In that same Linux I had to rack my brain and still failed to launch the game I want.

You mean like that relationship?

Sure Linux has its own pros, but not what I need.

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I used to think the same and sure there are still definitely games that won't work, but gaming on Linux has come a loooong way. And with the recent bullshit that Microsoft is pulling with Windows 10 and especially 11 I just couldn't take it anymore.

I just pulled the trigger last week and took out my Windows 10 drive! Ironically, league of legends broke on Linux again the next day. But I'm sticking with it. Windows is just so slow, bloated, and hard to navigate. And all my games run fine on Linux. LoL will probably be fixed again soon.

I'd say Linux not running League is a feature 🙂 come play StarCraft and micro more than one unit 😁

[–] msage@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Or Dota.

If League is still broken by new years, I'll learn DotA. It'll be my new years resolution haha

Are you using Steam? What game isn't compatible with Linux and/or requires significant user effort to run?

[–] Zeroxxx@lemmy.my.id 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I've spent countless hours playing a game called Romance of the Three Kingdoms XI with PUK, which comes with its own DRM (non-Steam). Despite its availability on Steam, I'm hesitant to buy it again for the same experience, especially since it doesn't run on Linux.

Another game I enjoy, Dead by Daylight on Steam, consistently runs into issues such as severe memory leaks, unresponsive spacebar after alt-tabbing, random freezes, and occasional stutters no matter what troubleshooting I attempt.

Lastly, my wife and I frequently play Fall Guys. While it's mostly audio-related, there are occasional random disconnects that never happen on Windows, which can be frustrating for a game meant for casual enjoyment

Doesn't work with older videos cards.

On Steam 60 000 games of the 70 000 are not compatible with Linux.

[–] ExpertisePredicament@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Honest question, what do you consider not compatible? I switched to Linux earlier this year and 100%'d Armored Core 6 (Verrrrry good game everyone should play it) and I'm currently playing through Cyberpunk 2077 + Baldur's Gate 3 co-op with friends. If AAA games like these work pretty well I'd assume the vast majority of those 60k games work as well.

Or maybe the one that I had to reinstall every other month because it kept failing to boot (probably because I broke something because I had no clue what I was doing and trying to get stuff working).

[–] catonwheels@ttrpg.network -4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Or maybe the one that I had to learn how rollback graphics drivers because I bought wrong brand of graphics card.
