  Can you run Battlefield 6?

  Why the hell do you want Saudi Arabia and Jared Kusher* to have kernel-level access to your machine? Why, why is that worth it for just a game?!

  • I really wish I was joking with this part

  I am not interested in playing any of those games.

    Ok, cool. Some people are. This is a quick list of some popular reasons why people might have not be able to just run Linux.

      I’d probably play BF6 and I do enjoy Apex Legends, but not enough to run Windows. Photoshop is great, but GIMP meets my non-professional needs. I’m not an engineer so AutoCAD isn’t a professional requirement and I can fix 3d prints or plan landscaping in freecad.

      But, I can’t make Micrsoft stop enabling telemetry on my computer, inserting ads in my start menu or giving AI access to my entire system. I know there are tools to disable these things, I used them. I know the workaround to make local users, I know how to remove the AI integrations, I know how to use group policy to prevent the re-enabling of some items.

      I don’t want to have to fight my computer in order to use it. I want it to do exactly what I want and nothing else. Linux lets me do it and that is more important than a few FPSs

      Everyone gets to make that choice. Well, except the people who can’t upgrade to Windows 11… for them it’s Linux or joining a botnet at some time in the near future.

        So Windows 11 is just Windows 10 except everything is Edge.

    Good for you! Why demonize people who are though?

    • FauxLiving@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I don’t know, you should ask the people that are doing that.

  The last time I try to run valorant on non standard windows 11 install, the anticheat refused to run. I’m not playing valorant, just helping friend with tehnical issue.

  The last 2, you can

  You should not install a game requiring kernel level privileges on a personal machine you use for anything other than gaming.

  At this point, I recommend to go the console way (or dedicated gaming machine, which is basically the same at this point as you are not owning neither of them)

  Yes.

  • prettybunnys@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    on windows, or a console.

    • chloroken@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      I can run any software designed for Linux or Windows. Period.

      If a package doesn’t function, it’s because the developers arbitrarily decided to disable it for capitalist reasons. Not because it won’t work.

      • prettybunnys@piefed.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        So. No then. You either are holding onto a zero day workaround for their anti-cheat OR the answer is no.

        It’s neat to try to shift the answer so that you can still say yes but also no.
