Even gamers nexus' Steve today said that they're about to start doing Linux games performance testing soon. It's happening, y'all, the year of the Linux desktop is upon us. ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ

Edit: just wanted to clarify that Steve from GN didn't precisely say they're starting to test soon, he said they will start WHEN the steam OS releases and is adopted. Sorry about that.

Linux doesn't run as many games as Windows

I'd argue it runs more due to compatibility breaks. Wine just-werks with a lot of old installers.

Indeed. I couldn’t get a couple of old 3DO games working on windows 10/11 even though I bought them on Steam.

Work great on Linux w/ Photon (aka wine).

Hit or miss sadly, but still damn close to magic. I can play skyrim and it runs.. As expected, but can't install dark souls rn.

I've got Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition (with DSFix) working just fine.

I don't remember having to do anything weird... Have you tried ProtonGE? Maybe it was DSFix that makes it work? I don't remember if I tried playing without DSFix first.

My copy's pirated thats prolly Why u don't have issues, I'm launching the installer wine installer.exe

Sadly the repacks like fitgirl is a hit or miss

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 2 points 13 hours ago

Rip. At least my gta5 dodi repack plays... OK. Either play a pirated copy of gta5 or simply don't play it at all cus my legitimate copy can't play cus its epic games and the cockstar launcher won't connect to the internet thus locking me out of the game, even offline🤡. It has issues with light, when it hits at certain angles the whole map becomes white AF and things from a distant draw poorly, like mountains and such. Other than that thank god triple a games are at least playable on gnux. Ty crackers and ty wine+proton :3

The psychic damage from that acronym still hurts after all these years.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
