I made the switch around this time last year and haven’t looked back. A few things have taken a bit of effort to figure out, but largely it has been a breeze. I should’ve done this many years earlier.

This is why the Linux market is full of ignorant people. Anything with anticheat means no linux. That means every gamer is hog tied to windows.
That’s not strictly true. Most Steam games work just fine on Linux. Even a lot of live service games. Just from the ones I personally play - Overwatch, Elder Scrolls Online, Arknights and Arknights: Endfield have no issues running via Proton even though they all clearly have some degree of anti-cheat.
The real issue is kernel level anti-cheat that some publishers stick to, like Riot.
kernel level anti-cheat isnt even the issue by itself. most of them work on linux just fine but you can configure them in a way to specifically block linux.
Only if you’re into lowest common denominator multiplayer slop.
Again the most ignorant people on the planet also use linux. “Why dont you switch”? This is literally over 1 million people. Most new multiplayer games with anti cheat. Anything that doesn’t have a dev team going out of their way for linux and has anticheat means windows only. Maybe because you’re a trash player I would understand skill issues.
Your social skills have a skill issue
Im talking to autistic people who have no social understanding.
Get away from the mirror.
And here folks is the perfect example of why a huge number of people have absolutely zero interest in playing games like league or fortnight.
Again skill issues. Thats a terrible game as well way too team oriented so you can get held hostage for 20 minutes.
Nope. Missed the point completely. A little introspection will be required, but I’m not holding my breath.
If you’re a Riot fanboy, maybe. Haven’t heard a lot of other new multiplayer games that have issues with Linux.
Ah yes, really mature and thought out argument
Listen anybody that complains about the most popular multiplayer games is usually not good at them usually a projection of their own incompetence. Riot isn’t the only company that exists and they make shitty games. It’s almost like you’re not a gamer if you think and use pop culture games in arguments. Look at protondb anti cheat is a bust and you’re lucky if you can get a game that works with linux.
I guess I’m very lucky because I haven’t found a game I play that doesn’t work yet. Even gacha games, notorious for their anti-cheats and always online requirement, can be run on Linux. I’m afraid the skill issue is on your side.
I just want to point out. Gatcha games is why im going to stop. Keep using the shittiest games as an excuse for your ignorance.
I don’t even understand your argument. Are you arguing for Linux, or against it? You’ve been spouting blatant bullshit like “gamers can’t use Linux” and then doubling down when told otherwise. What exactly am I ignorant of? Your inability to form sentences?
I think the funniest implication here is that he seems to think he is somehow superior to us mere Linux simpletons for playing fucking Fortnite. Or League.
and let’s not forget, he also gets the privilege of having Valorant’s anticheat looking through everything he does on his computer. You know, just in case.
Let’s let that marinate for a moment, because I think that invasive kernel anticheat really is something that people will be kicking themselves over accepting sometime down the road in this, the modern digital panopticon, the dying days of privacy. This individual seems to wholeheartedly and truly believe, that it is somehow the superior, intelligent choice to use an OS that will allow random software companies (that are not your hardware or OS vendor) to take complete control of your computer with the pinky swear they won’t do anything untoward with that access. For a fucking video game. (Sometimes, one you paid actual money for!) Especially now, in the days of forced arbitration clauses and constant corporate data breaches. “no no, guys, you see, you have to let our
malwareanti-cheat have kernel access because we can’t be fucked to actually employ humans to moderate the game nor hire another anti-cheat vendor that actually knows how to detect cheats without getting all up in your OS’s guts” (they do exist, you know)Oh yeah, he’s a genius alright. I shudder in the presence of such brilliance. (no one tell him, it’ll be funnier)
