[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Not sure what you mean by that, are you asking for a Linux variant of fortnite and other fps games or something else? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] hh93@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago (2 children) No - I'm just saying that the delay in WIFI and the low framerate and small resolution of the screen makes the Steamdeck a sub-par choice for fast-paced games for me. It's fine if you are only playing on that device but if you also have a desktop to play at it's far worse imho permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 years ago Well yeah but his sentiment is about Linux in general especially with their store only being supported on windows (maybe Mac as well?). Idc about fortnite but would be nice if more companies take the effort to support or simply stop kicking Linux out. permalink fedilink source parent [–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 1 point 2 years ago* I mean, yes I don't have a gaming machine but also I just find playing shooters more fun on the steam deck to be honest. I can also play it while in so many more contexts (not necessarily out and about, just even at home) that the loss in computing power and screen fidelity doesn't really bother me. Do I mostly use guns with scopes? Yes lol.... but whatev it works fine. permalink fedilink source parent
