Ah man Xbox got SO close though.
Oh well, soon it won’t run at all…
What’s wrong with Rainbow Six Siege? Theres a kot of annoying players, but I find the game okey-ish.
Last time I played it, the game felt like Rainbow Six x Call of Duty. It is a shell of what it started out as.
I have faith in the general independent Linux developer landscape that eventually most all games will become compatible, whether AAA Devs want them to be or not.
Dual boot Bazzite with Windows Ent IoT? Profit?
Genshin and ZZZ have been running fine from the official installer in a Proton Prefix for years now. They use a different anticheat from the two Honkai games for some reason.
Does that mean that Honkai games still can’t be played on Linux? There goes my idea of giving Star Rail a try.
Linux runs Resident Evil 9. It just doesn’t run these because they aren’t real games.
Quite a few of these games are in geforce now and geforce now has an official linux client now
I still can’t believe league of legends won out. I thought Heroes of Newerth was more fun back in the day.
Um, acktchuailley Linux can run Genshin through An Anime Launcher.
I imagine Linux can run most of those. Odds are the OP just didn’t try hard enough.
What is completely understandable.
No, all of them have Anticheat. Some may work up to and including the main screen or a few seconds of gameplay, but not further.
Anti cheat doesn’t mean something doesn’t work with Linux.
Kernel Level Anticheat does. Which is obviously what I am talking about, in the context of AAA shooters.
I’ve experienced myself that GTA:O, Fortnite and Apex don’t work. LoL is famous for not working, same with R6. They’re all shooter games after all.
Now:
Fortnite works - with a custom server. The point of even playing something like Fortnite is the large playerbase to fill games with dozens of players, and using custom servers basically nulls that, but it’s technically an option…
Genshin works (although you might just get banned)
R6 just doesn’t work.
Destiny 2 neither.
Same with Apex.
GTA:O doesn’t work with public sessions since Enhanced. It does work with workarounds for all players and therefore an invite-only session. So it’s not really the original GTA Online anymore, but tbh nobody cares abt that, everyone just chills in private lobbies and/or plays RP.
LOL also just doesn’t work.Rocket League works perfectly fine with BattlEye and is expected to work perfectly fine when it switches to Easy Anti-Cheat on Linux. The issue isn’t the anti-cheat. Its the developers’ implementations.
Some anti cheat either didn’t work well with Linux or is specifically intended to be incompatible with Linux.
I’ve played Genshin Impact just fine on my Steam Deck using An Anime Launcher.
No, it can’t.
The virgin BF6 ❌
The chad Insurgency Sandstorm ✅
R6S doesnt work in windows either (if virtualized).
Since when did GTAO stopped working on linux tho? Did it introduce an anticheat as well?
I can’t get any Unity games to run in Steam.
Epic win.
This is honestly a skill issue though
Unpopular opinion: these memes always have ‘I am very smart’ energy on Lemmy. The issue is that these companies should support Linux not that your personal taste in video games means it’s a good thing that they don’t.
I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort. So I haven’t switched. My best friend has switched and made the changes necessary and is forever troubleshooting issues.
I agree with you that these memes are a little silly, but I also agree with the overall point that it’s actually good that these games don’t run on Linux. It has nothing to do with my personal taste in these games though, and everything to do with privacy violations via kernel-level anticheats, and getting people addicted via dark patterns like microtransactions, gacha, and FOMO-inducing battlepasses.
I built a computer for my uncle and his kids and installed Linux on it. My cousin wanted to play Fortnite, and I tried to pitch it to him as a feature instead of a bug. But a couple weekends ago, I caved and installed dang Windows 11 for him.
You caved to the megacorps immense pressure on kids to recruit and devulge their friends and peers desires so that the hypercapitalist pedo lords can Harvest them D: with knowledge that this goes on? Based.
I realized that I’m not going to win him over by being a jerk about it. Sometimes, all you can do is give people the space to come to the right conclusion themselves.
I realize it’s too late now, but as I’ve posted before on Lemmy: you can “run” Fortnite on Linux well enough by using a game streaming service like Luna or GeForce Now. It’s the only game I run that way on my PC and only because my kids enjoy teaming up with me in BRs.
I mention it because it seems like most people aren’t aware it’s an option (even on Windows, if you want to avoid rootkits on your system). Not for everyone, but you can technically stick to your principles/security and still play (some of) those kinds of games.
Proceed with sanctimonious bellyaching below:
Oh neat, I hadn’t even thought of that! I think it’ll be a hard sell to switch him back, but I’ll keep this option in mind. I’m just hoping he grows out of it haha.
My brother has been interested in switching to Linux but he’s into those kind of games too. I’ll recommend him to try it out!
The neat thing is he can try it before switching from windows to see if it’s something he’s cool with. When I first started using Luna there were random input lag spikes but I haven’t had that problem in months. The only real downside is sometimes it seems like my voice/chat settings get reset (I like to turn off voice and text chat because toxicity).
It’s a meme, I don’t think folks are meant to view this as something other than ironic.
No, no, no - this is all wrong. I don’t consider you a person unless you self-flagellate at the terminal daily, compiling from source in dependency hell while being cleansed by the vim fires at the altar of Tux.
This species of Linux user reminds me quite a lot of Catholics.
I read that as “self-felate” and was impressed and horrified that people were that flexible while using the terminal.
Lol, is that what you tell yourself every day to justify staying with Windows? Do you convince yourself by imagining Linux users suffering?
I do not use Windows
And I don’t use the terminal every day and install apps from the application manager.
If you have chosen a distro that forces you to use the terminal or install apps from source code, that’s your choice, not a condition for all Linux users.
You’re shadowboxing with a nonexistent Linux user. People do that kind of stuff as a hobby, not for status. Most people who are into that sort of thing are too asocial to use any social capital they might have anyway.
These people exist, I run into them here and elsewhere. one of them just replied to my comment.
My particular taste in video games is that they are not predating on my kernel bitch whatafuck is wrong with you they should not be allowed to do that
Pre dating? Can’t go somewhere and have fun? Is that a crime now?
Back in my day™ you could go somewhere, have fun and possibly hook up with someone from that thing years later. The lesbians are still doing it. But noooooo you zoomers ruined everything!
Leave your kernel alone!
I am a 40yo lesbian and English is not my first language
It’s a pun.
Uhh… no… no it’s not.
I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort.
Anything that isn’t a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.
So, the software that runs the features on my mouse and headset run on a VM. Then I play the games in the base OS with those features like software driven surround sound?
This is actually similar to the situation I came across with my friend. “Everything works 100% it’s crazy!” Sweet! How’d you get the customisable mouse buttons working? (He has the same mouse as me) “There are extra mouse buttons? Oh, there are! I never noticed. No, they don’t work anymore”. 😑
So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.
Next time you buy hardware look it up. Once you’re on stuff that’ll work in Linux you should be able to jump over easily then.
So it’s not software that doesn’t work but hardware that’s weird then? Sure, makes sense.
It’s a gaming mouse (I’m guessing you’re unfamiliar) with customisable buttons. The buttons work best with the software and the software doesn’t work natively on Linux, as previously mentioned.
I wish Linux was seamlessly transitionable but you seem to be saying that I should change to suit Linux. The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.
The “you’re holding it wrong” of open source software.
Eh, not really dude. Linux cannot possibly account for each and every unique hardware combination that is put to market – some of which are being invented as I type this sentence.
Some hardware is written with firmware that falls outside of standards and specs and some hardware producers are actively hostile to people providing support for their hardware on alternative platforms. Computer hardware and peripherals are a huge market with lots of players. I’m saying if Linux support is important to you, then make it part of your evaluation criteria when you buy new hardware. Or don’t if it isn’t.
Linux doesn’t have significant enough consumer market share to pressure hardware manufacturers into providing support for them, and it also is a free operating system – not one helmed by a massive multi-national corporation that can use billions of dollars to pressure hardware manufacturers into following their whims.
It’s a meme. Old one, too.
Gatekeeping “uhmm actually I only play artisanal games delivered exclusively to a single person” is bad and must be spoken out against. And Lemmy sucks on that front.
What about Source Engine games?
Source 2 S&Box…
Warframe - Linux: ✅️
Conclusion, Linux wins.
This is how i find out that they broke Apex on linux. Used to run just fine.
Anti-Cheat topic I believe
I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.
Yea they removed Linux support in 2022 or 2023 I think? I used to play a lot with my friends but I’m not installing windows just for that game so they lost me
