@theshatterstone54 @Fizz I’ve bought a physical copy of every switch game I’ve ever played on Yuzu on my Steam Deck… It was just nice having to only carry one portable about, and a superior overall gaming experience. I’ll never do business with Nintendo again over this…

@bionicjoey @sirsquid They’ve had a lot of patreon money being funnelled in for years now…

@Templa @JustEnoughDucks Yup, it’s on Linux.

@Chadus_Maximus @_Sprite Personally I go the opposite way… If a game stops working on Linux, I stop playing it… There are too many enjoyable games in the world to stick to just one 😅

@Gork @mr_MADAFAKA The deck and all these handhelds just drive game sales on Steam, which is where Valve makes all it’s money… Competition between handhelds doesn’t bother them!

@sugar_in_your_tea @fossisfun It’s also just straight-up more daunting to update an application running inside a container, and a lot harder to troubleshoot when it goes wrong.

@beesterman @lightnsfw What?!? I run games using proton on an NTFS partition just fine…

If you do this it’s safer to use lowntfs-3g so everything is forced to lower case… And yes using a proper linux filesystem is way safer.

@alwaysconfused @Peafield Can always use NixOS if you need a reproducable system that you reinstall frequently?

@haych @vis4valentine At least 347… https://www.protondb.com/app/12210

@jannem @Simplesyrup It doesn’t seem to show up in the lemmy thread on the lemmy instance though… Weird behavior…

@Simplesyrup Hmmm, it appears Lemmy doesn’t pull images from Mastodon, there’s meant to be a screenshot there…

@Simplesyrup Steam client?

@jannem @hydroel It’s a good starting point… I’ve never been a huge fan of the Ubuntu Desktop environment. Snaps can behave a little weirdly at times (I had issues getting a VR Headset working with the snap version of Steam). I’m not sure what their GPU driver situation is these days, I know they were providing older drivers in their repositories a few years ago. POP_OS! is a nice ubuntu based option too…

@hydroel Two biggest drawbacks are certain games with anti-cheat not running (however some do), and peripheral support (my Thrustmaster racing wheel doesn’t get force feedback).

Some games (Like Factorio) have a better native Linux version than the Native Windows version.

I use Arch Linux, but wouldn’t recommend it to a novice. If you’re only gaming ChimeraOS is a good place to start. If you’re really new to Linux and scared to break things, an immutable OS like Vanilla may be better suited.

@mouse @Zaphodquixote I dual boot with Windows 11 and very rarely find myself not using Linux… It plays every game I’ve thrown at it in the last 6 months. The only time I end up using Windows is because I want to use a specific peripheral, like my steering wheel for racing games, rather than because Linux won’t run the game! Lutris is great for non-steam games. Runs Overwatch 2, Diablo IV, Guildwars 2, and League of Legends perfectly for me. GloriousEggroll is worth looking at too 🙂
