Okay fags, the only last way to fucking play your gaming is everytime you want to play games, connect the HDD that has Win 10 and then remove it when you no longer want to play and then use the HDD/SSD for your normal shit

Else, then fucking kill your privacy by not using any personal info like SSN, Credit/Debit card info, etc.

So many fucking /v/'s today for fucks sake

I was missing some 32bit packages (libopenal (provided by sdl), libpangoft2 (gtklibs)) that I found by running "( strace ./steam ) 2>&1 | grep so$" and checking the "file not found" errors.
After installing them, everything is fine. "

>>56783946
well uninstall steam, make sure that you've enabled 32bit packages in your /etc/pacman.conf, then just install steam from the normal repos

>>56783812
Don't forget to only launch it via firejail. It comes with a steam config by default so you literally need to only change "steam" to "firejail steam" when launching to contain any possible malware.

No shit first party valve games and simple indie games run ok, show me something running like fallout 4 or crysis

How hard is it to use high end emulators on linux?

Dolphin, PCSX2, Citra, RPCS3, Xenia, etc?

I've only used Ubuntu and only installed apps through the store in Ubuntu.

This was before Unity when it still used GNOME.

Is this a joke? Those games don't run on GNU/Linux. I named all games that work natively. Rocket League also works fine.

What? Are you serious? Why?

>Clicking an exe and selecting the plugins/settigns you want?

You're cutting out steps. You have to randomly search the web hoping to find an executable for the program you want. When you do install it, chances are it tries to force some unrelated software on you (should be illegal desu but that's beside the point), and then updating it has to either be done by a built-in updater (which often just TELLS you there's an update and links to the site anyway), or you have to check on your own if there are updates and repeat the process from the start.

On GNU/Linux you can commands like the ones I mentioned to easily install most programs and keep them all up to date easily at the same time.

If you don't think it's easier on GNU/Linux, it's because you're treating it like Windows instead of sitting down and learning something new.

For fucks sake, and I was considering upgrading to a new GPU and possibly have Windows 10 on a dual boot setup but fuck I hate Microsoft. They'll do the same thing they always do:

-try to kill the backlash with their paid online stealth marketers
-admit that people don't want this spyware
-either disable it or allow the user to disable it
-wait a year and then force it to always be on via an automatic update

They did this with the forced automatic updates which are now once again forced, and they did it with Cortana that's now always on.

>>56783550
that's not a good sign

Fucking grow up. There's nothing inherently wrong with playing games, but if you accept rigorous violations of your privacy just to be able to play all the games you should kill yourself right now.

You could even get a dedicated machine for gaming that you use for nothing else, but you'd probably have to start paying for the shit you want to play, which means you'd have to get a job (other than flipping burgers)

Just don't go past the anniversary update and your fine.

If your before the anniversary update, you can easily lock down your machine and prevent updates using stuff like spybot antibeacon

>>56784454
this

Steam doesn't "just work" on Arch 64 bits, you have to install the packages, either manually or the "steam-libs" package on AUR and remove the Steam libs. You also have to remove them every time Steam updates because the update will install the libs all over again.

>>56784634
I think you can bypass the deleting part if you run "STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam" on the terminal or on a .desktop file

My email linked to my steam account is @hotmail (yeah it is THAT old)

https://outlook.live.com/owa/languageselection.aspx?url=/owa/?Msg%3d1

I am fucking trapped in that link, I choose my timezone, hit "save" and it takes me back straight to the same place. Why do MS need my timezone in the first place? I just want to see my e-mails

Windows is fucking me over more than Linux to play gayms

>>56784360
I don't really get what you mean. Most of my games work on GNU. I play the games with native support. I don't fuck around with Wine. If you want to discuss performance and such of games that run natively, that's fine, but you're just shifting goalposts every post to games that are locked to Windows.

>>56784634
>Steam doesn't "just work" on Arch 64 bits
wrong

kinda-sorta right, making it use system libs instead of the older steam libs is often required to get steam working

>You also have to remove them every time Steam updates because the update will install the libs all over again.

>they have the best driver and steam support anyway
there's not really a major difference between distros for this

>>56783308
No, you don't need Windows 10 for games. If you've got your heart set on being able to play every PC game ever, it'll be necessary for some of those, but if you're willing to settle for merely a shitload of games, Linux is perfectly adequate. Far from perfect, certainly, but gaming on Linux is definitely doable.

Of course, if it did work on Linux it would stop being kusoge and become patrician as fuck. You idiots are too busy choking on stallman's dick to say otherwise.

>>56783483
No, you will. Microsoft has been pushing the same telemetry to Windows 7 and 8.1 through updates, you bet they'll be pushing this one too.
Add to that, that they're apparently not releasing non-cumulative updates for 7 and 8.1 either, instead shifting over to a monthly cumulative update style like you see on Windows 10. You won't get to pick and choose your updates anymore in the future, it's all or nothing.

>>56785938
No giant faggot kun, if the game requires W10 and can not be played on 7, it is kusoge. I am not even telling you to use Linux. I am telling you to quit being a faggot and caving in to bad publishers. Use 7, I do not care if you use Linux or not, just not 10.
