Games on linux Anonymous 2017-01-02 01:31:45 Post No. 58285354 [Report]

Hi /g/. I just got a new laptop. I only have one PC at a time and it has to be a laptop, so I play games on it too. It's an amd with a nice radeon and it goes very well for what I want it to do.

It comes with win10 preinstalled - Last night I just got introduced to Microshit and CIA's new we-boot-your-pc-when-we-want-to "feature" so enough is enough. I'm installing Linux this week and, if everything works as it should, deleting this huge spyware of an "OS".

Do you think Linux will run my games well, or will I have to keep a dualboot (probably win7)? Nothing too bleeding edge mind you. AMD card and AFAIk it's supported by the open source drivers.

All I need for work are open source programs (freelancer here) so that's not an issue. So wwyd? Thanks for the replies if any.

>inb4 Windows can be good
no it can't. Take that shit elsewhere.

If you can't figure out how to survive without a paymaster that's your fucking problem, not mine. Next.

Steam has lots of paid distractions. Alternately there are plenty of free board game engines. Old Loki games (circa early 2000s) can be pirated.

Maybe you'd have fun writing your own game? It'd improve your programming and math chops. What kind of freelance work do you do?

I, personally, dualboot with Win7. To play DOOM, BFG Armada and some other win-only games. Thanks to my distro and SSD meme, it takes two clicks and 20 secs to reboot. Native games I play on Steam.
