Steam and wine has definitely pushed Linux into “good enough” territory for Linux gaming.
I, like you, switched from windows to Linux for gaming. This is the first year I haven’t owned a windows machine. End of an era.
I don’t miss it at all.
- nicce 3y agoBasically the state is getting to be that almost every game exluding some, which require specific anti-cheat engines, will work. In some cases it is just a matter of enabling EAC linux support by game publishers. Future is here!
- Arubis 3y agoThat’s a pretty big “just”, tbh. It would absolutely require the sort of proprietary kernel drivers most distros (understandably!) consider anathema, and I’m not sure game publishers want to shoulder that burden entirely themselves.
- nicce 3y agoIn one sense, the problem is "centralized". Instead that there is a need to fix something special in many games, we can make many games working by fixing selected few entities. EAC has already support for linux, so it should not be impossible.
- Shekelphile 3y agoThere's definitely a lot games that don't run as well as they do on windows despite being generally playable on linux. It's nice to have a dual boot for games like that even if you play the vast majority of games on the linux side.
