Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

    He justifiably complained about PVP games having non-Linux-compatible kernel-level anti-cheat.

    I’m tired of people conflating gaming as a whole to extremely mainstream titles that fit into “online PVP with malware anti-cheat” such as Apex Legends, Valorant, and Battlefield, and then bashing Linux for “poor gaming experience”.

    Their experience with titles they enjoy is very valid, as valid as any other, but it’s not the entirety of gaming and OS experience, at all. There’s tons of games that run extremely well on Linux, even out of the box, no tinkering required, both on Nvidia and AMD hardware.

    Grrr.

      Personally, I find the Linux incompatibility with games that want to do shit to the kernel a plus so I don’t accidentally install one without realizing it comes with malware.
