Linux isn't a solution if you play competitive multiplayer games, which most people do.

Edit: keep being classy basement trolls, you're only proving my statements about the shittiness of the linux community with every downvote.

What??? Do you have a statistic on this like does most of the population of earth play call of street fortnite 20 or whatever "competitively"?

[-] Knock_Knock_Lemmy_In@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

I think you are confusing "professionally" and "competitively". Anyone playing to win is being competitive.

I don't think that many people even play video games nevermind online ones nevermind competitive ones

https://truelist.co/blog/gaming-statistics

Like 41% which is more than I expected but only a tiny fraction of those use PCs

[-] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

which most people do.

Lolwhut?

Most people who play competitive multiplayer games (a minority of total users) do so on console

I'm upvoting you because I know what you're trying to say. Personally I don't have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don't feel like I'm "missing out". Still, I get it.

there are 3 billion people playing videogames, most of them playing casual af shit like candy crush (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-gamers).

About "competitive" multiplayer games: have you tried proton? I myself was sticking with Windows untill i eventually tried it.

Linux is not a solution if you have a skill issue. The longer people have this kind of mindset you have, the longer Microsoft will pretend to be a monopolist, the longer they will behave like total shitheads towards their customers.

Is proton also a work around for easy anti-cheat now?

[-] CheesyFox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It literally is. Played Hunt: Showdown and Warthunder with no problems at all

Lol yeah "most people" definitely do not play competitive multiplayer games. Are the other children in your friend group literally the only other humans you've ever met?

[-] long_chicken_boat@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

"most people" = "most teens". I don't know any adult that plays competitive multiplayer games other than maybe CSGO.

[-] caron@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

I am not sure if most people play competitive multiplayer games

[-] veniasilente@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Care to cite sources for that? Haven't seen people playing "competitive multiplayer games" from most people in a while, now.
