Gaming on Linux works for some titles but others just won’t run or have inexplicably low frame rates. It’s the only reason to keep Windows alive.
Thanks for stating your opinion. Mine is different. There are a couple of games - some of which employ anticheat rootkits - that wont run on linux for good reason. If those are more important than owning your device, keeping your data and not being harassed with ads then yes, linux isnt your only system. But you can dual boot and use it for literally anything else.
If you look at https://www.protondb.com/ you will see that the vast majority of games now runs on linux and well too.
You still own your device, just not the software. Once it’s too old to be supported (be it by Microsoft, Apple or whatever software you run) you can still Linux it up.
Or you know, just do it now and put pressure on software devs to support a growing market.
I‘m still a Mac guy, primarily (I’m in a creative job and need the Adobe CC for example and also there are a few conveniences on Mac that Linux doesn’t have yet) but my gaming PC is Linux all the way now. Worked well for any game I’ve tried to play so far.
If you have a pc that does not work without the vendors consent, it is not your device. I get the adobe thing but I hope they get forced to open up to other platforms, maybe through webinterfaces. Apple can get fucked in particular.
Congrats on the gaming pc though.
Macs work perfectly fine with Linux. Apple doesn’t lock down their desktop devices. For their older Ibtel based Macs they even had windows drivers and while they don’t provide drivers for their Apple Silicon Macs, the open source community (particularly the asahi linux project) was quick to reverse engineer them. It’s not perfect yet but Apple isn’t keeping them from getting there and it’s definitely very useable already, should Apple stop first party support. And for now they still have said first party support anyways.
Great thing. Apple still sucks because of how they treat their other products. I have a perfectly functioning ipad3 lte at home which I would have to tether-jaipbreak just to use it as anything but a picture frame.
Oh yea, not defending Apple in general. Love their products but hate their attitude about them.
Just, Apple has so many valid points to be criticized about and yet people often pick the ones that either never were actually true or haven’t been in years.
Is it really so incomprehensible to imagine playing another game?
I mean would you throw away your favorite books because the company that sells them sucks?
I don’t like the analogy, but yes I would actually. There are books I simply don’t get to read because paperbacks are not an option for me and I can’t legally or illegally acquire them without DRM. I have accepted this and choose to read something else. I will not in a million years run out of books to read.
