My gaming rig is linux and it’s only sorta inconvenient
How dumb can a person be and still use Linux for gaming? I'm open to switching from Windows but am only marginally technical so I don't wanna bite off more than I can chew
These days it's more "which games don't work on linux?" Rather than "which games work on linux?"
It's even simpler then that.
It's which games use EAC or BattleEYE and have dog shit devs that won't just turn on proton support. It's seriously just this at this point. I feel like every time I go looking though protonDB a majority of the garbage rated games are anticheat/drm related problems.
Fucking fromsoft games use EAC and they have worked out of the box day 1 on Linux.
Yeah I managed to solve that for some games by installing the proton EAC plugin. Squad works for instance.
But games introducing kernel-level DRM I wouldn't install on my Windows machine anyway. I guess the person I replied to potentially doesn't know how to deploy a new operating system. So they might not care about all that anywho.
But calling everyone else dumb because they don't know how to do something is ridiculous.
