Yea… you’re probably right. Maybe it’s just the games that I want to play. Those tend to not be Linux compatible (if they’re in steam), and for the games that aren’t even in Steam, I don’t bother trying to make them work in wine or anything like that. Just dual boot and call it a day.
If you use it wrong, sure. There’s a use for almost anything; just gotta figure out what’s appropriate.
Ubuntu is perfect for my non-technical, 76 year old father to run his own plex server where I don’t have to help too much.
I appreciate the info, and willingness to discuss this. I think you’ve been able to identify my point of reluctance around all of this now; it feels like work. When I’m done with work, I don’t want to do more work in order to get my games to play. Might explain why I bought a PS5 in May too.
Maybe I’ll give this some investigation on my next holiday / day off. That way it’ll feel only “kinda” like work.
Interesting… thanks for this. I’ll need to look into protondb more; had not heard of it prior to this.
I was a part of the pre-EA access group for Pantheon so my game isn’t a part of Steam. Is this a Steam specific thing?
Awesome. Salesforce has always been shitty. I wonder how much this will accelerate their decline.
Seems more like about 20% of games. It’s definitely improving but still a long way to go.
I have a Windows PC to play Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen, and more recently Marvel Rivals. We’re still not quite there yet, although it was pretty cool that Baulders Gate worked on Linux.
Nothing wrong with Ubuntu.
Mastodon’s interface creates a self-selection bias of more technically inclined people, and is too dissimilar to twitter for the average user to want to invest time in learning it.
Indeed, I don’t dry those sections.
B, A, C2, C3, C4, C1, D.
I appreciate it; seeing more than a couple of people recommending protondb. I’ll have to investigate it on my next day off from work that’s not a weekend. Thank you.
