MODERATORS
I just wish that Vortex or some other mod manager worked on Linux. The amount of black magic I have to do to get mods running is kinda absurd.
I swear I saw they were going to start working on one
They did then abandoned it for some fucken reason because Nexus will just do that. Hell at this point I'd settle for a Linux fork of the old NMM with collection support since most of the issues with modding Linux is just lack of mod managers.
Unpopular opinion: these memes always have ‘I am very smart’ energy on Lemmy. The issue is that these companies should support Linux not that your personal taste in video games means it’s a good thing that they don’t.
I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort. So I haven’t switched. My best friend has switched and made the changes necessary and is forever troubleshooting issues.

Anything that isn't a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.
So, the software that runs the features on my mouse and headset run on a VM. Then I play the games in the base OS with those features like software driven surround sound?
This is actually similar to the situation I came across with my friend. “Everything works 100% it’s crazy!” Sweet! How’d you get the customisable mouse buttons working? (He has the same mouse as me) “There are extra mouse buttons? Oh, there are! I never noticed. No, they don’t work anymore”. 😑
No, no, no - this is all wrong. I don't consider you a person unless you self-flagellate at the terminal daily, compiling from source in dependency hell while being cleansed by the vim fires at the altar of Tux.
This species of Linux user reminds me quite a lot of Catholics.
The conclusion is correct but you need to show your work a little more.
Runs SF6 very good still haven't tried GGS but I'm set. I would like to try 2xko but can dich it for Marvel Toukon when is out.
GGS runs fine on mine :3
Well, good that my ol pal rimworld works like a charm
I've got a decent rig and rimworld chokes at a reasonable farmyard size. What's your secret?
how many hundred mods you have
"yes"
That's a trick question, the correct answer is "not many enough"
I know a lot of you don't care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don't. I've talked to quite a few people that wouldn't switch to Linux because X game doesn't run on it.
Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.
I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2's early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.
Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.
Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends,
Shame.

the only times i've had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won't run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i've heard, doesn't really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don't need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can't wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.
I think one of the games got hacked via their anticheat and we're able to mess around with other players. I don't remember which one it was though. I don't play any of these games so they all blend together for me
Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn't really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn't retain the functionality of my games.
Yeah this is only a win if you don't play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled "why I'll never install Linux"
You can run Genshin Impact on Linux
Huh. GTA online used to work fine? Did they update that?
A few months ago they added BattleEye anti-cheat but didn't enable Proton compat
Genshin and ZZZ have been running fine from the official installer in a Proton Prefix for years now. They use a different anticheat from the two Honkai games for some reason.
Dual boot Bazzite with Windows Ent IoT? Profit?
Quite a few of these games are in geforce now and geforce now has an official linux client now
Yo
Is this the kernel-level spyware list?
Primarily, there are a few EAC games that haven't checked the 'Linux allowed' box yet.
Runs Genshin impact: ✅
Runs the launcher: ❌
It works pretty well on proton. It's just the launcher that doesn't. So you need to update using a VM or windows, then run the exe instead.
It's been a while though, and I haven't tried playing it since before the volcano update. I think star rail is the same, but Honkai Impact 3rd doesn't work, even in VMs
Hell yeah. Solid Dub.
Idc for any of these games. So yeah, Linux wins.
This is how i find out that they broke Apex on linux. Used to run just fine.
Yea they removed Linux support in 2022 or 2023 I think? I used to play a lot with my friends but I’m not installing windows just for that game so they lost me
I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.
Anti-Cheat topic I believe
Runs BF6: ❌
Ah man Xbox got SO close though.
Oh well, soon it won’t run at all…
and it runs mafia the old country, which doesn't have multi player crap or microtransactions, so yeah, absolute win
