I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I’ve played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I’m starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.
Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it’s such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it’s a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it’s been rock solid and stable, with no crashes.
Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!
I disagree. 99% of the time I just click the play button and that’s it. Which is honestly more than I can say for Windows.
I think it depends, you’re right, but if anything goes wrong there’s a large cliff.
Happy path is exactly right, click “compatibility” and then run.
If anything goes wrong it’s incredibly hard to figure out why. protondb is pretty good, but a lot of times it’s like mystical “set
SOMEENVVARIABLE=someweirdthing %command%” and you’re like "Uh… okay… sure…when you Google an error message and the search engine tells you to unleash demons, start a church for Satan, and to kill your mom.
After hours of hair pulling frustration you give up, only to eventually come back and realize you pressed the wrong button
