Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?

  Have you not tried gaming since proton matured into what it is today? If you’re using wine for gaming then you are doing it wrong.

  Pretty much every Windows game that doesn’t have anti-cheat works on Linux now.

    Proton doesn’t always work, and what’s worse is it’s not consistent.

    What works on one person’s machine, may not work on a different one. But in windows, the game works fine on both.

    I’m looking at you, Distant Worlds and Distant Worlds 2.

    I’ve never gotten DW to work, and DW2 worked for a while, but hasn’t worked for me in over a year.

      Yeah, I’m not sure why we’re being shit on for just wanting software to work properly out of the box

    I’d prefer to wait until someone releases an OS with a hybrid Linux and ReactOS kernel

      I think you’ll be waiting forever for that one. Not even sure why you would want that; I seriously doubt it would even work as a shortcut to reactos becoming a viable and mature OS.

        I prefer an operating system that can run the back catalog of Windows NT software out of the box without having to adjust settings or type terminal commands to do so. I also want Linux and Windows programs running in a shared environment and to interact with each other better

  I can play 90% of my games without efforts. 5% are to old, the other 5% are EA Games, need uplay or whatever shitty launcher, have Anti-Cheat - stuff you usually wouldn’t want to have on your PC anyway

  With steamOS their investment in proton your wish has largely been granted. Native support would be better sure but ill take it

  I wish more game/software had Linux support. I know there’s wine but still

  There, FTFY
