  • No one from linux here is spanking you for not using linux. you are being spanked for not knowing how an app like steam works. i would kick your ass just the same for posting on a windows forum for not knowing that you can add non steam games to steam. hell I’ve installed non games on steam. just exe. you dont need a specific OS to do that.

    And not denying you to play specifically battlefield but theres probably double the pvp games over what isnt playable on linux that is playable on linux. Or just dual boot for the (only 3 gamesyouabsolutelyneedwindowsfor)… you dont want that? fine. you do you.

    i personally wouldnt throw an os out over one game when i have 5 others that are easily playable on there to just try it out. so i dont know why you have such shade just over someone who does use linux.

    We really are quite literally spoiled on choice in this day and age with games given there’s console wars aside from all this pc bickering we’re here doing.

    but to each their own. go back to your pretending to be starving for choices. poor you. there there i guess.




  • Then perhaps you’re overthinking it. that is not uncommon for tech types BTW. I’ve seen more inefficient program code from so called ‘geniuses’ than anything and I just can’t help put my head in my hands whenever they go off like you are rn.

    Kuz a child or boomer grandparent could easily run ubuntu and probably never ever have to call IT unless something actually physically busted on their puter. Linux is smart enough to tell them what is wrong.

    The fact it told me clear errors such as a drive has days before it’s toast was an amazing experience after working blind in windows. Someone computer illiterate could just haul their box and throw it at the geek squad and just tell them to hook up a new drive.

    Unlike windows: ‘it broke. Go fish.’.





  • what youre saying is important and true in certain cases, yes. In mine it took me 2 months to adapt my brain and tweak linux to the point it is now working like a well oiled machine.

    however my needs were very explicit being that i was building a simulation machine (not AI) i even had it planned down to hardware spec regarding cores, chips and ram for a very specific task outside average gamer use.

    your average user might just need a basic game box (they could even just reuse a crap box and itll run. thats the beauty of linux. ) and throw some mint on it which does work pretty much out of the box and with steam you might need some light configuring.

    EG: just editing the launch command in general tab when you right click the game:

    SteamDeck=1 %command%

    or install gamemode and then: gamemoderun %command%

    for some games especially old ones you might need to just swap around which proton you use(in compatability menu)

    most games dont need any of this as the proton GE updates to iron out all the compatibilty.
