It boils down to:

Now post an infographic to get 3 to SA working properly under Windows.
Half of what's described in the picture is software you already have installed either way such as drivers or steam itself (lol).
Posting that only proves that you're a techlet, so my point still stands.
Same OP, played it a couple days ago, I didn't have to do any of that, just clicked install and played >B-but you have it uninstalled! It seems it did 't work so I win!

I modified GTA IV countless of times on Linux and Windows.
Also 60 degrees is perfectly fine, are you baiting or a moron? Also my GPU is OCed at 180/500 I'm on summer with 30 C° as well.
>I value my time
Me too. That's why I don't spend it using an OS that I don't enjoy using. >b-b-but you have to tinker for 9000 hours to run a game???
Last time I had to do any extra work to get a game working, it was just a matter of renaming a file and running protontricks commands found on ProtonDB. The game in question also runs like ass on Windows anyway because it's a badly made port of a console game. The only reason I'd use Windows at this point is to play games that aren't possible to play on Linux, and... well, I'm sorry but, I just don't want to play Fortnite etc., and I never did, and I never will.
except modding on linux is a nightmare
it's a great secondary system and I'd use 80% of the time if I could switch between them in 1 second without buying a second PC
need wine for every mod manager, sometimes even specific patches
workshop mods seem to be okay but try modding fallout or cyberpunk and it's a whole week of wasted time easily
Anyways I'm not aware of native linux ports of cyberpunk or bethesda games so you will have to use wine to play them anyways, what's the problem with using your mod manager through wine?

The top part is instructions on how to change your proton version in steam, that has nothing to do with modding. The second part you shouldn't do, if you want to install MO2 for a non-Steam game you would install it using Lutris after installing the game using the windows binary here:
It boils down to:
1) Windows just werks
2) Linux doesn't werk
3) The Linux community are elitist buttholes
Also FPBP (fourth post best post)
Linuxgays are the vegans of the internet, they impose some unnecessary challenge or restraint on themselves and then seek attention on the internet once they realize their efforts were unrewarding and meaningless
They care a lot though.
These people are unironically upset about other people not using Windows.
Why? I don't know. Same reason Xbox console owners get mad at total strangers using PlayStation consoles, I guess. I don't understand it. I have to assume it's some kind of autism.

They probably don't even know of any, the current thing windows shills are doing is pretending you can't mod games on linux, they will never ask how to mod games they will just pretend you can't.
>sees big red number >assumes its temp
Brainlet.
Also semi-passive cooling is in, by default on both windows and linux fans don't kick in until 60C for GPUs. You could be playing old games and it wouldn't even cause the fans to spin up.
what's impressive is that he's running it at 200FPS. It's almost impossible to get anything above 120 and you'll still have crazy drops in crowded areas even with a high end GPU.
you need to cap fps in gta4 because it shits the bed when you get more than, say 60-75fps. I launched it and it initially had 4 digits fps. game was "running" switching between everything happening at 3x speed or 0.25x speed and everything flashing, rerendering and other crazy shit.
>OS says steam needs xyz package as a dependency >The dependency is resolved automatically
The only disingenuous one is you pretending you know how things work
>3) The Linux community are elitist buttholes
This, it's not the only reason but a pretty sizeable chunk of why I don't want to associate with Linux is that a former friend got into it and would not shut the frick up about it like he transcended this mortal plane or something.
Ironically he fell out of the friend group because we were all playing multiplayer games at the time that he couldn't on Linux because of anticheat lmao
It's not that he didn't want to play, it was that he couldn't.
And it's not like we kicked him out of our friend group, we just tended to hang around and talk mostly when we play vidya, and since he couldn't play he didn't bother joining the VC.
He was still welcome to come and talk.
Last I heard he became a dedicated furry discord moderator lmao
We still played other games on occasion and he would join, but we tend to get obsessed with one or two games for months at a time and mostly gather to play those.
That's not the elitist part, the elitist part is him talking up linux to high heavens while making snide remarks about people who use other operating systems. There came a point where he would start and someone would basically say "ok buddy, we get it" like clockwork
>someone was severely autistic so I'm mad at an operating system
Linux didn't make him that way. If he didn't choose to obsess over Linux then it would have been something else.
It's not that he didn't want to play, it was that he couldn't.

>It's not that he didn't want to play, it was that he couldn't.
But he could have, by using Windows. At most, he wanted to play the game less than he wanted to use Linux. "Linux users can't _______" is always a dumb take. Most Linux users dual boot, and even your turbo autist friend was making a choice.
If you're going to be this pedantic then you're going to have to acknowledge that the word "manually" literally means "by hand" and his hands are not involved in his heart function.
what do you mean? i have gta v on my steamie deck and i’ve graphics on high. i havent tried mods yet but online works fine, and i have the rockstsr launcher version so i had to do some frickery with lutris in desktop mode
Linux for me has faster download speeds and runs all my games out of the box or with some tweaking. I only go on windows for certain cases if I need to run a game there thag I just straight up can’t on Linux.
>Windows likes to eat grub once in a while
More like >GRUB corrupts windows bootloader because freetard drivers and bootloaders suck ass >Windows sees its bootloader is damaged and repairs it, inadvertently overwriting GRUB
Chainload Windows bootloader into GRUB, not the other way around and you will not have this issue
I did. Then, after a few months, I never touched the Windows partition again.
But it's a good safety net for those who get filtered or had no good reason to be trying Linux in the first place.
Linux is objectively an awful choice for music production, and since that's what I spend 60% of my time doing on my PC, I'll have to stick with Windows.
MacOS doesn't support VSTs (officially), the vast majority of music tools are Windows. That said, Logic is a decent DAW if you already use a Mac as your main computer.
Fair, I think so too.
I tried ardour and it was pretty confusing. You don't have the VST Ableton and FL has either.
Ableton works but VSTs and plug ins are a pain.
Reaper is good but yeah you'll struggle getting most plugins to work at all on Linux, and the ones you'll get working come with a caveat such as worse latency, that shit doesn't fly when making music. There's a reason very, very few producers bother with Linux at all.
>server software >not productive
Whatever you're trying to imply, those servers are more productive than you could ever be even when they're idling lol
100% never bannable, it doesn't inject code into the dlls.
Reaper is good but yeah you'll struggle getting most plugins to work at all on Linux, and the ones you'll get working come with a caveat such as worse latency, that shit doesn't fly when making music. There's a reason very, very few producers bother with Linux at all.
It is trully a bummer.
Of course this isn't a "Linux problem", if fruity loops and/or Ableton tried to support the platform it wouldn't be an issue.
Same for adobe and such.
I don't have it I think, point was a game that always ran like shit getting 150-250fps on an OS it wasn't designed for.
But you wouldn't think about that
Because just because it's good for video games now, doesn't mean it's good for literally anything else.
The Steam Deck is great for what it is - a video game machine. But actual work still can only be done on a Windows machine.
>anon look, this [game] runs great on Linux! have you tried it? >NUUUUUUUUUUUUU ME NO LIKEY LINUX IT IS troonyWARE THIS BELONGS ON Ganker
yeah every time.
Not everyone exclusively uses their PC for gaming. For example, I could not use the music production tools I do on Linux, so why would I consider switching?
I don't get the point of these threads, this is much more of a Ganker topic than it is Ganker related.

>anon look, this [game] runs great on Linux! have you tried it? >NUUUUUUUUUUUUU ME NO LIKEY LINUX IT IS troonyWARE THIS BELONGS ON Ganker
yeah every time.
Why I'm not using linux is simple . unsupported drivers. my soundcard doesn't have have linux drivers. I kinda want sound. And the display drivers fricked up my colors and picture quality.
My USB 3.0 drivers actually worked this time so progress there. I went back to windows after like two days. Bad drivers are non starter, I'm not going to put up with an OS that doesn't work my stuff.
There's a scary amount of PC games that run flawlessly on a default Wine configuration but require downloading hundreds of fan fixes from russian dark web just to get to the main menu before crashing on Windows.
>but the game works on Windows Vista
lol
Anyway, go ahead and name a game and a distro that doesn't run it. You probably can't. And if you can, it's probably some badly made native game that demands Ubuntu 14 or some shit, and the Windows version of that game probably works with Proton on every distro.

Just werks for me on Linux with normal Wine + DXVK. I played through it a couple of months ago with zero issues. But it should also work fine on Windows. If you have a legit copy then you need to crack it, because SafeDisc doesn't work at all on modern Windows and Wine support for it is probably spotty as well.

Kek, DRMgays on suicide watch
I haven't used anything else other than Cheat Engine, and it works.
You need to use the same wine prefix as the game so it can read it.
I also used cheat tables.
Decky has a memory editor plugin >but muh cheat tables

I have a Tumbleweed install on one of my SSD's, but I'm too lazy to set up wine and shit when I can just boot into Windows. That and I'm not sure how good Unity + Photoshop support is these days.
arch has every piece of software you could want and has the latest packages, usually.
there are other options but mine was arch for 2 years and I don't regret a thing.
Use the archinstall command if you don't want to install it the hard way.

Don't listen to him. If you want Arch but without the hassle just use EndeavourOS. Nobara also has a bunch of gaming related kernel tweaks and patches out of the box.
EOS is generally just easier since its an installer and not an install script. And honestly part of the charm of Arch is learning how Linux works through its manual install.
I'm just glad that EOS replaced Manjaro as the easy mode Arch.
I'm gonna say it, but people whining about manjaro are dumb. >But their packages being a month out of date might make a bug report inaccurate for something on the AUR

I was testing GTA IV on a new CPU, it wouln't make sense to do that.
I do, BUT:
i want limit my global fps
i want use dlss framegeneration and all nvidia shit in my modded games where i probably cant run modded gaems
some games, like bdo and few other simply doesn't werk
other than that i would dump shitdows like in 0.001 sec.
right now im using both
I have it locked at 300fps on every game using GOverlay which is like a GUI for mangohud. >i want use dlss framegeneration
Why? It is on 5 games and it runs like shit on 3, it is a way to FOMO so you upgrade every 2 years. >modded games
It is possible in almost every game. Some with complicated exes and shit probably won't work? But most should be ok. >some games don't work
That's fair if you totally want to play them, I personally don't care if some games don't work, I have many that do (you can call it cope but I just don't feel the same itch I felt many years ago of wanting to play certain games). >other than that i would dump shitdows like in 0.001 sec.
That's the spirit, frick pedows
but i have. i installed basic b***h linux mint on my desktop. was worried about nvidia drivers and did actually have some bulshit problem (deus ex hr refused to even fricking launch, it got stuck on ‘installing directx’ on steam) i downgraded gpu driver to one version below and now all is good. since i only play 6th gen and under aside from the occasional newer game like dark souls 3 or elden ring which are supported on linux wine/proton anyway. performance is great too
I used W7 for ages but recently switched to W10 IoT LTSC. It works perfectly well and has no annoying bloat and ads. So I really don't see the need to switch to Linux which is surely going to be a pain in the ass.

I swear we get these threads every few days and they get told that Linux sucks and they forget their place. It should be a bannable offense to post Linux threads on Ganker.
It is a bannable offence, it's intentionally inciting a flamewar which is against the rules. Not like it makes a difference since Ganker is a cesspit for shitposting.
OP creating this dedicated OS shitposting thread isn't really analogous to that at all because you could just choose not to click on it.
Meanwhile, the Linux threads that just start with a discussion prompt for Linux gamers (e.g. https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/657892212), with absolutely no invitation to Windows babies, still get immediately flooded with angry Windows babies.
It's all shitposting. Both this thread and the one you linked.
There is zero reason to explicitly point out what OS you are using when gaming, especially not in the opening post - besides for the sake of inciting a flamewar, which is exactly what the OP wants when they make such a thread.
That's what the OP of this thread wanted, but the other one was just a normal thread about Linux gaming, a valid topic for discussion on a gaming board. It can't be both "there's no reason to mention the OS" and also "Linux gaming requires more tinkering" at the same time, you know. And it's the latter, even if Linux newbies will screech at me for saying so. People get help running games in those threads, between waves of butthurt spamming from Windows babies.

I switched over a decade ago and I don't want you asking people to switch. The kind of person that's easily swayed by anonymoose posters in an imageboard is also likely to be dumb and have poor literacy.
After using Windows and Linux and Mac, Windows is just the best there is. Linux has too much infighting. I don't give a shit about your specific distro, I just want a stable desktop os to play muh bibeo gaymz. >muh privacy

a nonissue >muh bsod
check your ram, drivers, and gpu, might be time to repaste. Linux would face issues too.
Windows just works. Linux is chasing headache after headache after headache. Mac acts like the issue doesnt exist by not supporting it. Using Linux feels like lopping off body parts and other people telling me I didn't need them anyway. No thank you.

That is kind of always the case, doesn't matter what you do.
Any time you mention a platform it encourages a flamewar. The OP of this thread absolutely wanted and expected that, but you could give benefit of the doubt about other Linux gaming threads. Regardless, if you make a PlayStation, Nintendo, or Xbox thread on Ganker you will get shitposts and consolewars in the replies. The same applies if you make a thread explicitly about Linux or Windows. In my opinion, it's better to make threads directly about a game or specific gaming peripheral, rather than make a thread about a platform - threads about computer operation systems specifically belong more on Ganker than Ganker anyway.
The elitism in these threads is a sure way to get people to switch. I've ran linux in the past and it didn't just werk, copying and pasting commands in a terminal doesn't make you a genius hacker, it's just a waste of time
Which is why the most commonly used GNU/Linux distros today are ChromeOS, and SteamOS. Distributions which greatly minimize or entirely eliminate the need to use a command line interface, and which most importantly are pre-installed on hardware designed to run them.
The fact that Microsoft has had to make command lines, including a Linux command line a major feature of modern Windows releases should tell you that it is an invaluable tool for a lot of advanced system management and software development tasks.
I got used to flatpaks, but here is an archive format aka .tar
Russian dude, the author of that torrent, typed this as (I think) an instruction:
Уcтaнoвкa
0. Уcтaнoвить зaвиcимocти Wine ecли нe ycтaнoвлeны. Пpoщe вceгo ycтaнoвить caм Wine из peпoзитopия, вмecтe c ним ycтaнoвятcя и зaвиcимocти.
1. Pacпaкoвaть apхив tar.
Кoд:
tar -xvf Death Stranding - Director's Cut.tar
2. Зaпycтить cкpипт sh в диpeктopии игpы:
Кoд:
./start.sh
looks like you just extract the tar and run the included script
you don't need the terminal to extract it, you should be able to open it with archive manager same as you would a zip or rar
if for whatever reason that doesn't work then do use that provided tar command
once it's extracted you run start.sh and presumably the game launches from there
I can't read russian, but the jist of what he is saying is
extract the tarball
make the start.sh script executable
then run start.sh

you wouldn't install it on windows either unless it's a repack bro, you're supposed to extract it. And where the frick did you get a pirate release in .tar?
Pretty sure he's saying to extract it and run the start.sh file. >tar -xvf
Meaning to
eXtract
Verbose print to console
and as a File
I can't read russian, but the jist of what he is saying is
extract the tarball
make the start.sh script executable
then run start.sh

They know using windows is pointless now, oh wait I forgot you can't play fortnite or cawadooty on linux! Everyone here loves those games, better keep the os that spies on you and forces troony flags onto your computer, there's no other choice...
The basics, they're afraid of change, of needing to learn something new.
Windows is a lot less dominant now than it was 10 or 20 years ago, and even if they weren't around back then they have a sense that it isn't the same as it was.
Today there is also a very real possibility that Microsoft will bow out of the consumer market in the foreseeable future with Xbox being spun out to a games as a service company, Windows for consumers being left to rot, and Microsoft corporate moving to only support their paying business customers.
>Windows is a lot less dominant now than it was 10 or 20 years ago,
Hell no. Windows will reign forever unless as long as the desktop/laptop come with Windows by default.
Desktops/Laptops went from being basically the only thing you could buy, to being outnumbered by devices running mainstream friendly UNIX based OSes.
Almost all of GNU/Linux's recent gains have come from OEMs selling laptops and gaming PCs with mainstream friendly distributions pre-installed.
Home desktop is becoming an unprofitable niche market. Microsoft could follow the example of so many other companies in the past, give up on the consumer market and go enterprise-only for OSes.
They don't need to provide you with an OS to pirate to play games you didn't pay for. As they've said, they'd be perfectly happy simply making you pay a subscription fee to play their games on other platforms.
I'd rather not jump through a ton of hoops to maybe run some of the more niche games I'm interested in. Like Windows fricking blows, but the alternatives aren't much better if 90% of what I do with my PC is gaming.
i think people go into the game with the wrong expectations primarily
it's 40k, but it's not a bolter porn game. there's no orks or space marines, and you're just a human dude fighting almost exclusively other human dudes. what it really is, under the surface, is a tighter version of EYE with a side of doom eternal, and if you know what's good in EYE then you'll be right at home.
it is however fair to complain that the game is riddled with technical problems. not as bad as EYE could get with shit like not getting the gate spells at the end of the campaign sometimes, but i did once get clipped out of the world and stuck in a death spiral, and the UI is really bad, especially in regards to weapon selection. performance is spotty in places (and that's not a linux thing, windows players and reviews corroborate this), the final map was particularly bad but i also had settings maxed and didn't bother turning anything down to see if it helped.
still, it's a really fun game and i regret not playing it sooner. the only thing it really leaves me wanting for is co-op, but having also played deathwing recently i can understand why they opted not to bother this time. the netcode in that game was fickle at best, nasty desyncs that pretty much rendered the game unplayable for minutes at a time.
yes, that EYE. same devs. necromunda is basically the sub-setting that EYE was a homebrew version of before they got to do real 40k games.
NTA, but you've sold me. I know what I'm playing this weekend.

Just tossing my worthless two cents in, I played Necromunda and came out the other side thinking the only good thing about it was the setpieces.
It's horribly buggy (I got softlocked on three separate occasions), it wants to be 2016 DOOM but ends up feeling like a cheapo copy, it's just kind of an all-around mess of a game that does nothing but environments particularly well

that's fair, it's not nearly as tight a game as doom 2016/eternal. but i feel it does evoke the same balls to the wall action that EYE could on high difficulty settings with a strong character, with relative improvements across the board. way less grinding, more effective enemies (without resorting to oneshots) with better variety, useless stuff trimmed and the good shit more readily available. you can pretty much start teleporting into dudes and sniping with 40-round drum mag shotguns out of the gate.

I spent a couple hundred hours playing EYE, I can deal with the Streum jank.
I think WINE is more like a box wine than anything bottled. Or maybe its like a 40 year old bottle of white wine, which the cork has fallen inside of and dissolved, turning the whole thing brown in the process. Either way its unpleasant.
I don't install games. All the games I play are pre-installed and kept in zip files on a thumb drive so I can swap them around between OS installs and computers. Then there's the itch io games which also don't have installers.
you put the exe file inside lutris, or steam. I think itch's client attempts to use system's wine when you try to run a windows game

wait, you mean THIS eye? https://store.steampowered.com/app/91700/EYE_Divine_Cybermancy/
I'd need a really good reason to because I'm lazy
And it comes with locking access to certain games (which yes, I know is the devs' fault but that doesn't change the fact that they are locked out)
Windows works, why fix what isn't broken?
You use an OS with a troony flag on it, oh you removed it? You had to spend your valuable time editing out the troony flag? I thought windows just werked though?
My main complain about linix is that it relies too much on the fricking command terminal. I don't like having to learn codes just to do simple tasks like decompression files, changing a wallpaper or downloading and installing things. Graphical interfaces exists for a reason, that's why evolved from Ms dos.
See, I've been told so many times that you have GUI now, but I've yet to not have to touch command line, or just have shit not be possible on multiple versions of Linux.
I'm glad Linux exists, and all. It's cool, but I want my shit to work. If we're adding difficult to the user experience for less functionality, I'm not happy. I keep getting told about all this "Bloat ware" that gets removed, but at the end of the day, my FPS on the most taxing programs I'm running, video games, is lower.
Just pirate it bro. That's what I do, I have no intention of giving someone as evil as Billy a dime.
I'm not sure I can grief be your supposed experience when every single thing you were actually specific about are things that don't require the terminal
I get that sometimes people say things that aren't true on the internet. I swear to you, I tried Arch, Ubuntu, and Mint. On all three of these I had to use their command line interface multiple times. If your just planning on watching videos on youtube, or shitposting on Ganker you can get away with never touching it on Ubuntu assuming you have the right kind of graphic card.
On all three of these, I had to use command line to get firestorm working. All three of these required some update for something to get my games from GOG to work. Getting emulators to work all required me to make a exe to run a command. Driver updates for new games? Command line. It's a nuisance. It hasn't been fixed, I doubt it'll be fixed because people like you pretend that it's not very common.
Don't pretend like you aren't looking up instructions anytime you want to get something new working. It's just not worth the trouble when I'm not getting any benefit.
>I have no intention of giving someone as evil as Billy a dime.
They monetize all their pirate users though.
Like, harder than normal users which is already a LOT.
Anon Ubuntu and mint come with graphical interfaces for installing drivers and packages in general, just because you clicked on the first guide you found which generalized instructions by giving you terminal commands didn't mean you had to fit those things. Arch expected you to configure the system yourself and read the wiki so no shit it's going to require using the terminal

Kid, you need a life lesson here. Computers are complicated, and have been around for a long time. You don't have the time to be checking multiple systems over decades, and every weird little program on every piece of hardware. If somebody tells you "I did this, and had to do this to get it working." Unless you did the same thing at around the same time, don't insult the guy, and say they were wrong, because you have no idea.
You're so wrong on this topic, that It's still the case that you have to run command line on Ubuntu to get this working on any hardware. PSX2 still requires you to use command line to get it running on Linux. Omikron The Nomad Soul if you want to use the GoG version, which is the only one that works properly on Linux at all, requires you to use command line. OpenRCT2 requires you to use command line still.
I could go on about the number of other programs I had to use command line to get working, and the weird little problems I had, but it'd be pointless. You don't know what you're talking about, and you're shilling this shit for nothing.
All of these distributions that I'm aware of work by having the developer of whatever you are trying to download personally opt to make some account with the distribution on their own little app store. Then figuring out how to make a installer for their particular version. Then you have to keep a button on your website that works with their little app store, hoping that doesn't break. Barely anybody bothers, it's to much trouble. Steam can't be fricked to keep a huge number of it's games working properly on windows, let alone however many linux distributions.
Huge amounts of stuff you just can't run at all on Linux, you'll never see Martian Gothic running on Linux. Nobody even has the capabilities to get it running on Linux as far as I'm aware. Many old games you're emulating windows to run.

And most software that's packages for x distribution is packages by distro maintainers, the developers aren't "opting to make an account with the distribution on their own little app store", there also isn't any need for any websites whatsoever.
Also, the big majority of emulators have native versions do you wouldn't even be running an "exe". The only exceptions I can think of are cxbox (but Xemu is better anyway), xenia (no alternative), and cemu (has a native version now but might not have had one when you used Linux). Mupen, zsnes,bsnes,nestopia,Melonds,desmume,mgba,citra,dosbox,scummvm,mame,duckstation,pcsx2,rpcs3,yuzu,ryujinx, whatever else that isn't instantly coming to mind all have native versions

See, this is the problem with Linux. I say "Dude I can't get the applications I want on any of these three." some smug jackass comes along, and goes. >Ah, but on this other distribution you can get one of them!
Why would I have five different partitions for four linux distributions that I have to switch between to run things, when I could just use windows?
The problem is that it's a fricking hassle, you don't get it, this is why Linux will never catch up. You stick your fingers in your ears, and ignore that people have to look up a guide to get shit running, and half the time the solution is to run a emulator for windows. unless the developers are still around to make it work on your particular version.

Linux is a Kit Car.

If Linux fails, it's because You messed up.
People want to get from A to B, and not learn to Drive.
I didn't "Mess up" by wanting to use a program without having to emulate a second operating system that I could just run natively, or wanting my car to be faster. You're not asking people to "Learn to drive" you're asking people to need to look up a instructional any time they want to take their car to a new destination. You never "Learn to drive" with Linux. Stop pretending like you're not looking shit up most of the time you want to install something.

Again, with a kit car, you eventually have a functioning car. You never have that with Linux. If by "Putting in the work" you mean "Having persistent slower user experience, for a product that's missing functionality, and regularly resorts to just running windows."

See, all of these little problems of this thing, and that thing not working on this version add up to a mess.
Throwing more power so you can emulate windows to emulate the PS2 is not a solution. Just skip the middleman, and run windows.

No, I literally linked it to you moron. You just said "Everything works lol" this is why your operating system is shit, and will remain shit. You pretend shit is working that isn't, and you don't have any idea about it working.
I believe most of the games he mentioned are available in myabandonware, I remember somebody trying old games from there thru bottles and plain wine and it just worked. Pic related.
See, I get that I could buy a beefier gpu and cpu to run a windows emulator on linux, but why would someone do that when they can more quickly just click the exe on windows, using less power.
If people could just own up to, admit, and learn from their mistakes, the world would be a more peaceful place.
It's not a "Mistake" to reject using a different operating system so I can run windows in it.

Yeah, that's the short version. If you are really into playing with command line, and are okay with worse performance, and things needing fixed all the time, use Linux.
So yeah, most casual users want stuff to work easily. Most hardcore users want things to work efficiently, and better functionality. Almost everyone wants lower costs. Threads over.

Huh? But my games library all work fine. I don't have your problems of little things here and there not working. I never had to do what you did, jumping around various distros to try them out. I simply picked up Nobara, installed it, and played games. Granted, your abandonware games will also have problems on modern windows e.g. you can't run age of mythology discs on windows 10 you need the redefinition version. This is also why I don't throw out my old computers, I love being able to play Bow and Arrow on old hardware.

then explain why i, just like all the others in the bug report, can reproduce it on real hardware, in vms, on fresh installs, and stop being a smug shitter. curiously you are ignoring all the other randonly picked bug reports i found in 10 minutes and no effort and was able to reproduce them all. you are why everyone hates linux users.
Shouldn't you be busy removing troony flags from your desktop? Black history month is coming up, I can't wait to see what cool things they'll put on your computer
Right? Works for me. I just play games and browse. I don't need my OS needing to do more or being more customizable. I don't give a shit because what I'm using works.
Linux is great for mini servers and iot stuff that you want to perform a task automatically without ever touching. Easy to get remote shit like ssh sftp and vnc setup.
But it sucks for everyday general purpose use. Its shocking just how shit the UI and all of the desktop options are. Barely improved in the last 10 years.
The community in general fricking sucks, makes me so glad i dont work on open source shit: >Plagued by presumptuous midwit wannabe politicians who assume everyones use case and protect them from themselves. "Nooo you're not allowed to run our app as root, noooo you're not allowed to just ignore security certificates your smart fridge could get hacked and stolen!!!" >Have to actually be a software dev to use half the shit because everyone has their own fricked up hot take on software morality. "So, like we don't believe in publishing our Linux build binaries because of past drama and nobody else is allowed to either.... If you want to use our shit you need to pull the souce from git, install 10Gb worth of build dependencies and spend the rest of the day fricking around with it." >Same dev will release a windows installer of the same software that just works. >Assuming you do go down the rabbit hole of trying to get the shit working on linux there will always be some unforeseen issue because your setup is slightly different from the devs. The build will fail because you have a newer version of a dependency, and the old one cant be pulled down because it clashes with other libraries on your system. So you'll be sitting there staring at your screen wondering whether you should format your whole system to match what the dev had or go in and build a custom version of the dependency merging the shit you need from each version. If you can do that you could literally just get a job doing it as a mid level software dev and make 100k+

Now post an infographic to get 3 to SA working properly under Windows.
Half of what's described in the picture is software you already have installed either way such as drivers or steam itself (lol).
Posting that only proves that you're a techlet, so my point still stands.
don't need one
3:
>Click Install
>Click play
VC:
>Click Install
>Click Play
SA:
>Click Install
>Click play
I said working properly, not half broken, homosexual.
>he thinks a working game is broken
>download and install San Andreas
>download and install current definitive mod or similiar
>click 'play'
oh wow so hard
>download and install GTA5
>copy paste some commands
>click "play"
Oh wow, so hard
my way is still quicker and I was replying to post about San Andreas, are you moronic?
Are you?
Same OP, played it a couple days ago, I didn't have to do any of that, just clicked install and played
>B-but you have it uninstalled! It seems it did 't work so I win!
The MP sucks and it uses 110GB, what did you expect?

I get 300+ fps with an old CPU but on Windows it was unplayable because of the HID bug
Nice pajeet bot generated guide
Yeah, and it's outdated as well.
You're on Ganker, you lose your time on vidya so you might as well
I modified GTA IV countless of times on Linux and Windows.
Also 60 degrees is perfectly fine, are you baiting or a moron? Also my GPU is OCed at 180/500 I'm on summer with 30 C° as well.
I did.
Frogposters are stupid so he probably saw the 93% GPU utilization and thought it was 93°C.
>I value my time
Me too. That's why I don't spend it using an OS that I don't enjoy using.
>b-b-but you have to tinker for 9000 hours to run a game???
Last time I had to do any extra work to get a game working, it was just a matter of renaming a file and running protontricks commands found on ProtonDB. The game in question also runs like ass on Windows anyway because it's a badly made port of a console game. The only reason I'd use Windows at this point is to play games that aren't possible to play on Linux, and... well, I'm sorry but, I just don't want to play Fortnite etc., and I never did, and I never will.
except modding on linux is a nightmare
it's a great secondary system and I'd use 80% of the time if I could switch between them in 1 second without buying a second PC
>except modding on linux is a nightmare
How so?
need wine for every mod manager, sometimes even specific patches
workshop mods seem to be okay but try modding fallout or cyberpunk and it's a whole week of wasted time easily
I mod fallout all the time, never played cyberpunk.
https://github.com/rockerbacon/modorganizer2-linux-installer
Anyways I'm not aware of native linux ports of cyberpunk or bethesda games so you will have to use wine to play them anyways, what's the problem with using your mod manager through wine?
Stop acting oblivious, you would NEVER have to do that on a proper system.
If deleting a folder is too much for you I don't know why you aren't playing games on consoles
this bait is too low level for so called linux users
you're either a poser or just failing at trolling which is pretty embarrassing at this point
Don't worry, zoomie, the file manager won't bite
The top part is instructions on how to change your proton version in steam, that has nothing to do with modding. The second part you shouldn't do, if you want to install MO2 for a non-Steam game you would install it using Lutris after installing the game using the windows binary here:
https://github.com/ModOrganizer2/modorganizer/releases/tag/v2.4.4
Are you familiar with using Lutris for non-Steam games?

He typed out without a shred of self awareness after entering a thread about a subject he didn't care about on Ganker - Video Games
They care a lot though.
These people are unironically upset about other people not using Windows.
Why? I don't know. Same reason Xbox console owners get mad at total strangers using PlayStation consoles, I guess. I don't understand it. I have to assume it's some kind of autism.
Well yeah, obviously they care. It's just funny watching a horde of dumbfricks posting that self own every single thread.
You play video games
exactly, Linux has no games
Move the goalposts.
I'm starting off easy so that you can move the goalposts multiple times because that will make you look even more silly.
Let's start off with "heh, it can only run Doom".
are there any worthwhile doomclones using id engine? besides the well known ones like heretic and hexen
Not really a doomclone since it's just dm but I like Megaman 8-bit Deathmatch a lot
Sounds more fun than debugging video game errors
>he says while posting on nu-/v/
You realize this is the exact argument that console kiddies use to excuse not getting a PC
>those temps
lmfaooooooo I dont even want to THINK about modding either (which is absolutely essential for a game like GTA IV)
dont worry guys main linux gaming pc by 2024

> modding which is absolutely essential
what gta 4 mods should I get?

They probably don't even know of any, the current thing windows shills are doing is pretending you can't mod games on linux, they will never ask how to mod games they will just pretend you can't.
the performance mod
>60c is bad
What an actual moron you are
>sees big red number
>assumes its temp
Brainlet.
Also semi-passive cooling is in, by default on both windows and linux fans don't kick in until 60C for GPUs. You could be playing old games and it wouldn't even cause the fans to spin up.
Compared to running GTA IV at 12 fps on winblows? It's unplayable without DXVK
incel moment
>linux gamers have reached 2008
Last time I saw a Linux thread it was "Linux can't run old games" and now it's "Linux can only run old games"?
Make up your minds.
what's impressive is that he's running it at 200FPS. It's almost impossible to get anything above 120 and you'll still have crazy drops in crowded areas even with a high end GPU.
you need to cap fps in gta4 because it shits the bed when you get more than, say 60-75fps. I launched it and it initially had 4 digits fps. game was "running" switching between everything happening at 3x speed or 0.25x speed and everything flashing, rerendering and other crazy shit.
He is that guy that upload videos of gta4 cars at 999999 speed
?si=K7G3Xs_NkvVA5SPg
This is exactly what was happening to mine in uncapped fps kek
There's a patch called Fusion which fixes most FPS issues (and a shitload of other issues with the port).
It boils down to:
1) Windows just werks
2) Linux doesn't werk
3) The Linux community are elitist buttholes
>Windows just werks
If all you need from a PC is to randomly delete all your files, it's the best!

>computer wants to do something harmful
Doesn't happen on Windows or Mac.
Meanwhile, on Linux (good distro) (same YouTube video, even):
>scrolls down past the steam install command
>green text is visible, meaning he entered another command after installing steam
disingenuous
>OS says steam needs xyz package as a dependency
>type command to install xyz
The only disingenuous one is you pretending linux isn't shit
>OS says steam needs xyz package as a dependency
>The dependency is resolved automatically

There is literally no green text while he's scrolling, that's just the video compression

Hi anon. I'm anon, a Ganker specialist, 10 years paid Ganker pass and volunteer janny, here to help you.
People who are too stupid to back up their data deserve to lose it.
I’ve been using Windows since Windows 95, never had that happen.
This. Linux gays beg for people to use Linux but the minute they get any questions or complaints they turn tail and are complete fricktards.
Artist?
cute tummy
It's always funny how linuxtards get ultra defensive whenever you mention how inconvenient it is to use. Every single time, without exception.
>3) The Linux community are elitist buttholes
This, it's not the only reason but a pretty sizeable chunk of why I don't want to associate with Linux is that a former friend got into it and would not shut the frick up about it like he transcended this mortal plane or something.
Ironically he fell out of the friend group because we were all playing multiplayer games at the time that he couldn't on Linux because of anticheat lmao
>*guy doesn't want to play fortnite anymore*
>You are now my "former" friend, linuxchud!
Wow, what an butthole that guy was
It's not that he didn't want to play, it was that he couldn't.
And it's not like we kicked him out of our friend group, we just tended to hang around and talk mostly when we play vidya, and since he couldn't play he didn't bother joining the VC.
He was still welcome to come and talk.
Last I heard he became a dedicated furry discord moderator lmao
>Linuxgay is a furdiaper troony discord mod
Linuxbros...
So he wanted to play and none of you would find another game to play with him? That elitist scumbag
We still played other games on occasion and he would join, but we tend to get obsessed with one or two games for months at a time and mostly gather to play those.
That's not the elitist part, the elitist part is him talking up linux to high heavens while making snide remarks about people who use other operating systems. There came a point where he would start and someone would basically say "ok buddy, we get it" like clockwork
>someone was severely autistic so I'm mad at an operating system
Linux didn't make him that way. If he didn't choose to obsess over Linux then it would have been something else.
>It's not that he didn't want to play, it was that he couldn't.
But he could have, by using Windows. At most, he wanted to play the game less than he wanted to use Linux. "Linux users can't _______" is always a dumb take. Most Linux users dual boot, and even your turbo autist friend was making a choice.
Nonono
1) Windows doesn't werk
2) Linux doesn't work
3) Nvidia can go frick themselves
Don't like using commands lines, simple as.
>telling the computer exactly what to do? NOOOOooooo I want it to guess what I want and if it guesses wrong then I want to go frick myself
I don't want to tell my computer what to do in the same way I don't want to manually make my heart beat, yes.
You do make your heart manually beat it. You're your entire body, you're entire systems. It's all you.
I don't control my pacemaker cells, they work whether I want them to or not
If you're going to be this pedantic then you're going to have to acknowledge that the word "manually" literally means "by hand" and his hands are not involved in his heart function.

>linux have the worst type of autistic trannies
The kind that force their flags onto your computer? No, that never happened on Linux.
Just dual boot holy shit. Not hard.
But why would I ever boot up nix then?
Linux for me has faster download speeds and runs all my games out of the box or with some tweaking. I only go on windows for certain cases if I need to run a game there thag I just straight up can’t on Linux.
>Just dual boot holy shit. Not hard.
Windows likes to eat grub once in a while
I prefer having a VM.
Sadly I don't have a secondary GPU
>two separate SSDs

>Windows likes to eat grub once in a while
More like
>GRUB corrupts windows bootloader because freetard drivers and bootloaders suck ass
>Windows sees its bootloader is damaged and repairs it, inadvertently overwriting GRUB
Chainload Windows bootloader into GRUB, not the other way around and you will not have this issue
I did. Then, after a few months, I never touched the Windows partition again.
But it's a good safety net for those who get filtered or had no good reason to be trying Linux in the first place.
This.
My windows boot is my safety net. Haven't had to use it yet and it's been a year since.
Already did several years ago. Windowsgays can keep taking the microdick up the ass if they want to, not my problem.
I still have not accepted the fact that I will remain virgin forever
Because me and my fellow transsisters don't get validated in Linux.
Nice frametimes.

stutters are worse than lower FPS.
Game is terrible with frametimes, doesn't matter the OS. Well, the port is terrible, period.
It is a miracle it runs as stable as it does here.

Arguing that GIMP can replace PS in certain circunstances is reasonable, but MS Paint? You're silly.
Case in point
Linux is objectively an awful choice for music production, and since that's what I spend 60% of my time doing on my PC, I'll have to stick with Windows.
>Windows
>Not MacOS
Nice bait
MacOS doesn't support VSTs (officially), the vast majority of music tools are Windows. That said, Logic is a decent DAW if you already use a Mac as your main computer.
Fair, I think so too.
I tried ardour and it was pretty confusing. You don't have the VST Ableton and FL has either.
Ableton works but VSTs and plug ins are a pain.
Reaper is good but yeah you'll struggle getting most plugins to work at all on Linux, and the ones you'll get working come with a caveat such as worse latency, that shit doesn't fly when making music. There's a reason very, very few producers bother with Linux at all.
It's awful for anything productive.
Leave it as the server software it was meant for.
>server software
>not productive
Whatever you're trying to imply, those servers are more productive than you could ever be even when they're idling lol
LMMS?
Have you used it?
It's terrible. At least suggest something reasonable, like Ardour or Reaper.
Works just fine for me, but I record rather than synthesize.
How come Metro Enhanced RT works but not CP2077?

Is it ok to use mangohud in online games?
100% never bannable, it doesn't inject code into the dlls.
It is trully a bummer.
Of course this isn't a "Linux problem", if fruity loops and/or Ableton tried to support the platform it wouldn't be an issue.
Same for adobe and such.
I think the broader problem is ~~*(steinberg*~~) isn't interested in Linux, so no VST support in general for it.
Always the israelites isn't it?
I don't have it I think, point was a game that always ran like shit getting 150-250fps on an OS it wasn't designed for.

True. This thread belongs on Ganker
>seething
Not everyone exclusively uses their PC for gaming. For example, I could not use the music production tools I do on Linux, so why would I consider switching?
I don't get the point of these threads, this is much more of a Ganker topic than it is Ganker related.

This is a Linux thread.
If it were a Windows thread or a MacOS thread, it would still belong on Ganker
Barely any replies have anything to do with video games, and that's exactly what the OP wanted: an OS war.
Granted people are being tards right now and desperately trying console wars shit but there's a gaming reply literally two posts above mine.
Not him but OP is indeed a shit. This board has had some good Linux gaming threads, and none of them ever started with a question directed at Windows users.
Linux gaming is still gaming though, and most of the discussion (garbage though it may be) is still in the context of gaming (except for cope like
).

Why I'm not using linux is simple . unsupported drivers. my soundcard doesn't have have linux drivers. I kinda want sound. And the display drivers fricked up my colors and picture quality.
My USB 3.0 drivers actually worked this time so progress there. I went back to windows after like two days. Bad drivers are non starter, I'm not going to put up with an OS that doesn't work my stuff.
I sure love spending five hours to figure out why the subtitles drift in my videoplayer or half a day on why some frames get pixelated
There's a scary amount of PC games that run flawlessly on a default Wine configuration but require downloading hundreds of fan fixes from russian dark web just to get to the main menu before crashing on Windows.
Name one.
No. Just about every game that didn't get a proper re-release on GOG or Steam does not run properly on modern Windows.
Oh so we're debating a specific version of an OS now? Hmmm.. let me pick any distro that doesn't play the game you didn't mention.
>but the game works on Windows Vista
lol
Anyway, go ahead and name a game and a distro that doesn't run it. You probably can't. And if you can, it's probably some badly made native game that demands Ubuntu 14 or some shit, and the Windows version of that game probably works with Proton on every distro.
NTA
I can mention a game that never worked on any of the two: NFS Carbon. Frick that stupid port, I tried it on Linux thinking it could work but it did the SAME fricking thing that on Windows, black screen and die.
I guess it was a hardware thing?
One that had a hard time running on Windows was Max Payne 1 and 2. Here it runs flawlessly, on Windows 10 it crashes many times for months.
I'm literally answering without seething.
I love Linux and wanted to have a healthy thread, but morons derail it every time.
>a game that never worked on any of the two: NFS Carbon
Just werks for me on Linux with normal Wine + DXVK. I played through it a couple of months ago with zero issues. But it should also work fine on Windows.
If you have a legit copy then you need to crack it, because SafeDisc doesn't work at all on modern Windows and Wine support for it is probably spotty as well.

Whats the best linux distro for pc gaming?
arch has every piece of software you could want and has the latest packages, usually.
there are other options but mine was arch for 2 years and I don't regret a thing.
Use the archinstall command if you don't want to install it the hard way.
Don't listen to him. If you want Arch but without the hassle just use EndeavourOS. Nobara also has a bunch of gaming related kernel tweaks and patches out of the box.
Archinstall has stock DE options for newbies, what's so hassle about it?
I must admit, Endeavour is a good option as well, though.
EOS is generally just easier since its an installer and not an install script. And honestly part of the charm of Arch is learning how Linux works through its manual install.
I'm just glad that EOS replaced Manjaro as the easy mode Arch.
I'm gonna say it, but people whining about manjaro are dumb.
>But their packages being a month out of date might make a bug report inaccurate for something on the AUR
Don't care
Its not just that. They have been caught not updating security certificates and for straight up breaking the AUR.
Holding back packages is dumb, especially given if you install shit from the AUR (the main reason to use Arch).
>(the main reason to use Arch).
Pretty sure the main reason to use Arch is fresher packages than stable without compiling everything.
Dual-booting is still broken with archinstall.
literally just pick any well supported arch/debian based one and you'll be fine
linux "distros" often essentially boil down to different desktop environments and package managers with different logos

Not even antialiasing
GTAIV didn't have AA outside of its blur filter.
I had it on 50 but it doesn't change all that much.
Here is at 100, I keep night shadows off and both sliders on 25 as it is recommended.
Before screenshot it was at 230-250
Many cars and broker being really demanding but it's still at the same frames.
why don't you cap the frames anyway?
I was testing GTA IV on a new CPU, it wouln't make sense to do that.
I have it locked at 300fps on every game using GOverlay which is like a GUI for mangohud.
>i want use dlss framegeneration
Why? It is on 5 games and it runs like shit on 3, it is a way to FOMO so you upgrade every 2 years.
>modded games
It is possible in almost every game. Some with complicated exes and shit probably won't work? But most should be ok.
>some games don't work
That's fair if you totally want to play them, I personally don't care if some games don't work, I have many that do (you can call it cope but I just don't feel the same itch I felt many years ago of wanting to play certain games).
>other than that i would dump shitdows like in 0.001 sec.
That's the spirit, frick pedows
>I was testing GTA IV on a new CPU
what CPU?
Ryzen 5 5600
I didn't remember GTA IV had this horrible antialiasing
You are mistaking horrible antialiasing with NO antialising at all.
Gta IV has a terrible, bottom tier port.
but i have. i installed basic b***h linux mint on my desktop. was worried about nvidia drivers and did actually have some bulshit problem (deus ex hr refused to even fricking launch, it got stuck on ‘installing directx’ on steam) i downgraded gpu driver to one version below and now all is good. since i only play 6th gen and under aside from the occasional newer game like dark souls 3 or elden ring which are supported on linux wine/proton anyway. performance is great too
I used W7 for ages but recently switched to W10 IoT LTSC. It works perfectly well and has no annoying bloat and ads. So I really don't see the need to switch to Linux which is surely going to be a pain in the ass.
>GPU 93%
>201 fps

yeah why don't I just sit down and code my own operating system from scratch while I'm at it, just so I can play GTA IV on it

I swear we get these threads every few days and they get told that Linux sucks and they forget their place. It should be a bannable offense to post Linux threads on Ganker.
It is a bannable offence, it's intentionally inciting a flamewar which is against the rules. Not like it makes a difference since Ganker is a cesspit for shitposting.

OP creating this dedicated OS shitposting thread isn't really analogous to that at all because you could just choose not to click on it.
Meanwhile, the Linux threads that just start with a discussion prompt for Linux gamers (e.g. https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/657892212), with absolutely no invitation to Windows babies, still get immediately flooded with angry Windows babies.
It's all shitposting. Both this thread and the one you linked.
There is zero reason to explicitly point out what OS you are using when gaming, especially not in the opening post - besides for the sake of inciting a flamewar, which is exactly what the OP wants when they make such a thread.
That's what the OP of this thread wanted, but the other one was just a normal thread about Linux gaming, a valid topic for discussion on a gaming board. It can't be both "there's no reason to mention the OS" and also "Linux gaming requires more tinkering" at the same time, you know. And it's the latter, even if Linux newbies will screech at me for saying so. People get help running games in those threads, between waves of butthurt spamming from Windows babies.
>but the other one was just a normal thread about Linux gaming
You are fooling nobody.
>n-no, you see, Linux gamers discussing Linux gaming with other Linux gamers is... a personal attack! on me!
take your meds.
The entire thread was shitposts and anons troubleshooting, with the odd singular post of what an anon was playing with zero replies. Nobody was discussing games in that thread is my point, it was Ganker-tier troubleshooting mixed with Ganker-tier "quality" shitposting. You would genuinely be better off making a Linux gaming on Ganker rather than here.
troubleshooting is fine as long as it's about videogames, however. shitposting is a waste of time where nobody gains anything
Thing is, there's a general on /vg/ for Linux gaming that (as far as /vg/ goes) is reasonably on-topic with FAR less shitposting than Ganker, so the only reason anyone would make a Linux thread on Ganker instead is if they want the shitposts spat back at them.
Ganker linux threads precede /vg/ ones
>Ganker: "go to Ganker"
>Ganker: "go to Ganker"
Funny how
is the only place to have a Linux gaming thread without "oh nooo, I entered this thread about a topic I don't like, how could this happen to me??" dipshits trying to get the discussion banished to another board. I always thought /vg/ was only for anime crap, but it turns out the people who like one topic just stick to their own thread instead of trying to ruin the other ones.
You'd have a point were it not for the OP literally asking non-Linux users to reply.
I do have a point, because the same "go to Ganker" shit gets posted even when OP doesn't invite Windows babies to share their stupid thoughts.
https://arch.b4k.co/v/thread/655606674/#655655703
You're on Ganker, platformwar central. If you can't deal with that, use the general.
So first I don't have a point and now you're agreeing? Okay.
No, I said you'd have a point were it not for the OP of this thread. Ergo, you have a point in relation to other threads, just not this one. Is that clear enough for you now?
My point was never about just this thread. You can stop the mental gymnastics if all you're going to do is agree with my point about /vg/ being the only place to discuss Linux gaming without interference from butthurt children.
This is Ganker, what do you expect my guy, be thankful you have a place at all where you can discuss it with minimal shitposting. Don't take that for granted, and don't go crying about how shit Ganker is as if everyone isn't already well aware.
>This is Ganker, what do you expect
I expect what I already wrote about it. Are you done agree-fighting with me?
>You're right, you dumb ass!!
If you think we're "fighting" then you have spent too much time on here today, this has been nothing but a civil discussion as far as I see it.
>That's what the OP of this thread wanted
I don't see how asking why they haven't switched to linux incites a flamewar.
I wanted to make a Linux thread to be quite honest, you see my comments and I don't even throw a tantrum like many do.
At the very least, I didn't expect it to be.
>I don't see how asking why they haven't switched to Xbox incites a flamewar
it's inviting people who love to hate things (Ganker in general), even if they haven't used the thing in question (Ganker in general) to vent, it's always going to end as a shitshow
Windows users are cattle, linux users are vegans.
But who are the predators?
I do, BUT:
i want limit my global fps
i want use dlss framegeneration and all nvidia shit in my modded games where i probably cant run modded gaems
some games, like bdo and few other simply doesn't werk
other than that i would dump shitdows like in 0.001 sec.
right now im using both
>Limit global fps
just undervolt
>Nvidia features and modding
Don't have an issue with Proton and Steamtinkerlaunch solves all my modding issues
>Some games don't work
fair enough
>i want limit my global fps
mangohud has a frame limiter
>dlss frame gen
wait for nvidia to implement it or pester them to open source rest of their drivers and userspace libraries :^)
I switched over a decade ago and I don't want you asking people to switch. The kind of person that's easily swayed by anonymoose posters in an imageboard is also likely to be dumb and have poor literacy.
After using Windows and Linux and Mac, Windows is just the best there is. Linux has too much infighting. I don't give a shit about your specific distro, I just want a stable desktop os to play muh bibeo gaymz.
>muh privacy
got nothing to hide
>muh updoots
a nonissue
>muh bsod
check your ram, drivers, and gpu, might be time to repaste. Linux would face issues too.
Windows just works. Linux is chasing headache after headache after headache. Mac acts like the issue doesnt exist by not supporting it. Using Linux feels like lopping off body parts and other people telling me I didn't need them anyway. No thank you.
Prime bait, guaranteed replies.

Correct, the alternatives are sufficient enough for personal use.
If I need adobeshit for work, then work will have to supply me with a laptop made for said work.
this is bait
but it's true
so even if you posted it as bait
you posted truth
I didnt post it as bait, I posted it because it is a hard pill to swallow for Gankertards. go back to your containment board. Linux is hot smelly garbage with a side of vomit.
how many hours have you spent in this thread about things you don't like? because that wasn't your first post either
10 minutes, I am about to go take a hot bath. it was my first post. sorry chud, linux is shit and anyone who tries it generally has the same ick response. get the frick over it, nobody likes Linux because it is nothing but a nightmare for tinkertrannies and autistic piles of shit like you enjoy. Now go the frick back to >>>Ganker where you belong. You will never be a woman.
>it was my first post
Why even bother pretending? Unless you're going to claim that your dog shitposts on linux threads and that's why it wasn't your first post here. And I don't use Ganker, it's a complete shithole.
I am posting from a university, might be that a lot of people hate Linux you stupid homosexual.

It's a fair point but no matter what you post about linux, there is always heat about it.
I see it every day on Ganker or Ganker.
Meant for
That is kind of always the case, doesn't matter what you do.
I can't talk for other people, but when I see an OP inviting morons I'm less likely to participate in it because I already know the ultimate outcome. Can't remind people to ignore the shitposters either because the op is literally asking them to come
Any time you mention a platform it encourages a flamewar. The OP of this thread absolutely wanted and expected that, but you could give benefit of the doubt about other Linux gaming threads. Regardless, if you make a PlayStation, Nintendo, or Xbox thread on Ganker you will get shitposts and consolewars in the replies. The same applies if you make a thread explicitly about Linux or Windows. In my opinion, it's better to make threads directly about a game or specific gaming peripheral, rather than make a thread about a platform - threads about computer operation systems specifically belong more on Ganker than Ganker anyway.
Obligatory.
gaming is for trannies
grow up
You're on Ganker dumb Black person.
But yes, if it wasn't for games or software compatibility, I'd be on Linux.
Have there been no normal non-shit threads recently or have I just missed them?
I already switched to Linux. I just don't pester others to make the same mistake.
The elitism in these threads is a sure way to get people to switch. I've ran linux in the past and it didn't just werk, copying and pasting commands in a terminal doesn't make you a genius hacker, it's just a waste of time
Which is why the most commonly used GNU/Linux distros today are ChromeOS, and SteamOS. Distributions which greatly minimize or entirely eliminate the need to use a command line interface, and which most importantly are pre-installed on hardware designed to run them.
The fact that Microsoft has had to make command lines, including a Linux command line a major feature of modern Windows releases should tell you that it is an invaluable tool for a lot of advanced system management and software development tasks.
Ok, I've downloaded it.
How can I install it now?
I'm new on Mint, a lot of things about Linux is still blank for me.
Linuxbros will never tell you this, but installing things isn't ever as easy as exes on Windows
I got used to flatpaks, but here is an archive format aka .tar
Russian dude, the author of that torrent, typed this as (I think) an instruction:
Уcтaнoвкa
0. Уcтaнoвить зaвиcимocти Wine ecли нe ycтaнoвлeны. Пpoщe вceгo ycтaнoвить caм Wine из peпoзитopия, вмecтe c ним ycтaнoвятcя и зaвиcимocти.
1. Pacпaкoвaть apхив tar.
Кoд:
tar -xvf Death Stranding - Director's Cut.tar
2. Зaпycтить cкpипт sh в диpeктopии игpы:
Кoд:
./start.sh
aaaand I have no idea what to do.
Pretty sure he's saying to extract it and run the start.sh file.
>tar -xvf
Meaning to
eXtract
Verbose print to console
and as a File
too nerdy; didn't read:
Get Death Stranding out of the Tar, Make it a file, and tell you what it did.
looks like you just extract the tar and run the included script
you don't need the terminal to extract it, you should be able to open it with archive manager same as you would a zip or rar
if for whatever reason that doesn't work then do use that provided tar command
once it's extracted you run start.sh and presumably the game launches from there
I can't read russian, but the jist of what he is saying is
extract the tarball
make the start.sh script executable
then run start.sh
However, I should warn you against running any weird shell scripts from unknown people, especially Russians. You're just asking for a compromised system if you run that.
Also this is good security advice.
you wouldn't install it on windows either unless it's a repack bro, you're supposed to extract it. And where the frick did you get a pirate release in .tar?
Rutracker.
Thanks, bros.
I hope everything ends well.
You should probably read the .sh file to make sure it isn't doing anything weird, or post it here.

What's with the uptick in desperate FUD posting by wincels?
they're afraid of OLED Steam Deck
They know using windows is pointless now, oh wait I forgot you can't play fortnite or cawadooty on linux! Everyone here loves those games, better keep the os that spies on you and forces troony flags onto your computer, there's no other choice...
The basics, they're afraid of change, of needing to learn something new.
Windows is a lot less dominant now than it was 10 or 20 years ago, and even if they weren't around back then they have a sense that it isn't the same as it was.
Today there is also a very real possibility that Microsoft will bow out of the consumer market in the foreseeable future with Xbox being spun out to a games as a service company, Windows for consumers being left to rot, and Microsoft corporate moving to only support their paying business customers.
>Windows is a lot less dominant now than it was 10 or 20 years ago,
Hell no. Windows will reign forever unless as long as the desktop/laptop come with Windows by default.
Desktops/Laptops went from being basically the only thing you could buy, to being outnumbered by devices running mainstream friendly UNIX based OSes.
Almost all of GNU/Linux's recent gains have come from OEMs selling laptops and gaming PCs with mainstream friendly distributions pre-installed.
Home desktop is becoming an unprofitable niche market. Microsoft could follow the example of so many other companies in the past, give up on the consumer market and go enterprise-only for OSes.
They don't need to provide you with an OS to pirate to play games you didn't pay for. As they've said, they'd be perfectly happy simply making you pay a subscription fee to play their games on other platforms.
>Almost all of GNU/Linux's recent gains have come from OEMs selling laptops and gaming PCs with mainstream friendly distributions pre-installed.
lol
I'd rather not jump through a ton of hoops to maybe run some of the more niche games I'm interested in. Like Windows fricking blows, but the alternatives aren't much better if 90% of what I do with my PC is gaming.
did it forget to render the traffic?
gaming
on linux
is this bulletstorm
necromunda
do you agree with its mixed score or what di they frick up to make people mad
i think people go into the game with the wrong expectations primarily
it's 40k, but it's not a bolter porn game. there's no orks or space marines, and you're just a human dude fighting almost exclusively other human dudes. what it really is, under the surface, is a tighter version of EYE with a side of doom eternal, and if you know what's good in EYE then you'll be right at home.
it is however fair to complain that the game is riddled with technical problems. not as bad as EYE could get with shit like not getting the gate spells at the end of the campaign sometimes, but i did once get clipped out of the world and stuck in a death spiral, and the UI is really bad, especially in regards to weapon selection. performance is spotty in places (and that's not a linux thing, windows players and reviews corroborate this), the final map was particularly bad but i also had settings maxed and didn't bother turning anything down to see if it helped.
still, it's a really fun game and i regret not playing it sooner. the only thing it really leaves me wanting for is co-op, but having also played deathwing recently i can understand why they opted not to bother this time. the netcode in that game was fickle at best, nasty desyncs that pretty much rendered the game unplayable for minutes at a time.
NTA, but you've sold me. I know what I'm playing this weekend.
Just tossing my worthless two cents in, I played Necromunda and came out the other side thinking the only good thing about it was the setpieces.
It's horribly buggy (I got softlocked on three separate occasions), it wants to be 2016 DOOM but ends up feeling like a cheapo copy, it's just kind of an all-around mess of a game that does nothing but environments particularly well
that's fair, it's not nearly as tight a game as doom 2016/eternal. but i feel it does evoke the same balls to the wall action that EYE could on high difficulty settings with a strong character, with relative improvements across the board. way less grinding, more effective enemies (without resorting to oneshots) with better variety, useless stuff trimmed and the good shit more readily available. you can pretty much start teleporting into dudes and sniping with 40-round drum mag shotguns out of the gate.
I spent a couple hundred hours playing EYE, I can deal with the Streum jank.
>Linux
What kind of moron plays gta4 above 60fps it breaks the physics
I couldn't figure out how to get wine working.
You need a corkscrew
I think WINE is more like a box wine than anything bottled. Or maybe its like a 40 year old bottle of white wine, which the cork has fallen inside of and dissolved, turning the whole thing brown in the process. Either way its unpleasant.
wine game.exe
>Install Lutris
>Install all the Wine packages
>Install games
>Launch the game through Proton
So hard...
I don't install games. All the games I play are pre-installed and kept in zip files on a thumb drive so I can swap them around between OS installs and computers. Then there's the itch io games which also don't have installers.
Click on the exe then
you put the exe file inside lutris, or steam. I think itch's client attempts to use system's wine when you try to run a windows game
wait, you mean THIS eye? https://store.steampowered.com/app/91700/EYE_Divine_Cybermancy/
yes, that EYE. same devs. necromunda is basically the sub-setting that EYE was a homebrew version of before they got to do real 40k games.
It makes no different, just point the installation file to the .exe then.
I'd need a really good reason to because I'm lazy
And it comes with locking access to certain games (which yes, I know is the devs' fault but that doesn't change the fact that they are locked out)
Windows works, why fix what isn't broken?
i hate windows is all, terrible user experience
most games i play are on consoles anyway and shit like dota works immaculately on debian
I fricking wish I didn't switch back to linux tonight
frick you c**ts
>he fell for the meme
lmao enjoy using the terminal for every single little thing
okay tomorrow ill install the first linux that gets recommended to me. ill try it a week and then probably go back to winblows.
You use an OS with a troony flag on it, oh you removed it? You had to spend your valuable time editing out the troony flag? I thought windows just werked though?
My main complain about linix is that it relies too much on the fricking command terminal. I don't like having to learn codes just to do simple tasks like decompression files, changing a wallpaper or downloading and installing things. Graphical interfaces exists for a reason, that's why evolved from Ms dos.
????
See, I've been told so many times that you have GUI now, but I've yet to not have to touch command line, or just have shit not be possible on multiple versions of Linux.
I'm glad Linux exists, and all. It's cool, but I want my shit to work. If we're adding difficult to the user experience for less functionality, I'm not happy. I keep getting told about all this "Bloat ware" that gets removed, but at the end of the day, my FPS on the most taxing programs I'm running, video games, is lower.
Understandable, but my hatred toward Pajeetsoft for taking away Windows 7 drives me to learn Linux.
Frick them.
Just pirate it bro. That's what I do, I have no intention of giving someone as evil as Billy a dime.
I get that sometimes people say things that aren't true on the internet. I swear to you, I tried Arch, Ubuntu, and Mint. On all three of these I had to use their command line interface multiple times. If your just planning on watching videos on youtube, or shitposting on Ganker you can get away with never touching it on Ubuntu assuming you have the right kind of graphic card.
On all three of these, I had to use command line to get firestorm working. All three of these required some update for something to get my games from GOG to work. Getting emulators to work all required me to make a exe to run a command. Driver updates for new games? Command line. It's a nuisance. It hasn't been fixed, I doubt it'll be fixed because people like you pretend that it's not very common.
Don't pretend like you aren't looking up instructions anytime you want to get something new working. It's just not worth the trouble when I'm not getting any benefit.
>I have no intention of giving someone as evil as Billy a dime.
They monetize all their pirate users though.
Like, harder than normal users which is already a LOT.
Anon Ubuntu and mint come with graphical interfaces for installing drivers and packages in general, just because you clicked on the first guide you found which generalized instructions by giving you terminal commands didn't mean you had to fit those things. Arch expected you to configure the system yourself and read the wiki so no shit it's going to require using the terminal
Kid, you need a life lesson here. Computers are complicated, and have been around for a long time. You don't have the time to be checking multiple systems over decades, and every weird little program on every piece of hardware. If somebody tells you "I did this, and had to do this to get it working." Unless you did the same thing at around the same time, don't insult the guy, and say they were wrong, because you have no idea.
You're so wrong on this topic, that It's still the case that you have to run command line on Ubuntu to get this working on any hardware. PSX2 still requires you to use command line to get it running on Linux. Omikron The Nomad Soul if you want to use the GoG version, which is the only one that works properly on Linux at all, requires you to use command line. OpenRCT2 requires you to use command line still.
I could go on about the number of other programs I had to use command line to get working, and the weird little problems I had, but it'd be pointless. You don't know what you're talking about, and you're shilling this shit for nothing.
All of these distributions that I'm aware of work by having the developer of whatever you are trying to download personally opt to make some account with the distribution on their own little app store. Then figuring out how to make a installer for their particular version. Then you have to keep a button on your website that works with their little app store, hoping that doesn't break. Barely anybody bothers, it's to much trouble. Steam can't be fricked to keep a huge number of it's games working properly on windows, let alone however many linux distributions.
Huge amounts of stuff you just can't run at all on Linux, you'll never see Martian Gothic running on Linux. Nobody even has the capabilities to get it running on Linux as far as I'm aware. Many old games you're emulating windows to run.
>Omikron, openrct2
Not emulators, and openrct2 doesn't require the terminal
>Pcsx2
Doesn't require the terminal.
I used them both.
And most software that's packages for x distribution is packages by distro maintainers, the developers aren't "opting to make an account with the distribution on their own little app store", there also isn't any need for any websites whatsoever.
This is bait, I know it.
Also, the big majority of emulators have native versions do you wouldn't even be running an "exe". The only exceptions I can think of are cxbox (but Xemu is better anyway), xenia (no alternative), and cemu (has a native version now but might not have had one when you used Linux). Mupen, zsnes,bsnes,nestopia,Melonds,desmume,mgba,citra,dosbox,scummvm,mame,duckstation,pcsx2,rpcs3,yuzu,ryujinx, whatever else that isn't instantly coming to mind all have native versions
https://openrct2.org/quickstart/install/linux
https://github.com/PCSX2/pcsx2/wiki/Installing-on-Linux/d029dc1d29c94be3b991507069cf9ee1e82f589a#ubuntu-ppa
You didn't spend five seconds looking this up? Are you pretending to be a moron for laughs?
Openrct2 and pcsx2 are both available in the Mint Software Manager GUI
>openrct2
???? + ?
They're both in the Ubuntu repositories, pcsx2 is in the universe repository which you can enable without using the terminal https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-enable-universe-repository-in-ubuntu/ or you can go the "windows way" and just download the appimage in their website and double click it, again no terminal required
>Getting emulators to work all required me to make a exe to run a command.
????
See, this is the problem with Linux. I say "Dude I can't get the applications I want on any of these three." some smug jackass comes along, and goes.
>Ah, but on this other distribution you can get one of them!
Why would I have five different partitions for four linux distributions that I have to switch between to run things, when I could just use windows?
The problem is that it's a fricking hassle, you don't get it, this is why Linux will never catch up. You stick your fingers in your ears, and ignore that people have to look up a guide to get shit running, and half the time the solution is to run a emulator for windows. unless the developers are still around to make it work on your particular version.
I literally posted the fricking link. Omicron literally doesn't run at all on Linux, and never will. Most abandonware is like that.
Stop making shit up.
.
I didn't "Mess up" by wanting to use a program without having to emulate a second operating system that I could just run natively, or wanting my car to be faster. You're not asking people to "Learn to drive" you're asking people to need to look up a instructional any time they want to take their car to a new destination. You never "Learn to drive" with Linux. Stop pretending like you're not looking shit up most of the time you want to install something.
>Why would I have five different partitions for four linux distributions
That's your idea, not mine. I only picked one distro to dual boot into alongside my windows 7 and it's worked out well. Having modern hardware helps, I think it gets tricky if you have GPUs older than Pascal.
>Have to fallback to the not emulator
I already showed you how you can install them without using the terminal and another guy showed a pic of the graphic installer showing the programs as well. Assuming the thread is still up after I sleep I'll try omikron
I believe most of the games he mentioned are available in myabandonware, I remember somebody trying old games from there thru bottles and plain wine and it just worked. Pic related.
>Compare Linux to a Build your own Car
>Says to Stop Pretending that you're not Looking up Stuff
Nice, but I didn't say anything about 'not looking up stuff'...
What I actually am saying with the Comparison, is that if you put in the Work you can get everywhere you can get with Windows.
It's not Plug and Play, it's not Easy in Comparison, but you can do it if you wish.
Sorry about your Mental Deficiencies 🙁
Again, with a kit car, you eventually have a functioning car. You never have that with Linux. If by "Putting in the work" you mean "Having persistent slower user experience, for a product that's missing functionality, and regularly resorts to just running windows."
See, all of these little problems of this thing, and that thing not working on this version add up to a mess.
Throwing more power so you can emulate windows to emulate the PS2 is not a solution. Just skip the middleman, and run windows.
No, I literally linked it to you moron. You just said "Everything works lol" this is why your operating system is shit, and will remain shit. You pretend shit is working that isn't, and you don't have any idea about it working.
See, I get that I could buy a beefier gpu and cpu to run a windows emulator on linux, but why would someone do that when they can more quickly just click the exe on windows, using less power.
It's not a "Mistake" to reject using a different operating system so I can run windows in it.
>seething
A question was posed, I answered. People got upset, lied. I brought the receipts.
It's more than just that. HTC stuff as well.
Yeah, that's the short version. If you are really into playing with command line, and are okay with worse performance, and things needing fixed all the time, use Linux.
So yeah, most casual users want stuff to work easily. Most hardcore users want things to work efficiently, and better functionality. Almost everyone wants lower costs. Threads over.
oh i mean i dont use HTC and if i was to get another headset it would be a used index just to try it out

Yeah man, let me just buy a new gpu so I can play a 10 year old game. Just put in the work bro.
Have you read the part about setting it up correctly?
...
No?
Fantastic!
It's not like I play modern games on a mid tier 2019 computer on Linux.
It's like discussing Gardening for self sufficiency and the other Side argues that I will starve in a Year, but I've been living like that for half a Decade.
Please, share with us the setup to make Wine out perform windows, oh great tech genius.

Yes!

Also why are you injecting new Points as if it was made by the other Side.

>See, all of these little problems of this thing, and that thing not working on this version add up to a mess.
Huh? But my games library all work fine. I don't have your problems of little things here and there not working. I never had to do what you did, jumping around various distros to try them out. I simply picked up Nobara, installed it, and played games. Granted, your abandonware games will also have problems on modern windows e.g. you can't run age of mythology discs on windows 10 you need the redefinition version. This is also why I don't throw out my old computers, I love being able to play Bow and Arrow on old hardware.
You said you needed the terminal, people already showed you that you don't need the terminal, don't act like a moron just because you're in Ganker, please
not him but i like the terminal for most things
Nothing wrong with that, you can install software with it, but you don't NEED to, which is what he was complaining about
I'm not sure I can grief be your supposed experience when every single thing you were actually specific about are things that don't require the terminal
that's because linux devs are trannies

I hate these gays like you wouldn't believe
Those are gnome devs. kde devs are more friendly.
that's correct. their shit is also broken and they refuse to do simple usability fixes and instead spend time on "le heckin' spinning cuberino!!!" instead.
both kde devs and its users are tinkertrannies
KDE is broken?
there are either applications whose advertised features are full-on unusable and broken, or long-standing defects that the devs ignore with "cannot reproduce lawl"
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450168
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=278046
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=390733
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405299
stop pretending like kde is actually good. gnometrannies are insufferable but at least they generally actually check whether their shit works (the few programs and features they actually have) before releasing it

I'm pretty sure it's another issue.

literally gBlack person attitude
>They just complain they can't reproduce it
>I just tried it and can't reproduce it
>Well yeah that's because you aren't on Wayland
>I am on wayland
>nuh-uh Black person! You're a Black person! KDE is broken!!! >:(
then explain why i, just like all the others in the bug report, can reproduce it on real hardware, in vms, on fresh installs, and stop being a smug shitter. curiously you are ignoring all the other randonly picked bug reports i found in 10 minutes and no effort and was able to reproduce them all. you are why everyone hates linux users.

I thought you guys were busy trying to make a folder on your desktop
mkdir ~/Desktop/Yomama
Error: Cannot Allocate Enough Space to Directory
Shouldn't you be busy removing troony flags from your desktop? Black history month is coming up, I can't wait to see what cool things they'll put on your computer
It's what I'm used to. I've been using Windows for 30 years now, why should I switch now?
If you have no reason to want to leave windows then don't even bother
Right? Works for me. I just play games and browse. I don't need my OS needing to do more or being more customizable. I don't give a shit because what I'm using works.

Linux is great for mini servers and iot stuff that you want to perform a task automatically without ever touching. Easy to get remote shit like ssh sftp and vnc setup.
But it sucks for everyday general purpose use. Its shocking just how shit the UI and all of the desktop options are. Barely improved in the last 10 years.
The community in general fricking sucks, makes me so glad i dont work on open source shit:
>Plagued by presumptuous midwit wannabe politicians who assume everyones use case and protect them from themselves. "Nooo you're not allowed to run our app as root, noooo you're not allowed to just ignore security certificates your smart fridge could get hacked and stolen!!!"
>Have to actually be a software dev to use half the shit because everyone has their own fricked up hot take on software morality. "So, like we don't believe in publishing our Linux build binaries because of past drama and nobody else is allowed to either.... If you want to use our shit you need to pull the souce from git, install 10Gb worth of build dependencies and spend the rest of the day fricking around with it."
>Same dev will release a windows installer of the same software that just works.
>Assuming you do go down the rabbit hole of trying to get the shit working on linux there will always be some unforeseen issue because your setup is slightly different from the devs. The build will fail because you have a newer version of a dependency, and the old one cant be pulled down because it clashes with other libraries on your system. So you'll be sitting there staring at your screen wondering whether you should format your whole system to match what the dev had or go in and build a custom version of the dependency merging the shit you need from each version. If you can do that you could literally just get a job doing it as a mid level software dev and make 100k+
And they actually think normies who struggle to change their wifi name are going to do this all this.

>bruh just use muh docker or setup a build VM
More work, more issues, more wasted hours.
This is stuff that takes 10 minutes on Windows and only involves clicking some buttons.
As much as i wish it was good since modern windows is adware and spyware its obvious that most of the people promoting Linux as a fully functional alternative are coping and trying to downplay the issues.
I'll make the switch eventually.
So are this thread telling me that Pirated Windows is the peak of operating system?
Only if its Windows 7
>muh linux flavor
>spend 65% of your time reading documentation on how to fix something in the OS that mysteriously broke
>spend 30% of your time tinkering with the OS using the information you gathered while reading all of that documentation

>spend 1% actually playing video games
It's a great concept in theory, because frick Microsoft, but it's just not ready for prime time.
Easy!
Linux is a Kit Car.
Windows is a Train.
If Windows fails, it's because the System messed up.
If Linux fails, it's because You messed up.
People want to get from A to B, and not learn to Drive.
>If Linux fails, it's because You messed up.
I have a sneaking suspicion this is the main reason why morons don't want to use it, because they have no one to blame but themselves and they don't like that feeling.
LoL yes.
Also Karens get really nervous when there is no HR Department to complain to...
If people could just own up to, admit, and learn from their mistakes, the world would be a more peaceful place.
>a 46 minus compilation of people making fun of Linus for shilling against Linux
nice
linus
>wtf why can't i use apt on manjaro
also linus
>i setup kvm on manjaro
kek what the frick
He also didn't even dye his hair.
The worst part was him admitting he deliberately used an out of date version of Pop_OS to cause this issue and got his community to harass the apt developer to make it worse.
i have for everything but PCVR cause ALVR is still not ready
this thread is dumb and so are you
what chair should my fat rotund 320 pound ass get? the one i have is finally giving up the ghost after 7 years
Get the one with 11 legs, you know the one. Each leg comes with a pajeet to polish them.
I like Linux. I would personally behead every freetard.
This fricking thread is still up? holy shit linux should be banned on Ganker you homosexuals think you're so high and mighty because you copy and paste commands in the terminal. Most insufferable homosexuals on the internet.
>WHY ARENT YOU USING LINUX YOU MUST BE RTARDED XD
have a nice day
aww it's ok, mommy loves you even if you're a bit special
All the proof you need right here. Who gives a flying frick what OS people use? I've run linux in the past successfully and I got tired of having to tinker with it. Linux is not fricking videogames these threads should be banned
The terminal is quite handy and I actually miss some things about linux but you can frick right off with your holier than thou attitude
Holier than thou?
You can absolutely use Linux to Game, but you have to set it up right.
That's the Topic, if you don't use Linux to Game you don't want to learn to set it up.
It's you that injects the Moral Superiority Narrative.
Are you not browsing this thread. Linux gays are insufferable and ridicule anyone not using linux
All the more reason linux threads should not be on Ganker
No I don't ridicule people.
I am here to read Opinions.
You don't have to use Linux, but there is a difference between not wanting to use Linux and saying it cannot be used for Gaming
Honestly I'm surprised how well a lot of games work on Linux now (or at least the Steam Deck)
Even got old ass foreign games to work without an issue when it ran into issues on Windows
There's only one example of a game that I had a lot of trouble to get working and had to do a annoying workaround but eh you can't win em all
I lurk these threads exclusively because I figure I'll learn something but tonight I am druk and tired of the homosexualry on both sides
I'm ridiculing morons regardless of which OS they're using, it just so happen that most are using windows. If you want a safe hugspace, go back to discord and cry about trasnsphobes hurting you to your sisters.
>Who gives a flying frick what OS people use?
Mentally disturbed wintards tell people games don't work on linux when they do, people need to know that they are wrong so they know they can leave windows and be happy. The people that like windows should stay, but most people don't like windows, they need to know there is an alternative.
I mean to think that the Terminal is a Form of Magic is moronic on your Part...
I just want to say that if you showed the terminal as IRL voodoo magic sorcery to Black folk they would use it more. Black folk love their magic shit or you wouldn't be getting stories out of Africa about shamans being arrested.
Black folk - Extremely Intelligent Animals, but not Humans
I did switch to linux, only thing I miss about windows is the mouse feel. Never got it to feel the same.
Linux mouse driver feels too sensitive and feels off for some reason
Check if your mouse is compatible with piper software, I use piper for my mouse.
https://github.com/libratbag/piper
Your desktop environment should have a setting for mouse acceleration, did you check that?
I need to get it to the same default as windows. So whatever the DPI/sensitivity is when you set the mouse sensitivity to max in windows 10.
Seems there's no info online on the exact DPI
Only pedophiles use Linux.
because I'm straight
I use both windows and linux
honestly the ratio of trying to fix some stupid bullshit in windows and linux is about equal
linux at least has the advantage of most of the info being in one forum whereas windows info is more spread out and will be answered by some fricking pajeet that marks the answer as "just reinstall windows bro"
i do think anyone that b***hes about terminal is gay and has a typing speed below 20 WPM
i just like using terminal because it makes me feel like hackerman
If I'm being completely honest, me too sometimes.
It's satisfying to get something to run nice.
the Black person cant even install mods on linux LOL
good morning sir
I like windows 7.
I'M A GENIUS TOO YOU FRICKING homosexual I WILL FRICKING KILL YOU
