If you game on PC, you're going to have a bad time.
Gaming on Linux has never been easier OR better and it’s constantly improving.
No you're not. That was 5-10 years ago.
How does stuff like DLSS or similar work with Proton? I remember reading once that it wasn't a straight forward process. That was a few years ago though, I don't know if it's changed (or if I misunderstood what I read — always a possibility).
I suppose it doesn't matter much to me in the medium term, as I use mission-critical software while WFH, which is Windows only. But Linux-ifying my setup is something that always sounds appealing if I can get over the hurdles.
I don't know about DLSS specifically as I don't have a Nvidia GPU but AMD FSR works fine as long as you use a somewhat new version of Proton. (And FSR isn't limited to AMD GPUs)
Not the full answer but an encouraging detail, thanks for the info!
Valve has pretty much solved this issue for 99% of games. It used to be true, but not anymore.
Downvoters big mad that valve single-handedly made the average person even consider linux to game.
Too bad the 1% are the games I play the most with my friends.
Yeah and you can't play Zelda if you don't have a Switch. Your 1% bullshit is kind of a ridiculous talking point, just saying.
What? I'm just responding to the guy who claimed you can play 99% of games. I didn't make it up myself as an accurate number.
I think it is close to 75% actually. That does not change the fact that you pulled your anecdote out of your ass. There will always be some game on some system or OS that can't be played. The Steam Deck offers by far the most and I don't even own one so I have no stake in it.
Are you high?
What the fuck are you even talking about? Just go back to the peanut gallery cumbutt.
