We are at a stage where games built for Windows actually run better on Linux so this argument will probably not be relevant for too long anymore.

- Novosell 3y agoIf they run at all, that is. The latest update to League of Legends seems to have broken it for all Linux users.
- tyfon 3y agoWoW also crashes randomly every 30 minutes using lutris after the latest update, it's quite annoying. This happens on both my wife and my computer. She has an AMD gpu and I have a nvidia. Otherwise it has been running really well.

- uxp8u61q 3y agoYou mean some games built for Windows run better on Linux (and I'd be curious to know which ones actually run better). Some games barely run on Linux, some just don't work, some get broken by new versions, etc. And computers aren't just for gaming. Some people actually work with their computers. Let me know when photoshop or autocad run smoothly on Linux.
- heyoni 3y agoCyberpunk runs exactly 3fps lower on NixOS than on windows during benchmarks on ultra, with dlss and ray tracing. Totally negligible performance difference but being on Linux is not.
- uxp8u61q 3y agoNot sure how this is supposed to answer what I wrote, but okay, thanks for the information.
- heyoni 3y agoIf a game that runs bleeding edge features on windows can be made to run on Linux, then it’s safe to say that anything can run on Linux. If autocad or photoshop don’t work it’s not because Linux can’t handle it, it’s because the authors of those programs don’t want you to. It’s DRM, every time; not some limitation on what wine can do.
