Not to mention the main functional part: proton doesn't only work on SteamOS

>But yet, it seems like the majority of Linux users have nvidia anyway.
Probably becouse it's more popular among windows users, so when most people switch to linux from Windows, they use the hardware they already had, which more often than not includes an nvidia GPU
@Brkdncr
It's not just hate for edge (though tbth I *do* hate edge) but a hate for not being allowed to control the software that runs on our devices
Also Microsoft got in legal trouble for shoving a browser down everyones throats before, and clearly learned nothing

At the very least you'll probably be able to get a refurbished one later for cheaper

Unfortunately my phone is not rootable (every phone I get from now on I'm gonna do more research on first to make sure I don't make that mistake again) but otherwise yeah that's amazing
@mossy_capivara
I'm making sure to install my favorites before the end of the year
@shapis
I'm gonna keep using fedora for now, largely becouse I don't want to go to the effort to set certain things up all over again, but I'm at least paying enough attention to what's going on that if they do something I see as to far I'll switch
Still not sure what too though
And to add my experience, that doesn't even work 100% of the time, if it did I probably would still be using windows
>and then to mean non-Apple computers
I call Macs PCs to this day becouse of those ads

@leninmummy
This is another one of those things I've heard about but not experienced, I use my computer every day and haven't had any issues in over a year at this point
But... Grayjay has a peertube plugin...
Though I'm not sure how well it works

If that *is* the case, then the Deck probably still contributes indirectly, at least in my case I switched a few months before the Deck started shipping, but after it was announced
And while I was slightly familiar with linux and interested in switching before, the Deck made it so that I felt safer and more confident doing so

To bad there's no app to turn your phone itself into a live USB, I would have loved that a few months ago

Functionally it's a laptop with a controller built in instead of a keyboard, plug it in to a dock with a keyboard and mouse, and even an external monitor, and you have a linux computer
@TropicalMustafa
@ReakDuck
That very much depends on what you want to play, here's a convenient link to help determine if the game at least has linux compatible anti cheat (gets updated regularly)
@sirsquid
It's like a constant game of whack a mole, with valve trying to make it work and EA trying to make the app reflect the rest of their company
@fadingembers
So the company x social that existed before the muskrat bought twitter then, right?
@GnuLinuxDude

@Andonyx
Agreed on all points, I didn't end up finally switching to linux until I got so fed up with the auto update caused issue I was having that I just got rid of windows entirely
And while I at first switched to Ubuntu, I wouldn't be happy until a few months later when I landed on fedora with KDE
@Zeus
@ActualShark
Agreed, the one issue I had with steam (trying to get ALVR to work over a year ago) only happened with the flatpak version
> Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading
That's one complaint I *do* have sense switching to linux, I wish that there was a linux version of vortex (or MO2 or what have you) so that modding can be made relatively simple for more than just a few games that have easy workarounds
@raccoon @Triage8420@lemmy.ml @linux_gaming
I put xfce on a garbage laptop for my parents (who are used to much older windows) and they loved it, the laptop ended up breaking eventually but that was a hardware issue and they regularly ask me when I'll be able to replace it
Couldn't agree more, I even got it working on an old phone at one point

If the game has anti cheat look here https://areweanticheatyet.com/

Some games do run better some don't, I wouldn't call it most but it's not an insignificant amount either
@HughJanus
Legitimately don't remember the last time I *had* to use a terminal to install a program in linux, I pretty much just click to install everything using KDE's Discover store, except for things I download off github which often come as appimages which are practically the same as windows executables in terms of ease of use

Ah yes, windows users googling drivers, that *never* caused them to accidentally download a virus, right?

I love valve, but I'm not sure I'm comfortable turning them into such a key way to get software on Linux
@TrustingZebra
Iirc windows can open archives without an external program now, even tarballs, so that's something...
Not that I plan on using modern versions of windows if I can help it, but still
@InternetCitizen2
@basxto
I'm not entirely sure that that's how it works, cause if it is my GOG copy of hollow knight has quite a lot more DRM than is normally accepted of that platform by their users
@hardcoreufo
>any civ 1-6 all run perfectly
Can you give more detail on this? Specifically how if you have any experience getting civ 2 to run? The only way ive managed to get it to run any time in the past few years was through a win 3.11 VM (even modern windows)
Actually more importantly I want destiny of the doctors working (a win 95 game) but I've had no luck so far

Thank you for giving me more reasons to play with termux
@dlove67
Honestly considering his history with Microsoft he probably had a good laugh when he found out they wanted to buy Valve
