    • Video-only link.
    • No transcript, synopsis, or even point of view in the post.
    • Provocative click-bait title.

    No thanks. I come to discussion forums for discussion and legitimate news, not to spend my time slogging through some influencer’s video to bolster their view count.

    When they don’t respect my time enough to at least outline their key points in text, and there’s no obvious reason why the content must be video, I find that it’s vanishingly unlikely that they have anything interesting to say.

    I’ve been daily driving Linux for a few years. I’ve had exactly one (1) game that wouldn’t run because of anti-cheat, and dozens that run great. And the Steam deck gaining popularity is only making things better and easier.

      Been gaming on Linux for over a decade, definitely some stuff is a bit h but it’s surprising how much works flawlessly. Bought a steam deck a month ago and I’m very impressed with the polish and compatibility. I’ll be happy to see it keep selling. It’s a nice piece of hardware.

    I’m at work so I can’t really watch a video about this…but I don’t think I’ve had a problem running any recent game at all. The only one that comes to mind was the beta for monster hunter wilds, and I think that was sort of it’s own thing because the game was a mess for windows users too.

    Also the new Derail Valley update is awesome and they’re working with valve to make it work even better on the steam deck.

    Not being able to play the world’s most popular games, means most gamers aren’t ready for Linux yet.

    • FC25
    • GTA V
    • LOL
    • Fortnite

    And more.

    I hate those games, but my kids want to play FC25, and for that… I still have a dreaded Windows PC.

    Y’all realize that you are doing exactly what these creators want, right?

    They create stupid/outlandish shit, because they know people, like everyone posting here, will spread the video to the 4 corners in indignant outrage, and give the creator more spread and exposure than they would have ever gotten on youtube alone due to algorithm.

    And if you don’t do that, you’ll make tons of comments on the video/youtube channel, massively spiking their engagement and skewing the algorithm in their favor

    I have problems getting really old games to run. Especially Windows 95/98 games. I don’t care much for online slop. Most games I want to play work.

    “Oh, look! One(1) game has been busted by the devs themselves and because of that, Linux gaming is dead as ever!”

    It works perfectly for me, but I don’t play online games. I hope they can get those games running in Linux so those folks can switch over.

    Indie games and single player games and multiplayer games with devs enabling support still supported.
