My main concern is security and I'm a pirate and I can't bring myself to install and run cracked games on windows as Admin.So yeah, the reason I'm on Linux is basically piracy/security and the other big thing is local AI, ROCm on AMD Linux is so much better for shit like ComfyUI and Ollama.
>>737212845>Are you gaming on linux?yep
>>737234257What I am asking is if it happens when you have no sound playing, and then suddenly you get loud audio playing or if it also happens while you already have some quieter audio playing and there's suddenly a loud noise. I guess you did kind of answer it.If it's the latter I don't know.

The new layer effects are highly unstable (don't try to edit text content while it has layer on) and work in unintuitive ways like often being cut off by the layer boundary. Shit legitimately crashes every 15 minutes when you're using them.It can do the same thing, but by god is it painful.
>>737234743Krita is a million times better, anyway. GIMP's a wash—I don't understand why anyone would bother with it.
>>737234802at this point I'm so used to using Crap I don't want to relearn Shit
>>737212845>Are you gaming on linux?Nope, I like my current /comfy/ Windows 11 LTSC I might get a second NVMe in the future where I'll install cachy os, but for now Windows LTSC is good enough.
>>737235037You don't want to learn new shortcuts so you will continue paying a load of money to eat shit?Krita is extremely easy to use if you're used to photoshop. Barely any learning curve.

>>737215280This depicts trends. When ubuntu (hate that name too) was popular Linux was not shilled by thousands of parasitic streamers and social media influencers. Now, things are different because zoomer retards flock to the product what is getting the most attention. And these things come and go. I doubt that in five years from now people even remember what cacheos or bazzite (another set of retarded names btw) were.Such is life.Only a retard thinks distro is a separate operating system. It's still Linux.
>>737236208What I mean is that Ubuntu's popularity stems from 2010+ This zoomer graph doesn't show more than shit youtuber trends.
>>737236208why would cachyos go down? the only one that can make it lose is the dev team imploding, the distro is excellentubuntu and manjaro did implode
>>737235836Oh I am dyslexic. Yeah I get it. I am a GIMP cuck too, even though I know Krita is better.
>>737236208>>737236256Anon Ubuntu is a garbage OS for users. The CLI version is fine for servers, great even, but as a normal PC user it's dogshit, and for gamers it's worse.Ubuntu is no longer the distro people try when they try linux, and that's a good thing. I don't care about your schizophrenia.
>>737236839It probably will in time when something comes along that does what it does but better. Anon is probably upset that his distro of choice is no longer anyones first choice.

>>737235530I've just been running arch. It just works for me. It's easier for me to adapt since I was used to the steam deck already
>>737235530It's coming this year. They added printer support to SteamOS. They had no reason to do that on a gaming machine. >>737238915I did the same. It's weird but also not weird how Arch became THE gaming distro. Though I had no prior experience with it, I don't have a steam deck. I just like to tinker.
>>737238882the cope about waiting doesn't make sense at allwhen steamos arrives it'll just be archbuntu, something that a user beyond the very casual level will find restrictive on a desktop
>>737239316So Windows or Mac?This is the exact audience they want
>>737212845Gaming on linux is like driving a car that is duct-taped together,it is squeaking, and you can hear the engine clicking, almost as if it is desperately trying to keep it together, struggling to drive.it doesn't feel right and it never will,this is why 100% of the games that come out target Windows.all developers want their games to be run on Windows.not some hacky concoction..
>>737239856this but windowslinux is carefully constructed by professionals, windows has been cobbled together by jeets that are sent to work on it as punishment as that's not where microsoft makes their money

>>737240209>>737240281of course people who get tricked into using a server operating system as their main gaming machine will defend their choice,it is only human nature.
>>737240714Fact is, everyone defending Linux has used both Windows and Linux, while those against Linux have mostly only used Windows. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>737240752so 99% of pc users who game on windowsand 100% of all the game devs who target windows....they.... are.... WRONG??? and don't know what the fuck they are doing??interesting..

>>737212845Ye, been using Nobara for a little over a year. It's breddy good, only had some minor problems along the way, which I think were just KDE problems and not the distro itself. My games run fine.I might be switching to CachyOS though. My CPU died recently so I've had to use my old PC for a bit. Decided to wipe the bloated W10 drive I had and try out Cachy until I get a new CPU and so far it Just Werks™.
Looks like the Indians just got home from work.
>>737212845yes
>>737241823>My CPU died recently
>>737220312>enabling any new Linux feature in 2026 without at least a few years of GSoC and testing to shake out and fix all the gaping security holesenjoy your 0days I guess.
>>737242109At least it's still covered by the warranty, so it's not all bad, just a bit annoying that I can't use my main PC which has much better specs.
I have arch installed on a separate partition, and everything that I need works surprisingly well on it. But I can't stand how KDE is ugly. And the idea that I depend on a compatibility layer to run software that runs natively on windows bothers me a bit. It gives me the feeling that a game might be working now, but someday it won't, and then I'll need to read lines and lines of wine logs to see what went wrong. Windows feels bloated, but everything works. Linux frees me from dumb corporate decisions, but it feels like it's going to break at any moment.
>>737213479speaking of proton 11, does this improve compatibility for arm based mac systems?
>>737242686based schizophrenic.
>>737215852>swap disabledwhy? use zram
>>737212845I tried, I can't get the mouse cursor to stay in the game window when playing the disc release of Age of Mythology when set to a custom 1440x1080 resolution on my widescreen monitor. It's literally just Age of Mythology that is like this, other games like WarCraft 3 work fine at that resolution and the cursor stays where it should. I have tried every solution given, like using gamescope, and nothing works. So, I'll play it on Windows 10 until that hopefully gets fixed one day.
>>737242936windows pagefile shook a generation of computer users
Peak gaming.>>737242686>But I can't stand how KDE is uglyYou can piss easily theme it to whatever you want. >the idea that I depend on a compatibility layer to run software that runs natively on windows bothers me a bitIt's a silly way of thinking. On Windows 32bit games and stuff rely on wow64 while running DOS stuff on XP and 2000 relied on NTVDM. Native Directx has worse performance than DXVK,vkd3d. Wine/proton containers have many benefits like anti cheat DRMs stay in the container. On Windows EAC stays on your PC even after game uninstall.>It gives me the feeling that a game might be working now, but someday it won'tThat is very very rare but that's why you can use older Proton versions.
>>737243425is that pirated?
>737242939Proton, GE, regular wine? Did you set the res with -xres -yres? Force a virtual desktop in winecfg?
>>737243516Nope.
>>737243541 Figured, I want to try the game but not paying full price. Only HV releases exist and they don't work on linux.
>>737243527>>737242939
>>737243516Winblows HV method doesn't work on Linux dummy.
>>737243585I know that retard, which is why I was asking
>>737243576>HVI wouldn't touch that shit even on Windows. Couldn't that even reach your UEFI? Just buy the game from a key seller. Those are cheaper (I did the same from Instantgaming).
>>737243815Yeah i wouldn't either.
>>737226838It was my only ssd for a long time, so yeah I have EDF4 and 5, monster hunter wilds, and a couple other big games on it>>737242936You're right I should
yes, steam deck. playing code vein rn
>>737212845Yes, been for the past 2 years or so. Fedora has been my go-to but I had to reinstall when I wanted to expand a partition so I took the opportunity to try CachyOS.Only used it for a few days but I've been enjoying it so far. Doesn't really seem all that different from EndeavourOS other than the gayming branding. I have had an easier time doing game development on Cachy compared to Fedora as well.
>>737212845I run a 24/7 minecraft server with me and some friends (5) and it's just comfy on linux
>>737244137I'm glad to see people are having fun in the city of CWCville
>>737244137Speaking of, how is modding Minecraft on Linux? I mean it's already a fucking retarded shitshow in Windows.
What is the appeal of Linux? It seems to be growing more and more popular over the years. Is it solely because of "privacy" reasons? Or do people just want to use something besides Windows and Mac OS? Hell, I'll be looking at reviews for games on Steam, and everyone is always like "DOES IT WORK ON LE LINUX?!?" and "BLAH BLAH BLAH LINUX BLAH LINUX" so clearly a lot of gaymers use it.
>>737244312Same shit, i just use a launcher. It's pretty much universal cus its java, so if you hated it on windows you'll hate it on linux.
>>737213231Now run Need For Speed Most Wanted 2005 you nigger. please anon, I beg of you
>>737244328Things run faster for the most part. Emulators for me have a faster response when I use them on linux and applications in general. My PC starts really fast as well and it doesn't update unless I tell it to.
>>737244312I use prism launcher because I don't like manually downloading a thousand mods and unzipping them and blahblahblah.Its very easy
I made the autistic switch (autistic because I'm on nixos) and everything just worksFuck this absolute garbage """CEO""". Single-handedly ruined an entire company over this slop.
>>737244328windows is bloated dogshit, mac doesn't have support for anything besides their proprietary creator suite for artists of all professions, so the only remaining choice is linux.
>>737244328I didn't like the day to day of windows with constant restart force updates(just turn em off bro) and windows constantly doing I don't know what on the backend making the desktop experience slow.I also really enjoy tinkering so its fun to learn and discover how my computer works with a snappy desktop and all kinds of lightweight open source tools that do shit they say couldn't be done in windows
>>737244393nta but it does work, played through it last year
>>737244328So i switched over 10 years ago, and it was for two reasons.One, I fucking hate auto-updates with a passion and everything outside of spans lets me disable auto-updates pretty easily.Two, I realized I was reinstalling windows and then spending an hour or two setting it up to stop it being a piece of shit anyway, and at that point why not just use Linux which has a kind of user-unfriendly setup?Then I just slapped the first linux distro that installed right. The only thing that doesn't work are multiplayer FPS with kernel level anticheat and Ubisoft shit, so it hasn't effected me at all.
>>737244328I got rid of windows after they keep forcing updates that fucked with my graphics card. Don't have a problem on Linux.
>>737244328Privacy is one part, but mostly it's the freedom and insurance to be able to run the system you want, not the one Microsoft wants you to run.You can make Win 11 work, and after you have it setup it's decent, but you will always be working against Microsoft's wishes by having to constantly block or remove features and so on. It's just nice to finally use something that welcomes you rather than actively fights against you.The main reason I switched however was because Win 11 was giving me endless bluescreens, so it was more out of necessity than anything else.
>>737243581Proton-GE, the res is set in the game's .ini, virtual desktop puts it in windowed mode and I'd like it to be fullscreen
>>737245241isnt proton-ge no longer updated?
>>737244328Linux doesn't jam some new gay gimmick down my throat every 5 minutes>INTRODUCING CORTANA>INTRODUCING COPILOT>INTRODUCING SKYPE AND ONEDRIVE AND SCRIMBLO BIMBLO AND YOU CAN UNINSTALL THEM BUT THEY COME BACK EVERY UPDATE>INTRODUCING MOUNTAINS OF BLOAT THAT WHEN DEBLOATED GIVE YOU RANDOM ERROR POPUPS THAT DO NOTHING>INTRODUCING FULL SCREEN AD UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENTS>INTRODUCING A NONMOVEABLE TASKBAR
>>737245284Not that I'm aware of. It had an update just last month.
>>737244328For me? UI customization, when windows killed msstyles it deprecated a bunch of themes that I've used for years. The tipping point was two bad win 10 updates in a row that bricked my installation, never even touched 11 but I'm not hearing good things about it>>737245241What about setting a virtual desktop with the same res as the game? That always worked for me (granted your wm/de doesn't draw window decors around it)
>>737244328It's free, and it's currently the option with the least amount of corporation bullshittery tied to it.Windows is going down a retarded route that decided that you don't currently own your own PC and they know what's best for you. Apple is a walled garden, and nobody likes that.
>>737245325On the other hand, I've had KDE beg me for money before
I have a laptop with Arch Linux.I don't really play video games in it because I already have a gaming desktop.The only game I've played on Linux is Sil.www.amirrorclear.net/flowers/game/sil
>>737245284I'm pretty sure it's still being updated, maybe you're thinking of wine-ge? GE did kill that in favor of proton-ge now that it's no longer locked to steam (with umu)
>>737245438>What about setting a virtual desktop with the same res as the game?Tried that, it shoves the game into the upper-left corner at a much lower resolution (800x600 I think) and the mouse cursor still may have left into the black bars, can't remember that part.
>>737245497I'd uninstall KDE if I saw this.
>>737245497Personally I think a single notification popup is better than having to run your entire operating system through a whitelisted firewall and blocking so many connections that you can't even update your system anymore.Then again considering how many updates seem to break Windows these days that might be preferable.
>>737245623huh that's weird, forcing the res with xres yres + virtual desktop just werked for me and I have a multi monitor setup so I would have noticed if it didn't lock the mouse in
>>737244328It's like Windows before it went shit except it has even more functions. But for me: gaming and themes. The last good Windows was 7.

>>737244328it's fun and you can actually trust your computer again
>>737212845I was and then modern kernel dropped support for my ancient card so I just use Debian to browse the web and shit.
>>737244328Using windows 10 was miserable for me, I tolerated it for a decade but it was too much. When I bought a new computer I couldn't bring myself to install windows 11, which I like even less than 10.I just don't want to hate using my personal non-work computer. Nothing to do with abstract shit like privacy. It just doesn't feel like I own my computer with windows after 7.
>>737247341I assume I should be able to replace your custom res with 1440x1080 and it should work? I'll give this a try if I get some free time, I'd love to switch to Linux full-time. I forget, is there anything extra I need to do with Heroic Games Launcher to get Gamescope working and enabled? It's been a bit.
>>737245682Then disable it before you see it, dumbass. Otherwise you'd be uninstalling it yearly.
>>737246068You don't go to windows when KDE starts nagging you for money, you switch to Xfce, the White man's DE.
>>737215280>>737224561mint is a ubuntu fork and is the most installed linux distro there is. Ubuntu is more popular than ever retards

>>737248045Yeah, no virtual desktop, no windowed mode, just that line>is there anything extra I need to do with Heroic Games Launcher to get Gamescope working and enabledI don't think so, flatpak version could have some extra steps due to heroic not having access to gamescope
>>737248931it's most well knownit's not the one people choose or install, it's not the one people have on their PERSONAL computers
>>737244328Because proprietary software has been continuously getting worse, and FOSS has been continuously getting better.If some feature in proprietary software doesn't give the manager clout or if someone isn't giving up some bargaining power to push it, then it never gets included or maintained, whereas on FOSS some autist somewhere will want the feature and someone will continue to maintain the thing indefinitely because it's a load-bearing part of their experience.
>>737249106>corporate distro that's just a vehicle for being an internet browser and data entry. a big phoneThis is the stupidest thing I have read in a long time. It is a streamlined version of ubuntu without all the bloat. It is in zero way like a phone and can do anything any other linux distro can do. This is the sad ass pulling at straws of someone who said something stupid and wants to do mental gymnastics to try to avoid admitting how stupid what they said is. Stop posting seething retard. Admit you have no clue what you are talking about, didnt know mint is a ubuntu fork, take the L and move on with on with your life
>>737248235>take Ubuntu>remove everything that makes it Ubuntu>becomes more popular than Ubuntu>despite being a $250 million company with almost 2000 employees they can't even maintain their own desktop environment, >Cinnamon just keeps on truckingIs Canonical the biggest joke in the Linux world?

>>737212845Yes, but I'm planning to buy a Mac Studio with the M5 Ultra chip (80-core GPU variant) and switch to gaming on it instead, with Crossover.
>>737249198cinnamon is for fags. xfce is for patrician chads
>>737248973Thanks. This was after you set a custom resolution in the user.cfg file? Or was that not necessary, and the game updated the internal resolution via gamescope?
>>737249198I mean this is the same story for ubuntu itself. Ubuntu was originally a debian a fork
>>737248113I refuse to use anything but KWin Wayland. All alternatives are inferior and can't utilize my hardware properly.
>>737249198with this in mind >>737249437 it is simply an evolving debian build that keeps getting better and better until it took the majority of the market.
>>737249192no, i was describing ubuntuthere is zero reason to believe mint is the most popular, what are you pulling this from

>>737212845Yeah, I solved the white screen issue on battle.net yesterday and in the process have reduced the input lag in when limiting fps to 30 in-game, got a nice kernel 7.0.0 up and running now all on debian, I am very close to obtaining the same level of performance on debian that i got on windows 11 professional 25h2, just the remaining input lag to solve and it should be much better than windows.
>>737249574It's over...
>>737249525
>>737246479No, you don't understand. All the people who started using Linux since it was at 1% user share in July 2021 are going to realize they were tricked in about two weeks and it will go back to 1%, you'll see. And that recent surge in Linux usage last month? That was just because of Steam Deck, the thing released four years ago which has been out of stock lately because of the RAM shortage.
YeahWish I made the switch years ago.
>>737249525my bad these were for this retard >>737249491
>>737249525>Xfce is for people new to Linux who have something to prove>people who dont want any bullshit coming in their OS that they themselves didnt decide they needed and explicitly installed themselves are only doing it because "they have something to prove" look how cool this anon is everyone because he is insulting people who are smarter than him for doing smart things! 4chinz classic
>>737249525btw I started using linux before you were even born most likely. I got my computer science degree in 2005 little man. Nice fan fic though, had me completely immersed
>>737250268>>737250414Hit a nerve I take it? Don't take it personally, it's just easy to tell. To proud to install what's popular, but to scared to install a WM. You'll get there.
>>737249310No problem, I wanted to replay it anyway lol>This was after you set a custom resolution in the user.cfg file?Nope, the launch commands (xres= yres=) handle the internal res
>>737250837>I was only pretending to be retarded>lol u so mad
made the switch when they ditched w10everything just works, wine works, proton workshaven't run into any issue so farmy os? fedora
>>737249567Printer support needs more than just the drivers, you also need cups. SteamOS has a custom kernel also, which may or may not have included these drivers previously.
>>737249198>Cinnamon just keeps on truckingDo Mint and Cinnamon support Wayland yet?
>>737239095>I did the same. It's weird but also not weird how Arch became THE gaming distro.Fedora is the superior gaming distro, people just dickride Arch because their daddy Gaben uses it for SteamOS
>>737251808Sort of, it's in beta and you can choose to use it. It'll be out of beta pretty soonish unless issues arise. Clem is hyper-autistic about making sure something is as bug-free as possible before adding it to Mint, and Wayland being generally "good enough" in recent years wasn't quite good enough for his standards until recently. That mindset does have its upsides, since Mint has always been rock solid enough to recommend to your tech-illiterate grandma.
>>737252016I started on Nobara but switched to Arch on recommendation from a friend. That and the AUR rather than relying on flatpaks and doing .rpm installs. That said, Terra repo looks kinda neat since I still end up using Fedora at work.
>>737244312It's a shitshow because java as a language is dogshitIt still just werks on linux though
>>737251808Not fully, and frankly I'm not looking forward to Cinnamon's X11 support becoming secondary and eventually deprecated/ignored, because there are things I do with xrandr and xdotool for which the Wayland equivalent is>What's the use case for that? Anyway, that's not possible on Wayland because a display server shouldn't do that, so needs to be implemented by each desktop environment individually, or you can write your own JavaScript program to replace that one-line xrandr/xdotool command. Wayland just works though, please stop using X11 right now!!!>>737252173Apparently the next Linux Mint release will be around Christmas, so there probably won't be any movement on official Wayland support before then.
>>737251040Never tried Fedora but enjoy Anon!
>>737212845No, LMU doesn't work on it.

>>737247735What GPU?
>>737212845yupfinally figured out how to make a 1g1r collection, igir makes it pretty ez
>>737233753So this guy misunderstood what he was replying to, right? I'm pretty sure there was no 3-hour rant in that 8-second webm with no audio.
>>737212845I wasn't expecting gaytracing to work with this GPU on Linux, but it does and it doesn't tank my fps that badly. I'm not sure if I like it, though.
>>737257748why is the gpu pegged at 97% even without gaytracing?
Cachyniggers deserve the rope.
>>737257748Because gaytracing in crapcom games is shit.Those low resolution effects have to run on on PS5 Pro after all.
>>737258065It was just a spike. It usually hovers around 90% with rt off.
>>737242421It's literally in the kernel
>>737213753Anon it's some random tranny emulation project there was always a 0% chance it didn't have linux support
>>737242686>I can't stand how KDE is uglyUse a different desktop environment. You don't have to use KDE.
>>737244093>I had to reinstall when I wanted to expand a partitionWhy? Is this some weird fedora quirk?
>>737242686>And the idea that I depend on a compatibility layer to run software that runs natively on windows bothers me a bit.You're going to hate the inevitable future of PC gaming (emulating x86/64 on ARM).
>>737244328In my opinion the biggest push recently is Microsoft ending support for Windows 10. People have been trying Linux and with KDE Plasma they realise the switch is WAY easier than they assume and just kept using it. For me, I don't really know why I switched. Just decided to try it on a whim, liked it, and deleted my windows partition.
>>737244393https://www.protondb
>>737260164????
>>737249958Honestly, I just assumed the surge was because they were installing SteamOS on a bunch of Steam Machines in preparation for launch, but the breakdown isn't just Arch. It's across the board.
>>737260204He probably meant>https://www.protondb.com/app/1262560but that's the 2012 game.I don't think the 2005 one was ever on Steam.
>>737260453It's across the board because last month had fucked data because of huge wave of bots taking the survey.Now they corrected that.Just look at the windows users and language in the survey.
>>737248235Including Mint and PopOS it's gone from 55% to 20%. That's besides the fact that Pop and Mint remove everything that makes ubuntu ubuntu.
>>737259989>(emulating x86/64 on ARM).it's really notarm is a meme architecture and the industry doesn't want goy shit with no uefiat most it'll just be an accessory architecture, for the foreseeable there's no reason to get off x86if anything it'll be risc-v
>>737252016Talking about Cachy. Nothing Fedora based is close to Cachy. It gets all the Gayman improvements first
>>737252839I like this gif. I stole this gif.
>>737258087No. Fags who are elitist about fucking distros do. Just let people use what they want and be happy that they are using Linux.The more people who use it the better it is for everyone else on it, regardless of what distro you're on.
>>737260627If they removed/corrected all the bots surveys why is it still at 5%?
>>737260875Cachy will be long gone and Fedora will still be standing, much like Antergos before it. The devs are currently in full cuckold mode regarding age verification laws and wrongspeak. You'd be better off just getting used to base Arch itself and making the CachyOS tweaks on your own, its meme distro spinoffs never last very long even when it seems like they'll be around forever.
>>737261292/v/irgins have to turn everything into a console war.
>>737212845i tried but i went back to windows for paint dot net

>>737259638KDE is fucking ugly, but it has all the features I need. I want to use Gnome, but its basically their goal to be as featureless as possible.
>>737261873You're a little retarded, Kevin
>>737262018why is one driver using btrfs and another ext4?
>>737261873Whatever Kevin you silly saurkraut.
>>737262018>olegThey have like 5 names in Russia and you all share them, don't you. Also why do you have 64GB Swap? Have you ever had to make use of tall that?
>>737262171I tried Gnome and had a mild panic attack because I didn't understand what was happening. KDE may have some issues but at least it is comfy.
>>737262219If found that btrfs had higher latency which introduced stutters in some games, so I keep ext4 drive for these special games. I dunno, maybe it was fixed in recent kernel but I still keep it>>737262397>Also why do you have 64GB Swap?That's zram, not real swap
>>737262595I am still on ext4 for my root drive. btrfs may have the cool stuff but ext4 just werks.
>>737261564>he doesnt know about GIMP>inb4 yah GIMP is better than paint .net AND phtoshop combined but I am too lazy to learn how to use something new even it is superior
>>737262794i simply do not like GIMP
>>737212845My DS3 save got fucked up on linux so now I'm annoyed.
>>737262901try krita
>>737262928Do you not use cloud saves?
>>737262981Apparently not, steam saved it locally on windows 10 and linux mint. My save still exists it just doesn't load now. So it being on the cloud wouldn't help.
>>737262794>GIMP can't even rotate text without making it a bitmap and thus unable to be edited after rotation.>Superior to anything
>>737263130Fugg. Did you move your installs? What file system is the game installed on?Maybe steam doesn't have write permissions to the save folder any more for some reason?Purely guessing.
>>737263441GIMP is for making memesKrita is for doing work
>>737263309Just rotate the layers beneath the text.
>>737263441Like, it recognizes the file and says I'm in Irithyl Dungeon but if I go to load it it stays on the loading screen. This happened after I tried to go to the dragon area with the emote but as soon as I tried to skip the cutscene it is stuck in a loading loop. I didn't spend a super long time on that character it's just baffling that it happened at that late point in the game.
>>737263483meant for >>737263309stupid auto scroll
>>737263309bruh you make the text as seperate png (no background) or as the other pimp said put it on its own layer. this shit aint rocket science
>>737261292I would if they stopped treating it as the new arch.
>>737261292On one side I'm happy but on another with so much division and retarded shit canonical and Red Hat is doing it's like an actual fact that some distros are trying to NOT be linux and be windows 2.0 and I feel it's my duty to tell people to not jump from the ship sinking onto the ship currently going towards the same iceberg.But of course, most will tell me I'm wrong because they can't see the iceberg yet.
>>737265292>if they stop treating arch as the new archwhat?
>>737265631I use cachy, btw is the new I use arch, btw. No other arch distro group is like this. No one cares.
>>737265942Gentoo
>>737265396Nobody with any sense recommends Ubuntu but it's still the default distro people think of when they think of Linux.
>>737267842Only because Ubuntu was the first major distro that was normie friendly.Ubuntu was basically all of Linux to the public eye
>>737267958I'm glad that changed to Mint even though I hate Mint.

>>737228279Fixed
I tried running a fitgirl repack of Voice of Cards Beasts of Burden and it just wouldn't install. I've tried Proton (several versions, experimental, & GE), PlayOnLinux, Bottles, and Lutris. Nothing. That's on top of a friend managing to install it then getting it to run but it won't because I get a license error.
>>737272545Used to be required in order to have Loonix as your main OS but is almost completely unnecessary these days, except for a few elo grind games.
I just need Nvidia to fix the motherfucking dx12 regression. I have been screaming about this for probably a year or more, and it still isn't fixed. I am not blaming linux for it, I am strictly blaming nvidia for it, but regardless I will not switch over until thats fixed. it is an actual humiliation ritual that a company as big as nvidia cant bankroll a few furry devs to work on that shit full time.
>>737273039I think they have? Been playing DX12 games without issue on my machine. What exactly is the problem?
>>737273235It isn't fixed yet. DX12 games work on nvidia linux but lose about 20% FPS compared to Windows, it's due to some fuck up or regression in vk3d that they've had to basically redo from scratch. It's probably a weekly talking point in linux gaming circles because its so goddamn annoying.
>>737273335Maybe I just never noticed it because I have a 5080. I play most everything at 4k 120fps with no problem.
>>737273449Well you are in for a treat once they fix it lol. Here's the thread on nigvidias forums, been up for 2 years btw:https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/directx12-performance-is-terrible-on-linux/303207/734actually such a kike company its insane
>>737273516Is this not the fix?
>>737273516why the fuck is nvidia refusing to join mesa
>>737273730Not in the stable drivers and apparently doesn't even work in the beta drivers, I haven't tested myself but that seems to be the consensus

Oh I might give this linux a try, let's check out this thread>400 posts of people with random issuesNah, I'm good.
I knew Windows couldn't count but I didn't expect the same of its users
>>737283049Not every post is someone having issues, just most of them.
>>737242740Yes, but probably not until the next release of CrossOver. Hopefully the next minor release.
>>737283776Once the Steam VR is out ARM will get full proton support.
>>737284109CrossOver doesn't use Proton directly, it uses Wine (which Proton also uses). However, CrossOver has some different obstacles it needs to deal with; most notably, Apple Silicon doesn't have 32-bit ARM hardware which complicates emulating 32-bit x86 games with good performance. It can be done - Windows 11 comes with an emulator called Prism that does it really well, and you can actually get great performance on a lot of older Windows games in a Windows 11 ARM VM on a Mac, where CrossOver would give you terrible performance. But CrossOver doesn't have that kind of thing yet.It's also questionable as to whether they'd integrate that kind of translation into base Wine, given that it's an Apple-specific problem that wouldn't be relevant to Linux running on non-Apple ARM64. So the CrossOver devs might just try to implement it in their own product. They are the ones doing most of the development of Wine, so they probably have the know-how, the question is whether there's demand for it; if people just want to play newer games that don't get Mac releases but are 64-bit anyways, then no point trying to get old games to run on CrossOver, you can play stuff like Satisfactory or Trepang2 via CrossOver just fine as it is.
>>737284416I don't know what I or you are talking about all I want is VR to be good. I'm not even gonna buy a frame I just want to benefit from it.
>>737273792Can't milk businesses for all their worth if the code is just open.
>>737284741We were talking about gaming on Mac.
>>737285235It's "mostly" open now and they've only gated the latest shit, as long as your gpu is 20XX or above.The fact that their entire business is AI now and all AI runs off of linux kind of forced their hand. I doubt it will ever be fully open like AMD though.
>>737229970Damn, Terry was right again.
No, modern linux is worse than modern windows, I can disable windows updates and not have any issues.
>>737285451windows update was one such issue, however.
>>737285451If I don't want to update linux I don't even have to do that, I simply do not update.
>>737285492Ofcourse it is, unauthorized access to your system is always an issue.>>737285543I also do not update, because I chose to disable it.
ok cool however you don't even have to disable updates on Linux you can just not update
>>737212845I'm playing half life 1 on it because valve screwed over the mac userbase worse than the artifact fanbase and one day they will pay for their crimes
>>737285385it'll never be fully open because nvidia considers the software end of their GPUs to be the real product you pay for. CUDA alone is worth literally trillions (until the AI bubble pops). with AMD and intel the driver software is just the thing that makes the product work, plus they were already doing huge amounts of linux kernel work that benefits desktop users so fuck it why not, may as well make the linux drivers easy to use and distribute.nvidia trying to dictate the entire linux desktop ecosystem with shit like eglstreams was just pure hubris though. in hindsight it's funny that it took them literal YEARS to cave on this even though literally no one else had any reason to do things their way
>>737285649I have never played a halflife game except for Counter Strike and only when that was still a mod.

How do you guys mantain a Gentoo desktop with all the 32bit Wine deps, Qt deps, other shit getting pulled in and not have it break with circular dependencies and not having a giant 32bit copy of everything.
