Depends on the game

Steam for Linux's library is growing each year

PlayOnLinux works pretty well though, games like Rocket League work flawlessly with it

FPS isn't generally an issue

Why not just setup a Win7 partition for gaymen?

>>56218352
the only game you need is checkers and hangman.

>>56218370
Would that work? I've thought about doing a dual boot system configuration, I'd use Linux as my main OS, then use Windows for gaming but I've heard that can be glitchy as fuck.

>>56218352
>gaming
I feel sorry your professor has to deal with children like you

>>56218415
it shouldnt be glitchy. It's literally a separate install like having 2 HDD"s with 2 separate OS's and swapping the HDD when you want the other.

>>56218415
Just install Windows before installing linux and you'll be fine

>>56218370
What about more recent games? I know a guy that have had a mental breakdown trying to get Witcher 3 to run on Linux.

>>56218352
Custom XBoxes that cost as much as a used car belong on >>>/v/

lmao i don't know i haven't played a game less than a year old in years since years

>>56218426
I actually partially agree with you, hence why I asked here and not him. He'd never let me live it down.

>>56218466
Man, like 90% of my tech class games at least casually. Don't be IT snobs /g/

>Windows 7.
>Not 8.1

>>56218352
Install Linux on a virtual machine

>>56218352
I'm currently triple booting. Works fine and I've never had an issue with the GRUB bootloader. I have Kubuntu as my main OS, Kali for pentesting, and Windows 8.1 for gayming. Works flawlessly.

>>56218540
who wants a big ass start screen

if you install one of the programs which give you a fake version of the old one then why would you be using 8.1 instead of 7 in the first place

>>56218493
i do game casually but it's usually on a console

>>56218415
>glitchy as fuck
no

>>56218352
Install it in a VM. If you have W10, install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

>My IT professor keeps pressuring me to install linux
he wouldnt happen to be a /g/tard would he?

>>56218415
depends.. One year ago, a win updates some mysterious way fucked up the boot partition (but that was more or less my fail anyway)
