Get off that high horse: linux can still run DotA 2.

Crap games apart (LOL is a good name for it), the only reason because Windows is better for games is that most games in the market are Windows only, no other reasons. But this is currently changing with more and more games also for Linux. Worst gaming platform is still Apple.

Anyway, at least

[-] DestroyMegacorps@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 years ago

Also shout out to valve for making more windows games run on linux via proton

[-] Venator@lemmy.nz 15 points 2 years ago

And the reason a lot of games are made for windows: nvidia helps companies with testing and development support, but funnily enough they help with testing nvidia hardware, and only on Windows.

I guess they only do Windows to try to keeo development costs of the drivers down? But I'm not sure.

OpenBSD:

  • does not run systemd

Conclusion: OpenBSD wins

My pocket calculator: does not run anything

Conclusion: my pocket calculator wins. Always

It runs calculations. Abacus wins again

[-] Darkenfolk@dormi.zone 14 points 2 years ago

Haha fools behold my pet rock, it never runs anything or anywhere.

I thought all systemd haters would have died by now due to old age. At this rare chance, I have a question: How did it feel to live together with actual dinosaurs?

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Why do people hate systemd anyway? I'm not that tech-savvy but I've always used it and I don't recall ever having a problem with it

Calm down Lennart. Also, upstart was better and not ancient.

[-] moonpiedumplings@programming.dev 9 points 2 years ago

Upstart was better, but even Ubuntu, who was by the creators of upstart (Canonical) decided to switch to systemd after using upstart for a bit?

I finally gave up the hate and embraced the poeterring-ing a few years ago. Can confirm I de-aged by 15 years as a result.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 13 points 2 years ago

Systemd is good actually

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Wasn't a big reason some people don't like systemd because it didn't run on FreeBSD?

Oh they already activated Vanguard for League of Legends? Because before that it could run under linux.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 23 points 2 years ago

They announced it like a month ago, they could have flipped the switch by now. LoL was always a pain to get working anyway

[-] DmMacniel@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago
[-] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

It still runs, for the time being

[-] GiveOver@feddit.uk 16 points 2 years ago

Not just yet, they've been pushing it back repeatedly. Currently has a limited rollout in the Philippines. My Windows 11 PC can't run Vanguard so I'm just waiting to be kicked off any day now

[-] Surp@lemmy.world 21 points 2 years ago

I'm not sure whats worse. Lemmy or Reddit.

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 54 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The League of Legends community on Reddit is much larger.

Lemmy is better

[-] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 years ago

Check mate, Agnostics!!!!

[-] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

There are times I'd go with Reddit (or at least pre-exodus Reddit; I haven't been back there much since the APIpocalypse,) particularly when politics are discussed, but posts like this show where Lemmy shines.

[-] TheCheddarCheese@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

A large portion of Lemmy users migrated from reddit. They're both going to be similarly cancerous.

I really wanna switch to Linux so bad because of windows 10 support is ending soon and windows 11 suck ass I especially hate chatgpt and edge and boring desktop environment and sloppy navigation around the os and inconsistent design and everything else really, the only reason I use computer is games and a bit of documents editing but I lose half of my fps when I played on Linux which is a big deal when all I have is a potato laptop, hopefully by the time windows 10 ended support gaming on Linux will be at least 80% of the windows performance

[-] grue@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago

You might be using the wrong driver or something. Usually Linux has at least comparable framerates to Windows, if not faster.

I switched to Linux a few months ago after building a new computer as I didn't feel like paying over $100 for an OS that has ads in the start menu and spammy popups.

Almost all of my games work fine and don't have any issues with lag. The exception is GTA V which doesn't work at all and Sims 4 which works fine but EA's launcher has given me a few issues.

You shouldn't have any issues with document editing or web browsing. In my experience printing actually works better on Linux than it did for me on Windows.

If you want you could dual boot or keep an old windows system around to play games that aren't working on Linux, but in my experience, most games, especially indie games, work just fine on Linux.

[-] TheRedSpade@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

GTA V which doesn't work at all

YMMV. Works out of the box on the deck and I don't remember having any problems with it on arch.

Trying not to be one of those "but did you try" replies, but personally, I would run Fedora xfce spin to see if anything changes.

Cutting edge kernel modules + minimal X11 DE will rule out stupidity from Wayland and make it easier to try some different settings.

AMD is supposed to work out of box, but I've heard there are some quirks with certain GPUs in which you may need to set some kernel flags.

Ex: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/how-to-install-amd-graphics-driver-on-fedora-36/74052/5

The game runs just fine. Vanguard is what is preventing it.

Either way GNU/Linux wins.

[-] HiddenLayer5@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 years ago

Does not have AI powered shit by default either which is another huge plus.

Anyway, almost the only game I play in spare times since years, is The Dark Mod, it's free and works fine in Linux, Windows and even in Mac (using PlayonMac).

This is exactly the reason I am going to install linux on my main Desktop, crazy coincidence of this meme. The temptation to play that addicting game is sometimes hard to resist. In linux I am more inclined to spend my time on stuff I learn from.

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I once visited a friend's house and when I saw their computer's desktop I dragged LoL to the trash bin and they didn't even try to stop me.

The more EA adds "in-kernel rootkits" to their games, the more powerful Linux becomes.

How can I block Lemmy Linux memes? Is there a way to escape Linux on Lemmy?

[-] Maven@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

You can add filter words on some apps. They remove any post that contains those words. In this case you'd add "Linux"

[-] humbletightband@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

Looking at it, I remembered the time when the only source of income I had was LoL
