THIS THREAD WILL NOT DIE NOW
Good I guess, I don't play multiplayer stuff much.
linux has no games though
It's funny how people almost murdered each other just to get the chance to buy a device that, according to you, has absolutely zero games
all those people sure are stupid amirite my fellow corporate slaves
It has all the games
will this help get Linux pre-installed on more PCs? That would be the only way to make Linux more popular.
Theoretically you could get people to stop being moronic and stop taking Microsoft's dick from behind, but you know that in practice it can not be done.
Also, Linuxgays should very actively observe developments in consumer tech and quickly embrace emerging platforms instead of trying to win on legacy platforms.
I fear that Linux vs Windows will be Firefox vs IE all over again.
Concept of a desktop OS will be too irrelevant by the time Linux wins.
Currently Linuxgays have massive advantage on mobile / hybrid systems, anything ARM and RISC-V baded. If this really is the future, Linuxgays should do everything in their power to establish monopoly on those platforms.
microsoft pays manufacturers to have windows pre installed.
>battleye
Haven't heard this one in so many years.
You about 20 years late linuxbro
you mean epic was too late, since they were the ones withholding support for years over petty bullshit
If the Linux version of EAC is any less effective than the Windows version I guarantee you that the majority of devs will not enable it.
>implying the windows version of EAC is effective at all
Your delusions are not reality.
Shame pirating on linux is a pain. Codex stuff at least just kinda doesn't work for me, it doesn't properly install.
For me it has been as easy with wine
For non-codex stuff I run the installer via lutris and then change the target file to the game executable. But codex shit doesn't work when I tried that.
I don't think I've ever had an issue with Codex.
Repacks very often don't work though.
Fitgirl works fine for me on wine, Dodi works but has some graphical bugs, haven't used other repacks because those two are the biggest ones on the Russian counter strike forum
Fitgirl always fails on my machine with some "out of memory" pop up (even though I don't actually run out of RAM).
Might be missing some library or something on your wineprefix
Does it work if you check the "limit installer to 2gb of ram"?
I think the newer ones don't have that option (unless I'm blind/moronic).
Can't check right now but the last one I installed did, it's on the bottom left of the installer
I'm moronic, it's the option on the first page before you hit next
could be an issue where you're not running it as large address aware, or you aren't allocating enough ram for the program. You're running x64 bit windows yeah?
Wine uses 64 bit by default, right? I shouldn't have to go out of my way to configure that.
https://www.winehq.org/announce/1.2
wine 1.2 supports x64 yeah, but you need to run it as a x64 prefix otherwise it'll default to x86/32 bit
Tales of Arise has low frame rate on wine linuxbros
Good
>platinum rating on protondb
>no reports mention any framerate issues
weird
Wow it's almost like a platinum rating on protondb means
>this game opens the title screen and plays the opening cut scene without a crash to desktop
No shit. There aren't that many unique testers to cover every possible hardware+distro+proton combination. Even if the first 100 people have 0 issues there's a chance that the next 1000 people will not be able to run a game.
It doesn't. That would be bronze rating.
Works on my machine
Even though I don't play multiplayer games this is great, I hope more people migrate to a free OS
>>falseflaggers are already trying to paint it as a bad thing
>>the bulk of arguments now are "i-it's shit anyway, battleye is the important one"
Who? What? When? Where?
Would it be better or worse if system-d absorbs EAC?
the end of Windows gaming
Don't know why they made based it on arch instead of gentoo like chromeOS. Since they know exactly what hardware the thing will have they could have made optimised the frick out of it. They don't need to make every device compile everything itself since the same compiled binaries should work on all of them the same, just distribute that.
someone will do it for sure
comparing benchmarks will tell us if Gentoo gives enough of an performance boost to go install it
It does, if you compile everything specifically enough for your own hardware
but is the differebce between "good enough" arch and "maximum optimisation" Gentoo big enough to switch distros?
Maintaining Gentoo is a pain and Valve wants users to be a able to control the system something Arch can do easily.
I use office on my daily basis
Im not going to install a meme OS just cuz muh freedom
your loss
enjoy staying locked
BattleEye sisters...
How hard is it for a total newbie to set up gentoo?
It's not hard. Just very time consuming.
There's literally no point.
How so?
I assume you ask about gentoo because you heard somewhere that software is installed by compiling it, therefore making it more "optimized" for your hardware. The performance gains are very minimal and if you're installing Steam and literally any proprietary game they will be installed traditionally (without local compiling) anyways and therefore you won't get any performance boost. You might gain 1-2% fps since you'd be compiling system level stuff, including drivers (unless you're on nVidia). But this is not worth the 2-50x longer install times.
The better solution is to just use a non-meme distro and install an optimized kernel. Gentoo has a very specific use-case. It's not a desktop distro.
>inb4 ChromeOS
ChromeOS is pre-compiled by Google and it's basically just ChromeOS and a container system running web apps and android apps.
Thanks for explanation. Guess i'll try Arch or Ubuntu because they're seemingly easier for morons to use.
Just a heads up, arch has an installer now. Type archinstall once you're in the installation medium.
Arch based stuff is usually unstable as frick and causes more problems than base arch. Pretty much all I hear about manjaro is about how something broke.
a lot of kernel flags are documented poorly or not at all. if you want a minimalist distro just use arch and slap on zen kernel.
It's possible to disable everything you don't need on Linux.
A guy on AUR did it: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/linux-slim/
the problem is you don't always know what you can safely disable because shit isn't documented properly.
If you have a but of technical knowledge you'll be fine so long as you follow guides. HOWEVER it's going to be time consuming no matter how experienced you are. Gentoo compiles everything from source, even once you've installed the system and configured all the flags you want it's going to compile any of your programs or other software that get updated meaning updates can take ages. Browsers are especially bad, it's not uncommon for them to take a full day. Honestly don't bother unless you have enough experience to know that it's definitely something you want.
The reason I suggested it for the SteamDeck was because all steamdecks have the same hardware so valve could just compile it on their machines and distribute the binaries.
Feels good being a Linux chad.
>battleye ceo confirms linux support is coming very soon
we made it bros
the year of the linux desktop is HERE
The year of linux unironically being upon us is pretty exciting
It's that simple
How does one get started in the world of Linux? What is babby's first distro? What is the distro I should be aiming for once I get used to how Linux functions?
Just use something like Manjaro.
>babby's first distro?
PopOS or Mint I guess
>What is the distro I should be aiming for
Whichever one you want.
Don't overcomplicate it, you can do so later
https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/try-ubuntu-before-you-install#1-getting-started
Ubuntu and Mint are both good babby distros.
I learn towards Mint since it's more windows-like.
I'm gonna install the OS on my gaming laptop if it's not a nightmare windows will never return.
