Comment on Microsoft revives aggressive Windows 11 upgrade campaign with intrusive popups for Windows 10 users

Hmmm. I mainly play heroes of the storm at the moment and I’ve had issues getting that to work. While the steam games seem to work great I really feel like it needs some more polishing.

The work that has been done on it is stellar though. Especially considering it’s the publishers not supporting Linux systems.

Everything on my steam deck works great though thanks to valve.

But my desktop… Not sure if I’m ready for that yet. :/

If it works on steamdeck it should also be working on normal Linux using the Linux native steam program

  I know. It’s the other platforms I’m worried about :D. Although I’ve kind of stopped playing all blizzard their other games.
  
  Maybe I’ll give it another go at one point.

What issues did you have getting it to work? I have been playing hots on Linux for a few years now…nearly a couple of hours everyday, but I’ve not needed to install it for a long time so I’ve probably forgotten what was needed to set it up. There are some prerequisites and I will leave that here in case you feel like trying it out again in the future. github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Battle.Net.md

  I tried installing it through lutris, first the battle.net client and then hots but it just failed to install.
  
  I’d have to reinstall Linux and see exactly what the issue is. I probably missed one of the prerequisites.
  
  I read something on the Linux gaming Lemmy group where they are planning on combining the fixes so not every platform ( bottles, lutris, steam ) has to maintain their own scripts to fix things.
  
  I’d need to actually put some effort into figuring out why it didn’t work.

  It’s a very common problem among users who attemped to install Nvidia driver using .run file. To fix it, it’s suggested to completely reinstall your system and get drivers from repositories instead.
  
  If you didn’t know about this beforehand I would certainly consider this a case of Linux not being better.

create a bootable USB disk and try it out, you don’t need to fully commit until you feel ready

  Yeah I had it on dual boot for a while, but I rarely started it. I’d need to put some effort into it. Win10 currently isn’t so bad ( for gaming ).
  
  But I am happy to see Linux gaming picking up.

    if your machine is already dual boot I guess you already did most of the hard lifting, you just have to break that windows bad habit now :)

    I had removed the partition and now I’m having a PITA to get PopOs to install at all.
    
    “This GPT partition label contains no BIOS boot partition”.
    
    I’ll need to figure out what’s wrong there.
