Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline

Yeah but I use my pc to play games. And to read all the Linux coping strategies to run modern games with software bypasses or strategies… I don’t need to jailbreak and run through 150 pages of forums and guides so I can play my steam games.

I have ~200 games in my steam library, all of which run by pressing “play” in steam. I may just accidentally like games that run on linux, but running through 150 pages of forums definitely isn’t the norm nowadays

  Well I was playing starfield when considering dabbling in running Linux and I got shy reading how to run it on Linux, let alone any of my other games.

    If you look at its protondb page, it seems there was an issue with the nvidia drivers that got fixed, so it may work better now. It’s still only silver-rated though, so there are probably issues left. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping a lot of this as I have an AMD gpu, but even with nvidias quality drivers games with such issues tend to be more of an exception.

    I have AMD… Maybe I should dabble in Linux. Lemmy is challenging a lot of my software beliefs. Especially now my opinion on Google. I need to get off it and use Firefox but I’m just so integrated with Google.

Majority of games are launched as easy as pressing play in steam, or even just launching the .exe with regular Wine. Software bypasses are mostly a thing of the past. I’m saying this as a gamer.

  Is Starfield one of them? I installed Ubuntu next to Windows 10, and like it just fine, but I’ve read that getting Starfield to run on Ubuntu is not possible yet? If not for Starfield, I’d be 100% Ubuntu now.

    Starfield may sadly require a little more work - some players report a few missing textures and performance issues. Others, though, are playing fine. You can always check that at ProtonDB, highly recommend.
