At the same time the small amount of games that don't support Linux also happen to be some of the biggest and most popular ones.

    Good même but you can very much run lol on Linux. It's weird around the edges especially in the launcher but it's definitely playable.

    Didn't they transition it to the same kernel-level antichest that Valorant uses? IIRC, that anticheat absolutely refuses to let you run it on Linux.

    AFAIK there is a work around to run MacOS in a VM and run the Mac client which doesn't have kernel anti cheat, but meh, why bother?

    It's more competitive ones. And yes, I know they come with that shit too but not all FOMO games are pvp games and Linux has plenty of working multiplayer games with that shit.

    What competitive ones? Counterstrike and quake are on Linux just fine. R6 siege is cool, but the only reason you can't run it on Linux is because the publisher is specifically blocking that.

    Obviously not Valve titles. lol I don't even know why you're asking though, you know full well which games we're talking about.

    Nope. I don't. You bring it up like there's a competitive game that matters we're missing out on. Is it the new Tribes?

    Oh please save me the bad faith crap. Just look over at Epic. And next you say "they don't matter", to which I say "none of them matter", since it is a purely subjective opinion to have.

    Minecraft? CS2? Dota 2?

    Frankly the only game I haven't been able to play (besides a couple of old MMO private servers I couldn't get running) has been Fortnite, and there's frankly no reason it shouldn't run on Linux already, Epic just sucks

    It doesn't run because Tim Sweeny is a salty jerk who had one negative interaction with a Linux user (the Linux user just posted a rice and he was pissed he couldn't do that on Windows)

    I'm honestly at a loss as to why they are so popular. I barely remember the last time I enjoyed a AAA game. The only notable exceptions would probably be Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dishonored, which both work. Personally I haven't run into any games that wouldn't work and as much as I'd love to dismiss those (fucking atrocious) games, I get your point about it preventing popular adoption. Sadly it's not something Linux can easily fix, as long as companies insist on using windows specific versions of anti cheat software (despite Linux versions of the same stuff existing) just so they can have kernel access to your machine.

    Lots of people really enjoy competitive games. Competitive multi-player games attract the most cheaters, resulting in the strictest anti-cheat measures (which still barely work, honestly).
