that's why I stopped playing pc in general, homies will claim
>game runs flawless on my pc with a 4090
>only had like 4 crashes during my playthrough and some stuttering in towns and when important things were going on, the usual fare
kek
still beats 1080p 30 fps which is what consoles are going back to targeting now
swear to god they're going to push for "8k" (output resolution) as a marketing gimmick before they actually manage to hit 1080p internal
even though we're still on more powerful hardware than ever hitting that 1080/60 still seems fricking impossible for most developers. was chasing that last 10% of photorealism really worth it when it runs like ass and looks like blurry shit?
1080@60 is piss easy for any upper end GPU and even for PS/Xbox, the issue is 1440p and 4k which are meme resolutions that everyone loves because casualgays refuse to play on a normal screen and instead want a big normalBlack person TV. That's why in the year of 2024 console apes still get 30fps and not even a consistant 1440p kek
well if we want to be accurate it's usually some dynamic resolution or dlss upscaling bullshit these days
Linux is for adults and adults don't waste their time playing children's games
I think that there are five or six games out of my 300+ steam library that don't work on the Steam Deck. It depends on how much people want to play it, Baldurs Gate 3 and Cyberpunk run fine even though they're ~30FPS with low graphics presets but Grandia II and Final Fantasy IV won't run for me.
I will say that in general you'd be surprised at how flawless it is. It mostly just werks. The worst thing about the Steam Deck is probably the screen, it's shit for tiny text and it's kind of washed out compared to anything AMOLED.
I also put in about half my steam deck playtime on the couch with a ps4 controller.
I have used Linux for 2 years, only last month did I finally become free
those were the worst years in my technological life, what a fricking mess of a distro, it is literally the distro for normalgays who go to college instead of just getting a job like a true chill guy, you have to look EVERYTHING up, you want to run Yume 2kki? oh wine doesnt do it, ok, so you wanna install easyrpg? oops, doesnt work, install this locale that you have to run through the terminal instead of just right clicking, oh,, it works now? well, it wont work the next time you try fixing another game with wine
Steam's proton works with most games, yes, but do I REALLY need to fricking open steam just to play some dumb doujinsoft game? yes you do, because linux
wanna screenshare anime, movies or games to your friends on discord? oops, discord screenshare doesnt have audio on linux, oh, there's a fix? good! well, its a fix made by some random guys and it stops working out of nowhere sometimes ruining your plans till they make a fix
I don't want to use linux ever again, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, I used Mint btw
some games flat out dont work even with proton btw, Daibanchou: Big Bang Age has the text cut off, and its such a niche game if you try to look up fixes you simply wont find it
tl;dr, if you're an actual gamer, never use linux ever, if you have friends, never use linux ever, if you're not a fricking nerd, don't use linux, you're going to waste your time and be mad weekly
>inb4 le tranycord?
I understand you're old and dying, but young and blossoming people have friends and they don't make their friends use gay ass niche alternatives just to talk to themselves
Proton ain't even tied to Steam dude....
easiest way to use it by far, can you do it a harder way?of course, because linux is for NERDS
Wine and Lutris are literally clicknplay dude....
Wasn't click and play when I tried using it to run rose guns days that's for sure
>b-but my normalgay games
ok i dont care
>because linux is for NERDS
no, it's for mentally ill MORONS.
Nerds want shit to work.
Linux is a piece of shit and nothing works.
and thus nerds prefer Windows 7.
>mint
>I understand you're old and dying, but young and blossoming people have friends and they don't make their friends use gay ass niche alternatives just to talk to themselves
Seethe tech illiterate zoomie.
Rose Guns Days has a literal install script made for Linux. Not sure what problems he ran into - That or he tried Linux over 6 years ago but if he is as zoomer as he sounds he must have been a toddler at that point.
The problem being the install was old and obsolete, didnt work at all and it was a different version from the superior version found on the /jp/ general that includes all seasons
anyways, I got it working with steam proton's later, using the /jp/ version, Lutris is ass and wine doesnt work properly most of the time
>install is old and obsolete
>somehow it's Linux's fault and not the user's
I wouldn't blame windows xp for not being able to run the latest titles.
>tfw been using arch for two years and my experience has been the complete opposite
>everything just werks and I never had a single breakage outside of a missing library once, despite how much people like to meme about arch being unstable
Arch chads we cannot stop winning
Biggest mistake people made is going for some popular meme distro that youtubers tell them about.
>dude Mint because it looks like Windows nevermind that the dev is an unstable schizo who can't take any form of criticism
>dude PopOS it's basically the new Ubuntu just ignore the fact that it takes ages to get packages which is kinda important for gaming
Your average Youtuber doesn't know what you want - so they just recommend the most basic b***h Linux distros and say they are easy to use. But that ease of use actually makes it harder to work with them for people who wanna play videogames.
Arch? Hasn't been the neckbeard distro for ages - It's as braindead easy to install and setup as any other big distro.
And even if you hate Arch for some reason. There are still other rolling release distros like openSUSE TW - one that is actually maintained and tested by a professional company rather than the community or a single individual.
But that one never gets recommended for some reason.
I picked Mint because Ganker told me to use it, are you a Black person? I don't watch tech youtubers
Mint works fine, I've been using it for 4 years (on and off) now and each year that passes I have less problems with it as I learn how to maintain it and what to expect from it. It's not perfect but for some fricking reason everyone thinks that a distro needs to actually be "perfect", as if any other OS on the planet lacks problems of their own.
What I've learned is that people just learned to ignore Windows and Mac problems for example, because they've grown used to them being the only players on the block so it's either them or nothing. Now that Linux distros have reached a point where they are good enough for 90% of people they can afford to be picky but that creates the problem of people never spending the time to LEARN how to use their OS and instead they just jump around blindly until they give up.
It's like a fricking microcosm of the same mentality that is fricking up western society today but it's about software instead of life
Suse is decent, but generally frick loonix for desktop usage. I have same windows install for years, it just works. Also im a c# software engineer by day and hobbyist unreal tinkerer by night, both of those are more suited for windows setup.
>Also been using Arch for two years
>Every Linux complaint thread leaves me confused
I'm even team green. How are you people so bad at computers.
Notice how hardly anyone reporting Linux issues is using Arch?
It's all people using meme distros like Mint.
Because arch is pretty much objectively the best distro for desktop use. But everyone hypes it up as this scary boogeyman and then newbies don't want to touch it, they'd rather use something like manjaro which is just arch but 10x as unstable.
I hate Archgays more than trannies
oh look thats me in the bottom screaming about playin video games on linux
This image is pretty outdate, with archinstall being a thing and really easy to use now, Arch is barely a notch "harder" than any other distro. Arch has been my main OS for years and I consider myself quite tech illiterate and I've had no issues.
>I consider myself quite tech illiterate and I've had no issues.
That's not what I heard in the grape vine
Yeah it's from like, 16 years ago, but from what I've seen, Arch users are still insufferable. I remember when everyone and their mother praises rc.conf for being so easy, and then when the devs neutered it for some bullshit reason, every motherfricker out there immediately went "Yeah, rc.conf always sucked". I checked into Arch a few weeks ago and see that the devs are still too lazy too create even an ncurses installer for the system again.

Leave Linux to moronic geriatrics

I can't even play most games on linux. Just get a separate machine for gaming and use Linux on your work computer

truth. i'm on my 3rd year (Mint as well) and I'm going back to Windows after I backup my home folder.
Linux for the most part worked fine but there are too many minor issues that just added up and made using it a fricking pain in the ass especially when i wasn't in the mood to tinker. I'll keep Linux on a backup PC but otherwise I'll stick to Windows, I already have all the de-bloat shit I need anyway because I still had to have a Windows VM for work and old games that Linux couldn't run.
>I used Mint btw
literally every single time.
Why do people get tricked into using the worst distro
Mint is the only distro that works you moron
apparently not because of how many horror stories i've read and seemingly 90% of them involve Mint.
Want a beginner friendly distro?
Ubuntu or regular debian
Want something more "batteries included"
https://get.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/
Want to be at the practical end-game?
Arch
It's really not difficult.I wish people would stop using M*nt and FUD'ing linux
Wouldn't that be because the type of people to install mint in the first place don't know what they are doing?
Yes, but also a lot of so called "linux experts" keep recommending it and perpetuating the disgusting joke that it's good and "beginner" friendly.
Because they can't discern that their tinkering isn't normal because they're so used to it.
It's funny because in my experience, all real "linux experts" just own a mac, and SSH into whatever linux server they need.
Basically people posting about linux are probably the worst people to ask anything about.
Because it's a beginner distro in a way that its very similar to Windows. There is no big Linux knowhow required to have it "work" but if you try anything that isn't watching a video or browsing the internet you are out of luck.
>Steamdeck runs on SteamOS which is just Arch
>people are surprised that Arch or other similar rolling release distros perform the best when it comes to Linux gaming
>act surprised when the shit distro their favorite youtube or Linus Shill Tips told them about isn't getting updates
Muh Linux is bad and unstable because i picked a distro that isn't even focused on gaming. Those people buy 30 year old Ford and go "Damn cars are shit why are people still using cars???? Just take a train????"
So THAT'S why they call it Redditspacing.
That's not a thing you newbie Black person have a nice day
raw cookie dough really is delicious
Yes I'm sure that poster is a true oldgay, following the ancient doctrine.
have a nice day
No matter how many times you post examples, you engage in the same fallacy, you mouth-breathing election tourist. This fricking poster is not following some cultural tradition from 15 years ago. They are bringing cancerous habits formed from other sites due to a lack of understanding of this one, ignoring established posting etiquette and culture along the way.
Maybe you should start tripgayging you moronic Black person, people used to do that all the time too.
have a nice day israelite
You first. Film it. :^)
Black person you have not posted a single time on /jp/ before 2020 so you're subhuman in my eyes
>established posting etiquette and culture
lol calling everything "reddit spacing" is a recent thing, newbie.
ok
The only people that actually care about this kind of shit are literal reddit tourists that are afraid of being "found out".
moot was the eternal newbie
>zoomers are so fricking dumb that somebody managed to trick into thinking that doublespacing didn't exist before reddit was created
LOL
Please have a nice day and learn how to properly write shit on the internet, have a nice day immediately
And even way back then only terminally moronic spergs typed that way, it just so happens that nowadays there is this forum that is notorious for being filled with such dregs of humanity and people associate the two together. Double spacing imbeciles and cretins defending it as muh oldhomosexualry should be banned on sight because of the high correlation between it and posts that are so terrible they should be treated like informational hazards.
You sound stable
People who use linux for their personal PC are mentally ill. I'd hope they at least spend all their time ricing their desktops, because outside of that, there is literally no advantage. Especially with WSL, I don't even understand what conceivable reason someone with tech literacy would even bother anymore.
>2 years
You're a moron for using something that you admit doesn't work to your use case (playing RPGmaker/jap games) for two years. A week or two, or even a month, sure. But two years for a personal computer, a GAMING personal computer? Why the frick did you do that besides chasing trends?
Just use critical thinking. It's not that hard. Read a post for their arguments for a point, their biases, why they reached that point and connect it to what you want out of a game. E.g. if I see someone sucking off COD for the gunplay and multiplayer, I know it's not for me cause they're golem zoomers. If I see someone talk about level design in depth for a game, the game's probably good because level design is a forgotten aspect in game discussion.
It wasn't a gaming personal computer, it was a shitty laptop, that's why I used it, dumbass
Ah OK now I see your point better.
>dumbass
These details are important because I can't tell if you were just a trend chasing moron who fell for a meme you admit to hating for two years or a casual who wanted to try something new.
Anyways just use linux machine as an emulation box, it's tedious to get new games working and at this point, it's just way easier to load up a romset than it is to get proton or whatever it is working
Here's what happened, start of 2020, I think? I switched to linux because I thought it was cool and that it would run faster than windows, windows was still running a little decently, but I wanted to switch things up a bit and try something new <- clueless and fell for the shilling on Ganker
used it for like a year, didnt like it, switched back to windows
used windows till it was practically being held up by sticks and glue, said ok thats enough, I'll go back to mint (start of 2023)
mint ran faster, but still made me want to kill myself
then i finally got a good computer this year and windows runs well enough and I dont wanna use linux ever again
>some games flat out dont work even with proton btw, Daibanchou: Big Bang Age has the text cut off, and its such a niche game if you try to look up fixes you simply wont find it
This is the dealbreaker. Basically the moment you add mods, japanese, or fricking anything not from the front page of steam, it just breaks down and you're on your own. Like, you can play your suicide squads fine but who the frick cares.
Ha, turns out Troonix is a pile of shit. Would would have thunk? Well, you know better now to avoid such mistakes in the future.
can anyone explain to me what's the payoff for all of this pointless hassle?
it can't be hipster cred alone can it?
and its not like you are not being "le spied" because both intel and amd have spyware on the hardware bios ground level so it doesn't matter what you use or even if your pc is running or not.

unironically low iq bait. schizoids think they are getting spied by glowBlack folk, but think glowBlack folk are not capable of infecting proprietary steam games or to put bugs in hardware like intel or amd or nvidia or motherboard. the average linux user is a neet drop out with 85 iq
schizoid describes a different personality disorder, it's not interchangeable with schizo(phrenic)
>itt An hero.

>still zero retorts beside name calling
damn linux users are truly bottom of the barrel aren't they?
this i at least can understand, you use it to develop a goal you have.
my question is for people who simply use it as their default os or god forbid for gaming.
see
the games i like to play work, they work better than they would on windows for the hardware that i have, and i was tired of microsoft's bullshit even before 10 came out, so seeing them continue to make things even worse and shit all over their users more and more only made my choice easier
It's just hipster/college cred. Plus, it allows them to engage in some soft conspiracy theorizing by saying they are spied on, since this same kind of people are also white knights for israelites, NATO and vaccines on twitter, and they really have to force themselves to act as if conspiracy theories don't exist.

what a gay woke commie moron
Linuxgays got a high from that one time they scared normalgays opening the commandline on school computers.
There's a reason why kali linux is one of the most popular linux distros. The average linux user is a tech illiterate underage indian that watches mr robot every day and unironically has an anonymous picture and thinks Ganker is a deep web hacker
Nah, those are the people who complain about linux.
I actually do programming, and know actually how to use a computer, unlike you and your Fisher Price OS.
if you did, Linux wouldn't be the broken piece of trash it is.
To be fair to linux trans women, they do manage an impressive job when you consider it's a failed commie project without any funding, no telemetry, and no way of attracting talented devs, no structured hierarchy, a bunch of fragmentation, no direction, etc. You have to keep in mind that they are competing against likes of Microsoft which is the largest company in the world, with a market cap of $2.95 trillion, and that has approximately 221.000 employees all working under one direction and goal/standards. It's just not fair
>no way of attracting talented devs
That's where you're wrong.
>without any funding
BS
fricking IBM is funding Linux lmao
>no telemetry
lmao
pro-tip: Firefox has tracking on allplatforms
Not yet, but soon™. I applied at Valve last year, they said to come back once I have more experience.
I really doubt you even understand Linux at any non-superficial level.
Windows is easy for regular users but harder if you want to customize it or use it in industry. Linux is slightly harder for regular users and slightly easier for customization and industry. Knowing Windows in-depth requires more from you than knowing Linux. You can play with strings and cutely named commands in bash but you will get completely filtered by Powershell.
I alreay use powershell for some things, I write documentation for cross platform software.
> It's difficult so it's better
Peak vidya gays
I'm saying Windows is easier for regular desktop usage, and Linux is easier for industry. Which perfectly reflects how most people use them. Only autists want to use a server OS for desktop because it's easier to customize. Being an autist is okay, but being a homosexual thinking you are necessarily smarter for being a tinkertroony is not.
>Valve is moronic
ok Timmy
>corporation can't make poor decisions
Not to say Valve is making one, they are simply putting their eggs in more than one basket. But I thought the appeal of Linux was that you weren't totally dependent on one corporation? You needed Valve to fix Linux gaming. Now Valve has loyal Steam paypiggies because piracy is harder on Linux since cracks sometimes exploit obscure Windows functionality.
All of the changes valve made to proton are public and have been implement into the wine project. I don't even know what you're arguining. Megacorps contribute to linux constantly.
I'm not sure what you were arguing by bringing up Valve in the first place. It's like you were avoiding addressing my original point.
>You needed Valve to fix Linux gaming.
What
said, and even the Steam runtime stuff is being made available outside of Steam with the new ULWGL shit under development.
>piracy is harder on Linux since cracks sometimes exploit obscure Windows functionality.
Entirely separate issue that has nothing to do with Valve.
Surely you wouldn't just muddy the waters on purpose.
>nothing to do with Valve
Valve had nothing to do with
but he/you brought them up out of nowhere.
Doesn't excuse you pretending Valve has anything to do with the difficulty of making pirates' shitty cracks work.
See
You are moronic. Valve has immense interest in making piracy difficult.
Guys, Anon figured it out! Valve pays pirates to use cracks that break Wine compatibility. Amazing strategy, truly genius. Why haven't we heard of this?
>arguing passive-aggressively like a redditor
Average linuxgay.
>getting BTFO and having no response other than crying
Average windowsbaby.
And actually how the frick doesn't piracy have nothing to do with Valve and Steam?
They're not related whatsoever.
>but muh paypiggies because piracy hard
Steam isn't the only place to get games that aren't cracked/repacked.
Linux isn't a server OS, it's a modular core with whatever software added on top. It runs on anything and that's the point of both it and unix originally.
Linux got me my current job. I work at a major enterprise hardware integrator. Our servers run Linux, thus all our programs are made for linux. My hobbyist knowledge of the kernel got me a high paying job and finally got me out of web dev hell. Now I do systems programming and its really comfy.
It's nice in some aspects. I used Linux for a long time when I was primarily a console gamer and it was just fine most of the time (although back then, the Linux versions of some popular stuff like Skype were very behind the Windows and Mac versions and they sucked). Not idea if you want to play games though.

You do need tinkering with the japanese fonts to avoid cut text, I admit that.

That's an onscripter game, you don't need wine/proton to play it, just put the native runner in the folder.

Yeah, for some reason (dated libraries maybe?) Mint tend to have more problems compared to other distros.

Absolutely, just install EmuDeck and you're good to go.
>Daibanchou: Big Bang Age has the text cut off
I didn't read that anon's post since he sounds like a massive homosexual, so missed that. There's 2 FOSS engines for old and not-so-old Alicesoft games specifically, work pretty well altho I had to edit source code to compile xsystem35 on Linux since the author probably only uses MSVC, and GCC complained about missing header and some other bullshit
https://github.com/kichikuou/xsystem35-sdl2
https://github.com/nunuhara/xsystem4
>I have to edit and compile source code to play games on Linux
No one will ever take this shit seriously

>I had to edit source code to compile xsystem35 (the engine needed to run the game) on Linux
Tell me where is the reading comprehension issue
You can play the game in wine, no need to compile anything.
>using emulation
>no argument
I accept your concession.
my argument is that you have to emulate windows to use linux
I don't care as long as I get better performance than wangblows. Cry about it.
It's funny because wine is literally named "wine is not an emulator" tardo.
And if you do so it runs into issues, just like Wine and Linux in general
>use inkscape for the longest time

Frick Inkscape, frick Linux, frick Godot and frick FOSS trannies. It's all fun and games until you keep running into the most moronic bugs or shortcomings that will never get fixed in your lifetime, "but bro you can spend 300 hours fixing it yourself!!" The only exception is Blender.
There are good FOSS programs to be fair, 7-Zip and qBittorrent come to mind that just mogg the shit out of Winrar and uTorrent. But where FOSS excels is usually at smaller programs where a few people can properly manage them and keep up with the corpos. OS nowadays are just way too complex and integrated for small ngo organizations like linux distros to keep up with trillions of dollars, 200K employees and billions of people giving telemetry
Oh right, I do use 7zip as well and that just werks. Any FOSS that's more complex than that tends to be a walking nightmare to deal with though.
That's a moronic comparison. You're taking programs that were so successful they were practically monopolies, sat on their laurels and got more bloated and shittier by the day, and comparing them to programs widely adopted, or even made in response to them ALREADY being shit. I mean, that's like comparing windows to linux. If linux worked.
I don't think that image is a good representation of reality anon.

HMMM YES SARS WE ARE MOST LINUX USERS IN WORLDWIDE WORLD! INDIA SUPER HACKER COUNTRY! KINDLY PLEASE SIRS JOIN MY FREE DURGASOFT LINUX IT COURSE YES?
Why is linux so popular in India? It's literally the only country in the entire world that has a usage share larger than 10%. Is linux just india? Considering there's 1.5 billion indians, 10-15% of that means there's like at least 200 million indians using linux. Wouldn't that make it so that there are more indians using linux than the rest of the world combined? Holy fricking based.
You are assuming everyone in India is using PCs.
Also: High Linux usage means nothing if you just look at general OS share. The vast majority of servers in the world use Linux.
I mean who cares about servers, can I play vidya on servers? Why do you morons bring that up lmao.
>super computers and servers use linux bro!!!
literally how does that affect me when deciding between windows/mac/linux distro for my desktop gaming use
The original post was about marketshare. And i say the Linux marketshare there is bloated and not an accurate representation of what is actually happening cause Linux-run servers bump that shit up.
Also: India might have over a billion people but out of those billion you can bet your ass that not even 100 million are using a PC in a way - The vast majority of indias are poor rural farmers and street shitters. They might have a phone these days but thats about it.
no it wasnt, market share is not usage share. and isnt india in like top 5 countries by gdp? i highly doubt ALL 1.5 billion of them are just poor street shitters that eat out cow buttholes for breakfast. surely at least like 200 mill could be relatively well of?
The GDP of India is around as big as the GDP of the United Kingdom. A country that has less than 70 million people - vs a country with 1.4 billion people.
So yeah. Sounds about right that 80-90% of India isn't producing anything of value as far as that goes.
i wouldnt be surprised if 90% of indians worked in tech support considering that its impossible to search up anything on google tech related without first 10 articles being 80% indian. they are playing the longcon, immigrate to westoid countries, proceed with enshitification of their software and internet information, ruin the countries by clogging the toilets, RETVRN to INDIA
All the call centers and tech startups in India are in the big cities like Mumbai or Delhi. Massive cities but only a fraction of what the actual country is. And all the indians you learned about come from those regions.
You don't have any call centers in Shalamabubai - or Mahamuabadai. I have friends who visited India and the moment you leave any of the major hubs you just meet endless amounts of poverity, pollution and farmland.
>marketshare
...of desktop OSes. And the userbase of desktop linux worldwide is so small that even 15% of 10% of India is going to massively affect it. That's 21 million poojeet linux users.
the indian BVLL runs linux everyone knows that. if you ever look at Arch/Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu it's all indians sir. They will redeem and make linux great again. Even BASED RedHat is led by indian BVLLs that refuse to hire pink pigskins
the smartest wintroony
no i havent transitioned to linux, you got me confused with your mirror reflection xister
It's popular because it's free. If it wasn't for the fact that people throw out old hardware like used tampons in the west then I think linux would be more popular here as well (not counting android)
I once was using manjaro to mod a pirated fallout 4 and spent 2 weeks total to finally run it without crashes. It felt like the hardest puzzle game of my life, I almost enjoyed it and deleted it all shortly after.

Discord-Screenaudio literally works, I don't know what to tell you. I literally streamed a whole movie for my friends yesterday.
>Discord-Screenaudio literally works, I don't know what to tell you. I literally streamed a whole movie for my friends yesterday.
It works until it doesn't, then you have to wait for them to fix it, it was NG for like a week once
Yeah that's true, I remember discord-screenaudio not working for 2-3 days a few months ago.
I switched to Linux back when Vista launched and turned out to be a pile of shit. If you think it's bad now, you should've seen it back in 2006. The advancements Linux has made on the desktop since then are incredibly impressive, and honestly most people don't need to be on Windows anymore at all. The only time it makes sense to use Windows now is in extremely specific single program instances. Discord screenshare with audio works fine on my machine btw.
Having used Mint, it's amazing how many features it has for a FOSS OS. Same for FOSS programs written by volunteers.
But it cannot compete with Windows, which is backed by a huge company, nor with the compatibility of software there.
Its only advantage is being free and letting you access and modify the code to make your own OS.
everything is about online gaming and gaming on Linux gets you banned by the anticheat

Ganker trying to insist to me that fire emblem was worth playing was a big mistake, engage was awful.
As far as gameplay goes Engage is great. Especially if you love trying out different character builds.
The story is easily one of the worst though. Making this an anniversary title was a mistake - Way too many characters so no one gets the time they need to actually be interesting and the premise in itself is as generic as it can be.
Always do the opposite Ganker tells you, if they say a game is bad you should probably try it since its probably good, if they say a game is good then don't even bother playing it
>if Ganker says game is bad then its good
Ganker is the only place on the internet where you're allowed to have standards and be critical of videogames instead of being a hypebeast and crying about gamers being "entitled" and "toxic" while telling people to "let others enjoy things"
You're going to tell me that Suicide Squad is actually good Black person?
Sexo
Interestingly, your "suggestion" also falls into the category you are trying to describe. As in, people shouldn't listen to you.
When I find recommendation threads, I often give genuine opinion and the best possible games I think the OP might be looking for with regards to their requirements. Sure not all of them might be something they like, but if anyone thinks ALL of them MUST be the perfect game they will enjoy then they are naive morons. Just try them all out and see which one clicks.
You want to know the real secret to browsing Ganker and finding actual, meaningful and genuine posts? Figure out the time when americans usually go to sleep in your timezone and browse Ganker whenever they do. Once you figure this out, you'll improve your search for genuine posts most of the time. It's scary how accurate this is.

may I add to my linux critique
pirating shit on linux is a gazillion times harder than doing it on windows
>p-poorgay
yes, and?
>pirating on Linux is a gazillion times harder
lol
lmao
The only hard thing about Linux piracy is pirating Linux builds cause they are way less popular than the Windows versions. But the vast majority of those are badly maintained and people on Linux rarely use them in the first place. Proton and Wine these days are so good people just run the Windows version instead.
And you can easily pirate those and just run them through your preferred setting.
>get qbittorrent
>download game
>run the installer with wine
You're just moronic.
How so? Download and run is hard?
Counterpoint: you're a moron, and a gazillion isn't a real number or even an imaginary number.

I get that most people playing normiegames don't go through these but it pisses me off
My general understanding of the Deck is that it's only reliable for normiecore games because those are the only ones anyone bothers making sure are compatible out of the box. The less normalgays care about your game, the less likely it is to work.
If you use the Proton Experimental setting basically everything works. It runs several generations of Touhou games no problem for instance
>because some cutscene or audio used makes the deck shit itself
I pretty much haven't gotten cutsceens/videos working on any linux games. They are all broken some how and have to be auto skipped.
This is even with GE versions of wine/proton.
How the frick can they get this shit right is beyond me.
A friend of mine runs Mint, and every single time we've ever tried to play a game together, there's some stupid shit with his PC that gets in the way. Elden Ring Seamless Co-op? Nope. And there's no leads on Google. He couldn't even run Worms for fricks sake.
You see, he isn't a computer scientist. Far from it. I think a lot of people who want to try Linux don't know a thing about what a computer ACTUALLY is. My question is why? Why install Linux, if all you want to do is play games? It's only going to get in the way. These kinds of Linux users, it doesn't seem like they give a shit about whatever benefits Linux COULD bring. I really think most people install it just because someone else told them too, and they blindly accepted it was a good idea without putting in the effort to learn about it, despite it clearly not being something that works out of the box all the time.
System Shock Remake for one. My friend bought it and still can't play it, but swears it'll get patched. Actual fricking cope.
I installed it because my PC was shit and it ran faster than windows
System Shock remake just werks, what does your friend's proton log say, if he ever tried to troubleshoot it?
I wouldn't know, I never asked, but I highly doubt he'd even set that up. Again, this is someone that tried selling me on Mint for being "basically just better Windows", but seemingly being incapable of troubleshooting anything if there isn't a solution on Google.
Steam Deck is already an outdated handheld console. Steam Deck also supports planned obsolescence. You should have bought PC instead because it's more scalable.
Fricking PC gaming in general. Annoying stuttering on even the highest end hardware when you could've just spent a thousand dollars less and gotten a PS5 with perfectly working games out of the box.

Ive tried switching to Linux multiple times and every single time Id run into something I could only do on Windows and Id just switch back.
It has a lot of great qualities but until compatibility with Windows shit is at literally 100% I will never use it, simple as. As of right now it's pretty much only good for really old and outdated hardware that needs as many resources freed up as possible to even function.
>I could only do on Windows and Id just switch back.

What can I do on linux that I can't do with windows and the WSL?
why'd you want WSL in the first place?
NTA but in my country we've got digital IDs and the application(s) that is needed to check if it's valid or not does NOT run under linux (even though it used to, the government just doesn't want to maintain a "public" linux version) or any basic form of VM, so you either need to have a dual boot for windows/mac (lmao), spend an ungodly amount of time setting up a flawless VM that breaks every update or you need an iphone or android 12 (or later) phone.
I wouldn't give a shit if said ID wasn't necessary for 99% of online banking, schooling, working or any governmental institution. Without it you'll need to travel directly to the physical place that provides these services and there are usually only a very small amount of these places and they have barely any staff working which means that you'd have to spend an entire day doing something that the digital ID stuff could have got done for you in 2 min or less. You either let big-tech steal your info/frick with your digital security or you spend 10x more effort on getting it done, there is no in between because most of the political elites are all tech-illiterate morons
Oh, they dropped linux support?
>android 12+
jesus christ, that's recent, why?
>Why?
Because they are paper pushing morons. I have nothing against the digital ID system itself since it's a extremely efficient and very practical way to handle this shit online, it's that the people maintaining it are dumb/only want to do the bare minimum.
They've sort of "fixed" the issue by allowing users to "download" an encrypted file that they can store on any device and then just upload instead of using the application, but these files only lasts a maximum of 12 mont before you need to get a new one and you instead need to use a web app in conjunction with it to authenticate yourself. If it wasn't for the 12 month time limit on said file, I would be using that instead of their android app
I thought you were talking about home. Had to check, and we're still ok with android 6. Nice. For once, I get to laugh at someone else.
Yeah, that sucks, man.
The digital ID is an actual, legally legitimate, government/bank issued ID that only works in my home country of Swedistan.
It's really convenient and would be very good if my government wasn't so ass backwards on its development, it's actually a safer way to handle my ID even since it's a 2/3-way authentication system that only allows the the people I give specific consent to too view ANY of my personal information. This makes ID theft much harder since the only way anyone would ever be able to gain access to it is if I allow them too by writing/giving them a personal pin number and if they go through my banks own security checks. I still have a physical ID for obvious reasons but that can be stolen/copied physically while my digital ID can't unless they force their way through two (or three, not sure how the governments internal systems handles it) security factors.
>inb4 lmao, this moron trusts his government boomers
Not really, but I already need a social security number and a valid ID to be considered a citizen anyway so this is just a more secure and practical version of it
Ah, you were talking about Sweden. Yeah, I know how convenient it is here. It's supposed to work on anything 6+ though from what I can find, even if the "targeted version"(whatever the frick that means) is 12+. I don't know, my phone doesn't even have that. It makes calls.
>It makes calls
I used to have a dumb phone, but I got my current android in 2019ish when said ID system was so prevalent that it was hard to ignore. My battery is starting to die though and I dread having to pick out a new phone since my current one is just a slab of glass/metal that is impossible to open without breaking it. The one I have now is perfect for me and I can play Double Dash on it while I'm travelling by train. Finding a new phone that can fill in for my old one at a decent price will be hard if I don't want a phone plan

IMO, if you aren't comfortable compiling stuff from source yourself, you shouldn't be installing linux. I don't even necessarily think you need to compile stuff yourself, but just that, if you don't have that level of technical know how you are getting in over your head.

They respond fairly quickly.
Should've figured there would be a GitHub issue tracker, I've b***hed at them about CSGO on the native Linux CSGO/TF2 one.
Can Windows achieve the same videogame performance as Linux? No? Then sorry, I don't think I will be transitioning.
>windows (dx11)
>linux (dxvk)
and they didn't think to test windows' dxvk performance?
yeah, that sure says a lot
>windows have to rely on emulating linux to play videogames now
windows sisters, where did it all go so horribly wrong...
vulkan=linux?
news to me
didnt you know that every single foss program in existence is linux? checkmate chud! trans sisters win
DXVK is linux, you literally have to emulate another OS to use Vilkan on your office OS
It would be extremely embarrassing for Microsoft if native DX11 was slower than some freetard's emulated version of DX11 on top of Vulkan.
DirectX 12 beats Vulkan in every single modern game. DirectX 11 is a 50/50, and Vulkan is not a linux thing. It's only DirectX 9 that gets mogged by Vulkan, but every windows user can just use DXVK just like linux trannies do. There's literally nothing that linux does better than windows when it comes to gaming, because every single game is built for PC (Windows), not for servers (Linux). You are always just adding overhead and trying to somehow make a tinkering mess that barely functions by trying to pretend to be windows.
>You are always just adding overhead and trying to somehow make a tinkering mess that barely functions by trying to pretend to be windows.
So why is DXVK faster in this case than just using DX11? The game is still using the same DX11 renderer and DXVK should just add overhead.
If the DX9/11 implementation/port is poorly done then you benefit by using DXVK, because you are not actually using pure DX then. One of the popular games that has massive FPS improvements when using it is GTA 4, where you can see Windows and Linux perform much better when done with translations because Rockstar fricked up the port.
Sounds like DXVK is a better implementation of DirectX than DirectX itself.
And? Why should I care about that? What does that have to do with anything I said?
If you're trying to compare windows and linux performance, and use dxvk(which works on both) on only one side, then that's not a very good comparison. Not of windows vs linux, and not even of dxvk vs dx11, since you could just run both on windows and remove the only confounding factor right away. It's a dumb picture. Posted by a dumb person.

You know, I'm honestly curious, what exactly do you guys want to accomplish ritual posting day in and day out about how linux totally doesn't work and actually makes your computer make mustard gas?
Do you think maybe the ~400,000 people (give or take, they're probably less likely to answer a hardware survey) using it any given time on steam are just going to magically decide not to?
What do you even get out of that?
They don't do it to convince Linuxgays. They do it to get less people to check out Linux.
People are less likely to try it when all they hear is people constantly whining about it.
Same with Nvidia shills and them saying that buying AMD GPUs results in constant green screens and other fatal errors.
I want to save people the time and the headache.
I hate arch cause if I wait a long time before I update it breaks my machine (le package X depends on Y is outdated or some shit)
I hate nix-os cause emulators don't work on it
Rest are fine but I hate those two, I'm going back to Debian. Give me vanilla
that's kind of a meme. i went nearly a month without updating and it was fine.
Is that supposed to be a lot? You bill gates or something?

discord screen share not having audio IS moronic but that's discord's fault along with the shitty update system that forces me to maintain the package myself. frick discord.
So why does microsoft so desperately shill here?
Because Steam making Linux a viable option could stop their desired takeover of the PC space.
On Windows only Microsoft could simply frick over Steam with a single update
>oh yeah we needed to push out this security update - one side effect is that Steam no longer boots - we apologize for the inconvenience but this update was definitely needed there was no way around it
Do that a million times and you see how MS got the biggest marketshare with Internet explorer initially or protection software like Windows own Defender.
But if Steam makes Linux gaming work people could just give MS the finger and keep their Steam library that way. I am sure more than enough people would rather switch the OS than abandoning the Steam account they have been using for over 10 years
>or protection software like Windows own Defender.
As much as I don't like Windows, Defender (MSE before it got integrated) was just plain better than the average free antivirus which were usually more like malware themselves. They didn't need to play dirty to win that one.
Even if they didn't NEED to play dirty they still did. They kept fricking up other antivirus software and then just went "Yeah, just use Defender if you want a stable antivirus"
My dad has been using Norton for ages - which was always shit - but after he upgraded to Windows 10 they fricked with it so much he had to reinstall his entire OS to fix it.
Anti-viruses were a must have in XP/7 days, hell even in 8/8.1 practically everyone should at least have Malwarebytes. But from 10/11 Defender has become genuinely the best AV for windows, most lightweight, has best customization, and most accurate catch rate. Surprisingly it's also based because it doesn't really flag any safe cracked games with the exception of Empress cracks.
People really should give openSUSE a try.
Works great for me.

I think both Linux fanboys and haters will agree even with Valve's "handholding" with Arch Linux it requires at least 2 braincells to rub together to operate and that's 1 braincell shy for most of the gaming population.
I agree. Gaming is solved on arch+steam.
Who's behind these anti-linux posts and what do they have to gain from them?
They need reassurance because deep down they know that they're slaves by using Windows.
I don't like handhelds so I was not interested in the 'eck, but linux SOUNDS like a interesting option, in reality it's just not good for gaymin. There's way too many issues for it to be even close to windows. Piracy, modding, stability, compatibility, game availability etc. It's not even comparable sadly.
Can you just save time and say you have no idea what you're talking about?
Half of mod managers for big games don't work on linux, many multiplayer games that have launchers outside of steam don't work at all, piracy is a pain in the ass since lutris is garbage and proton is iffy, for example pirating GOG games and running through steam with proton usually causes major incosistencies and issues, like DA2 launcher bugging out and not working at all. Performance is way too inconsistent, some games like CS2 will get literally 50% performance loss no matter what compared to windows which is just not acceptable for any sane person who wants best performance from their hardware, frame times in general feel worse than a debloated windows install due to vulkan reliance on linux. You morons really need to get it through your thick khv incel heads that not everyone is out to get you and that linux has actual problems.

That's because the discord devs are using an extremely outdated version of electron. But you don't need the custom version of discord to pass audio through it you can just pipe it.
Is a Steam Deck still good for retro gaming? (Up to ps2?)
Pretty much
>Windows users when you tell them that even they are mostly "emulating" games these days and that barely any software developed for Windows actually runs natively on Windows anymore

Reminder
It's painful how accurate this is, just comparing how Plasma/Gnome feel compared to Windows or Mac is brutal. It's literally a makeshift cranky car with a billion issues compared to smooth modern just werks Tesla.
The biggest issue is that Windows is becoming such a shit show so quickly it is like having a Tesla that only acts as a giant lithium battery fireball and not a car. We may soon have no choice but to go Geoff.
Windows LTSC. Literally just working Windows. It has a longer support cycle and they cannot break or rugpull it because it's used for embedded enterprise systems that HAVE to work nonstop for years.
Windows LTSC is literally just Windows with "Get-AppxPackage | Remove-AppxPackage" ran in it. The W11 LTSC that's coming out next is even coming with Copilot and Outlook enabled as well as Edge and Backup and a bunch of other meme shit like Remote Desktop Connection. It's got the same telemetry and everything. Meme version
>W11
NTA but if you are using Win11 then you are just asking for bullshit at this point. Try older win versions.
You'll have to move over at one point or another anyway, steam will stop supporting W10 soon after 2025 probably or general games will stop allowing you to run them if you are not specific meme version. Starfield for example already has issues with the latest LTSC of W10 since it wants 22H2
>You'll have to move over at one point or another anyway
It's okay, I'll move over when there's a better Win version that's worth my time. If there isn't I might try out SteamOS one day.
>steam will stop supporting W10 soon
To be fair, I have a laptop that's still running W7 and steam still works perfectly. The only difference is that there's a big orange message at the top right in the client that's the "Steam will stop working" countdown that's stuck on 0 days. Granted, I didn't try out features like the marketplace or forums so I can't comment on full capabilities compared to ""supported"" windows versions.
>general games will stop allowing you to run them if you are not specific meme version
Well I overwhelmingly play single-player games so I'm not particularly threatened by this problem, but I would agree that this could be an issue if someone wants to play multiplayer games a lot.
>Starfield for example already has issues with the latest LTSC of W10 since it wants 22H2
My personal criticism of Starfield aside, it worked on my machine. Although I pirated the game so I don't know how accurate my assessment is.

It's interesting to see that linux was the "get shit done" OS among actualy professionals and windows was considered the "too moronic to allow them actual control" OS.
I guess that makes MacOS the "too dumb to even operate a computer" OS
Sounds about right. Your average Macgay uses Mac cause he is afraid of Windows and some evil hacker might put a virus onto his PC after clicking the wrong link.
Macgays are the most tech illiterate people on the planet.
Linuxgays never manage to explain why all the extra hassle is worth it over windows. Technical issues are already a fricking nightmare why would I want to use something that makes them worse?
because "windows is le bad!"
*proceeds to spend entire day troubleshooting unpacking a zip file*

There's this nice program called "unzip".
Even if you insist on using the command line instead of just right-clicking the file and even if you never used Linux before, you could probably get the file to unzip on your first or second attempt at blindly guessing commands.

Sure you have to tinker with it a bit, but once you make it work it's going to keep working until the sun implodes (unless you change something big).
>windows
Also the OS is literally getting strangled by being full of spyware and bloatware. The resources a bloated/debloated windows use is EXTREMELY noticable. Which you can remove manually with some tinkering but at that point you are doing the exact same thing as you would do on linux.
The QRD is that a lot of windows users are blind enough to not notice that they have already tinkered with their windows a lot with things like drivers, installing dotnet and stuff like that, which is perfectly equivalent to tinkering on linux. Except when they have to tinker on linux, they often throw a fit because "it's complicated!!" when in reality it's the same shit they do on windows with the only difference that they are now in an unfamiliar enviroment.
>unless you change something big
What is "big"?
>spyware
According to freetards this just means proprietary software in general. You can monitor network packets right? You can disable telemetry on Windows and see for yourself. And people can see what programs are doing even without access to source code; it's called knowing assembly and reverse engineering. This is exactly what was done with Intel ME that Ganker still schizoposts about.
>bloatware
Linux is bloatware compared to menuetOS.
>you are doing the exact same thing as you would do on linux.
Windows tinkering is like chiseling away at a whole rock to make a fine statue. Linux tinkering is like gluing together rocks.
>You can monitor network packets right? You can disable telemetry on Windows and see for yourself. And people can see what programs are doing even without access to source code; it's called knowing assembly and reverse engineering.
This is all true, which is why I mentioned that people also tinker on windows but for some weird reason a lot of users are only put off by the new enviroment rather than the work you have to put in. My main PC is Win10 tinkered to hell and beyond which I had to work on more than what I spent building up my arch laptop.
>Linux is bloatware compared to menuetOS.
Now that's an OS I have not heard in a long time. This is also true but this is all relative. One could argue that everything is spyware unless you use TempleOS unironically, but at that point we would be just trying to one-up eachother for no sane reason.
>Windows tinkering is like chiseling away at a whole rock to make a fine statue. Linux tinkering is like gluing together rocks.
That's also more-or-less a good analogy. Although I would add that in case of newer windows machines that rock is a room sized block you want to chisel away.
If you want a really small statue, you're better off just gluing rocks together instead of trying to carve it out of a 3 meter tall marble block.
>If you want a really small statue
Well, operating systems are by their nature "huge statues" if they aren't just toys to play with basic command line programs. Even to play video games i.e. software toys, the OS itself needs to be more than a toy. The simple fact of the matter is that you cannot expect even a small community of people to glue together something like an operating system. It has to be has to have definite and clear design from the top-down. This is better done by companies working for profit motive but even the better linux distros or other oses have been made by "benevolent dictators for life".
To improve my analogy, the tinkering the windows user does is more like chiseling away imperfections from a solid statue that was already made from microsoft. Microsoft started with the whole rock and designed Windows. Whereas Linux is a glued together statue, where people carved a bunch a small rocks until they have the right shape roughly fit together. And they will fight on which rocks get included.

That's a hoarder and/or a poser, who probably hasn't even launched half of those games.
You say?
That a game you haven't touched in three years being on your desktop is a strictly aesthetic decision.
It's there because i am a fan of Piranha Bytes RPGs. And i like having my favorites on my desktop.
There is simply something nice about it.
Risen 2 is definitely one of the weaker games but i still enjoyed it overall - story was weird and the lack of camps sucked but the islands were fun to explore and you could use a monkey.
Based if true.
I have Quake III on my desktop despite not having played it in years. Why? Wanted to play Quake, installed all three at once for my autism. Gonna cry about it? Gonna seethe?

Compelling argument. Unfortunately, 100% wrong. It actually is completely based.

No one asked you to.
>nothing based about hoarding
You'll get it when you are older. Nothing wrong with hoarding games.
>Yeah, because you really need three versions of the same strategy game to juggle based on your mood.
Yes, unironically. Mood games are pretty important.
>Love juggling half a dozen long, story-based RPG games. Just perfect for booting up and wasting an hour, yeah.
This is actually a good point. It is a bit weird to have them all ready to go because any hardcore RPG player knows that they'll just start a new playthrough anyways.
>or a poser, who probably hasn't even launched half of those games
It's a possibility but could you really tell just from one look? The poster could have genuinely played those games and you are just projecting.

>how many PS3 games
I played RDR, Demon's Souls and Drakengard that way last year. That's about it for now. Most games i wanted over the years got PC ports down the line anyway
>Risen
Risen 2 somehow became a generic pirate story and instead of one giant island you have many smaller islands to visit - Also no factions just a decision between voodoo or guns - Game is okay if you ignore the combat which is ass.
Risen 3 brought back factions but the game is mostly just fanservice for PB games enjoyers. Lots of references to Risen 1, Risen 2 and the Gothic games. New MC this time and the plot with his soul getting stolen is super dumb. Still the second best game in the series though and better than the ELEX titles in my opinion.
>ignore combat which is ass
That's half the fun in RPGs for me. Even if Gothic's combat was ass, it was an enjoyable jank learning how it works. Is it ass in that sense, or is it just bad all around?
You are forced to constantly roll around. If you think people are shitposting about Dark Souls 3 being a rollfest you haven't seen anything yet. That and your attacks are just spamming clicks. Super braindead. It's obvious that this was their very first attempt to design combat around a controller.
In Risen 3 you can atleast go magic and avoid most of that shit but Risen 2 only really let's you use limited voodoo stuff if you pick that or guns - which are pretty limited.
Jesus damn, I liked gothic 1 combat but spamming clicks is shite.
Oh well, I'll just finish Risen 1, I'm curious on what the monks are doing anyways.
What really happens is
>libpenis-vegana32 is outdated, use libpenis-veganal64-nvidia
$pacman -R libpenis-vegana32
>every package you have is dependent on libpenis-vegana32 anon!
Then I would trouble shoot on how to get upgraded to libpenis-veganal64 and it's so annoying. I get linux needs work, but I don't like babysitting updates, and I shocked that I'm the only one with this issue.
Windows 12 looks pretty nice
Reposting results from my tests moving from Win 10 to Linux. I've found that most well optimised games, and games which usually have issues with Windows compatibility run much better on Linux.
BO3 didn't work due to an issue with integrated graphics. Overall using Linux I've found performs much better than Windows but it's a bit more of a hassle to set things up. Basically all of my Steam games work, and you can just add non-Steam games to steam to use proton if you want.
This entire thread is a mess of people calling everyone else trannies so if any of you would like to know anything else about my findings just ask.
Holy based actual videogame player.
This is desperate windows shilling thread, they will ignore your post. Post in actual linux gaming thread if you want discussion.
Why can't I play fortnite on linux? It's the most popular game in the world
The "community" is the worst aspect of Linux. I've only tolerated using Linux up to this point because I am the type of person who likes knowing exactly what the computer is doing, but asking fellow linuxgays is the last fricking thing I would do. You have to take anything they say with a grain of salt because they are ideologically driven to sugarcoat, oversimplify or outright lie to get you to use it or keep using it. Free software, "Unix philosophy", even the communities around certain projects like Wayland, they are geniune cults. Linuxgays are just condescending as frick.
i'm not even gonna try and read all of that until you attach 3 pages worth of logs and your hardware specs
Linuxtroony acting like the police wanting documentation.
Normalgays prefer Windows cause everytime something is broken they can just ask their local IT friend to fix it for them
ITgays prefer Linux cause it isn't a pain to troubleshoot and generally easier to work with as long as you know what you are doing.
I never told any of you to use Linux. Don't use it.
Seething about me using it makes you certifiably mentally ill though.
Works on my machine, and if that upsets you, haha eat shit dumbass.
how hard is it to make something like windows without all the bullshit they're trying to force in
Very hard? There's a reason why linux or bsd or mac or chromeos can't do even 50% of the basic daily use shit that windows pulls off. Windows is PC, microsoft has been shilling insane money and developers into it for like 30 years. And one of the main reasons it's gotten as good as it is, is exactly because of telemetry. It's a positive loop, the more telemetry you have and more users you have the easier it is to make a better product that benefits everyone.
>Troubleshooting on Windows
Double click the game, it works because everything is sorted for you by automatic background services
>Troubleshooting on Linux
Game doesn't work, turn off the PC and enter your dual booted windows because it's impossible to use a gaming PC with linux as it doesn't support majority of popular games.
>Double click the game, it works because everything is sorted for you by automatic background services
post proof of you playing splinter cell pandora tomorrow on windows
It's a 2004 game, why the frick would you think that windows can't run a 2004 game? I could imagine you trying to epic own me by telling me to run some game from the 80s that's DOS based and hasn't been re-released on Steam or GOG, but this shit can run on literally any windows machine out of the box just by not debloooooting it and letting compatibility services run in the background properly.
>I-I didn't want to play this g-game, b-baka!
lol!
im not buying or downloading a game im not interested in for some schizoid, but if you werent a tech illiterate moron you'd know that every single pc game that can run on linux can also run on windows, since you are just emulating windows ape.
So windows can't play it, glad we came to an agreement. Call me when it can play all the games, I won't even consider switching until then.
I accept your concession, you agree that linux relies on windows runtimes (wine/proton) so you are aware that any game like that inherently runs better on windows. Good talk.
Don't care, still not transitioning to your groomer OS.
still waiting for proof
I tried Linux when I had a 2080S and yes, some of the games gained 20fps more. But I bought a 7900 xtx and a new Ryzen 3D CPU and now it doesn't matter. It's amazing everywhere. Linux is an "OS" designed for poor people, with shitty laptops that use 2 GB RAM. Try the pill of stopping being poor or saving to buy high end hardware and it won't matter if it's Windows or Linux, the game will go at more than 200 fps in 1440p all in ultra.
Gaming isn't everything.
Go back to Ganker, then.
I totally agree with you, but we are in Ganker and I suppose that here we are referring to video gamers. If you want to talk about Ganker linux works and is "better" for other things.

Linux troubleshooting
>"Yeah game is broken but if you copy this line into your terminal you will install the required drivers and codecs and after that the game just runs through wine"
Linuxgays have boomer-tier trustworthiness. Maybe that's why they always bring up how Linux has "no viruses" like anyone with common sense gets them anymore.
You are actually moronic that you copy strange commands off the internet. Even if 99% of the time it isn't malicious, you don't know what it may change in the background that you can't simply revert without knowing a different command. And there is almost always troubleshooting information for windows whereas you are lucky to find information for linux about non-normalgay native windows games that isn't outdated. And you still do need windows troubleshooting information; do you really not know that Wine also has regedit?
Oh no. Imagine how many evil virus i could get by telling my terminal to install firefox for me.
Opposed to being a Wintoddler and using the browser like a normal person. All i have to do is find the right site for the download or else i might accidentally install a million malware browser addons and completely brick my settings.
You said copy commands. Do you really need to copy sudo apt-get install firefox? If you know what commands to use, then you don't need to copy them. You wouldn't need to look up information in the first place. The issue is with non-trivial commands that linuxtards will blindly copy without understanding what they actually do.
>i might accidentally install a million malware browser addons and completely brick my settings.
Sounds like a skill issue.
>install linux
>turns out pirated games don't work on it
great I got suckered into the greatest DRM ever.
No other drm system filtered me as hard.
Just use Bottles for all of your games which you haven't bought on steam.
I'm using Bottles for all of my pirated games and it works perfectly well.
All of my games in the picture are pirated.
somebody suggested I use heroic game launcher.
And the proton and wine options there.
Neither of which can even install the fricking cracked games because it CANT UPACK THEM LAMO!
And the ones that don't need unpacking are broken half the time or have massive suttering or 30% of windows performance.
The games that work on linux either just work out of the box with no issues. OR are a ABSOULTE broken nightmare and unplayable.
There is almost no in between.
From fricking games that are unplayable due to anti cheat.
To pirtate games not working its a frickig night mare and every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME
linuxgays will jump in and just say "user error lol"

Linux cannot by itself unpack SHIT.
its honestly one of the biggest fricking trolls I'v fallen for this decade.

Are you sure you wanna install your game on your Z: drive? Your Z: drive is your Linux drive. Try to install it on your C: drive (It's the "Windows" drive wine is using)
it makes no fricking difference
ok try this: Don't install it into C:/Games/
Install it into C:/Program Files (x86)/
>wasn't just a bullshit screenshot
>somehow loses the setup1.bin
all right, I'm interested to know what went wrong here and how it could be fixed
what is FreeArc and what Windows-specific stuff does it rely on that makes it not work in WINE
what can we do to fix this?
who the frick knows, I'v asked linux gays in multiple threads multiple times and they all just start trolling and saying it's user error but never giving a solution on how to fix this shit.
For reference this same installer works just fine on windows 7.
what fricking difference will choosing a different path make?!
again who knows what goes on in this linux environmentcope.
there is so many layers of bandaids and shit going on that I have completely lost the plot of what is even happening.
>what fricking difference will choosing a different path make?!
Did it work?
Because I vaguely remember having the same problem on a Windows Operating system.
I don't think it's a Linux problem but the install script of the cracking software shitting itself when you install it under C:/Games and not into the Program Files path.
This never happens.
Pirate the game somewhere else and try to install it again.
no it didn't REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEe
>Pirate the game somewhere else and try to install it again.
what do you mean?
>what do you mean?
What I mean is I did your job for you and used reading comprehensions

By the way, I'm 99% certain this has frick all to do with linux, since all indications indicate to me that your archive is fricked. Feel free to test it on a windows device to prove me wrong

If this happens to you multiple times just don't use linux. Your OS is here to solve a problem, I like linux cause I can rice it and program stuff real fast on it (and my chinkpad's old). If you wanna play games, switch to windows

but they do? Black person, the computer doesn't even know if a game is pirated or not. just assign the correct steam id to the game.
unless im somehow hallucinating all the dozens of pirated games i played on my machine. stupid homosexual.

>yet you'll never try another scene release of it... hm.
NOT EVERY GAME HAS 300 different cracked versions of a game.

But this one does. You want to reflect the state of ALL cracked games on Linux, then actually do it.

I literally acknowledged I don't know what to do here. Still if you're gonna be this whiny about it, might as well download another source.
haaps;\beamunwienered.nat(SlASH but the backwards one)2-deliver-us-the-moon-free-download. Here's a DL of the game in a zip, if you uncompress it, the game should run without installing it. You figure out what to change of hte URL or just look it up.
I'm only doing this cause you're a W7 gay
>I literally acknowledged I don't know what to do here.
again, we have had this exact conversation over this exact issue for weeks now.
Black person I wasn't on Ganker until this week, much less a linux thread this month.
Just don't use linux anymore, clearly it's not solving your problems. If you want to seethe over not being able to pirate games go ahead, but you have a clear out

I'm so sorry...
Ok give me a few minutes. I'm downloading the game myself to try it out.
>Ok give me a few minutes. I'm downloading the game myself to try it out.
the game itself doesn't matter. what matters is that many cracked games, like codex for example can't be installed on linux because of this shit.
The only "pirated" games I could get to work is fricking GOG variants.
So any DRM game literally is unplayable.
Linux is literally the strongest DRM measure I'v ever encountered.
>the game itself doesn't matter. what matters is that many cracked games, like codex for example can't be installed on linux because of this shit.
This can't be since I installed multiple codex cracked games on my linux machine.
Installing Codex games is by itself possible
okay, how?
I started Bottles --> Ran the .exe
To be fair I know I have seen your error message somewhere, that's why I'm downloading the same game to run it
>I started Bottles --> Ran the .exe
okay, guess I will download bottles and see if that works.
tried it, exact same error using bottles
I may, have fixed it another way, will report
ok I'm nearly done downloading the game. I'll try it out
well, I think I got the install down.
But the game doesn't work itself.
On proton GE it shows loading on a black screen, then the game crashes.
On wine GE, it plays some sounds of what I assume are intro cutscenes, but it just shows a black screen and nothing happens.
I always use Soda as the runner. currently I'm using soda-8.0-2.
Game will be finished soon, torrent is just slow as shit. I'll be reporting back
thread is going to die.
Download will be finished in around 3 minutes.
we are on page 8
If the thread dies, you can go post the result in
and anon can go look for it there. The dedicated shitposting board known as Ganker is too fast for this "I'll be back later lol" shit.
I suspect that the "Unarc.dll" is part of the cracking software and not included in Windows known dll. library. You probably have to put it in yourself via .dll override which can be found under your bottle --> Tools --> Wine legacy tools --> Configuration. But I'll try it out
ohnonononono
>winshizo left the thread
>easy as one two thFRICK CODEX
at least try fatman
To be honest, I have never used Heroic games launcher because after using Bottles I bothered to try out anything else.
For your unpacking problems: I had the same problems unpacking .iso files.
I use 7zip to solve this.
I'm sure there is a graphical user interface for this but I like to use the terminal.
After installing 7zip you just type in:
>7z x (name of the file)
Your files will be extracted without any problems.
>unpacking .iso
But why? You can mount it.
You can just imagine them irl sitting at their desk lecturing about the benefits of linux, "works on my machine" and in the same breath try to casually ignore the game crashing in front of you. Frick contrarians.
The reason why I like to use Bottles is that Bottles creates ONE single Windows C: Drive instance where you can install all your games into. Lutris for example creates a C: Drive for every single fricking game. With Bottles you just do the following to install a cracked game:
>1. Download the game
>2. Go to bottles, click "run executable"
>3. Choose the .exe
>4. Install it
>5. press play
It's even possible to play cracked games via multiplayer with the Spacewar crack as long as you also install Steam via Bottles and you start Steam before you start the game.
>pirated league of legends
I forgot about League of Legends. Obviously not pirated lmao
Ah, bummer. I was hoping you had ascended to a level of piracy I couldn't even fathom.
You pirated league of legends? How, and why?

>wild iToddler appears
Yeah but mac has no gaems.
Windows users are the new console players. In Linux you have ultimate freedom.
No you do not have freedom. You cannot mod games because mod managers are for windows. You cannot pirate because you have to rely on launchers and can't just double click stuff. You cannot run games without relying on windows runtimes and emulating them. You cannot play games that you'd like because they won't let you. Linux users are cucks in sheds that watch the bulls. You are literally the "I like to watch" meme since you cannot run any new games lol. Post a pic of you playing Warzone or Tarkov

lmao of the games you use as a example, you pick slop. I've running linux as my main OS and it has been great, these games include Elden Ring, Bg3, Monster Hunter World. Ect.

My friends keep calling me to play vidya together but I have to constantly reject them because my Arch GNU+Linux cannot run anything. I keep trying to redpill them about the CIA spying on them but they for some reason talk to me less and less. I feel like I'm getting left behind and forgotten by everyone, maybe it's the CIA that's doing this. I fricking knew that those Ganker posters were right. I think I will stop leaving my house since I don't want to get followed. I never even cared about having a social life in the first place. All I need is Ganker and linux.
Do like me. Find friends with a PlayStation.
No, I can't do that. Ganker told me that proprietary hardware like consoles is spying on me. I took out all of the non free hardware that doesn't support all fifty of my necessary freedoms. I covered my webcam but I'm still paranoid and search my room for cameras every day. My parents get mad at me for not getting a job or education or training but I tell them that being a NEET is based according to my Ganker friends. They have fights constantly, but I tune it out while ricing my tiling window manager like Luke Smith does, he's more of a dad to me than my butthole father anyway

Linooks is much more responsive on craptops for sure. But battery life often sucks out of the box so you need to setup all the power management.
Windows be like
>Hey look at me, I'm updating myself again!
and then my computer takes forever to load and I can't even play my games or do anything else. It's like a giant roadblock that won't move no matter how much I honk my horn.
So frustrating!

Linuxgay here.
GIMP sucks.
Use Krita instead.
t. former paint.net gay
They have different uses, Krita is for drawgayging and GIMP is for editing.
now that kde plasma is finally joining gnome in fighting against bigotry, is it time to start talking about adding lgbt flags to distributions and desktop environments? we have to make it clear that bigots are NOT welcome to linux

anyways everyone id like to show you this please watch it
holy cute, there's at least one based aspect of linux. its the cute girls that transition to it!
>cant use linux
>this is somehow the fault of Ganker
on new years i accidentally moved my desktop to a different folder which completely fricked everything up since it automatically created a new empty desktop folder that I couldnt delete or merge and i had to spend like 2 hours to figure out i had to write a fricking command in the terminal to fix it
I work in Cybersecurity.
My entire fricking job is centered around using various security-oriented Linux distros.
I don't use Linux for gaming or even general computing at home.
I never have and never will.
Because Linux is ass for more broad, general tasks.
I would too I was stuck using schizo distros. Try using a real version of linux, like Arch or Debian.
After using Linux from 2007 to 2018, I learned that you can't trust Linuxgays when it comes to stuff like this.
Hating Linux is my personality.

Had my Deck for around a year and a half now, never encountered any of your issues. I feel sorry for you man.
Hard to tell which is more effective, this or the transparent mouse cursor.
i wish it was better but it isn't
and it's definitely not improving while Windows continues to
>Windows improving
Hope you will enjoy having to pay a subscription in the near future.
and when? when will they start asking for a subscription?
When they release win12
that wont be for a bit yet anyway and there is no evidence it will be cloud based just articles written by morons

>people switching to linux just for games
Black folk just find ways to keep using windows 7 or if you cave, get enterprise 10 (11 is NOT worth beta testing. I know I use it for work, the only feature I liked was windows z)
If you're gonna use it for games, you're just gonna get a bunch of technical issues because you're a newbie to linux.
Ganker is no better than the advertisers they claim to hate. Always shilling under the guise of being fans
For a lot of things, I find I have a much smoother, less obsfucated, and simpler experience on linux. Gaming/general computer use/database work/ and general programming are all really pleasent on linux. Game development is not though.
OP post sums up this statistic. Just look at those leaving gamers after been memed to install troony distro by troonix discord trannies
Linux usage among English-language users increased during the same period though.
speaks more to the sheep flocking to windows than anybody leaving
Does Linux have anything like MorePowerTool for AMD GPUs? That's the only thing preventing me from switching. I want to run my tweaked OC/UV setting out of the box instead of unoptimized defaults.
CoreCtrl
Cool, still seems very limited though. Like it only lets you touch core voltage and core/mem frequency. On MPT it lets you touch SoC voltage, SoC clocks, DPM states, Feature Controls like Deep Sleep, and more way beyond the VBIOS limits. Seems if you want that on Linux you have to get really dirty with messing with the GPU itself while on Windows it's just a GUI and reboot.
On linux it's done live, no reboot required, you can switch profiles on the fly.
>DPM states
Like powersave/compute/3d etc.? It can do that.
There's CoreCtrl for power, voltage and fan control, AFAIK doesn't fully work for 7xxx yet. No idea what else your program can do.

filtering troony and its variations was a good call
Works on my machine
Still workin on my machine
(Says no playtime because it’s a non-steam game)
There's a Decky plugin that will track the non-steam game playtimes anon, it even has a built in feature similar to the 3ds playtime
That’s cool thanks
No problem, sorry I don't remember the name I think it was something like playtime or SDH playtime, but its on the Decky store so it should be easy to track down
Not done workin on my machine
These’re workin on my machine
what's so good about the spreadsheet OS?

It's more likely than you think.

Installing the game went over without any problems. Trying to start the game
Game is launching without any issues.
frick how?
What exaclty are you using?
I use a "Gaming" Bottle with soda-8.0-2 as starter
When did soda 8 come out? I thought I checked recently and saw only 7.
A while ago. First they released 8.0 experimental, then 8.0-2
I'm using epic launcher on both the proton and wine. As described.
Currently trying the bottles. The issue with that is the installer doesn't automatically copy the codex files, the option is not there.
This is how my installer looks when I start the .exe with bottles. I basically just chose the file path and to copy contents of codex directory to installdir.
Unfortunately I don't have any experience with epic launcher
heres what I get
this is with bottles, with heroic game launcher it does give the option to copy the codex files.
Additionally, don't make a "custom bottle" you have to check ALL options by yourself such as using dedicated graphics, which dxvk you'll be using etc.
Make a "Gaming" bottle. Everything will be set for you by default

literally all I get is
Not him but learn to produce a log and check it for missing .so files, you may be missing some system dependency. Looking for concrete errors is more productive than saying "it doesn't work".
hey I'm a video game player, not a QA, don't expect me to know any of this shit or give you comprehensive logs without a guide.

If you wanted a Linux thread then you could have just created one hours so. Linux thread and Linux hate thread are not duplicates.
Ok, I get it without shitposting and easy baits threads die too fast.
