some people still believe gaming on linux is done through Wine or some shit like that
the amount of titles that launch for mac/windows/linux at the same time is pretty huge

>>381357014
There is no native Linux port for Dark Souls 3. What do you suggest?
heh
>>381357513
OP is implying linux is a serious gaming solution now, but it still relies on wine for most of the worthwhile games.
>>381357903
Oh shit, it has euro truck simulator 2, based linux.
>>381357943
i know it is hard to believe, but the amount of games releasing on linux is outstanding
this year in particular
>>381353813
Why does overhead matter when all the game also available on linux are either low poly shit or games from 15 years ago that run at 200fps on toasters anyway?
>>381357818

I have some games to finish that are confirmed to not work on linux, but I'm planning to switch soon.

>>381358331

I run a linux box in my room and very few of the games I have work on it. Mostly indie shit.

>what more proof do you need?
The same games available.
Until we can have the exact same games then there's no point in pretending linux is up to par in the gaming front because there's still need to switch to windows to play some games.
>>381356652
Yes, drivers
>not running a 1700x and dual 1070s in linux and having 4 cores and one of the 1070s as passthrough for your windows VM in qemu
>>381359576
i understand your point, but windows 10 is rendering your argument invalid
there is a lot of games not working correctly on windows 10, and the platform is degrading like crazy
and the devs don't care either
they are not fixing windows 10 issues
and microsoft is already deprecating the whole 'Run as Windows old version' system
they are also shoving the Store in there
i am sorry to carry bad news, but you will not be able to run your precious directX 9 games in windows 10+1
>not running on a windows virtual machine on a linux virtual machine on Mac OSX
fucking plebs baka
>>381359840
>but you will not be able to run your precious directX 9 games in windows 10+1
Damn, that's gonna suck after microsoft comes to my house and smashes my windows 8.1 computer with a sledgehammer to force me to upgrade then.
>>381359840
only retards use windows 10
>>381360028
don't worry, man
not being able to update your Internet browser, runtimes, or flash will
>>381360138
Yeah, because you need a browser in your gaming box, and runtimes need to be updated for old games.
Also, flash is not needed anymore.
It's encouraging to see that much progress in such a short amount of time, but it's not near the level that would push to entertain using Linux yet. Once more than 95% of my steam games can work on Linux, I'll be interested.

Unreal engine 4 is cheap easy to port to Linux
it is the same with the last Unity versions
hence the reason everybody is releasing on both systems at the same time
>>381353813
>fps bump
no
Once Vulkan is the norm we will be in the era of the Linux desktop
>>381362652
I heard it was still glitch thanks to denuvo.
>>381362793
But many devs still aren't, particularly Japanese games.
Is SteamOS an actual fully featured system or just some kind of Valve's gutted safe space or games?
>>381356318
/g/ told me to stay away from WD SSD's because they're just re branded San Disk ones and Samsung drives are more reliable.
>>381356391
>Linux
>no overhead
>>381363001
out of the box, it is like an OEM solution
you run the installer, it formats everything, it boots to Big Picture in 10-15 seconds
you can enable a desktop in the menu
and then it lets you jump to a gnome shell while big picture is still running
once you test it for yourself, you realize the humongous Windows 10 overhead
>everyone switches to Linux
>Microsoft tries to get everybody to come back by releasing the MCC on Windows
Many games still require WINE to play which probably will impact performance for many games.
But considering you need to drop most Japanese developed games to play on Linux it isn't worthwhile.
>>381363028
there is nothing other than big picture running
>no desktop

As much as I hate Windows, Companies aren't gonna switch to Linux in droves like most Linuxfags would expect. As long as they favor Microsoft, gaming on Linux is pointless.
I've been using Linux since about 2003. Before Valve brought Steam to Linux, gaming was basically Doom, Quake, Minecraft, emulators, andTux Racerif I didn't want to boot into Windows. I've since ditched Windows and haven't looked back.
>>381365013
You play any Blizzard games? What about EA or Ubisoft games?
>inb4 why would you want to play them anyway
>>381365175
Not that guy but Blizzard games sans Overwatch run perfectly with Wine since they're OpenGL. Overwatch has an OpenGL option but I've never tried it with Wine.
There's also an unofficial official launcher for EVE Online. SWTOR works fine as does GW2 and FFXIV
>>381365175
Only Blizzard game I've played is Diablo II, which works in Wine.
The last Ubisoft game I played was Far Cry 2, which also worked in WIne.
Most of the EA games I wanted to play were played back in my Windows days (SimCIty 2000/3000, Need for Speed High Stakes). Haven't tried NFS on Linux, but the SimCity games are fine (SC2000 has the option of either Wine or DosBox).
>>381365525
>>381365647
Wine is depreciated, just use IOMMU passthrough
This is an extreme generalization but any game with OpenGL can work on Linux. The biggest reason games aren't put on Linux is DirectX. If Vulkan manages to surpass directX then you will start seeing a lot more games released on Linux
>>381365835
Don't you need two graphics cards? Also,
>depreciated
>>381365525
>>381365647
Do you use GPU passthrough for the wine games? Is it easy to setup?
>>381365835
>>381365948
No GPU passthrough for me. I only have one video card.

>>381366137
If you're going to VM Windows, what's the point of even using Linux in the first place? VM solutions sort of defeat the purpose in my view
>fps bump
What an absolutely blatant lie.
>lol winfags
>says the lincuck that can't commit to linux so uses Mint (aka windows lite) and does anything of actual significance on a windows vm, because surprise, FOSS alternatives to popular programs are universally garbage
>>381356318
csgo ran like complete and utter shit last time I tried with linux. fps was sub 120. on windows i get 300 fps at all times. would not recommend.
can someone explain the "no antivirus" maymay to me? is it because the OS is literally immune, or because nobody bothers making virus for it?

>>381366338
>>381366439
You sound like you know next to nothing about using Linux and then were disappointed in your system that you likely put zero effort into learning how to use. Sad!
>>381366365
It's mostly because instead of installing random shit from the internet you have a repo with signed packages. It also helps that linux isn't used by morons who open every attachment in every email they get.
>>381353813
>Japanese porn games does not work on linux

>>381366338
That's funny because if you Google CSGO Linux vs Windows it's practically unanimous that it performs better on Linux. git gud

I enjoy linux for daily use such as browsing and programming, but the hurdles to get csgo functioning at a high enough level to play the game competitively are not worth the effort
>>381366365
The latter. Although there are viruses and exploits just not as common. There's a fairly serious vulnerability called stack clash doing the rounds that all versions of linux are susceptible to, although I think the big distros patched it already.
>>381366439
>not writing your own drivers
>>381366665
Interesting. I saw a reddit thread that has no evidence say Linux performs better, but when I actually look at live benchmarks like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0GMKUWb719k , Linux performs horribly.

WannaCry could hit *nix, you tremendous faggot. SMB wasn't just Windows only.
Besides which, your open-source nature will not fix bugs either because "eh, not important" you're just as insecure as Windows. The only difference is, your shitty OS(es) has a smaller mindshare than Windows. If EVERYONE went *nix, your goose would be cooked and needing anti-viruses as well.

It's complete bullshit anyway.
I only use Linux and I love it. But I have to be honest that there are no big games on it. Nothing like Witcher 3 or similar.
only real problem with GNU/Linux and gaymes is that it's nearly impossible to find cracks for the GNU/Linux versions.
