>Still no (proper) Flash

And no, using buggy ass WINE, pen-pressure-less GIMP, or any ass-pulled alternative for FL studio that 100% guaranteed doesn't have proper audio support, is not a viable option.

Face it, Linux is a niche OS. Computers have been to assimilated to break the mold.

2000 indies and 10 years old games, nice.

luckily, the GNU/Linux community doesn't aim for market share and proprietary driver/software support, something that OP doesn't realize

A+ job not reading the post.

Which AAA games do you mean besides these, which are all on Linux?

A++ reply would read again

You can tell OP isn't a Linux user. Actual Linux users don't want gamers moving to Linux. There's a reason your house fire cards don't have good drivers for Linux. Linux software is made by people who care about being able to do that on Linux. Anyone who wants to use their computer to heat their room in the winter is going to compile something.

>Needing flash in the year 2016
Your shitty porn games aren't that important.

I moved to Linux once but whenever I saw the quality of the ports on stuff like CS:GO and the support for the drivers I switched back.

It's too bad, I actually really liked it.

A+ job never having tried Linux or Wine
There's pepperflash-plugin for chromium or already in chrome if you're a noob
That isn't deprecated, try again

FL Studio and Audacity ain't even close to the same program...

>Not DirectX

Does OpenCL work in Photoshop?

Witcher 3? Fallout 4? GTA V?

Can any of you name a alternative animation software that utilizes timelines, tweening, object movieclip creation, vector graphics, and batch exports in .png?

Legitimately asking, because I come from ye old Newgrounds animation days. (and no, ToonBoom is not what I'm looking for)

>pen-pressure-less GIMP
Are you stupid?

>OP isn't a Linux user
>Let me continue with a rant which shows I know nothing about Linux

2000 games is closer to the amount of games I bought and never played than a list of reasons to switch to linux. 2000 games is a console argument.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Kek

It's GNU/Linux. Linux is the kernel, GNU is the OS.


>No Proper flash
Pepperflashplayer-nonfree + Freshplayerplugin.


>No proper photoshop
GIMP has pen pressure support. Works with my Huion 420, Friend.

You're correct with the rest, (Other then GNU/Linux being a niche OS.)

>Witcher 3? Fallout 4? GTA V?
I don't play those anyway :^)

You both misunderstood my post.

I don't need the flash player, because I don't use the flash player. I need the software, Been using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5 for years.

linuxfag here, Audacity has nothing to do with FL

This is pretty much every loonix fag reply to a question.

Can I play killer instinct on Linux?

>pen pressure
Nobody uses Photoshop or GIMP with a drawing tablet, ew.

do you play Hipster Pixel Platformer #2934

If you're going to cherrypick AAA games just to prove your point

You're just doomed.

I hope you learned your lesson about proprietary software.

I play Fallout 4 and Witcher 3, they just got new expansions, also GTA V multiplayer from time to time.

Those are like the most popular games right now, how is that cherry picking?

>Loonix tip 231:
If you don't use or need something, no one else does.

>cherrypick AAA games
>cherrypick games people actually want to play

I was surprised by the performance of Saint's Row IV on my piddling rig. But most games that I can buy on Linux are also coming out on Windows, and if I get both versions when I purchase, I can switch between OS and still help the Linux gaming community, so...you know.

>tfw no leenox stalker

Asking about the most relevant new titles , is not cherry picking. When the argument is "has all these games!" and the number is a fraction at best of the windows options, the titles in this small list are very important. Especially went 300 of them are bejeweled clones

we have loonix stalker with beer, i mean wine.

They all run worse than they would on Windows, though.

>I hope you learned your lesson about proprietary software.

I've learnt that open source keks cant compete :^>

why does every shit troll on this board use 'kek' as a noun

Make it yourself
github.com/OpenXRay

Wanting the most popular AAA is cherrypicking now, ok.

desu

Then you're just a bad learner, I guess. I'm a bad learner too, btw.

Gee bill TWO THOUSAND gaymes. That's almost (not even close to) 1% of the over seven hundred eighty one million titles on Steam for Windows. Not to mention the non-Steam titles available for Windows and not Linux.

Did you even read the posts?
OpenGL on Linux outperforms DirectX and OpenGL on Windows.

eventhough opengl reks directx

full house trips baby

Indie trash does not count as meaningful content.

>seven hundred eighty one million titles on Steam
Holy crap.

That's no good on its own when the drivers are shit.

>Gee bill
faggot

half of those games are clones

>using steam

>Not to mention the non-Steam titles
Like what?
The most popular are on steam for sure

Sorry Bill, I know it sucks when people forget to capitalize your name.

And half of the games on Linux are indietrash or clones. When I say not even close to 1% you need to realize I mean not even a little close. At all.

Nah, probably not gonna fully swap for realsies until gamedevs themselves consider it a serious competitor and worthy of attention.

Exactly. Until all the major AAA games [not just steam made ones] come out with Linux releases Linux will not be relevent to the main stream gamer that is into all the AAA games.

It's bretty gud. Spent a lot of time in Steam and I do not regret it, because it was fun.

Sure, DRM sucks and I hate that I cannot resell the shit (especially 'rust' was the worst buy ever), but it's a perfect all in one game center. No doubt.

What the fuck even is this? I wasn't aware source for that engine is even available. One of the readmes says something about it being leaked?

> I hate that I cannot resell the shit (especially 'rust' was the worst buy ever)
Steam refunds are a thing, though.

2000 versions of tux racer?

Reminder that the Unreal Editor works almost flawlessly on GNU/Linux and that making your game multi-platform is literally a matter of clicking a checkbox.
The catalogue is probably going to grow a lot in the near future.

>implying FL studio is good
Linux has plenty of DAWs. Ardour is surprisingly capable and would feel familiar to any pro, bitwig just werks and Renoise is fucking great.

>buggy ass WINE
git gud

>pen-pressure-less GIMP
Stop buying shitty chinese wacom knockoffs

Except it isn't true.

>number of total sales is the same as the number of unique game titles for sale

Is this hypberbole, trolling, or are you literally that simple?

...

>gamedevs themselves consider it a serious competitor and worthy of attention

not to get a Sup Forums on you, but AAA game devs have been trying to cut ties with PC gaming for awhile, for favor of a more company-controlled console system.

They barely patch shit for Windows, if they ever feel like porting it in the first place. If it's not some FPS, then chances are it's buggier than their console counterparts.

.

I guess you're not wrong.

Considering how piracy is still pretty rampant, I'm surprised many PC gamedevs haven't just called it quits.

well I dunno the games I can emulate and natively run on linux will probably last me my whole lifetime.
The PSX and SNES RPGs alone that I still have to play are several years worth of gameplay. And I want to master all characters in Street fighter 2. Couch multiplayer is great with an N64 emulator. Gaming is so much fun.

..

Hearthstone.

The sources were leaked like two years ago arond the time Lost Alpha was released.

Yes, I have a Raspberry Pi for that too connected to my TV with two DS3 controllers.

But we are talking about real PC gayming, like the other user sayd, hard AAA titles.

Bait 0/10

Maybe one day

any games younger than 2 years, user?

Soma was fun.

Ok fair enough, I'm only a casual gamer and my desktop is worth only for older and less intensive games

I still think it's impressive Linux having these much titles, almost on par with OSX already when it only got support on steam a couple of years ago

>any games younger than 2 years, user?
Only garbage, user.

Call me when GTA and Battlefield work on Linux and they get proper drivers.

I play that in my ubuntu mate and mint machine.

And the source ones are just here because Steam OS.

>still no FL studios
>implying keeping musical plebs out of a OS is a bad thing

>using both Ubuntu mate and mint
Why?

I personally would love to definitively switch from Win10 to GNU/Linux, however there is definitively no proper audio tool under that OS. Find me an equivalent of RX5, and a proper way of using the VST or AU format under GNU/Linux and I might do the switch, but as an audio dev, I absolutely cannot leave these tools.
And no, wine is not good for these, and no, VM aren’t any good for audio work.
As for now, my only solution is dual-boot.

>>>Still no FL Studio
>Audacity
top kek

>>implying FL studio is good
There are people implying GIMP is good, you know

Oh well, I don't really care for those. It's a meme to think only new stuff is good. I played SOMA recently, which was available on Linux and it was really great, but then I switched back to two weeks of Tetris. Gaming is a leisure activity and dependant on good gameplay which lasts forever. Good games were released in the past as well as now, so why should I need new ones, it's not like owning and playing the newest games is some kind of social obligiation. They're GAMES! It's cheaper as well.

And what's AAA supposed to mean? The big games were so much money is poured in that you just HAVE to play them? Normally I love cutting edge technology, but with games it just doesn't make any difference. I played the new doom with my friend which looks great and all, but after some time you forget the looks and the core of the game is what shines or not. This works for old games as it works with new ones.

Dead Island?

It's not a fault in linux, its just the market, same goes for drivers.

>Games everyone already played years ago
>Have to install closed source DRM client to play them

> I still think it's impressive Linux having these much titles, almost on par with OSX already when it only got support on steam a couple of years ago
I would genuinely never touch Windows again if it had a 1:1 games library with Windows. Still, new games are being added all the time.
