Is it a fucking meme? Even with Steam games, you'll run in a barriers like half of your library not being available on steam and a quarter of the half that works not being able to do cross-platform multiplayer.
Sure, you could use a VM but then you'd have to jump through the hoops of convincing the internet-connected version of Windows that you've got that it isn't pirated and once you've done that you're still going to have to deal with the fact that like a sixth of your RAM is just going to be eaten by the host OS.
As for WINE, I'm 90% sure that it's a meme. For a start it's pretty slow, and even when you do jump through all of the hoops that you need to go through to get it to work (e.g. installing fonts), it's not as if Steam's going to co-operate, because Steam's just going to install the Linux version of your games and tell you to go fuck yourself if you ever try to get the Windows versions.
So long story short, why does Jow Forums keep on telling me that I can game on this thing? It's hard enough to even get my weeb shit to run (pic related, it barely works even now that I've got some decent fonts for it).
Just dual boot and unplug your ethernet cable before booting into Windows. >convincing the internet-connected version of Windows that you've got that it isn't pirated Better yet, since you're so enamored by the idea of multiplayer and burning money on expendable digital entertainment which can be cloned infinitely at almost no cost, how about you just stay on Windows? Why are you even using Linux anyway?

honestly the only game i've had trouble with on Linux so far is Kamidori. for some reason whenever the audio streams play the animations slow to a halt, haven't figured out a way around it just yet.

>this just makes no sense Going by my library, it's true.
>ram I've got 6GB and I'm running Ubuntu 18.04, it's a hungry piece of shit.
>2% Way more than that.
>steam play I've never heard of that.
Jack Diaz
glad you figured it out,inow install windows and go back to

>I've never heard of that. No, you totally have heard of it. It's the reason you made this shit thread in the first place. You wanted to discuss it, but couldn't actually bring yourself to make a not retarded bait thread.

the online thing is usually a drm problem or the game server problem, not a wine one if you're using gnome/unity then its a hungry boi running a vm is going to also be a hungry boi cus windows will take another 700mb at minimum looks like you've got some kind of unicode text thingy issue i had the same on windows 7 something todo with system fonts you have installed gl user i hope you can play your hentai games eventually

Alright, I've looked it up now. Does it circumvent the cross-platform issue?
