Reverse ModuleOne OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, one OS to bring them all and in the light bind them.
tsonfeirThis is really just going to make Apple more sales and cripple the PC gaming market.
Then, Apple will do it and… maybe that will be the year of Linux desktop? 😉
PrincessZeldaManifesting this outcome right now
Linux Gaming is now a truly viable force thanks to Steam. The PC Gaming market will be fine without Windows.
GanbatExcept it’s still hell for online games with anti-cheat. Just about every month, another article comes out about “Linux players unable to launch…” or “Linux players banned from…”
Valve is actively funding alternatives to those anti cheats and also working with them to get Linux supported. Its just not happening overnight.
camr_onIdk, I see this argument every time this discussion comes up but I’ve yet to experience anti cheat issues. I don’t think they don’t exist but it’s been extremely smooth sailing for me
Idk, but I know the last time I saw it happen was just under two months ago, with Apex Legends. IIRC, they never reversed those, either.
anti-cheat software will adapt, or it will die. I will personally never use a game with an anti-cheat that has full kernel access.
Both easy anticheat and battle eye have support for Linux native and proton, it’s just down to the developers of games to enable it
Without windows more developers would likely enable support
DancingIsForbiddenAs much as I hate being bled to death by subscription services, It would probably still cheaper to subscribe to windows for a whole decade than buy an apple computer outright for the same amount of time.
The majority of Linux users aren’t in it because it’s free (as in free beer) anyway, and most broke gamers will likely continue to just pirate windows regardless.
