Nah, windows runs all my games.
This said, I also run Linux exclusively for other things.
I guess everyone hates me for daring to run Windows though. I fucking hate Lemmy sometimes. You guys are such douchebags.
What game does it run that Linux doesn't? There are some but besides league I've been able to play everyone on them.
Why are you assuming insults and responding to a straw man? Weird...
Destiny is another. Actually I hear it runs fine Bungie just bans your account if you try to play on linux, "because fuck you that's why."
Also a bunch of online games with kernel level anticheat (which IMO good I don't want kernel level anticheat on linux at all lmao.)
Linux has been known to run single player games better than windows though, so I guess it just depends on your style. Me? I have OpenMW on linux and a GBC on my shelf, that's all I need.
Honestly, these days linux runs 90%+ of windows games, often better than windows. The 10% that's left have kernel level 'anticheat' that you probably don't want anyway.
I actually run a bit of everything. Mac at work, freebsd for the servers, linux for my personal/gaming pc, windows 10 for the VR/guest pc (though I really should check how VR performance is in linux these days- I haven't checked in like 8+ years, last time I tried there was a microstutter issue that made me nauseous af, and W10 is obv going away), graphene on the phone, another phone with KaiOS to fiddle with, etc etc.
Its okay to still use windows where it works best for you :) it's definitely frustrating sometimes when people get so hung up on what they feel like is the solution that they're assholes to others. Linux has been amazing for the 10 or so years I've been using it but not everyone wants or needs to switch right now and that's okay.
Sorry your experience here has sucked sometimes. Wanting to see linux do well and knowing that it's worked well for your own needs isn't a good justification for being a dick.
Yeah, Lemmy is worse than Reddit sometimes.
My work software literally only runs on Windows. Better quit my job! Or "Dual boot!" for literally no reason. Windows is made out to be so much worse than it is, like it's giving my family cancer.
Windows also gave me another year of updates for clicking a button, so now I can drag my feet on updating for another 12 months.
This dude is right. If you primarily use your computer for gaming, Linux is still not good enough. No amount of "hurr durr the anticheat should be reason enough not to play" is going to change that.
People will play what they want of what their friends are playing, and if to doesn't work on Linux, regardless of whose fault that is, it makes Linux still not good enough for most gamers.
He's also right that lemmy is full of douchebags.
