especially if all those windows dual booting experiences from over 10 years ago which is now misinformation wasn’t kept commented like every time someone brings up dual booting
It should be, but I’ve had too many issues with windows somehow updating and ruining my boot partion/grub.
If I want to run windows, I only run it on a VM with hardware passthrough or on a totally different machine since physically unseating my Linux M.2 from the motherboard is too much hassle and I don’t want to move it to a PCIe card.
So I’m missing out on Destiny, PUBG, CoD, Siege, Battlefield, and Lost Ark… Yeah I’m totally okay with that personally. There are thousands of other games I’d rather be playing and they all work great.
I remember seeing someone in a comments section say why bother use linux for gaming bro got destroyed by the replies lol he also called linux users ekittens 💀
I am slowly chugging through the weird issues I have with trying to use Bazzite as my primary OS, but it will replace my Windows install soon, I can feel it. I still miss HDR, but my newest and most inconvenient issue is that Firefox just keeps crashing as soon as it launches now. No luck fixing it so far, and I installed Edge just to have a working browser.
Maybe if you used VR Chat all the time, but there’s vfio for those cases, if needed. I just learned about it from another user, and so there’s really no need to keep Windows as your primary boot partition or even have a dual boot setup.
My Quest 2 has been running VR fine. ALVR’s latest update made me finally nuke my Windows partition I kept for VR.
Other than Angry Birds VR needing to have the recenter button hit after it’s first launched, so far it’s been fine for HL: Alyx, Beat Saber, Budget Cuts, and a few others I’ve tried. Literally the only workaround quirk I’ve found so far.
Years ago I bought a ps4 controller to play in my Linux pc, but the games didn’t recognize the controller input, I had to use some program to map the keyboard to the controllers but it didn’t work well, so I installed steam and with it ir worked perfectly. Because work and college I had to stop gaming for a couple of years, and I tried again some weeks ago with Lutris, to my surprise that the controller got recognized and worked perfectly without the need for steam.
I used to kinda complain about this but being unable to play lol or lostark has greatly improved my life. I don’t mind being unable to play these games.
I am very grateful for proton and all of the technologies that allow me to play majority of my games. linux gaming in 2015 was painful.
I don’t think anybody ever told someone else not to use Linux when they are already using and enjoying it. This argument is often used as a defense against switching to Linux. And of course, if you just want to play your games without messing with all the bottles and Proton versions, Windows is still the way to go, especially for older games.
As a challenge I tried getting several older games to work on Steam Deck, and while it was fun for me, I like tinkering, I can totally see how it can be a huge hassle for others.
