Two moods
(ukfli.uk)
This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.
Friends are overrated, comrade!
Friends are capitalistic propaganda to make you easier to manipulate and control into working long hours so that some guy called "CEO" can show off all of his green pieces of paper to his friends /s
During last gamenight with the friends we decided to play halo infinite. We all had a good laugh that the two on windows were the only ones crashing
I would not let that live down tbh
i often play gta online with two friends who use windows. they have crashes, sounds disappearing, issues joining sessions and they keep falling through ground. on mint my only problem is no cursor in social club. my framerate is not great though, 80 - 100 vs on windows it stays above 120. except for the random massive lag spikes.

Honestly Steam and Proton have solved like 90% or more of this issue, i was in this spot in the past for a long, long time, but Steam has made this work almost seamlessly for a great number of games
And then i got the Steam Deck and this went into overdrive
At this point i feel like Linux is a realistic option for a gamer, qualified of course (anti-cheat tech tends to break things, plus there's a few problematic ones), but we are at the point where you can buy an AAA title and be relatively confident it will run on Linux (check first though)

Off topic... But isn't apt-get outdated? I thought it was just "apt install"
If you're a user interacting with a terminal => apt
If you're writing a script or putting it in a docker file/automation => apt-get
Apt is ~~just a wrapper around apt-get~~ a newer binary than apt-get (I stand corrected after checking my memory against google) and there are warnings that the apt shorthand is not as reliable in scripted scenarios. Its meant for user convenience.
Apt-get is most certainly not outdated.
I tried Arch once and they use Pacman for everything.
It's like Pacman -sY to install. Makes no sense.
At least the AUR is cool.
One day, Linux will have a nice, unified, polished application portal (not store because god forbid we see a LINUX APP STORE).
For everything else there's git.
Git clone Make Pacman -sY lethal company Sudo chmod +x ./home/user/games/lethal_company.x86_64
"Hold on guys I swear it works, Linux is just better, hold on"
AUR Proton_EasyAntiCheatHooks Man -k Nvidia-Propietary ./etc/Xserver.conf --display one --mode C1B3 --vsync off Sudo reboot -now
The crazy thing is, you would probably want to name it something direct and memorable like LINUX APP STORE to market it to the masses. Have a tag line like “it’s all free!” or whatever.
In the Super Bowl (no affiliation to c/superbowl) commercial, we’ll hear some grandma questioning whether the things on her new laptop were free from restrictions or free from cost, and her jock grandson will look right into the camera and say “yes!”

Found the Nvidia user.
It's such a pain in the ass. Every time I have a kernal update it's time to go into single user mode and hit up lynx for the new graphics driver.

Haven't run into a game yet that doesn't run on Linux when using Proton. 👌

This seems dated. I'm not saying there is no issues but man has it improved so much.
Improved =/= working 100% of the time
Ah, yes, not 100% of the time. You know, like Windows. Thanks for the laugh.

Impossible, I've had Linux users swear to me that gaming on Linux is now perfect and even better than on Windows!
I've had people tell me that they experience better performance running games on Linux through Proton compared to running them natively on Windows. A while back, I decided to try Windows for the first time since 2002 on actual hardware. With TF2, I encountered significantly more crashes & lag compared to running it on my Arch install....
If you're getting crashes and lag on TF2, that's your pc. Do you have to hand crank it or something?

The only time I have trouble with Linux gaming is either a multiplayer game I want to play isn't supported or some Visual Novel having random issues every once in a while. But this meme is still true lol.
this is exactly me every time i'm showing someone how easy it is nowadays to run games in linux, only for the game that was running perfectly the previous night to throw some random error and crash my system
"ah shucks, Windows Update just initiated a reboot without asking, guess I'm out for the night guys"
I hate Windows, but this has never happened neither to me nor my friends. (Granted I only have like 3 friends who use it regularly)

Everyone in the comments: "Actually I don't have the same problems so this is wrong"
That's because Steam/Proton has mostly solved this (with some qualified notorious exceptions), which used to be a real problem even just a few years ago, but not remotely as much these days; the meme is mostly outdated by now, I've lived both cases and it used to be a pain but these days? people are spoiled by Valve and many have never lived the OP situation (which is great news!)

I always hear people say they sometimes have issues with games but I've switched to Linux relatively recently and I still haven't had a game in my library that didn't play.
It's crazy how much better things are now. I had the same reaction some weeks ago when I wanted to play Leathal Company with friends and remembered I'm on Linux while they all used some 3rd party Windows only mod manager. One day later I found r2modman in the AUR which automatically recognized Steam + Proton and everything just ran. And there is even a Titanfall 2 cross platform mod program!!!! The sofware support just keeps getting better every day.
Steam with Proton made this way more easier than in the past. OTOH, yeah, sometimes I feel like this when tuning CS2 on Wayland.

I installed KDE Neon on Friday evening and things were going great, everything was testing well, and Saturday game night with the gang went flawlessly, but this morning the VMWare Horizon Linux client spontaneously decided that it didn't want to accept mouse input anymore, so after ten minutes of troubleshooting I gave up and booted back into Windows so that I can be productive today.
A battle lost, but the war is not over yet.

- Free of proprietary software
- plays Apex Legends
Yeah give me a minute to install and setup proprietary Nvidia drivers, Retroarch, PCSX2, Lutris, Steam and Wine-staging along with all of the necessary dependencies. Worth it tho
install grub
install windows
only boot into windows
???
Let's hope that game is open source, otherwise Richard Stallman would be very disappointed.
Meh. I definitely had issues getting bg3 working well on Linux.
Eventually I switched to windows and it was a nightmare of different and worse issues.
Back to Linux, found a fix. Sweet.

It's always best to try it well ahead of time even if it's just for having that shader cache setup and ready to go.
Also trying to get trainers to run is a bit of a nightmare. I use steamtinkerlauncher for that and it's hit or miss I'd say.
Is this true anymore with Steams Version of Linux? For the most part shit runs fine on my steam deck
