I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the steam machine vaporware days.
Additionally the ease of use of using Linux vs windows for gaming has gotten me to start using my pc for local coop a lot more. I’ve had so much more success using multiple controllers with Linux than windows.
My biggest worry, like anyone’s, was that I would feel limited by the games I can play. I’ve honestly started to try even more games since I’ve had better experiences with switch emulators on Linux (Yuzu my baby). Sometimes a newer game won’t let me use the latest version of DLSS my GPU supports but that doesn’t make a game unplayable, I just don’t get max graphics/ performance.
The only game I can’t play is rocket league. But I can only blame Epic for actively breaking the game on Linux.
I tried a couple of times already, but always feel it’s not quite ready yet… Games not starting or running slower, etc. Running latest Ubuntu, Wayland and new PC with an RTX4060ti. What am I doing wrong?
Linux gaming all the way! “Just tried a VR game on someone else’s machine.”
I finally plan to wipe my Windows PC and install SteamOS on it after the forced push to Windows 12. The requirement to have a connected account just to login is a complete dealbreaker for a machine that I only play games on. I don’t need OneDrive. I don’t need to be connected to Microsoft’s portals. I’ll never need to recover anything on here via the web.
RIP to the local admin account. You were awesome. Thanks for making the switch easy, Microsoft.
I switched 2 weeks ago, 12% of my years playtime is on Linux now. Should I be concerned about how active I am?
I’ve been so eager to try it out, but also a bit hesitant to make the jump. I should check out the compatibility of the main games I play. Mostly worried that EA or something might screw me over on certain games. And I really CBA to run a dual boot setup.
For some reason I still feel like a windows update is capable of fucking it up by messing with bios settings or something along the lines.
