Rules:
Many games are still not functional on Linux. Here is a link showing which ones aren't just due to their anti-cheat features. That doesn't include games that aren't compatible for other reasons.
It's pretty rare to find a game that doesn't work for a reason that isn't anticheat. I would say the few that are incompatible definitely classify as the exception and not the rule.
I'm not playing any games with anticheat and I'm working so much I only play single player. Linux won for me
game companies are entrenched, tools, libraries, think hardware emulation layers like DirectX. and installed os monopoly. linux exists because of diy types unwilling to pay someone else to do it. if you know how, make lusers pay you to do it for them. they can't understand the details. wasting your breath
What in the fake news is this source ??
I feel like if you made a Venn diagram between Lemmy users and Linux users, it would just be a circle. I say this as also a Linux enjoyer.
I don't see what relevance that comment has to mine. Why did you write this?
I'm a lemmy user, I don't currently use linux. So your point is not correct.
More importantly, I wasn't saying anything about linux users, I'm pointing out the the source that was posted is a blogspam non-reputable source.
Why the hell is Gates on that image?? The guy stepped down as a CEO 26 years ago, and left the board of directors six years ago.
The enshittification is all Nadela's baby.
You somehow made me aware Gates had to use either an UNIX derivative (iPhone) or a Linux derivative (Android) daily.
I'd assume that for the majority of his career he was using something like Series 20 OS (Nokia's proprietary OS) or the BlackBerry OS (before it was rewritten to be based on UNIX-like QNX).
But since then, yeah. There are literally no other options since MS killed Windows Mobile with prejudice.
Did you ever use windows before XP?
Friend, I used computers before DOS.
i switched over to Bazzite about a week ago, and it has been super frustrating. though it’s not in where you think. the game my group is playing (Arc Raiders) worked without a hitch.
my experience and days of trouble shooting the “easy” replacement os for gaming has frightened my friend group far away from linux.
what a flatpac is and why people hate it,
Huh, most people actually like Flatpak, and for good reasons too.
Most people do like flatpaks, I use them because I use Kinonite and Atomic Budgie, but there are those people that don't like them or any other 3rd party universal packaging format. it's kind of a Luddite attitude if you ask me.
Switched when the OG Steam Machines came out. It wasn't great then. It wasn't really good until Proton Steam integration. Became great after the fast iteration with the Steam Deck
I know the hot thing is Bazzite but if you want to use it as a desktop as well, please at least use Fedora Kinoite or Silverblue. Personally I use the latest Kubuntu release so now I'm on Kubuntu 25.10, will upgrade to 26.04 when prompted, do the same with 26.10. Update cycle not so different than the larger windows updates each year. Just that every now and then a new Windows software ports to Linux, it'll almost always be a deb installer is reason enough to me to prefer Debian based distributions than Fedora or Arch especially for new users. Don't need to get people to install distrobox and boxbuddy. Kubuntu should just be enabling flatpaks and flathub by default rather than it being a option in the software center settings

why? other than not being a "main branch" os I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it seems quite white glove.
It's atomic and fedora, which are also the same issues with silverblue and kinoite.
Yeah didn't have problems with it as a desktop.
