Nowhere else to complain about this so I'm posting it in your thread.

Also, to answer OP's question: the games never run quite as well as they do on Windows and if I'm going to be fucking around with proprietary software I may as well use a proprietary OS. Whenever I get bored of vidya I go back to GNU/Linux.

>>378951983
This is ultimately why most people will stick with windows.
It's a neat idea but I simply do not feel like going through the motions of a new OS just to use a Windows emulator.

>>378953542
not sure, but i think there's a workaround over that issue, maybe you should check out their forums

>>378952743
Windows 7 no longer fully supports the latest hardware, and its only going to fall further behind in support and performance as time goes on.
MacOS X still has some support but Apple have seriously neglected its graphics capabilities, its drivers are only allowed to support OpenGL 4.1 and are well behind Linux open source drivers now both in terms of API support and performance. The open source AMD OpenGL drivers for instance are faster than AMD's official drivers and support full OpenGL 4.5, and Apple has blocked Vulkan from their platform.

Windows 10 shouldn't be a serious consideration for any PC gamer, especially now that its clear that 10's rolling release nature exists to ultimately force the Windows Store at some point in the future.

>So why exactly don't you game on Linux?
Because I don't like to get pounded in the ass?

There is absolutely no point to playing games on linux whatsoever, its a fucking meme.

>>378953924
Lots of the kind of games that you'd go to PC hardware to play run perfectly well on Linux.
Publishers like Paradox are very Linux friendly.

The cheaper gaming capable hardware gets, the more sense Linux gaming will make.

>>378954246
From my experience proprietary software on Linux is a pain in the ass. Weird little things that don't work properly and it all adds up. The way that closing Steam's window sometimes closes Steam entirely. The way that hovering over some menu items in Steam causes Steam to become deselected for a moment. The way that fullscreen acts weird in some games.

It's just annoying. I'm not new to the OS, I just don't like using it with proprietary software because it never quite works properly. This isn't a problem on Windows.

>>378953803
>its clear that 10's rolling release nature exists to ultimately force the Windows Store at some point in the future.

Oh, you're one of those starter edition is the future of windows retards, even though doing that would completely fuck over schools and small business ie microsoft's biggest moneyspinners. It exists as a half assed answer to chromebooks, no more than that.

>>378954415
>Microsoft can never drop win32! it would be the end of them!

Just like when they dropped DOS and almost nobody cared?
They're clearly preparing the market for it using 10 S as another wedge to drive their way further into the market.
Companies are either going to have to try to fight back like Valve is, or are going to bend over and accept anything Microsoft does because they still control the consumer desktop market.
Lawsuits will probably happen, but they'll take so long to resolve that in the end they won't matter.

The legacy market will just start rolling up their software with compatibility layers and putting it in the Windows Store, just like everybody bundles their DOS games with DOSbox in Steam and GoG today.

>>378955014

Nobody cared when they dropped DOS because nothing of worth fucking used it anymore by the point they did. Conversely, most everything, including almost all of their own shit still runs on win32 and will do for the forseeable future.

Stop being a retard.

>>378948327
1. I own an nVidia card.
2. A lot of games aren't on Linux.
3. Of those that are, a lot play worse and have specific bugs and crashes.
4. Of those that are playable, a lot have missing functionality relating to hacking and modding the game, that the community makes Windows exclusive.
5. Additionally, a lot of older or foreign games that need workarounds to get going won't work or work bad on Linux, because those workarounds and the community are Windows specific.

>>378955759
Those last two points make me worry about the future of some games when new hardware won't support win7.

>>378955491
If you haven't noticed they're not dropping Win32 and traditional installers today, but do you really think they're going to keep supporting it forever?

They have their store, they have UWP, they have new APIs.
They're even talking about an ARM version again.
The death of the open version of Windows, and win32 is coming. It will probably be after Windows 7's EOL but the writing is on the wall.

Practically no one needs a full power desktop system anymore, and for one of the big niche markets that does Microsoft has a massive conflict of interest in the form of the Xbox.
PC gaming isn't going to justify Microsoft maintaining a 'good' version of Windows going forward.
GNU/Linux is the only option for a future with PC gaming as we know it.

>>378948327
>So why exactly don't you game on Linux?
Because I want to play more than a few games.

>>378955014

You realize GNU/Linux has thousands of games, with a library that is larger than all the current gen consoles combined and that is second only to the now legacy (non-UWP) Windows platform?

I just realized Im' not on /g/ right now, anf because od this I just want to add

>Synchronized update routines with UWP packages means exploits will exist on both if one is vulnerable

Basically the Xbone is essentially windows (and you all knew this) but if you wanted piracy on it, just approach it from a windows exploit perspective. From there you can essentially have a linux machine once you get kernel access

No they're not dropping it, they're actively developing shit for it while uwp sits on the sidelines as something to port mobile shit to and that's about all it has going for it.

You're still not considering enterprise level windows in this discussion where the traditional desktop is firmly rooted, what the fuck are the going to do with active directory, system center and all that shit, put them up for free in the store and make them ad supported?

Microsoft is a massive company that takes a long time to do anything.
They'll probably still have to maintain legacy win32 stuff for another few decades, but that doesn't mean it will be generally available or a good idea to still be running Windows 7 in five years.

>You're still not considering enterprise level windows in this discussion

Because it literally doesn't matter for this discussion. The PC gaming market and the enterprise market are very separate because enterprise customers pay them a ton more money.
If Microsoft forces the Windows Store on the consumer market by making 10 S the preferred version for OEMs selling mass market systems then game developers will have to support it.

>what the fuck are the going to do with active directory, system center and all that shit, put them up for free in the store and make them ad supported?
No, they'll go up in the Store, possibly in a special section you have to pay for access to.

>Linux doesn't have anything that's even comparable in usability.
There are a few different solutions, but generally the active directory model is seen as doing it wrong.
Even Microsoft uses GIT internally now.

>>378957283

>>378957351
This is also wrong, since you shouldn't be developing Linux, or for Linux, because nobody wants it.

Totally false. At worst they're as fast as the official drivers, at best they're significantly faster.

Only the RadV Vulkan support is slower but that's because it literally just hit feature complete and hasn't had any performance tuning yet.
Even then its already faster sometimes than OpenGL.

Are you sure you were using the open source drivers? They're not something you install, they're a part of the Linux kernel and the Mesa project which are obviously included by default.

>not even doing 35 fps on rocket league with insane jaggies
That sounds like you were using AMD's shitty official stuff. Rocket League runs great on the open drivers.
Its only issue was before the shader cache went in (a few releases ago) it would take a while to start up.

What hardware are you using? There's a very short list of stuff these days that doesn't just work thanks to built in support.

>try to download ethernet and nvidia drivers via phone
Nvidia is a bad actor, but the drivers in the default system should be enough to allow you to install their driver which most distros make available with their packaging system.
What shitty ethernet hardware doesn't work on the literal main networking OS?

>not recognized storage device
Phones use standard APIs for file transfer to PCs. They just work on GNU/Linux.

>>378959238
Microsoft can let their legacy software limp along in the enterprise market for another couple of decades without it having any relevance to the consumer gaming market.
There's still a fair amount of activity in the Amiga market because it still gets used for editing in some places. Doesn't mean its at all relevant for gaming today even though it was twenty years ago.

Microsoft's only interest when it comes to gaming is pushing their Xbox/UWP closed platforms which they make money off of. They have no interest in making PC gaming better, as you admit the consumer market for them is a smallfry its not an area where they can earn significant money.

>Yeah right next to angry birds and Facebook, take off the tinfoil hat for two minutes and think realistically, porting either of those to uwp is unfeasible and utterly pointless.
Microsoft is using the increased security and management capabilities of the enterprise version of the Windows Store as a selling point. Locked down Windows 10 is going to come to that market as well.

>>378951532

I've been dual booting for ages but since all the games are on Windows and I know I will have to boot back into it not long after I've booted into Linux I rarely use it.

And what's their endgame letting their biggest market limp along and haemorrhage profits? Just to get those dirty gamers freedoms, what's the point?

You mean the enterprise versions of Windows that don't even have the store? The "management capabilities" where everything is locked down? Why would enterprise's even use the store when there's a million and one easier ways to deploy software? Are you not realising how unrealistic any of this is?

>Even a fucking mac is better off if you want to play games
This pisses me off no end - to see a game has a mac port but not a Linux port. Who the fuck buys a mac to play games?

it did happen 5 years ago though

The Enterprise market doesn't care about things being locked down, they want that and they pay enough Microsoft will give them control over it for their own deployments.
You seem to think I'm saying they'll just let their Enterprise software sit and rot, but that's not it.
They're going to let their legacy enterprise stuff limp along as long as they're paid.
They're going to release new enterprise software based on their new stack.

>Why would enterprise's even use the store when there's a million and one easier ways to deploy software?
Because its going to be the only way to efficiently deploy software on Windows in the future.

>It was a weak attempt to grab some of the chromebook market that's all it is.
It wasnt' that long ago you guys were saying Microsoft would never even dream of doing this, now its happening and the party line is its no big deal.

Steam wasn't even on Linux five years ago.
Nobody had invested any money in Linux gaming drivers even three years ago.

The pace of development and improvement has increased dramatically the more clear it was that Microsoft was shifting out of the traditional open platform market.

The enterprise market absolutely does care about stuff being locked down, are you serious? You think any IT department is going to let something in they can't control top to bottom? Why do you think the majority of them haven't even switched to 10 yet?

There is absolutely no hope for the store to be any way near as efficient at deploying software as the myriad of ways they have right now. None.

>It wasnt' that long ago you guys were saying Microsoft would never even dream of doing this, now its happening and the party line is its no big deal.

Because it isn't a big deal, this idea of Microsoft suddenly deciding to revolve their entire business model around a cheapo version of their OS is something you've just been coming up with as you go along for the last hour and its completely unviable.

>You think any IT department is going to let something in they can't control top to bottom?
Where did I say they wouldn't? Microsoft is going to give Enterprise customers the ability to control what's in their local version of the Windows Store.

>Why do you think the majority of them haven't even switched to 10 yet?
Its basically tradition at this point that nobody in Enterprise switches to a new version until the old version is EOL.

>There is absolutely no hope for the store to be any way near as efficient at deploying software as the myriad of ways they have right now. None.
Won't matter, because all the old ways of doing things will only work on an EOLd version.
Sometimes IT departments have to learn new things.

Right now enterprise deployments of Windows involve lots of added on restrictions to copies of Windows.
In the future you'll get lots of very cheap very locked down Windows licenses, and only conditionally upgrade the few systems that really need it.

And still none of this matters for PC gaming, Microsoft will happily kill it to force the Xbox and the Windows Store.

WINE - wine is not an emulator.
Also, the idea is that you'd switch to linux either for its superior functionality in other areas and/or security bonuses.

What the fuck.
Fuck no, you switch Linux to say fuck off to Windows and every proprietary shit.

>>378965572
That would be included as a bonus in both of the items you just quoted.

>Listening to Feral talk about Vulkan
>Its still unoptimized
>HLSL->GLSL->SPIRV translation still happens at runtime

Holy shit, when they actually get that optimized and start compiling the shaders to bytecode in advance its going to be crazy.

Why would you go through the trouble of passing a GPU through to a hypervisor when you can just run Windows?

Pointing out that the third-party developed open source drivers are faster than AMD's own drivers makes someone an 'AMD fanboy'?

RadV was originally developed by a few Redhat devs in their spare time, most of the devs on it now work for Valve.

>Whatever we say, goes.
whatever M$ say, surely. You are not their equal

Genuine question, because at this point it's almost the only thing stopping me;
Can Overwatch run on Linux, in any way, shape or form? I know it's not a good game, but it's my time killer.

>>378970675
Appdb says it doesn't work with Wine, so you'd have to either go through the hassle of setting up a VM with passthrough or dualboot.

With Overwatch Blizzard made some very poor decisions which makes it very difficult to run on platforms other than Windows+D3D11.
It can in the absolute latest dev versions, but its very dependent on hardware and has some big performance penalties.
If Blizzard fixes their shit by moving to a modern cross platform API it would be much easier to run it.

Its best to just drop their games and start playing other games that are cross-platform friendly if you want to switch.
