Windows Games’ Compatibility on Linux Is at an All-Time High
-
Didn’t they just announce this? Or are they still deciding on the “how” and not the “if”?
There is a video made in collab with Wendell who suggested a few distros and listed what can go wrong, but as far as I know, no established testing framework yet.

I can’t wait to see their content on the fediverse. They made a video about getting away from big tech but don’t mirror their stuff here. I think it’s a damn shame.
They could even host their own instances.
They post on Rumble, I think that’s what they meant.

Calling it an “All Time High” is a bit silly when the compatibility of games has (more or less) only increased over the years. But yeah it’s nice that number goes up!

My age is also at an all time high

To Windows people wondering:
JUST DO THE JUMP. Installing Bazzite only needs a 16GB flash drive and 15 minutes of time, and you’ll be SHOCKED how smooth everything goes compared to Windows bloat.
And you don’t even need to give up on Windows! You can keep it on dual boot until you realize you didn’t touched Windows even once over the last 6 months.
Yup. Or CachyOS. Or EndeavourOS.
I’m currently happily replaying Skyrim on my EndeavourOS installation.

How much luck am I going to have with my SIM rig? Moza R12 and CRP pedals.
I know Le Mans ultimate will run mostly fine with a custom proton. But I have no idea where to start with the wheel, and what I can find seems like it might be out dated but could be a right pain(especially on bazzite) to get installed.

Make anti cheat work… That’s the real issue no?
Only for competitive gamers and Microsoft might solve that issue because they are thinking of locking down kernel access after that “recent” debacle. If games don’t demand highest level spyware that might brick your PC if they mess up installed on your PC there’s no problem with Linux for competitive games anymore

how well does modding work?
some instructions I’ve seen seemed overly complicated and are probably outdated so i played it on my old windows machine when the urge came

The controls should work right out of the box. Forced feedback however does not (at least that’s the case with my setup). I haven’t spent time trying to troubleshoot it, since I’m currently hooked on a non racing game.

I have dual boot, Linux is my to go, and I try the best to play the game I want there. Most of the times work. On the few games it doesn’t I can endure windows for a short period of time until I launch the game
But my files, internet browsing, email it’s all on Linux partition.

And Vermintide 2, using EAC, just ticked the box to not being hostile towards Linux, and it just works now. Hated Denuvo works too. There’s now a minority of games that don’t play ball with penguins.
What do you mean by ‘just ticked the box to not be hostile towards Linux’?
I installed bazzite on my old desktop and just assumed I wouldn’t be able to run vermintide 2. Does it run in proton now?

Last time I tried it worked totally fine. Most mods just hook into the base game, which is running the same as on Windows.

I wish. Given how frequently I use my computer for work, there’s a few things that I’ve been unable to find suitable alternatives for. But it’s things like having a specific workflow for PDF editing, where I’m use to a specific piece of software where I’ve set up custom shortcuts and such.
Otoh, for personal use definitely has been a good experience so far (just setup like a week or two ago). Haven’t run into any issues there and certainly prefer the OS. Was super easy to setup (granted, I installed on a second drive rather than a true dual-boot).

First installed it after leaving reddit with everyone else. I could only host for others/myself or play unofficial games. Connecting to others in off realm lead to a disconnect one minute in, when this check occured, no matter what. QP was unplayable, so it wasn’t much fun.
Darktide released 100% working, so I dabbed in it for some time, before discovering that they undid that limitation in further patches for VT2 too.
EAC presented such possibility a lot of time ago, and only a year back FatShark implemented it.
So yeah, since that I downed a couple of hundred hours under Mint/Arch/Cachy with Proton, no trickery involved. It works pretty fine, I even had a chance to try it on an old laptop, so performance is at least on par with Win if not better. The only thing is that sometimes, like once in two weeks, it thought that it’s files are corrupted and made me recheck them before allowing me to enter lobby.

I’d imagine it would also depend on how overpowered the CPU and ram are. If you are running a xx60 card on the latest $2000 CPU and like 128GB of high speed ram, there’s probably be little difference. But with more balanced hardware combos, the overhead of the OS itself could make a significant difference. Granted, I’m assuming the OS’s have a negligible impact on any brand new dGPU.

It’s essentially monotonic, so of course it’s an all-time high.

Nice. Got it running with just a couple tweaks. Thanks, friend.

FYI, new update to Bazzite added FFB
