Look, Linux is great and all, and with the ammount of effort VALVE puts into proton, gaming does work very well with it. But unfortunately, particularly when it comes to multiplayer games, Linux/Proton can often not be a viable alternative to Windows. A lot of game developers are working against proton compatibility by using anti cheat software that either doesn't support proton or actively detects and prevents using proton.
...is worth mentioning that gaming on LInux doesn't work very well because middle ware (anticheat and stuff) do expect weird things designed by Microsoft. See this in the case of ACPI:
No it's not worth mentioning. At all.
I don't care. Gamers don't care. Nobody but people defending the honor of Linux care. They just want it to work.
Pro tip: I couldn't give a fuck that Nvidia doesn't work either.
You give off that vibe of "I got mine so fuck everyone else"
Maybe 🤷♂️
But it represents the reality and a huge barrier to entry.
Or just use Windows.
It works 🤷♂️
More than Linux can say.
You have absolutely no idea what you're even saying anymore, do you? Just sitting there vomiting up sentences irregardless of what they mean.
He's been on the Kool-Aid too long to know what he's talking about anymore. Likely one of those who gaslights new and jaded Linux users who've run into problems on the platform and tells them they're wrong or were too lazy in searching for a solution
Dudes literally the Kool aid man lol
👌👍 whatever you say
"Most shit doesn't run on Windows without problems". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't. Most games I play are single player indie titles that run perfectly fine on the steam deck. I'm merely pointing out that people also like to play multiplayer games, and particularly in the competitive games, anti cheat software is often used to thwart cheaters and unfortunately that anti cheat software is often incompatible with linux/proton, either by lack of consideration or on purpose.
At no point did I blame valve or linux for these issues, feel free to point out where I did that. I was clearly blaming the game developers that implement such "features" to the detriment of linux users.
All I was saying that your "solution" to "just install linux" is, unfortunately, not something that universally works for everyone.
Doesn’t sound like he's blaming Linux at all. Only stating that your answer to everything doesn’t work for everyone.
