No one from linux here is spanking you for not using linux. you are being spanked for not knowing how an app like steam works. i would kick your ass just the same for posting on a windows forum for not knowing that you can add non steam games to steam. hell I've installed non games on steam. just exe. you dont need a specific OS to do that.
And not denying you to play specifically battlefield but theres probably double the pvp games over what isnt playable on linux that is playable on linux. Or just dual boot for the (only 3 gamesyouabsolutelyneedwindowsfor).. you dont want that? fine. you do you.
i personally wouldnt throw an os out over one game when i have 5 others that are easily playable on there to just try it out. so i dont know why you have such shade just over someone who does use linux.
We really are quite literally spoiled on choice in this day and age with games given there's console wars aside from all this pc bickering we're here doing.
but to each their own. go back to your pretending to be starving for choices. poor you. there there i guess.
The fact that you couldn't be moderately civil there proves my point that the entire community is toxic is all hell.
excuse you!? you joined a thread where a user got caught out not knowing what they are doing with steam and gave poor advice and blamed linux. they could have asked nicely. but instead you all barrelled in here with your 'linux sucks' to start.
dont act like you didnt play a toxic part in this play.
Steam is an app. It is not an OS.
Sure, I'm wrong about piracy on Linux. I didn't know it was so established. That doesn't mean I'm some kind of noob online.
Im the lead developer at my work. Im quite capable and comfortable in Linux.
Unfortunately, Linux doesn't get very good hardware support. So you either have to compile the drivers yourself or hope someone else has done that work. Nobody got time for that.
it does but then it does catch up. its alwys getting updated. dont spread misinformation.
Some severe cope you have here. I only tend to play 1 or 2 games at most in any time frame. -Maybe 3-6 a year. When one of those doesn't play on Linux, that's a huge impact on my view of Linux. -But that's minor compared to the games that couldn't be completed halfway through due to frame timing issues. Also, pacing games that experienced input lag. It's worse to be stuck with a game broken midway on a shitty limited OS than to just have it not play to begin with.
Maybe if you played games enough to experience problems instead of constantly having to fix your Linux; you'd see these things.
i didnt say i didnt play enough games to know. that is your assumption.
i just finished testing 20 in the last few months. they worked fine on linux.
and i built a simulation rig.
unlike others here : I know Steam is an app. not an OS
So i know what i'm doing.
Obviously not, and no one with a job and life is completing that many modern games that quickly.
uhuh.
steam is an app. not an OS.
and I'm done with your bad acting.
