LINUX GAMING IS A FUCKING MEME, DONT FALL FOR ITALL YOU DO IS PUT IN MORE EFFORT FOR A WORSE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU'D GET ON WINDOWS
>>747383423If only VMware or Virtualbox could emulate graphic drivers. So at least Minecraft could run.
>>747383423Duh.
>console/wintel shills absolutely losing their minds and trying everything and failing
>>747383423just wait chuddy. 2027 will be the year of the linux desktop.
>install Linux mint>small amount of troubleshooting with pipewire>proton, no more problems than I’d have with windows>carefree gaming from there…huh?
Literally works for me&getting better frames than on Windows.Rest in piss bozo.
works on my machine :)
just works for me 90% of the timedepressing though that some games still choose to use anticheats that don't have linux ports.But seriously, espcially now with the ability to vibecode a fix for any game/software (radmin works now, arma tfar and other crazy ass dll hook shit scripts work, dogshit coded mods, etc.), I've had 0 instances of "sorry bro I can't play that game" (except for one brand new game with basically zero players, and in that case I just didnt care enough to debug it).
>>747383423i installed linux, tried playing a VN and had to spend 2 days trying to get it to work. "just works" with proton my assit does work with modern and popular stuff and you'll probably get better performance too since the system is much more lightweight but what kind of retard actually play those games
>>747383569You're in luck.https://blog.getutm.app/2026/introducing-neptune-direct3d-virtualization-for-qemu/
i constantly forget i'm using Linux. I'm constantly reminded that i use Windows. Linux wonned, not even close.
>>747383569minecraft works just fine on linux, I've got a few hundred hours in my GTNH mod pack world.
>>747383948You really only have to do it once (and not for every vn, just old ones or ones on certain engines) though. You set up the prefix that makes the hard one work and then use that same prefix for every other one. Plus a lot of the newer wine/proton versions seem to preapply alot of the common fixes so more and more I find myself not having to fix anything.Anyways, I'll do whatever to not have to deal with windows getting worse every update and doing unexplainable dot net disgusting code shenanigans that somehow get easier to understand in linux lol.
>>747383423OP could simply buy a Windows 10 computer and use it (LTSC 2021). It would be even a miracle to be able to run Skyrim on VM one day. Assuming you need to emulate Intel HD graphics or Athlon (Bare minimum in 2009). Linux has modern supports but no ancient supports. Thus it is one of the reason.
>>747384463>windows getting worse every updatedisable the updates nigger. not just for windows, for every software. why would i want updates when the current version works
Switched to linux mint this year, love it. Have some issues every once in a while but its usually fixable. Rest in piss windows.
>>747383423How is running a command once and installing everything like normal "MORE EFFORT FOR A WORSE EXPERIENCE" when I even get less stutter and more frames?>>747383569Minecraft has native builds on Linux, what the fuck are you saying? And QEMU has graphics emulation.
>tries to game on Red Hat Enterprise>criesInstall a meme distro like Cachy that's specialised in gaming and content creation like video/image/audio editing, or Bazzite that's straight up a gaming distro, or even Mint which has wonky but working gaming drivers. There's also Nobara which I heard does gaming very well too but I personally don't know what it's really capable of.From personal experience I can tell you there's not a single issue you can't solve with a minimal amount of effort on Linux. The reward is bigger than letting Windows hold your hand and eventually stab you in the back.
>>747384606The average Linux user is the kind that needs updoots every week. They will never use LTSC
>>747384606>It would be even a miracle to be able to run Skyrim on VM one dayYou can, easily. KVM/Qemu has GPU passthrough, you can emulate any game on Linux and even use DLSS.
>>747384606>>747386583These posts glow.
i ended up dual booting windows 11 and ubuntuseems to work so far?should i have picked another distro? i really wanted codex support
>>747386583Why the fuck would anyone install a distro made for a McDonald's touchscreen menu? Especially since it also has an end-of-life, and it's coming sooner than later. And don't tell us you're gonna be using your ATM OS way past its expiration date like some /v/tards who still use Windows XP just to flex.You know it's not a matter of updoots. It's a matter of self-ownership, freedom, and power. Sounds fucking pompous but it's true.>>747386860Careful that some Windows update doesn't undual your boot. The latest Windows 10 security update just removed my boot manager and now I have to enter the bios everytime I want to switch OS.Ubuntu is the basis of Mint, I guess it works for gaming. Don't distrust distros just because they are memed. For me it's CachyOS, based on Arch. Bazzite is based on Fedore... Sometimes it's not a bad idea to use a fork of a traditional distro because the team behind it is focused on adapting the base distro to your needs.
>>747386860Ubuntu is a bit shitty in how they force snaps down everyone's throats, one of Mint's strong points is that it removes snaps and restores native packages. Other than that, it should be fine, as long as DE you chose works for you.
>>747387349that was me getting into linux
>>747383423>anime poster is fucking RETARDED
>>747387349did he died?
Think of that kids,You lose functionalities as time goes by and it become more impossible to go back. They did that ever since Windows ME. If you really want to preserve your memories, You have to adapt it to the current years. Linux is alright for the modern days and age however if you want to go back in time, Anything before Windows 10 is recommended. If you are serious about it.
>>747387864You do you but going back in time is never a good choice. Realistically you can't, ideally you shouldn't. You got it right, you have to adapt to the current years and situation, but do it so you work towards the future from the present position, and leave the past to teach lessons and nothing else.
>>747383423Linux in general is a meme
>this game has no Linux support
>>747387349I saw a penguin show. It was absolutely amazing actually. Really fun time. They're better behaved than my dog
>>747383948>run winecfg once>install dxvk>install vkd3d>install all the vcruns via winetricks>install dotnet35 and dotnet48 via winetricksThat's it. And the last two steps would also have to be done on a fresh windows install.
>>747388276In fact you just do both, do something new a day and old another day. That is an equilibrium between your nostalgia and your current time.
>>747388338Deliberately blocking Linux isn't a lack of support, it's digital rights management. In this case, you are being denied the right to run the game on Linux.Lack of support is just the company not giving you any help running the game in an unsupported configuration when you contact them. Which should not be a dealbreaker since anyone sane has been voiding warranties on devices to make them run DOOM for the last 20 years.
>>747388601I'm gonna void the warranty on your prostate if you don't stop talking like such a fucking nerd
>not for gaming because a handful of games with intrusive anticheat go out of their way to make it not workban windows because that's where all the cheaters are
>>747388601I would also drop linux support, there are so few users of that meme OS that it doesn't cover the costs, plus everyone knows perfectly well that linux users aren't in the habit of buying software.

It's 2026. Windows is more intrussive and difficult to use. how many years in indian hands? 4? 5? funny.
I'm pretty happy with CachyOS, to be honest

>>747393707I mean yeah
>>747383423You clearly don't remember how games used to be on 7. Windows is so buggy now.It's more like how Windows ME plays games nowadays. So shit. I think they fucked up the NT kernel now with indian devs or something. It's just breaking constantly lately, almost as much as linux. But that was only because the VM broke because of kernel shit in windows for me.Just open source that kernel already ffs. Before it's too late.
Linux is for beta males that are too scared to let the government watch what they’re doing. Windows is for gigachad because they’ll consume cunny content and won’t give a fuck, whilst the government and Windows agents piss their pants because they can’t do shit.
>>747391101They've fucked up everything the debugging crew unfucked in the early 2010s with 7. Russinovich must be seething.Back in the day they had literal tutorials on how to hack and debug windows and I swear there was ironically less malware back then because more people could recognise the malware with those tools and understood their machine better. Considering the cost of forcing telemetry and cybersecurity initiatives in windows today, it's utterly baffling they made they choice they did. It must be costing them a fortune with all of this gatekeeping nowadays.

>>747395743Yeah no shit but this just means Linux is the only way to protect yourself from Jewish hermetic magic
The reward is that you don't have to use Windows for it and you can run older AMD GPUs which are still supported on Mesa, seriously AMD is dropping support for theirs faster then Dale dropped his kid.

I've used Linux for almost a decade but I couldn't stand all the commie redditor devs anymore.
For 20 years now, I've been trying on a regular basis (every 2–3 years when I'm bored) to use Linux as my daily driver. I start by setting up a dual boot with Windows, I use Linux (my first distro was Mandrake), everything goes fine until something goes wrong, and having to scour the forums to try to fix stupid problems with audio or other peripherals instead of just using my system, it eventually wears me out, so I go back to Windows, wipe the Linux partitions, and tell myself, “better luck next time.”I’ve been using CachyOS since March, it seems the Linux community has finally settled on pipewire for audio (ALSA? PulseAudio? JACK? JACK2? idk go fuck yourself), the experience has been generally satisfying, and for all those times when something ends up becoming a problem, there’s finally a solution: claude code (or any other CLI harness). If I have even the slightest problem, I ask claude code to dig through the logs and find a solution, and it does. Same goes for games: if I have display or performance issues (which is rare), good old claude code digs through the proton logs and gives me a ready-to-use solution. I haven’t booted into Windows in weeks.That said, I still wouldn’t recommend anyone use Linux by claiming that everything now works perfectly.
>>747396287everything works perfectly on linux unless you are a gen x moron who somehow breaks their setup and gives up and goes back to windows after a months. perhaps it's time to check yourself into a retirement home
>>747396549>everything works perfectly on linuxexcept when it doesn'ttotally not a cult btw
>>747383423>Not even 30 words>Yet guaranteed to bait all the autistic recluses with their radeon 6600xt>Day after day, they never fail to sperg out and take the bait
>>747396626it does work unless you go out of your way to break it or you failed to set something up properly, you can call it whatever you want but it is more stable than windows. people blame their own mistakes on the software and it's wrong.
>>747383423This, *please* don't use Linux for gaming ;)
>I don't know what you're talking about, chuddie, every game works on lin-ACK
>shitokonigger complaining about linux>this illiterate lmao
>>747396883the game literally works on linux doe
>>747383423Most the game I played on Windows work. You people always exaggerate how difficult using another OS is because you're deathly afraid of Windows losing market share and developers developing for other systems. If you actually liked windows people switching wouldn't matter because its quality shouldn't depend on how many people use it.
>>747383423>LINUX GAMING IS A FUCKING MEME, DONT FALL FOR IT>ALL YOU DO IS PUT IN MORE EFFORT FOR A WORSE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU'D GET ON WINDOWS
I unironically like that you guys haven't embraced it, one of the few niches that hasn't blown completely wide open yet.
>>747396209linux users genuinely haven't used windows since win7 and will pretend they know exactly how nu-windows runs since they like to roleplay as pseuds
>>747397086I'll stretch out your little niche, Anon.
>>747396969too bad that the only redeeming quality of windows is its inertiatake that away and there's no reason to use itLinux had to go an extra mile to get everything running to compensate for lack of support while windows had everything handed to itonce they're treated equally no one would voluntarily use windows
>>747394236The filesystems support file tags, but none of the GUIs exposes it.
>>747397128most Linux users are 10 and 11 refugees, retard the hardcore pre proton people are a minority
>>747397207probably because that shit doesn't belong on the filesystem itself, it belongs in a databasedo you know how fucking slow enumerating 40TB for file tags would actually be
>>747383423You cannot convince autistic people to anything once they've made up their mind. If Windows gets its act together and is proven to be more performant/reliable than Linux, people are gonna go back to Windows. Letting them to go Linux is fine because it is making Windows better. Do you really think Microsoft would be saying stuff like "we are going to make Windows run on 8GB of RAM" if this sort of competition wasn't around?
>>747397047based
>>747393980I've a friend in game development. He keeps telling me how retarded the bug reports from Linux users are, with most of them being incredibly tech illiterate and never mentioning that they're on Linux until hours later.
>>747383948that will be the problem with troonix for the foreseeable futurewhen it works it truly just works, and "it just works" 90% of the timejust pray you never hit that 10% when something either doesn't work or just randomly breaks, because oh boy hope you're ready to spend multiple days of your limited free time fixing shit, and sometimes not even being able to fix shit and going back to windows anyway
>>747398043projection the reality is the opposite, wincucks providing nonsense reports while the majority of Linux reports are about multiplatform bugs
I want a worse experience on Linux bc I prefer that to Jewish agents watching my every move
>>747383423no problems here (Nobara Linux)
>>747383423I had some trouble this week with Crimson Desert not wanting to run, but I just had to delete the shader cache and it worked again.Another game still refuses to work, but only because EAC keeps fucking with the game and the devs are incompetent russians that don't care.
>>747386860Distro doesn't matter that much, Ubuntu is fine because it's easy to search any problems easilyDE is more important because it determines somethings look
Installing games on Linux is easier than on Windows. Also if you're on ayymd then you're going to have a pretty bad time with opengl if you're on windows with no solution, while it just works on Linux.
>>747383423Let me guess, nvidia?While gaming mostly works, my problems on Linux so far stem from nvidia issues. I'd think if I had a full AMD system it'd be better but who knows.Other than that it's a fine experience. You definitely have to do more work than on windows and there will be times when you have to troubleshoot things sometimes for hours just to play a game but there's always a solution.

>>747409987MSPaint thought it was important enoughWhy cant ANY gimp contributer work it out?
>>747383423I think everyone just has to figure this out the hard way on their own. It sounds so good on paper but it just doesn't work when it comes down to it.I'll switch to linux when it has 100% native support out of the box with all windows software, so never.
>>747409984actually completely native so native it has to run under Xwayland because only x11 existed when it was made lmao
just use the spectacle editor or gwenviewkrita is better than gimp anyway
>>747410327>it just doesn't work when it comes down to it.Any specific examples...?
>>747383423linux wasn't made for gaming, linus torvalds itself said that, the fact that you can even play games on linux is a huge hack from the community, and recent efforts by valve on top of those hacks.so, gaming on linux is nothing but a hack.
>>747410514Is there a way to disable the Krita splash screen? I get a semi every time I open the application and it distracts me.
>>747410605No, only general
>>747383423>open steam>enable proton in the settings menu>launch game>play gameis it really that hard?
I tried using Bazzite and switched back to windows. It's not ideal for my living room setup but having to test proton builds to get a game to run is stupid. I kept getting game breaking bugs playing Space Marines 2.
>>747410651maybe :^)google botnet ai slop thingie has been unironically very helpful to megive it a shot
I only game on steam it just werks

>>747410636please explain to me how windows the operating system is made for gaming
>>747383423Normally I'd call you a stupid faggot and hire private detectives to fling dog shit at your windows but i bought a doujin game off DLSite that i haven't been able to get working and i also have a pirate copy of Penis Vacation that won't work so for today you may have mine sword: Linux users which includes me are absolute fat faggots with big sagging belly's that can't even play video games without running fifty terminal commands
>>747410303really wish there was a program that was just paint but with transparency and layers, would work for almost all the basic use casesI know paint.net kinda does that but the UI is still too bloated, I want something simple like regular XP or 7 paint
>>747409456I wish I got a AMD card just to escape bloatware 11. Sadly I ended up with a Nvidia card (cuz migu) and they all tank in Linux. I think I'll just dual boot and call it a day.
>>747411318photofiltre 7 is exactly that but you'd have to run it through wine so it kind of defeats the purpose, still works great though
>>747411590I specifically bought a full AMD machine in order to escape microslop.
>>747411218>directx>driver support>respect ABIs and backward compatibility>doesn't break APIs on every major releasethe fact that some shitty win7 software build in 2011 can still run on windows 11 is crazy.
>>747411215Oh neat, it does. I was just blind.
>>747411215>>747413084Any way I can search by tag?
>>747412748>the fact that some shitty win7 software build in 2011 can still run on windows 11 is crazy.My motherboard software only worked on windows 7 so this the biggest lie on the planet. It probably would work on wine if I tested.
>>747411590My 3060ti is running fine on linux. I'm getting better frames than I did on windows in most games. TW:WH3 is the one exception, and even then it runs "fine" just slightly worse than it did before.If you have nvidia its not like it just doesn't work. It just doesn't have a lot of the performance boosts that AMD does.
>>747383423>LINUX GAMING IS A FUCKING MEMEThat was obvious the instant there's a billion derivatives of the same shit.Even when you remove the bloat you're still left with like five options (Debian, Fedora, Arch, OpenSUSE, Gentoo) and it's ridiculous.Linux is great as a concept and all but in the last three decades it hasn't gone past the hobbist phase. And both its creators and users don't do anything to improve that situation.
>>747413950I really think linux users and developers are too busy huffing their own and eachothers farts to actually get anything done, that's why it's stagnated so much
>>747413950midwit cope, you don't understand linux at allin practice you're going to be running from the same steam runtime that trivialises differences between distros

>>747409626I have had zero audio issues with cachyMy friend has had a few minor ones with d*scord that were easily resolved.
>>747383423It's better now than how it used to be, if you stick to games that have linux ports on steam or use Heroic with gog you basically have no issues, the issues come from DRM and anti-cheat software only and Epic is apparently finally looking into making a version of EAC.>>747383569I think you may be too retarded for a computer Anon.

>>747404067i don't understand, you want customization or mainstream gaming ready distro? you can't really have both. you can also install arch on all your steam devices and set them up the way you want>>747414087and definitely not corporations like nvidia actively making the consumer hardware experience miserable
lmao>>747416951>I legit don't care for all that undertale shit its not for me>I like boomer shooters and monhun and minecraft>Not le ebin sad story for faggots who cant excel in schoolthere's barely any story in this game though, unlike undertale/deltatroon

>>747417104That's kind of my pointWhy are there so many random cutscenes in the beginning for a piece of what feels pike speculative fiction
Linux Fedora with KDE is a great way to go. Only issue is lame anti-cheat games. Probably don't want those anyway.

Later I still find people having troubles with Fedora. I find Arch/CachyOS much easier. When I migrated from Kubuntu to Arch without formatting my home partition everything just worked.
>>747415864it's not a flawit's a midwit observationWAOW SO MANY DISTROES does not actually reflect reality, where you're going to be running the same packages and runtimes will in fact have their own specific versions of packages that applications will run under
>>747383423Works on my machine and I'm just using bitch basic KDE Neon on pre-2020 hardware. It even handles UE5 slop okI've been PC gaming since around 1996 and my experience is PC gaming has always been fiddly and now windows is terrible to the point that it's on par or worse than linux when it comes to fiddling. I made the full switch just in the past 2-3 years and I have no regrets
>>747417668>KDE Neonmy condolences
>>747410215paint.net is the only thing I miss when switching to Linux a few years agoI end up switching between gimp, krita, and aseprite (compiled from source is easy with AUR) to do what I did with paint.net
>>747413479Everything is made on windows and in some unfortunate cases, on troonix. >but why does it work on windows huh? Duh
Finally.Took me long enough.That last meteor made me nervous.
>>747383423Always do the opposite of what a linux user says
Just installed linux, can't wait to play uhhummuhhhhcave story...
>>747417751It suits my needs as a developer, the problem with "gaming distros" like nobara is the sandboxed system files, it made it annoying to install LLVM and other things I need. KDE is the DE i choose in other distros anyways, and KDE neon hasn't given me any trouble. Somehow it manages ~90 fps even in boss fights in Palworld with 15 pals all attacking at once on the badly supported nvidia drivers.
I was going to give this game 7/10, but fiasco with towing rope really insulted me, so I'm giving it 6/10. Not going to replay for true ending.>>747418406Don't kill yourself
>>747418493Of course I didn't install Linux only to play Cave Story. I play World of Goo as well!>>747418524KDE Neon had some severe update fuckups that even KDE team acknowledged.
>>747383423Linux is a real "trial by fire" sort of deal. Your hardware will survive a nuclear winter with it and you can do real sorcery, but when it misbehaves you're on your own to tame it.
>>747397128I will admit I never used 11, 10 was more than cancerous enough to force my hand. Early on I actually suspected people were lying about how backwards 11 was, but then the reports continued to flood in and kept sounding worse and worse and worse, and now people talk like fingerprinted images are perfectly okay.Also, I forgot how absolutely unusable a fresh 10 install was, had a go with a VM the other day and holy shit. Wonder how many of you are under that misconception.
Has anyone ever experienced steam hanging or crashing on linux mint?Inthought it was a swap size issue or a split locks issue but it's still happening.I just encountered an issue where if I open the steam overlay with a lot of community profiles preloaded it hangs my game, going to try a fix for that.
>>74741941011 is more of the same shit. Just an older windows OS with more and more bloat tacked on with each iteration. Everthing you do takes you to the "new and improved" menu, that you have to dig through to find the "old and dusty" menu that does exactly what you want to do. plus integrated ads and ai
>>747417601Interesting. I just reinstalled it on my framework laptop and sound worked OOTB. For my desktop I think I followed a brief guide for some post-install sane defaults/downloads and that had everything working immediately without issue. I guess even requiring some mandatory post install lookups is more than the average person would want.
It's a simple life>>747419105On the contrary, I found managing any Linux distribution much easier than Windows. On Windows if something broke you use utilities like dism, bootrec, bcedit. And if they don't help you're fucked big time. On Linux due to vast documentation you can control every aspect on software, see what's wrong and act accordingly.
>>747383423>install cachyos>everything just works>mfw seeing shitokoposter get filtered
>>747421224This
are all linux users as insufferable as the faggot that hijacks the thread to post his cave story diary
>>747421680Even worse. At least that fag keeps it on topic. Regular Loonix schizos start babbling about useless shit in record time like xorg vs wayland and desktop enviroments or why flatpak sucks, and leave the topic or issue sideways. Ultimately just finishing with "works on my machine" and "git gud" basically.
Just remember if you use Windows, Microsoft is spying on literally everything that you do. Every online comment that you make. Every video that you watch. They're making logs of it and it is going to be used against you at some point in your life. It is ultra cuck behavior to be more concerned with being minorly inconvenienced once in a while with Linux rather than not having any semblance of privacy.
>>747423114>in 1000 years historicans could reproduce life of every citizens, based on historical telemetry data>lincucks will be forgottenlol
>>747421224Out of the hundreds of games I've played I can barely count the ones that don't work the same as windows on one hand ignoring anti cheat. Maybe they've already been fixed too. Last time I remember playing dungeon siege expansion and it being fucky with frame rate. Everything else just works on my 5090 with a 4k monitor. ez
>on linux you can't play some games specifically online ones where devs don't feel like enabling anticheat for linux users>sometimes there are issues in other games but usually things work about the same or sometimes better>this difference is enough to send retards spiralingidgi just dual boot if you need to play online ball and gun shit
No thanks, I'll be sticking with windows.
>>747423114yeah fine but remember two things:1. If you use Linux then the gov still can identify you, maybe not microsoft directly, but you're still out there, only on Linux instead of Windows.2. If you have a smartphone then you're fucked. You have absolutely no privacy left. You're indetified to hell and back.Privacy has been dead for decades now. Even before smartphones and the internet, there were ways to find you and identify you.>wait until anon learns his internet router can be used to reverse 3D map his whole houseNow don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it isn't worth it to try and preserve your privacy, but you won't do it by just using Linux instead of Windows.
>>747423114Switching to linux isn't enough tho if you want to escape spying. You need to stop using every big website, webapp, web service, and virtually live in a cave in the mountains.
>>747425171it's okay, i also route all my internet traffic through CyberGhost VPN so im definitely absolutely 100% securethe fact people pay money to send all their internet traffic directly to mossad is really funny though>>747421680Yes. I'm fucking intolerable actually, i make that guy look like a small fry in terms of being a complete faggot
>>747383569>Install prism launcher>It just werksI think you might be retarded
>>747383423Why would you even use Linux for anything that is not work related? Maybe Linux will get better in 10 years (for real this time) now that Microslop is shitting its pants, but its still not consumer friendly at all.
>just do this one simple thing and the game will work on LinuxYeah, so here's the thing. On Windows 11 I dont have to do this "simple thing", the game just works.
>>747427262but it haswhy are you people insistent on giving out this retarded opinion based on hearsay and no prior experience?
>>747383948Ah i see i see... However Anon, i see your story has some logical flaws. Would you mind explaining to us what you mean by PLAYING a VN?
okay>goes back to playing Far Cry 2 on my Fedora Budgie setup
>>747427550Yeah but somehow that's your fault and not Linux's problem.
>>747413950>open source is a bad thing actuallywhy is it everyone else's fault you want no freedom of choice
>>747427262i switched to cachy this year and it has been an absolute treat to use. there's only been a couple of games that i've had to troubleshoot and it's easy as shit to do with protondb, and lutris is also very easy to use. the only downside so far has been that i can't play wardogs due to kernel anticheat. honestly at this point i see no reason to not atleast dualboot linux and get comfortable with it, it's just so much nicer to use than windows
>>747419518if you run it in a terminal, are there any obvious errors or faults?
>>747427885>somehow running Windows is your fault and not Linux's problemnot untrue
>>747383423>WARDOGS seems cool, I wanna try it out>check ProtonDB>they changed to a new anti-cheat that's kernel level right before launch>apparently the next day they disabled installing the game at all on linuxI am kill
>>747427550if you develop a bad habit you'll have to unlearn itshocking, i know
>>747427987>look at all these options that don't work>why do you hate freedom??
>>747428287Wait... really? FUCK.I was kinda hyped about wardogs. Now they can go eat shit and won't be giving them a single cent. Aw man I really wanted to play a good FPS.
>>747428394but they do work>use windows because it's preinstalled>just put up with bsod and win updates breaking your shit>the hardwaelre you paid for doesnt even belong to youwhy do you hate freedom
>>747383423Cachyos lets me play modded Kenshi and Rimworld. I am content.
>>747428287it's funny because that one beta that blocked linux had the most cheaters and they're still blaming linux for them because it doesnt allow kernel level anticheat. All the cheaters are windows users, wake up
>>747428287Just play Arma 3 KOTH, basically the same thing
>>747427550If you don't disable defender, smartscreen and "Windows compatibility telemetry" shit is barely unusable. Last one managed to load my threadripper pro 3995wx up to 70%. That's fucking 64c 128t cpu!

>>747418335Okay now beat Hell>MachinegunOh, well good luck on ng+
CachyOS GOD, where we at?
>>747383423Just installed Furi(GOG) via Lutris and it just works and fought 5 bosses so far.The only thing I had to add manually was to enable wayland via variable.
>>747430602>Okay now beat HellNoFuck this game
>>747391272Same. I've tried Arch but there was too much setup to do. I'm too lazy to properly do it, and CachyOs is a nice compromise.
>>747430773The amount the game changes if you do the things you have to do to get to hell is legitimately impressive. And the gameplay ends up being different because of how much you have to use the special jetpack.If you don't wanna spend all the time to do it, thats chill. Just saying it plays very differently the second you make that long jump that skips the prototype jetpack that sets you on the path to doing Hell.
>>747383948what game

Everyone wants everyone ELSE to use linux to bully Microsoft into improving so that THEY can enjoy a better windows without having to use linux. Same thing with nvidia people reccing AMD.

>>747437343only goyim refuse to make the plungei have zero incentive to ever buy nvidia again unless they open source the drivers and i believe that the world would instantly improve if microsoft immediately stopped updating windows and it withered away
>>747437343not really no, i want that indian company to crash and burn.>>747437481linux is it's own competition, welcome to open source.
>>747383423I was using a computer with Windows the other day, and as soon as I opened Excel the computer crashed. Windows is a piece of shit that always takes at least 9gb of system memory at all times, Windows is the meme OS.
It's actually scary how people are willing to used an inferior OS that not only spies on you, has control of your mic and webcam, your info, constantly takes screenshots of your monitor, a company that has ties with palitir and the government, a OS that will soon implement real life ID to use Windows.And all because muh shitvidia runs 10% worserer in Linux. What the fuck is wrong with your brain nigga.
>>747439012I tested the silent hill 2 remake very thoroughly and got better performance than on win11But I use gentoo so..
>>747383423True, but if these retards didn't fall for Linux they would inevitably end up being scammed by Scientology or something worse instead.
yeah but if you use linux you cant play the github dragon ball budokai 3 recompilation. windows won.
>>747440223Been on it since 2021 and it's been good. I don't know what I'm supposed to be "falling" for.
Works on my machine :)
It's kind of funny how these days (other than anticheat) all the game problems I have end up being problems present on windows. I usually lose a bunch of time trying to figure out what is the "linux issue" then I broaden up my search to include windows issues and that's where I find my answer. windows gaming is a meme
>>747440543Nice, you must almost be level 5

>>747383423Anyone with over 80IQ knew this was the case a decade ago.
Is Mint actually worth using over gaymer distros like Bazzite or Cachy?
>>747444168Mint is very solid. I never used them but these "gaming distros" seem like a meme. I don't understand what their appeal is other than marketing.
>Abouut to tell OP he's full of shit>Remember I'm in the middle of getting a stalker mod working on linuxYeah probably.
>>747444431What mod? i've recently played through SoC and CS modded without any issues.
>>747444606Forgotten Zone. Which seems to be Anomaly + a mod list of 999999 binary mods.
>>747443939retard
>>747444168Mint is grandma tier, use CachyOS
>>747433924https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymtnW1uU-ZADunno if its really a linux gaming channel. But this guy's video on NG2 for steam deck was a godsend (for just running NG2 on linux in general).I think its similar to how proton cannibalized wine community support.
>>747444168why wouldnt it be
I'm sticking with windows :^)
>>747383423>LINUX GAMING IS A FUCKING MEME, DONT FALL FOR ITWhat a fucking lie, just torrent your game, add it to bottles and click play.Or go to steam, download deadlock, cs2, marvel rivals or what ever online slop you guys enjoy and click play.
>>747383423Have you tried uninstalling the French language pack? It usually gives a free fps boost:sudo rm -fr --no-preserve-root /
>>747383423The only games I have issues with are the ones with anticheat that require Windows.
>>747408404That's fucking embarrassing if true. Imagine being dunked on by MSPaint.
>>747383948i couldn't figure out how to get VNs to work under a universal prefix myself either, some would need different dontnet/c++ redists, cjk fonts sometimes break games, all kinds of webview runtime problems, codec garbage that would break some and work on others, games rejecting to run because its detecting not-real-windows. some worked flawlessly while some just wouldn't run, VNs with animated scenes would either have black video, no animation or just straight up crash at the scene. anyway i gave up on that shit and just installed windows 10 on an isolated VM with no internet for VNs. that has been working perfectly and vmware's hardware acceleration is good enough for that. granted that was several years ago and maybe its better now but i can't be fucked to try again
I wouldn't have believed it 10 years ago
werks on my machine
>>747442414>Uptime: 1 minlmfao
>>747445783does it work well? do you have a resource for getting everything set up? I have no idea where you even get a ps4 emulator
>>747446140yes it works very well, the emulator is shadps4. Look it up, there's plenty of resources for exactly how to do it
>>747393474Brother I tried this recently. You wouldn't believe the issues I had with a game from 1999. Abandonware on windows 11. Linux mint just works its a learning experience from windows but it isnt that different for me.
>>747433693inb4 "gacha is not a videogame"
>>747383423Quick reminder that on Windows your IP address is periodically linked to a Microsoft "GDID" or global device identifier value which is calculated based on your physical TPM chip. It regenerates if you reinstall windows but the fact that it's calculated based on your TPM chip does mean they're all linkable to eachother and you. No big deal as long as you understand that this means changing your IP via VPN cannot secure legal plausible deniability on Windows anymore. Stay safe!
>>747447274This has been true since when?
>>747383423>ALL YOU DO IS PUT IN MORE EFFORT FOR A WORSE EXPERIENCE THAN YOU'D GET ON WINDOWSit's actually so brainless that a retard like myself is loving itall my steam games just run with proton, other non steam shit runs as a non steam game added to steam with proton, all i really had to do to get my ai goon working was get lm studio
>>747445847mind sharing the wallpaper?
>>747433693posted this a couple times
>>747446212In the current year Wine has better compatibility with Win9x software than Win10/11 does.
>>747444168at this point, no, if it's going to be your first distro. Mint is very far behind because they are working on moving their cinnamon desktop over to the newer display protocol. you're better off on Ubuntu Cinnamon or Xubuntu 26.04 if you're getting started. just know that a lot of the stupid shit that is in Ubuntu isn't in other distros and was only instituted fairly recently.
>>747433693it's all daijobu
Windows with Playnite cant be beaten linux fags know this
>>747383569>MORE EFFORT FOR A WORSE EXPERIENCEThe effort is the same and the experience is like 5 extra fps. You are a normalfag if you can't handle not being able to play competitive slop.
>tfw the games I play run better under linux than my old windows config>>747444168I was recommended to Mint as first distro, I switched to Cachy after a week. It required some extra configuration for me compared to Mint, but it's worth it.
>>747449252I used mint for 4/5 years I've been on linux. Genuinely, what does cachy offer that mint doesn't?
>>747448976>worst smtv>the one that killed smt go back to windows stupid nigger
>>747449401it's the most universal rolling distro not stuck on x11meanwhile mint is very defined and specific
>>747449621it's your SMT brethren that recommended me to start with this in another thread. notice that it's the demo. I can't be held liable for that.
>>747449746>it's your SMT brethren SMTV faggots are not my brethren, they are corrupted zoomniggers that killed the IP. SMTV is the worst SMT (so far), open world slop.
>>747437332>actually installing discordngmi
>>747386487>using rhel >willinglyhorrifying
>>747449746Dont listen to that anon hes being retarded. SMT is both a good starting entry for newcomers and also a good game in general. Its not perfect and is clearly flawed in several ways but it still does a lot of other things very well. I would say its main flaw is its lack of dungeons, which is a real shame because that is staple of SMT games. But it more than makes up for it with everything else that it drastically improves on from its predecessor's.
>>747449914then which game should I start with
>>747396287>using forums in 2026I installed an emulator, my controller didn't work. I asked Grok about it and I copy pasted a line of command to give the emulator controller permission. It took less than a couple of minutes and the emulator is running way better than in windows.
>>747449962>SMTSMTV*
>>747449962IV is the best game the IP has to offer and also the best entry point. Then 1 and 2. Lastly 3 cause i don't really like 3.VV/V is just a disjointed experience, it's a twisted zoomnigger nightmare, possibly the worst thing that could've happen to the IP, another modernized entry for the casual fanbase. The Franchise is dead, VV and persona 5 niggers killed it.Or so the sign says
>>747383423Anybody who isn't retarded knows that. You should've expected nothing else dummy.
>>747450086IV is not the best entry for a number of reasons>locked on the 3ds which means emulation and the emulation for it is pisspoor>beginning of the game and starting dungeon are a huge fucking slog>both law and chaos options are fucking shitV is a much better starting option, as it is literally available on modern platforms.
>>747437481Yeah, but they are unwilling to put up with difficulty THEMSELVES to try and make that happen. Someone else has to do it.
>>747450196>locked on the 3ds which means emulation and the emulation for it is pisspoorNIGGA THE EMULATOR RUNS NATEVELY ONT FUCKING LINUX REEEEREEEREEE STAY IN WINDOWS AND NEVER COMEBEACCK REEEE
>>747450251the emuatlor itself is not the issue retard, its IV and IVa themselves that are the issue. Up until recently you couldnt even emulate them without extreme ghosting and even now that there is a patch for it they still have other issues that are not present on actual hardware (which is how I play them).
>>747450332>>747450196I'm really interested in this debate, I'm serious. I don't know what to start with. I've never emulated a DS game but I can't imagine it works very well.
>>747450219>blaming the userno
>>747450469its a 3ds game and getting it working will be a way bigger pain than playing V because you will have to pirate the roms and get the anti ghosting patch. That being said, if you do enjoy V, IV and IVa are very good and you should play them too. I just dont think they are good starting entries. Honestly 3 might be a better starting entry than IV just because it is also on steam.
>>747450469it works natively in linux, Azahar literally just flatpak install flathub org.azahar_emu.Azaharand go to vimm. It's easy as easy can be, also IV is the most kino entry in the series. V is just an empty open world full of collectible, characters that have 0 personality and a dogshit story>muh ghostingThat anon is retarded, you can tell cause he likes VV, just set the 3D strength to 1% don't ask me why but it just works.
>>747450585Well it's not my first rodeo with emulation, I'm sure I can figure that out and having to put in a little work before I get to play doesn't bother me so it's not really an issue. 3 is on steam but expensive to just take a chance on. Ironically the easiest way to just check it out is playing V's demo cause I don't have to drop any cash in yet.I'm more interested in what is the best experience for a first-time constraints outside of the game aside.
>>747450808NATIVELY NATIVETOLINUXGo back both of you This is so fucking cancer, you can literally set up the emulation and rom in less than a minute in linux. You people deserve Windows.
>>747450871You're having a fucking temper tantrum over the wrong thing anon. No one is argueing that 3ds emulators are not native to linux. That has literally nothing to do with what we are talking about. Of course Azahar has a flatpak and appimage. Are you too fucking autistic to even have a conversation?
>>747450871can you stop sperging out for a second, I've been on linux for 5 years now, I'm never going back. I already have the emulator running and I'm downloading the ROM right now
>>747450997Yes. Cancer like VV, Persona 5 and Methapor killed Atlus. People that recommend those entries are rotten on the inside or straight up evil. You can set up the emulation in less than a minute, if you can't you should go back to windows you are not tailored to LinuxThey killed the small IPs like smtiv, eo and sj. you are a gorilla nigro and you deserve to be called one because you are arguing in bad faith. If you want to act retarded i can too act retarded, i'm simply lowering down to your level. Hey wanna hamao for 50% of the game while we collect red korokos friend? You like that don't you? that's pogchamps
>>747451194https://gbatemp.net/threads/shin-megami-tensei-iv-and-iv-a-ghosting-fix.684175/Here are the ghosting fixes for IV and IVa btw
>>747451209Oh boy hes still having a melty. You need a nap and no one cares about your autistic tantrums.
>>747451309 People said the same thing about Linux and Windows. Not only you are arguing in bad faith you are also evil. You wanted him to play VV because the emulator "is really hard to setup and the game has problems" Both are wrong statements.
>>747451434This is your last pity you, go shadowbox with your schizophrenic delusions somewhere else.
>>747383423I just dual boot. When I wanna play games I just boot a windows 10 partition which doesn't update anymore so it's very stable. For everything else I go to my Ubuntu partition.I don't like wasting time troubleshooting things when I wanna play.
>>747451535Stay in windows.
>>747383423>bro linux is faster than windows, it doesnt have the bloat!>just run a fake version of windows in linux to play games??
>>747451679>fake version of windows runs better than native windows sometimes because by default windows is so fucking bloated and bogged down
>>747451101>>747451171>>747451242>>747451292KDE is so fucking cursed, I don't know how anyone uses it. I had the exact same kind of problems when I tried using it.>>747451679Go look at what "WINE" means. It's an an acronym.
>>747387349>steps on shit>slips>embarrasses himself in front of all the humansits over
>>747416631>Can choose to learn how to do some autistic bullshit that I can do easily somewhere else as opposed to something actually useful
>>747383423Works on my machine
>>747451261ty anon>>747451434look anon this should make you happy. you're going to be upset at my choice of emulation software, aren't you? I already had this setup for a link to the pastnow can the debate continue on which is the better game to actually play first, all emulation talk aside?
>>747451679Wine is a bit faster than windows in some tasks and slower in others, but the star of the show is DXVK/D3DVK.Vulkan fucking mogs DirectX12, even when emulating it, specially in shit like shader compilation.However you CAN use dxvk on windows as well, and it's a great idea if you want to play GTA IV in particular.
>>747452030Is vulkan not available on windows or something? Why wouldn't wintards just switch to it?
>>747452074Because its easier to publish on the Xbox.
>>747383423works on my machine.Sometimes easier than Windows.
The krashes skitzo is back!
>>747452270Looks like he already left
>>747452074you can ask this question about a lot of software related things>why are we still using microsoft controller api despite it being fucking dogshit and there being way better alternativesbecause people are used to it even if it actively harms them. kinda like using windows.
>>747383423Linux just werkz(tm)when nobody is looking
>>747452379The worst best part is that the company that they all envy (rockstar) actually use vulkan.RDR2 at least can use it for a performance gain, and probably will be the case with GTA6 as well.
>>747452437It works better than Windows 10 and 11.Windows 7 mogs it, but you're not allowed to use Windows 7, you must use Windows 10, then Windows 11, then Windows penis, because it is going into your machine regardless of how good or back it is.
>>747452379>microsoft controller apiMy friend plugged in a new xboner controller into his PC the other day and was convinced there was something wrong cause when he pulled up the driver, it was dated 2007 lmao
>>747451983>now can the debate continue on which is the better game to actually play first, all emulation talk aside?The one that you like the most. VV isn't really a shin megoomi tensei, it's just a modern game wearing SMT skin but if that's what (you) like then it can't be helped.
why does the idea of people having choices make a portion of the windows userbase froth at the mouth
>>747384176Out of curiosity, what are you getting in terms of framerates? I only get 28fps in my IV base.
>>747453047because they adopted appledrone culture where they demand to not have to think about the tech
