You know, playing vidcons.

linux
if a game isn't playable on linux, it's shit

If you could use Linux for gamering, fucking nobody would use Windows outside of businesses.

you can, just not as easily. That is the whole appeal of Windows.

You bring Saya great shame

There's a lot of things that you literally can't, though. Very few games have native support, WINE doesn't work for a lot of shit, especially new shit, and "dual-boot windows" =/= gaming on linux.

Which is to say nothing for the huge lack of support for OEMs in terms of drivers and shit, which also limits your hardware options in terms of gaming.

If you want games on your PC, Windows is pretty much your only option.

Sucks ass, but that's the way it is. When people say games need to be ported to PC to be timeless, it's almost like they forget the game are locked to the shittiest OS ever conceived by humankind.

What is the problem with windows other that MAH FREEDOM? I use 10 and iit works just fine.

>to the shittiest OS ever conceived by humankind.
OSX says hi

botnet

Before win10? Nothing. Win10 itself is fucking spyware and adware and AIDS all rolled into one putrid shitball.

GFWL, winstore, lack of backwards compatibility.

It's a system that actively was pushed upon users like malware. It actively tries to prevent you from administering properly, requiring either registry edits or third party software to do it properly. To make it easier you can use the Enterprise version, but even then you still need to work around it. It forces you to update on its schedule, it doesn't let you choose what you update and when. It's run by one of the most incompetent development companies in the market. The way they handle their code base is a mess, and people somehow expect them to keep their system secure when things like fonts and scroll bars are handled at the kernel level even though that shit should be completely separate from the beginning.
All of those examples after the first aside, I refuse to use a system that acts/acted like malware to get installed

I use Linux for games natively supported on it because it has the best performance with the same hardware compared to Windows. For anything not natively supported on Linux, I boot into my Windows 10 HDD if the WINE performance is worse compared to actual Windows 10.

What a stupid thread

Anyone who uses Linux for gaming is moronic. If you want to game, just set up a dual boot system with Windows 10 on a partition and do all your gaming (and ONLY your gaming, unless you require the use of very specific software for certain needs, e.g. certain industrial or scientific software packages that only run on Windows) on that.

I'm not a gamerer so neither.
I'm an appist.

But what about the games that don't need Windows to play? Why would you set up a Windows install for those?

Both. Whatever doesn't work on Linux I boot up Windows.

If you're only going to play a few games that are all Linux native as well - and personally, I'm happy just playing HoMM3 through Wine and Chess for the rest of my days - then of course, it's the preferential option. But if you're the sort of person who wants to use your machine entirely for gaming and to play many games, you're just gimping yourself by sticking with Linux. And no, running everything through Wine is not a sensible idea when it's just more easier and less pain to set up a dedicated Windows partition.

LTSB retard

Linux desu

Sure, but there are many games I enjoy that work fine on Linux, and also why would you set up a second partition for Windows when you can passthrough? Gives you near native performance but also has the benefit of being a virtual machine for copying, backups, different machines for different purposes, etc.
Still a botnet

>hurr if it isn't GNU then it's botnet

grow up

Much less of a hassle and true native performance to just do away with linux altogether
