      I’m surprised I don’t see more discussion here of Apex Legends and how it had Linux support removed!

            Does Vibrant Visuals not use Ray Tracing, or do you mean the RTX mode specifically? If you need specifically the windows 10 version, you could try WinApps or WinBoat, but I’d be surprised if you don’t take a significant performance hit. If graphics in a voxel game are what’s holding you back, I guess the meme is relevant.

        They won’t support Linux unless they have to. As long as people decide to play along with them then they’ll continue to not support it. If you give up this game then eventually Linux will be supported.

        In my opinion, every game worth playing supports Linux. There are way too many games that I don’t have time to play them, so I’ll play the ones that respect their customer’s choices. I’ll ignore the ones that require us to install malware —whether that’s kernel level anti-cheat or Windows.

          No, the issue is that their anti cheat requires a level of control of your computer that Linux doesn’t allow. They could just lower the security, but they instead decided that nobody on Linux could play, apparently thinking that the losses due to cheating would be more than the revenue of 3% more users

          AFAIK, Epic hasn’t enabled anti cheat to work on Linux. Their own anti cheat has native support for Linux, but they themselves don’t want to use it.

            And this is precisely why I won’t bother with the game, they made a conscious choice to exclude Linux when not doing that costs them practically nothing
