At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.

I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.

Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.

Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.

No joke, most of my games work better on Linux because of proton than my Windows box. Such a nice experience.

Same here. Linux just need rolling gameplay recording and better controller support (steering wheels for one) and for me it'd be set. I know Decky has it for the Steam Deck but I haven't seen one for desktop that works fine on Wayland.

Have a rather „expensive“ sim racing rig and would love to switch over to Linux again. But it’s simply a niche in a niche so I don’t expect any surprises in the near future. Too bad

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah, sim racing is very much left out in the Linux world, if not pretty janky. Virtual reality isn't doing too hot here either, Valve just announced Steam Link for the Oculus headsets, and right now it's Windows only.

TBF I haven't actually tried Asetto Corsa with my steering wheel, or XPlane with my VR headset on Linux yet I just assumed it wouldn't work. As soon as they do, I can't wait to shitcan Windows forever.

I've tried Euro Truck Sim 2 with my G29, which was built for PlayStation but can work on PC with drivers on both Windows and Linux. On Linux, PS4 mode doesn't work on Linux, but PS3 mode does - the main thing is you lose the speed indicators on your wheel, if you really want them speed lights you'll have to go Windows and install G HUB.

Some say PS3 mode disables clutch support since that was the case when using it on a PS3 but IDK if this is the case on PC and specifically Linux. Cursory search points towards no.

Highly recommend this feels exactly like I still have shadowplay with no performance loss.

So far black desert online is the only game that I've wanted to play that I can't on Linux (eac is awful). I know there are others, but it's mainly fps games that bother with windows-only eac and I don't play fps games all that much. Battlebit is probably the only fps I've been playing in the past few months, and they use/will be using a linux-compatible eac version which I'm jazzed about

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Actually, EAC has a Proton-compatible build, the devs just have to use it. It's not a hard switch, they just have to choose to allow Linux compatibility, which most devs (well, really it's probably an exec level decision) do not.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

In black desert’s case, there’s no chance they would ever allow anyone to play without a kernel anti cheat, which EAC doesn’t allow on linux. The game is literally all grind, if bots could run on linux it would absolutely ravage the already shit economy.

That's unfortunate, but not surprising. I can't exactly expect Epic to port the wine compatible version to the old release, so it makes sense.

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

From the controversy around battlebit using eac, apparently the eac version that is just a checkmark for proton/Linux support is not a drop in replacement for the regular one that is more popular. The one with that option would require a lot of refactoring code, and doesn't have all of the features of the main eac unfortunately.

I only ever boot Windows for VR. That's it

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I gave up on trying BattleBit for free on Ubuntu 22.04 this weekend, no Proton or GE-Proton version would run that motherfucker.

I didn't feel like booting Windows.

Modding can be an issue though.

Btw, does Wallabag work now on Linux?

And i don't get Reshade since 5.* to work in wine/proton anymore?
