  • To eliminate this cheat vector, we have made the decision to prevent access to the game for Linux users. This means that Apex Legends will be unplayable immediately for those running this operating system. Playing on handhelds, such as the Steam Deck, is still possible if the user opts to install Windows.

    translates to them cutting off linux support so people will be forced to use approved operating systems like Windows which will require more hardware which means more money for those companies and more intrusive anti cheat software that gives users data away

    way more than just about Windows and some games

    this is about locking users into approved environments with no wiggle room just like on Tron

    nonSteam games, pirated games, maybe your setup or you yourself needs different settings for whatever reason, console emulation, and more

    from the above link:

    It is based on Valve’s version of WINE (Proton) and its modifications (Proton GE). It includes a set of scripts combined with wine-proton itself, a Steam Runtime Sniper container with the addition of ported versions of MANGOHUD (displaying useful information in the game window: FPS, FrameTime, CPU, GPU, etc.) and vkBasalt (improving graphics in games, very good in conjunction with FSR, DLSS) + many already configured optimizations for maximum performance.

    One-click automatic installation (on the AUTO-install tab) of popular launchers such as: WGC, Epic Games, BattleNET, Origin, EVE Online, RockStar, Ubisoft connect, League of Legends and many others has been implemented.

    For console game lovers, there are many console emulators available (under the EMULATORS tab): PPSSPP, Citra, Cemu, ePSXe, MAME and many more…

    because English users and all other language users use it as well to play games

    Cyberpunk 2077 is what am currently playing using this launcher because it is the only one that works and allows all the settings we prefer such as raytracing on top of good consistent fps

    if you notice my other post on here was AdaptiveCPP which is also what use with portproton to get good fps

    talking Cyberpunk with raytracing and medium settings on 1080p with an Intel arc A750 8GB 70+/- fps

    Linux Gaming works but only with a big toolbox packed with good tools

    most modern browsers should have a translate button readily available

    my bad did not notice the link failed to attach fixed it

    to put this simply you are able to use the libraries from all the GPU vendors and it works really well

    the intel arc cards for example have garbage software but use Nvidia DLSS and Cuda on that bitch and watch it fly with raytracing included

    getting a post together and will post it here on Linux Gaming in the next week or so that will in detail get you up and running with a gaming computer that utilizes AdaptiveCPP

    could you expand on this at all?

    Arch Linux with a Gnome desktop with low core hardware even dual core a year ago on Wayland would not be a to play a video on VLC for a week straight no power offs or restarts without crashing and or some error

    Fast forward to today and that same setup even without updating regularly will get you the same experience as Windows in regard to stability and being able to stay running without crashes or errors

    Shout out to the Steam team for their contributions to Linux and yes use Arch btw and feel am able to make more changes to the system than before
