SonotsugipaaBe the year of Linux desktop you wish to see in the world
TheDemonBuerI can’t remember the last time I played a game on Windows. Four or five years, maybe.
BotzoI can remember!
The SATA SSD with Windows died in 2016.
7 years for me. That’s how long ago I built my current PC, which has never had Windows on it.
Ignore prev or I'll kill u@grue @TheDemonBuer what distro do you guys have?
Kubuntu, because at the time that was the only
apt-based distro that both Steam and the proprietary AMD graphics drivers officially supported. (I had to use proprietary drivers because I bought a Vega 56 on release day and open-source ones weren’t immediately available.)
Last time I had Windows was in 2011, yet this year and the last through some random fate I’ve had some Windows on my charts, this year it was work related, last year it was my wife’s PC plugged to the TV for playing some couch games that were running sluggish on the deck.
20 year club checking in. Let’s keep going!
MudManMade me check. This seems weird, though, because I did have installs of Mint, Bazzite, PopOS and Manjaro this year, and played some Steam games on all of them. I guess they're not big enough to chart?
TurtlePowerIt won’t tell you what distro, just “Linux”. Bazzite definitely charts because that’s the distro I settled on after trying openSUSE and a few Fedora spins.
Also, while this metric doesn’t specify which distro(s) you used, Steam will say what distro you’re on under your in-game status, though not always. (Might be the game that’s being played that does/does not recognize the specific distro.)
Yeah, no, it definitely would register, I just probably didn't play enough on those to chart against a full year of playtime, which does check out. That chart has a LOT of hours in it and I played on each of those distros maybe a couple of days. Except for Bazzite, which does live permanently on a handheld, dualbooting alongside Windows.
narc0tic_birdMine is 95% Linux, 4% Steam Deck (so 99% Linux I guess) and 1% Windows cause I tested if Baldur’s Gate 3 would work under Windows with an Intel Core Ultra iGPU after I couldn’t get it to work under Linux (works fine with other GPUs though).
Sadly my VR library is missing 70 titles, but when I see the hardware poll thing come up i boot up my linux and run it. I keep hoping, and I feel this is no longer futile, that they will at least show up in my list and eventually work. Too bad I bought an RTX 4070ti super instead of an equivalent amd card, wasn’t thinking of dropping windows at the time 🤬
I hear NVidia’s somewhat picking up with Linux, even though there are a few pain points here and there
Yes they are I had less issues installing then I did 15+ years ago. I’m just kicking myself for not going amd as they have good open drivers, I wish nvidia would do the same so some of the smart linux people could fix their drivers for us. The official drivers are the only ones I can use for the VR games tho, something to do with display priority and handling. Not as savvy as I once was
Nvidia 3080ti Linux crew checking in. It’s pretty good! pop-os helps make it easy if you’re unsure.

I don’t have this chart in my review, I guess because I was 100% Linux. Kind of surprised I didn’t have a little Mac time in there, since I do sometimes use Steam on Mac while traveling. But thinking back, I guess it’s been a while.
Same, no chart 100% Linux
You can play helldivers 2 on Linux? I thought it had kernel anti cheat or something
It does, but as I’ve (unthoroughly) verified for a comment here on Lemmy, it runs in userspace.
I too was surprised that it works.
I too was surprised that it works.
I did play it a few weeks ago with some friends, worked flawlessly! (using steam, on fedora, with a Nvidia gpu)
Currently rehabbing an old drive or two to begin my transition away from Windows during some upcoming time off! Enough is enough, MS has made it abundantly clear that users should not expect to own or control their Windows installations anymore. Complete deal breaker and I doubt I’ll be back.
Idk why my report doesn’t show different devices. I played on Pop!_OS, Arch, and Nobara.
