When the day comes that Linux runs all of my games, I will give the dual-boot the boot. :)
The only games that don't run nowadays I think are the ones that require installing kernel malware so you might reconsider playing them regardless of your OS.
Even some of those work, Helldivers 2 for instance. I usually check protondb.com to make sure if I can run the game if it does not have a native build.
Stop playing games that won’t play on Linux.
Just throw away the money you spent, and the social groups that use those games as hangouts!
You could say the same about drugs...
Mostly online multiplayer.
So far in my friend group it's just CoD, Destiny...forget the others. I don't play those but literally every game I do wanna play just works for the last few years. 🤷♂️
Holy shit there's still Destiny 2 players....?
Which specific don't work. Every online multivitamin game I played works. I don't play COD or those modern "AAA" slops.
Not everything has to be 100% perfect - even Windows is not able to run all of my games. Most games run without problems and those games which make problems are mostly due to anticheat. It's a perfectly reasonable solution to simply dual boot if you want to play Call of modern Warfare: DLC edition
That will most likely never happen, so stop lying to yourself.
