Guys, I want to completely switch over to Linux full time. However, there is one problem, Linux has no games.
>>
It has sufficient gaymen.
>>
Yes it does. You have emulators and an ever growing selection of native games.
I played Arx Fatalis just yesterday.

I'm glad you're embracing freedom though.
>>
>>60092335
Just get a binkbad for Linux. Install gentoo and migrate over slowly.
>>
>>60092335
However, there is one problem, you have shit tastes
>>
>>60092335
Just game on a console. No room for "muster race" in Linux land.
>>
>>60092335

This is a myth right now.
Linux has more good Games than most Consoles.
Of course it can't come to the level of Windows Gaming because the marketshare just isn't there jet.
>>
you can play most games with wine.
>>
>>60094213
it's pretty amazing how much free graphics drivers and wine have progressed the past few years

one recent example for me is that the other day a friend wanted to have a go with World of Tanks again, which we hadn't played since 2012
in 2012, the game needed a patched version of wine, and ran very slow, with low graphics and i had to use the proprietary nvidia driver

now i'm using an amd card with free drivers, and an unpatched wine, and WoT runs perfectly fine, with high graphics settings and AA

my machine is a bit fast than it was, but much by this much, this was mostly imrovements in wine/drivers

>>60092335
when I switched to linux 9 years ago, I played all my games on linux, but dualbooted to do some of my homework on windows.
>>
>>60094486
But what was the perforamance hit compared to running it in windows?
>>
>>60094512
not sure, have never played it in windows

Depends. Technically PSĀ£+PS4 both use a modified version of FreeBSD. So if FreeBSD Is botnet closed source now. I clearly haven't been keeping up enough then haven't I?

Make one, faggot.

Most non shit games Are for Linux,
and gpu passthrough
>>
>>60095912
Are you fucking retarded? As long as you use an os that doesn't let you configure it fully it's a botnet.
>>
>>60092335
You sound like a 12yo

Linux games that should keep you entertained for a few years:

Civilization VI
XCOM 1 and 2 (repeat in IronMan mode with Long War mod)
Thimbleweed Park
>>
Well, that's not true at all. You can play Dota 2.
>>
>no games
It does have games, but the library is smaller than Windows, they're mostly ports from Windows, and performance is almost always worse. The difference in performance varies between "a little" to like 50%+.

that's like refusing to go to stores because they have security cameras watching you and growing all your food in your backyard instead. no thanks.

I would do the switch gladly any day, but oh man. I need constantly adobe cs/c software for my work. Also the lack of midi support and having to run DAW:s trough wine or something would be frustrating.
