Linux has games too, bruh

got me thinking recently
are there actually linux exclusive games?

same thread yesterday try harder faggot

hello newfag how is it going

Not really feasible considering the Linux marketshare on Steam and other platforms.

I haven't missed it because I rarely play video games at this point and when I do there's plenty of good console games. There's been so little worth playing that has come out on PC in the past 5-10 years that anything I would want to play on PC runs fine in WINE/PlayOnLinux; probably the most recent game I've wanted to play on PC since dropping Windows has been Oblivion and that's pretty goddamn old at this point. I haven't even bothered to try an eGPU since selling my desktop for an X230 either. But if you're an insatiable Fortnite/MUH WITCHER 3 zoomer then hey, have at it.

most of linux games are open source so not really

In some of last videos Linus Tech Tips teased that they gonna make "gaming on linux" video soon.

Intermittently there were, but open sauce gets cross-compiled and/or ported pretty soon.

Guys, while a lot of this might be complete autism, I personally think that in this day and age, calling it GNU/Linux actually has some real meaning. There is this little thing called Android, and it uses the Linux kernel, but the rest of the components are non-GNU. Some are even proprietary! However, I have seen normies make the dangerously misleading claim that "Android is Linux!" It technically is, as it uses the Linux Kernel, but it shares nothing else with GNU/Linux distros, particularly their respect for your freedoms.
Because of this, we should say GNU/Linux, so as not to confuse it with the botnet that is Android, or other such projects. By saying GNU/Linux, we make it clear that yes, we are using Linux, but we are also using Free Software.

Sounds terrible.

I don't play games and I don't use Linux because it's TRASH. Every single distro is garbage.

So can it play Witcher 3?

>You won't miss Windows.

If you can't figure out how to run multiple OS for multiple applications you are too stupid to own a computer. An OS exists to run applications, OS are free as in beer (all of them, paying for OS or soft is stupid if not a business), and you can run all you like simultaneously in VMs while using one as host where you need bare metal access.

Having something to do is generally enough. Learning vim is really fun. I probably sound crazy to some.

This. I have a Windows VM with PCI Passthrough for gaming.
I had to do some performance tuning but it's running almost as well as bare metal.

I used to play this game. What it's called again?

It's just the windows version bundled with wine

literally nothing.

Allow me to interject for a moment and hijack this bait thread.
If I want to start learning to code, should I also start using Linux? Or using codeblox on windows like a pleb should suffice for a beginner?
Also, if I go for Linux, is babbys first distro OK (Ubuntu) or should I start with something else?
Thanks for your time, and have a good day

Nigga you enjoy when people laugh at you? xD

Relevant pasta if someone's interested:

Not him but the no games argument is not true anymore. Windows is the best os for gaming mostly due to most game developers are trained into developing for it with microsoft's closed APIs, so the simple process of porting a game that was developed for windows to any other platform will affect negatively the performance of the game. This with the fact that the marketshare is small compared to windows there's hardly an incentive at the moment to optimize for linux, making look as if the platform were worse for games than windows when in fact to flip the situation you'll need to change the idiosyncrasies on the industry itself.

The fact though is that the situation on linux is not nearly the same than two years ago and now those who prefer linux over windows now can play games on it, helping to break the vicious circle, but still there's a lot of things to do for linux to compete in the gaming side. I anyone wants for this to change i recommend to play the games you can on linux when possible and ask for linux ports.

I notice some people doesn't want's for this to happen but if that the case let me ask (not directed specifically to the person i'm replying): how are any of you benefited in a meaningful way with the current situation? because i consider that keeping the statu quo just to have a tool to win an argument on what OS is better is not a meaningful thing. how having less options and practically being locked to MS products benefits you?

Thanks for posting my list. And as others said in the last thread, it's not even close to being all of the excellent games that will run natively on GNU/Linux.

Saving this in my pasta folder

does Wine DX11 support still lag the mouse like Wine Dx9 tried it in like 2010 or some thing and it was quite annoying. felt like horrible actually and would always fuck up like the mouse would fly off random and get out of track with the program and feel like you where alt tabbing constantly between diferent aspect ratios and had horrible non consistant feel to tracking.

it wasn't just like some slight acceleration it was truly random and super janky.

if they fixed that I might consider giving Linux a go. DX is going noware wouldn't be supersized if next xbox literally switches to Volkan or openGL or some thing to help it catch up to PS4 gfx.

>newfag /v/ crossposter doesn't get the joke

what games am i missing on windows again?

Remember, you're talking to someone who hacks their consoles.

i do like linux thou but want to know if they finally fixed the mouse on the Wine emulator for playing Dx11 games. i know Linux does actually perform better than windows for gaming on native games and maybe not that far behind on emulated DX ones.

Linux literally performs betting in lots of benchmarks like Haven benchmark etc sure its native support is shit compared to windows but you can emulate all thous singleplayer games on Wine and maybe even some multiplayer ones if they fixed the mouse bugs. if your core multiplayer games have Linux versions you may as well switch if you want some extra fps.

xplane a demanding flightsimulator literally gets double the FPS on Linux compared to windows on the same hardware.

like Xplane is 109fps on windows and 230fps on linux or some thing.. no jokes

and Haven benchmark that benchmark every one uses to show off their 1080s literally gets more fps on Linux than Windows.

But those games are "closed-source: and "Proprietary" vomit. Lord Richard Stallman would be upset.

If you want to play good Linux games just play good PC games since all of them run fine using dxvk or you passthrough.

what does run fine mean thou do they still have mouse tracking problems like Wine Dx9 did?

>Linux literally performs betting in lots of benchmarks like Haven benchmark
That's completely irrelevant since the only benchmarks that truly matter is actually running the game.

THIS THREAD AGAIN!?!

Wine + DXVK keeps most DX11 games running at or above a smooth 60-70 fps, whilst pushing all setting to high or ultra. If you are a casual faggot, who still wants to keep up with modern games in your spare time, that's kind of a big deal.
