Nah, fuck it, I'm switching to Linux.

[-] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago

Yep. Gaming is starting to work on Linux, so I will move to Linux once Microsoft cancels 10.

11 has nothing more than more telemetry and tracking going for it. Gaming is slower, so why would I upgrade for a worse experience.

I play old games still anyways. Linux is more secure than Windows 11 anyways. I won't upgrade to 11, and turned off TPM in BIOS so 11 won't automatically install.

Can't wait for anti cheat to work with Linux ☹️

[-] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

This is my biggest hold up. Pretty much any triple A game has anti cheat these days.

Most anticheat software actually runs on Linux! Even the previously stubborn EasyAntiCheat got its Linux-compatible version.

I know it can run on it but games like destiny and fortnite still have to allow it unfortunately

Most modern games can work. But this is a dev issue, not a "wait until it works on linux" issue

EAC, and BattleEye both work on Linux, all the dev has to do is tick a "Proton Compatible" checkbox. Which many publishers/devs, namely Epic, don't do because they hate linux with a red hot passion for some unknown reason.
