What about Source Engine games?
Source 2 S&Box…
Linux runs Resident Evil 9. It just doesn’t run these because they aren’t real games.
R6S doesnt work in windows either (if virtualized).
Since when did GTAO stopped working on linux tho? Did it introduce an anticheat as well?
Huh. GTA online used to work fine? Did they update that?
A few months ago they added BattleEye anti-cheat but didn’t enable Proton compat
I can overlook all of this.
Hell yeah. Solid Dub.
I still can’t believe league of legends won out. I thought Heroes of Newerth was more fun back in the day.
I just wish that Vortex or some other mod manager worked on Linux. The amount of black magic I have to do to get mods running is kinda absurd.
Wait, Vortex doesn’t work on Linux? Seriously!? God fucking damnit, I’m going to be stuck with Windows forever.
I can’t go back to the old days of manually installing and updating mods by hand. Those were some rough times, and I never want to relive them again.
I swear I saw they were going to start working on one
They did then abandoned it for some fucken reason because Nexus will just do that. Hell at this point I’d settle for a Linux fork of the old NMM with collection support since most of the issues with modding Linux is just lack of mod managers.
They abandoned the standalone linux mod manager with the intention of making Vortex itself run on Linux, specifically targeting SteamOS.
Warframe - Linux: ✅️
Conclusion, Linux wins.
Dual boot Bazzite with Windows Ent IoT? Profit?
Runs SF6 very good still haven’t tried GGS but I’m set. I would like to try 2xko but can dich it for Marvel Toukon when is out.
Unpopular opinion: these memes always have ‘I am very smart’ energy on Lemmy. The issue is that these companies should support Linux not that your personal taste in video games means it’s a good thing that they don’t.
I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort. So I haven’t switched. My best friend has switched and made the changes necessary and is forever troubleshooting issues.
My particular taste in video games is that they are not predating on my kernel bitch whatafuck is wrong with you they should not be allowed to do that
Pre dating? Can’t go somewhere and have fun? Is that a crime now?
Back in my day™ you could go somewhere, have fun and possibly hook up with someone from that thing years later. The lesbians are still doing it. But noooooo you zoomers ruined everything!
Leave your kernel alone!
I am a 40yo lesbian and English is not my first language
It’s a pun.
Uhh… no… no it’s not.
I agree with you that these memes are a little silly, but I also agree with the overall point that it’s actually good that these games don’t run on Linux. It has nothing to do with my personal taste in these games though, and everything to do with privacy violations via kernel-level anticheats, and getting people addicted via dark patterns like microtransactions, gacha, and FOMO-inducing battlepasses.
I built a computer for my uncle and his kids and installed Linux on it. My cousin wanted to play Fortnite, and I tried to pitch it to him as a feature instead of a bug. But a couple weekends ago, I caved and installed dang Windows 11 for him.
You caved to the megacorps immense pressure on kids to recruit and devulge their friends and peers desires so that the hypercapitalist pedo lords can Harvest them D: with knowledge that this goes on? Based.
I realized that I’m not going to win him over by being a jerk about it. Sometimes, all you can do is give people the space to come to the right conclusion themselves.
I realize it’s too late now, but as I’ve posted before on Lemmy: you can “run” Fortnite on Linux well enough by using a game streaming service like Luna or GeForce Now. It’s the only game I run that way on my PC and only because my kids enjoy teaming up with me in BRs.
I mention it because it seems like most people aren’t aware it’s an option (even on Windows, if you want to avoid rootkits on your system). Not for everyone, but you can technically stick to your principles/security and still play (some of) those kinds of games.
Proceed with sanctimonious bellyaching below:
Oh neat, I hadn’t even thought of that! I think it’ll be a hard sell to switch him back, but I’ll keep this option in mind. I’m just hoping he grows out of it haha.
My brother has been interested in switching to Linux but he’s into those kind of games too. I’ll recommend him to try it out!
The neat thing is he can try it before switching from windows to see if it’s something he’s cool with. When I first started using Luna there were random input lag spikes but I haven’t had that problem in months. The only real downside is sometimes it seems like my voice/chat settings get reset (I like to turn off voice and text chat because toxicity).
It’s a meme, I don’t think folks are meant to view this as something other than ironic.
It’s a meme. Old one, too.
Gatekeeping “uhmm actually I only play artisanal games delivered exclusively to a single person” is bad and must be spoken out against. And Lemmy sucks on that front.
I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort.
Anything that isn’t a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.
So, the software that runs the features on my mouse and headset run on a VM. Then I play the games in the base OS with those features like software driven surround sound?
This is actually similar to the situation I came across with my friend. “Everything works 100% it’s crazy!” Sweet! How’d you get the customisable mouse buttons working? (He has the same mouse as me) “There are extra mouse buttons? Oh, there are! I never noticed. No, they don’t work anymore”. 😑
So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.
Next time you buy hardware look it up. Once you’re on stuff that’ll work in Linux you should be able to jump over easily then.
So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.
It’s a gaming mouse (I’m guessing you’re unfamiliar) with customisable buttons. The buttons work best with the software and the software doesn’t work natively on Linux, as previously mentioned.
I wish Linux was seamlessly transitionable but you seem to be saying that I should change to suit Linux. The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.
The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.
Eh, not really dude. Linux cannot possibly account for each and every unique hardware combination that is put to market – some of which are being invented as I type this sentence.
Some hardware is written with firmware that falls outside of standards and specs and some hardware producers are actively hostile to people providing support for their hardware on alternative platforms. Computer hardware and peripherals are a huge market with lots of players. I’m saying if Linux support is important to you, then make it part of your evaluation criteria when you buy new hardware. Or don’t if it isn’t.
Linux doesn’t have significant enough consumer market share to pressure hardware manufacturers into providing support for them, and it also is a free operating system – not one helmed by a massive multi-national corporation that can use billions of dollars to pressure hardware manufacturers into following their whims.
No, no, no - this is all wrong. I don’t consider you a person unless you self-flagellate at the terminal daily, compiling from source in dependency hell while being cleansed by the vim fires at the altar of Tux.
This species of Linux user reminds me quite a lot of Catholics.
I read that as “self-felate” and was impressed and horrified that people were that flexible while using the terminal.
You’re shadowboxing with a nonexistent Linux user. People do that kind of stuff as a hobby, not for status. Most people who are into that sort of thing are too asocial to use any social capital they might have anyway.
These people exist, I run into them here and elsewhere. one of them just replied to my comment.
Lol, is that what you tell yourself every day to justify staying with Windows? Do you convince yourself by imagining Linux users suffering?
I do not use Windows
And I don’t use the terminal every day and install apps from the application manager.
If you have chosen a distro that forces you to use the terminal or install apps from source code, that’s your choice, not a condition for all Linux users.
I can’t get any Unity games to run in Steam.
Epic win.
This is honestly a skill issue though
linux got just a little worse pretty recently: roblox is now playable on it
sober is the project name that ports it to Linux
I miss peak Destiny 2 tho. It was the only reason I dual booted for many years.
Same, I got in just and the end of the good stuff so didn’t have that long to really enjoy it. I did love my time playing but there was so much that made it clear it was only gonna get worse. Seeing Bungie fall like that really sucked, they had been my favorite game dev all the way since halo 1, and look at them now…
