    I did it as long as gaming kept me there. Now I can play pretty much anything on my Linux machine. Forza fucked up. But whatever. It’s a not a game to die for.

    I play FFXIV a lot. On Linux, it seems that Teamcraft does not packet capture, so it won’t autofill my crafting/gathering lists. This is the only thing keeping me from swapping. Sure it’s a tiny thing, but it really helps when I’m just mindlessly gathering in the game.

    A few months ago I installed windows on a spare SSD. It’s only purpose was for modded Skyrim.

    A few weeks ago I accidentally formated that drive. It was only mildly annoying. Then I remembered I was basically done with that playthrough anyways. The SSD still remains unformated XD

    When you’re Canadian, European or basically not a US citizen, that alone should be enough reason not to use windows…don’t give your money to greedy corporate overlords of a dictatorship

      I palayed half life Alex on the Vive when it came out on popos. That said I tried to play it again about 18month later and it was broken; would launch but not load properly. Beat saber has worked for me very consistently, mods are hard to get going but it’s possible.

        I’m using an outdated Samsung headset with the windows mixed reality portal. It’s UI is so far superior to Oculus I have I may repair it for another decade rather than upgrade.

          Yeah, I have not really been liking the direction a lot if headset manufactures are going. I am never going to give meta money if I have a choice.

            They’re legally strong-arming their way into dominating vr and enshitifying it for profit. The future of VR technology that is actually good is not Anerican.

      Actually steam games work well. It’s non steam games and ones with kernel level anti cheat.

          Steam deck is proton using Linux. I have hundreds of games across epic, gog, and steam. They all work just fine except for online games with certain anti cheat shit like what fortnite or gtaV use.

          Epic generally works fine through Heroic launcher. Though I’ve had some occasional problems with Heroic and in those cases Lutris running the Windows Epic Game Store Launcher solved every time. Steam and Proton are still the easiest plug n play though.

    It’s TruckersMP for me because it’s built on .NET libraries and I can’t get truckersmp-cli to load my DLCs for whatever reason :|

      HDR works fine with Plasma (KDE). Regarding MO2, do you think the Nexus Mods app could eventually replace it? They work on a native client that already supports a few games.

    I’m so close to making the switch. I’m just a poor soul though who enjoys games with those annoying anti-cheats. Thinking about trying to do a duel boot just for those specific scenarios.

      Just a PSA, The Finals is playable on Linux and is F2P with a very reasonable monetization (cosmetic only with some free cosmetic options as well) and the new season just began.

      For me it scratches that multiplayer itch because the destructible environments make matches feel very dynamic.

        How it’s the community? I expect a good bit of toxicity with any online but if it’s not flooded with kids like fortnite I’d assume it’s not too bad.

        And what about the mtx? Is it aggressive or annoying?

          I would say the community is much better than what you would expect from Call of Duty or Destiny or anything looking to hit super mainstream. I think most toxic players won’t play the game because the game has a high effective TTK. The average encounter is around probably 1-2 seconds because you usually need to hit more than 5 shots and your opponent has enough time to react and use movement to make them a harder target to hit. The higher TTK may be a deal breaker, it was for a lot of people during launch, but I personally enjoy it.

          I think the MTX is pretty mild. It’s all cosmetic so they don’t impact the core gameplay at all, which means if you don’t care about cosmetics your only interaction with the MTX is the little sale window on the top left of the main menu. You can earn some in game currency to buy cosmetics but because it’s F2P their only revenue streams are the battlepass (which again is also strictly cosmetic rewards or in game currency) and the cosmetic shop. Some things are only for real cash and they can look expensive (like $20 for a pack of cosmetic items) but they usually come with in game currencies so if you’re planning to use the in game currency as well that $20 usually drops to $7-$8 which for 2025 isn’t actually that much. I forgot to mention, the battlepass can be bought for the in game currency so what I’ve done is bought the $20 thingy and the use most of the in game currency to buy the battlepass.

              I think I was rambling a bit. I think the best course of action is to just give it a try because I think the gameplay is the biggest make or break for people. If you don’t enjoy the gameplay then it doesn’t matter if the game isn’t a toxic mess and not really predatory with the MTX.

                I heard about it recently, I think someone said some of the devs from the earlier battlefield games made it. Or were part of the team or something

    I have to keep a spare bootable drive laying around for these muppet companies who only have firmware update mechanisms on windows, my monitor and thunderbolt dock being two that come to mind.

    Fusion 360 for me. Freecads incredibly user unfriendly, openscad is missing functionality and performance, and blender isn’t great for engineering modeling
