Well it’s not wrong.

I switched over my steam and epic games to my Linux install and there’s plenty of games I can’t play because of the anti-cheat or other issues. Can’t install my EA games at all.

Still made the switch and hoping things will catch up as time goes on.

Karyoplasma ,

The only EA game that is worth playing is C&C Generals anyway.

Are there people telling linux folks to stop enjoying linux gaming…? I say ask as a linux person

Maybe I’m vain, but I posted a post a couple days ago celebrating my success with Linux gaming. So many games are like here.

You know it’s not ready for VR yet. yeah I played VR for about a month 4 years ago and that was enough.

You can’t play games with anti cheat personally I don’t play many of those, but obviously if you do that will play into your decision

Anyway, people are always negative about everything, especially against things other people like

mortalic ,

For real though I’d like a VR system (modern) that can use the steam store natively.

I doubt that literally is a significant concern.

When I can’t join others is when I hear confusion as to why I use GNU+Linux, and disappointment when I refuse to use Windows to play a certain game.

onlinepersona ,

I have a buddy who kept asking me to install windows in order to play one of those rootkit games. Had to disappoint him every time. No fucking way am I doing that. Fuck that.

I’m trying to cut back on proprietary software until I’m only using free software but I make a small exception for some games (usually bought by friends, or to play with them).

bitwolf ,

The SteamDeck subreddit is full of Windows shilling.

The Finals subreddit during beta was full of complaints about SteamDeck users asking for them to allow Proton.

There’s def a vocal minority out there that will die on the Windows horse, infected with rootkits and all.

grandkaiser ,

Nah. It’s just projection. Even though I use Linux myself, it’s nearly always the other way around with the lecturer trying to tell Windows users to switch to Linux while the average gamers are just happily gaming away on what works for them.

Hell, you could take many of the comments in this post and turn them into things the guy on the left is saying while Windows gamers are having fun.

lowleveldata ,

It’s more about that small old indie game instead of AAA games tho

theshatterstone54 ,

Oh yeah. For me, it’s a Match-3 game that I stopped playing specifically because it didn’t support Linux. Too bad it’s also the best release from the franchise imo (The Treasures of Montezuma 4).

Its not ready for VR. Thats why my vr headset is collecting dust.

The tech is cool but evidently not worth it to find motivation to go back to win.

Telorand ,

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.

chronicledmonocle ,

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.

If you have a headset that works on Linux, everything works just fine. A lot of headsets are just missing the drivers.

@cetvrti_magi@lemmy.world avatar

Linux is amazing for games thar don’t have anti-cheat and I don’t play those games. Saying that Linux gaming isn’t ready is just stupid at this point. And for emulation it might be better than Windows.

wine’s backwards compatibility is argued to be better than windows

but yeah. valve sells a linux console ffs

drmoose ,

I love my Steamdeck so much. Been like 2 years now? still rocking every game I want to play.

Playing through ZenlessZoneZero rn which isn’t even officially supported in any extent and runs flawlessly! Also it’s a real computer that you can do real work on.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Have you been able to make any tweaks to the settings or something that makes the transition from gaming mode to desktop mode more reliable? I particularly have issues when I go from docked to undocked. The resolution gets borked randomly and other silliness like that

Sabin10 ,

I find that happens if my docked and undocked resolution scales are not the same.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Right but why would I ever have my computer monitor set to the deck’s resolution?

Sabin10 ,

Resolution scale, not resolution. On my monitor I run a 4k resolution with a 125% resolution scale. When I undock the resolution scale stays at 125% so everything looks too large on the decks display.

SteveFromMySpace ,

Interesting I’ll check that out. Thanks!

My Steam Deck has been awesome, money very well spent.

And Valve has made a good chunk of money off me since buying it too lol. I keep getting games specifically for the Deck.

drmoose ,

I bought like 200 games since I had mine though mostly indie and actually played a lot of them! I spend quite a bit of time traveling and it’s awesome to play some strategy with the trackpad - the trip just flies by!

runjun ,

I upgraded my PC and now I barely touch my steam deck. The money spent on it is still VERY worth it. Even if I never touched it again, I use it when traveling, I would still be unbelievably satisfied with my purchase.

bitwolf ,

In a similar boat. However I now have games strictly for the Deck and games strictly for the Desktop.

Amaterasu ,

I’d use a Steamdeck mini if was available. The current size for my needs makes me classify it as a non-portable. Hope the next version they have a smaller variant along with the larger one.

tomkatt ,

Same. I was very impressed by the games that work despite being unsupported. Heck, I’ve got Rainbow Six: Vegas working on it with gamepad support. I couldn’t even do that in Windows.

Z3k3 ,

That’s cool games thar require anti cheat measures or have sports are generally speaking games I’m not interested in as a rule.

themeatbridge ,

“We need kernel access to prevent cheaters from ruining our game” is the dating equivalent to a guy asking for your phone password on the first date.

Z3k3 ,

It’s not even that. I have zero interest in multilayer games even less so “seasonal” games. Basically all the stuff AAA says is dead I like and all the stuff they say I should like I dislike

thisbenzingring ,

The season nomenclature is fucking stupid and I hate it. If a game makes its DLC or quarterly updates and calls them “Seasons” I am revolted.

gpstarman ,

This is what made Clash of Clans alien to me.

naticus ,

I will say that in general I also agree, but there are games where I have been completely okay with it, like DRG. But those updates are always free and really just define (formerly) time period in which a long-term event is contained within. I do love that the latest season is really more of a chapter than a season since you can pick and choose whenever you want to jump into whichever season you want to play and progress through. Only seasonal events have time constraints now.

This is particularly nice since my DRG group has moved to playing Grounded instead, with the occasional DRG night and don’t want to feel tethered to a release schedule.

onlinepersona ,

More like asking for access to your email and keys and phone pin code, or (if people have it) their password wallet, to make sure you aren’t hooking up with other guys on the side.

Just as crazy
