Next computer of mine will definitely be running Linux. Only thing I’d ever need windows for is some oddly specific software that won’t work on Linux because I’m too dumb to get working properly.

Nah, fuck it, I’m switching to Linux.

Yep. Gaming is starting to work on Linux, so I will move to Linux once Microsoft cancels 10.
11 has nothing more than more telemetry and tracking going for it. Gaming is slower, so why would I upgrade for a worse experience.
I play old games still anyways. Linux is more secure than Windows 11 anyways. I won’t upgrade to 11, and turned off TPM in BIOS so 11 won’t automatically install.

Can’t wait for anti cheat to work with Linux ☹️
JetAnhyzer@ttrpg.network 10 months ago
This is my biggest hold up. Pretty much any triple A game has anti cheat these days.
Sanyanov@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Most anticheat software actually runs on Linux! Even the previously stubborn EasyAntiCheat got its Linux-compatible version.

Most modern games can work. But this is a dev issue, not a “wait until it works on linux issue”
EAC, and BattleEye both work on Linux, all the dev has to do is tick a “Proton Compatible” checkbox. Which many publishers/devs, namely Epic, don’t do because they hate linux with a red hot passion for some unknown reason.

Are you living under a rock ? Gaming is working in linux now.
GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 10 months ago
I haven’t entirely switched in part due to Rainbow Six Siege not working on Linux. Something about Battleye supports it but Ubi hasn’t done the few simple steps to allow it. So it’s not entirely working yet
spudwart@spudwart.com 10 months ago
Oh yes, another “No, I refuse to check the box” devs/publishers. Literally the company that made BattleEye compatible with Proton won’t enable the damn thing on their most popular game. There just needs to be a big enough outcry. Which as 10 hits EOL and the SteamDeck continues to sell; this will happen.

What I meant was that it is starting to get simple to play games using Linux now.
I’m not a teenager anymore who enjoys getting games to work by editing settings outside of games like during the Win 3.11 and MS-DOS days.
After decades working IT jobs I don’t want to do work when I’m trying to relax. Linus will have a nearly seamless system when Win 10 reaches EOL.
