Linux is great and a lot of progress has been made on the gaming front lately. However, if you want to play all the latest AAA titles at their highest fidelity, there's no choice but to use Windows.
- vaylian 5y agoThere's a decent chance that this will change with the upcoming steam deck: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/faq https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/steamdeck/faq Valve is working together with AAA publishers to get better Linux support.
- bserge 5y agoTruly an amazing development. I hope the Steam Deck is popular enough.
- tpxl 5y agoFirst orders start shipping december 2021, current orders start shipping after Q2 2022, so I'd say it's pretty popular.
- creshal 5y agoThe development of Proton has already changed it a lot, the progress is really impressive.
- pjmlp 5y agoYou mean the same AAA publishers that publish games on Stadia and Android?
- creshal 5y agoYes, and? Computers are so much more than gaming devices, it makes no sense to restrict yourself just by that one facet. Or should I use a PlayStation as my main computer just because it has exclusive titles I like?
- fletchowns 5y agoNobody said anything about only using a computer for gaming. It's just that for many of us, gaming is the only reason we're still running Windows at home on our desktop computers.
- creshal 5y agoJust treat it like another game console, then, if you think that Windows is inferior for all other purposes.
- sundvor 5y agoI use Linux daily on Win 10. WSL2 is a game changer.
