  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    At least when I open up Mac OS, it doesn’t show me a pop up ad telling me how XBOX CONTROLLERS COME IN SO MANY COLORS NOW click here to buy.

    I’ve gotten that pop up the last 3 times I’ve booted up my windows machine.

    Windows is great for gaming. But it’s the only thing I turn that machine on for.

    Gaming on Linux is pretty legit now. I don't even boot into windows very often. In recent memory, only one AAA game didn't work out of the box for me that required booting into windows.

    So far black desert online is the only game that I've wanted to play that I can't on Linux (eac is awful). I know there are others, but it's mainly fps games that bother with windows-only eac and I don't play fps games all that much. Battlebit is probably the only fps I've been playing in the past few months, and they use/will be using a linux-compatible eac version which I'm jazzed about

    Actually, EAC has a Proton-compatible build, the devs just have to use it. It's not a hard switch, they just have to choose to allow Linux compatibility, which most devs (well, really it's probably an exec level decision) do not.

    [–] SorryQuick@lemmy.ca 5 points 11 months ago

    In black desert’s case, there’s no chance they would ever allow anyone to play without a kernel anti cheat, which EAC doesn’t allow on linux. The game is literally all grind, if bots could run on linux it would absolutely ravage the already shit economy.

    From the controversy around battlebit using eac, apparently the eac version that is just a checkmark for proton/Linux support is not a drop in replacement for the regular one that is more popular. The one with that option would require a lot of refactoring code, and doesn't have all of the features of the main eac unfortunately.

    That's unfortunate, but not surprising. I can't exactly expect Epic to port the wine compatible version to the old release, so it makes sense.
