/fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread

Welcome to /fglt/ - Friendly GNU/Linux Thread.
Users of all levels are welcome to ask questions about GNU/Linux and share their experiences.

*** Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly GNU/Linux Thread. ***

Before asking for help, please check our list of resources[*].

If you would like to try out GNU/Linux you can do one of the following:
0) Install a GNU/Linux distribution of your choice in a Virtual Machine using VirtualBox or other software made for this puporse for safety purposes.
1) Use the Live ISO (if your distribution of choice has one) to boot directly into the GNU/Linux distribution without installing anything, that way, you can get to experience the GNU/Linux operating system without installing it.
2) Dual boot the GNU/Linux distribution of your choice along with Windows or macOS, this is recommended if you want to know more about the GNU/Linux operating system.
3) Go balls deep and replace everything with GNU/Linux.

What games can you even play on Linux?

All of them*

Won't I need Wine to run VNs?

You probably need wine for lots of VNs and other games, but few VNs are made in python so you might not need wine for them.

Undertale! ^_^

Already finished it and downloaded a few hundred megabytes of goat mom with penis.

Not without a VM. Wine can barely run any DX11 games.

He says as he posts on a site using non-free javascript.

I'm here to save you. I'm basically Morpheus.

This is a board about videogames sir, even if we rarely talk about them

I feel bad for being a faggot who doesn't read documentation now.

Perhaps linux isn't right for you

...

It's been working fine for the last five years or so. I just assumed CSMT was on by default like most of the other stuff packed into staging and didn't bother looking because the games were still working.

linux is for paranoid pedos
