    Not to rain on the anti windows parade, but he has to install windows to play Tarkov. You cant play it on linux due to anticheat.

      I see this as an absolute win for Linux

      Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.

      Also, his wife must’ve been enthused to see he brought all his “performance upgrades.”

      Because there aren’t 100000000000000 other, much better games to play out there. Nope. Tarkov is the only game ever created that is any good. So good that people are willing to allow rootkit anti-cheat garbageware to be installed on their system to play this holy, godly, superhyper great game.

      I think you can play PvE Tarkov because the raids run on your machine (except for Streets). But if you’re already willing play PvE you might as well play SPtarkov which does work on Linux and has a modding scene that offers a significantly better PvE experience.

      EDIT: just a PSA that Tarkov uses Battleye, which supports Proton. Just like with almost every other game the only reason you can’t play Tarkov on Linux is because the developer doesn’t want to you to do that.
