This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.

Friends are capitalistic propaganda to make you easier to manipulate and control into working long hours so that some guy called "CEO" can show off all of his green pieces of paper to his friends /s
Friends are overrated, comrade!
During last gamenight with the friends we decided to play halo infinite. We all had a good laugh that the two on windows were the only ones crashing
It’s hilarious to me that I have to jump through so many hoops to get my old games working on windows when they run almost out of the box on Linux, but on the flip side with all the launchers and shit built into AAA games today it’s a hassle to get them set up on Linux. Like once I do get them set up they work great. But lutris, proton versions, winetricks, etc to get them working is an activity
Found the Nvidia user.
This is the thing which keeps me from switching entirely to Linux. A friend of mine needs twice the amount of Time to start his Games (which is something I would have no Problem with) and what makes it not worth switching imo is that he loses the sound from Discord when he plays. He needs to restart DC then. And no one knows why ._.
Is he using PipeWire or PulseAudio? I solved my audio problems by installing PipeWire.
It's always best to try it well ahead of time even if it's just for having that shader cache setup and ready to go.
Also trying to get trainers to run is a bit of a nightmare. I use steamtinkerlauncher for that and it's hit or miss I'd say.
There's no shame in dual booting. Moving all your non-gaming stuff away from windows is a big step in the right direction.
uses Linux
wants to run proprietary Windows Games on it
I don't need to adhere to the FOSS philosophy in the extreme to be allowed to use Linux
Thats not the point. You buy Games by Developers with limited resources. They dont care about FOSS you could say, in many cases. So you are unsupported.
Linux runs Linux Apps, its Essence is that it is a free OS, that you can trust.
Running proprietary stuff made for other Platforms is interesting but a Battle. It makes no sense you could say.
It makes Sense for Valve, as they save themselves Billions in Windows Licenses and they can make a tailored device. And they sell Games.
For you, paying for Games and then working to make them run, I dont know.
Not that I dont like the idea, but its the job of Developers to make the Games run.
Sure... Which is why Valve has built Proton, which makes nearly all PC games run on Linux... Sure, the developers of the games themselves should have made the Linux port, but for many developers it's cost prohibitive to support another platform with very few potential customers.
But the more players who run Linux (and Steam Deck by extension), the larger the incentive for developers to support Linux natively. And in turn more games will get made for Linux, which will draw in more people to switch to Linux.
So as long as my game runs, then I don't care whether it was the original developer, Valve or an open-source developer why wrote the code that made it work. And luckily I'm one of those people that don't mind having to tinker a bit to make things work (hence why I'm on Linux in the first place)
If we as gamers stubbornly refuse to switch to Linux until our games are natively ported, then developers might as well just develop their games for Windows, where the players are...
The thing is that Proton runs multiple Apps. So no, its development, when shared, would not be too much work for Developers.
I agree that Linux users need to be different because we pay with time, the will to tinker, report bugs etc.
Haven't run into a game yet that doesn't run on Linux when using Proton. 👌
Most of the games not running today would run perfectly if they did not have some bullshit anti-cheat implemented (Easy Anti-Cheat is I think the worst offender here).
Source: personal experience checking ProtonDB for games I want to play
Huh? Easy Anti-Cheat is the one that actually works for me on Linux.
see my reply to another comment here. I mentioned EAC simply because most games use it and don't enable the required flag for Linux support.
Ah, TIL! Thanks :]
It's crazy how much better things are now. I had the same reaction some weeks ago when I wanted to play Leathal Company with friends and remembered I'm on Linux while they all used some 3rd party Windows only mod manager. One day later I found r2modman in the AUR which automatically recognized Steam + Proton and everything just ran. And there is even a Titanfall 2 cross platform mod program!!!! The sofware support just keeps getting better every day.
