Linux Users’ Bingo: Classic Windows Fan Assumptions 😆 - Lemmy.World

“No, Karen, I won’t hack your WiFi.”

not only can i install steam i can run almost any game marked windows only
I am looking at switching to Linux soon. I really want to be able to keep playing my old WH40k games and my City of heroes and my other MMOs. So you are telling me these will run fine on Linux? I am new at this Linux thing so forgive me.

In my experience, Linux has been superior for older games because the proton (compatibility layer that makes windows game work on Linux) has a ton of old windows components packed in that are broken on modern windows.

The main issue people have these days are with newer multiplayer games and anti-cheat not playing nice with proton.

Modding can also be a bit of a hurdle if you’re into that sort of thing, but with a bit of work it’s doable.

I have a lifetime STO account and I like to do a taskforce every now and then. Maybe I should just keep a machine that runs my MMOs and do everything else on the Linux machine.
Most MMOs should be fine. Off the top of my head the games that don’t work because of anti cheat are Destiny, CoD, and the Riot games (League and Valorant)
