Xevil still works.
I've been having a great experience. I am on an all AMD system, which generally has better support than Nvidia, so ymmv. The only thing I occasionally miss is Xbox game pass, but I didn't use it a ton to be honest so I guess Linux just saved me 15 bucks a month.
Most games I've played have been a literal cakewalk, just install and play. Stuff that uses the ea launcher acts a little strange on launch but has worked fine so far - just have to not panic when you see a blank ea window sit there for like 10-15 seconds and have faith it will move passed it, lol.
I would be keen to hear back on these. I think you will have no problem with Civilisation, but for Skyrim modding, possibly issues especially if you're using an ENB mod.
I've been meaning to try Skyrim but I'm waiting until total conversion mods Skywind and Skyblivion come out.
Don't use ENB with my setup, too much of a strain on fps, so that wouldn't be a setback :)
The only thing that still makes me keep a Windows partition on my computer is Valorant, I want to start playing CounterStrike so I can drop this damn malware game.
I've always wondered but for all the hate Valorant gets, do you feel like their anti-cheat has reduced the amount of cheaters you experience as compared to other games?
FWIW I haven't played much Valorant
Absolutely not, even at my low rank, every now and then I end up falling into a game with hackers. And there's always someone going live on TikTok admittedly using hacks.
I'd say about 95 percent of my steam collection works with little to no tweaking required these days. Skyrim works, throw any mods you want at it. Witcher 3 runs great. RDR2 and any civ 1-6 all run perfectly. Baulders Gate 3 runs smooth as butter.
There's the odd game here and there that doesn't work well or at all but most things just work. I think the main thing that doesn't work is anticheat enabled online games. I don't play those though so I can't really comment on their state of play outside of that.
I couldn't get RDR2 to play, but I'm also a noob. I have a drive with windows just for playin the games I can't run in linux, and maybe I boot it once a month.
Linux
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.
