Hopefully summer will be over soon

well, I have tux racer, wine with 2hu, osu! and I have emulators, what else does a man need? lol? overwatch? dont make me laugh.

>still posting tux racer and not the far superior super tux kart that has user-generated content

Tux racer and cart is actually pretty comfy

Nice meme

Wow hey you posted it again op, I'm proud of you.

ironically this project started as closed source, they saw that it didn't sold so they made it open source.
Yet no one plays it to this day

only game you need

Do o games for Linux have to be FOSS?
If yes, then I hope you fucker will help Godot Engine community make some good games.
If not, here is a list of some games that you can find on botnet:

I've been playing minetest. It's fun

True

This is like my mind exactly

Maybe it's a Sup Forums question but I guess I get more answers here.
Which free games do you enjoy playing?
I used to play openTTD a lot but got kinda tired of it.

>Hopefully

My friend, it ends September 22nd no matter what

and mesecons mod is HOLY SHIT!
I saw a giant screen with over hundred LUA controllers,one for each "pixel", beautiful work

Linux runs most emulators.
That's pretty much good enough.

Dwarf Fortress is pretty good.

/r/linux_gaming

looks like an PS1 Emulator

I really hope you don't use bilinear on PS1 emulation.
It looks quite terrible.

>still no puyo puyo tetris clone with official tetris rules

DRM

I still remember the threads about Steam machines overtaking the gaming world because apparently the only thing keeping people from using Linux is games.

good times.

How hard would it be for developers to put a wine wrapper on their games and sell it as Linux compatible?

They should be able to make this work out of the box on the most popular distros at least.

I mean, there's forward momentum. 2.5% of desktops run Linux now compared to under 1% in the '00s, about 25% of the games on Steam are Linux compatible out of the box now

The day Linux dethrones Windows may be years off but it seems poised to dethrone OSX as the world's second biggest desktop operating system at any moment

I believe the problem isn't just porting the game initially, especially with plenty of engines now easily doing that, it's the support that no one wants to deal with

Basically having to support a whole other platform for a couple percentage points of your monies

Companies put up with this shit for Mac users

>Dethrone osx
Holy shit you are delusional

It's nipping at its heels right now

u must feel dumb

>only game you need
>also has Neverwinter Nights, Dwarf Fortress, Mount & Blade, etc.
What did he mean by this?

>Windows 7 still #1

If games were targeted at Linux maybe they would actually make use of modern processors

Freetards would need to accept official nvidia drivers then.

>not having more than you need

Cities: Skylines works well on Linux.

>can run Kerbal Space Program
With mods, why play any other game?

nice xubuntu, faggot

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring 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.

Works OK for for older cards apparently. This is from January

I wouldn't be surprised if freetards mostly did have older cards

I've been playing recently Battle for Wesnoth, and while early, the game seems really well done, lots of units, variety of campaigns, later it is just RNG fest, as every attack has % chance to hit, so with 4x80% you hit none vs 3x30% hits you twice. I know there is confirmation bias going, but if you have a strategy game, where at most you can minimalize risks, it's now very good.

I think this is due to corporate. It costs millions to switch licenses, so many offices are still on 7 or wait multiple versions to upgrade.

Noveau is made out of reverse engineering and guesswork.
Takes a while to find out what nvidia did this time.

My company upgraded to Windows 7 like two years ago

You're not fooling anyone, sweaty.

>what else does a man need
A working music player
>mfw can't install foobar on linux

You can have those on linux as well.
There are ways to make Wine run overwatch and stuff.

what's the name of WM/theme?

pekwm with Workbench 3.1 theme

get out you fucking 5 year old

have you tried cmus or mpd

clementine works fine, foobar2k isnt that great honestly.

Linux is such an embarrassment.

How?

>he scribbled out the 1% and replaced it with 3%
nice

The only game I need is on Linux.

autism simulator

lmao didn't even realize there was a linux port.

I've been booting into windows to play it.

wtf i have a 760 and i cant imagine it getting such fps on 4k, is this lowest detail or something?

eh, I just play it for fun. but there are some people on the subre**it that are painfully autistic

This
I wanna play tux racer in the snow for muh immersion immersion

Really well done shitpost my friend

faggot, you just made me to waste this weekend [spoiler]thx[/spoiler]

Still waiting for the Donald Trump themepack

No, Richard, it's 'Linux', not 'GNU/Linux'. The most important contributions that the FSF made to Linux were the creation of the GPL and the GCC compiler. Those are fine and inspired products. GCC is a monumental achievement and has earned you, RMS, and the Free Software Foundation countless kudos and much appreciation.

Following are some reasons for you to mull over, including some already answered in your FAQ.

One guy, Linus Torvalds, used GCC to make his operating system (yes, Linux is an OS -- more on this later). He named it 'Linux' with a little help from his friends. Why doesn't he call it GNU/Linux? Because he wrote it, with more help from his friends, not you. You named your stuff, I named my stuff -- including the software I wrote using GCC -- and Linus named his stuff. The proper name is Linux because Linus Torvalds says so. Linus has spoken. Accept his authority. To do otherwise is to become a nag. You don't want to be known as a nag, do you?

(An operating system) != (a distribution). Linux is an operating system. By my definition, an operating system is that software which provides and limits access to hardware resources on a computer. That definition applies whereever you see Linux in use. However, Linux is usually distributed with a collection of utilities and applications to make it easily configurable as a desktop system, a server, a development box, or a graphics workstation, or whatever the user needs. In such a configuration, we have a Linux (based) distribution. Therein lies your strongest argument for the unwieldy title 'GNU/Linux' (when said bundled software is largely from the FSF). Go bug the distribution makers on that one. Take your beef to Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware. At least there you have an argument. Linux alone is an operating system that can be used in various applications without any GNU software whatsoever. Embedded applications come to mind as an obvious example.

Next, even if we limit the GNU/Linux title to the GNU-based Linux distributions, we run into another obvious problem. XFree86 may well be more important to a particular Linux installation than the sum of all the GNU contributions. More properly, shouldn't the distribution be called XFree86/Linux? Or, at a minimum, XFree86/GNU/Linux? Of course, it would be rather arbitrary to draw the line there when many other fine contributions go unlisted. Yes, I know you've heard this one before. Get used to it. You'll keep hearing it until you can cleanly counter it.

You seem to like the lines-of-code metric. There are many lines of GNU code in a typical Linux distribution. You seem to suggest that (more LOC) == (more important). However, I submit to you that raw LOC numbers do not directly correlate with importance. I would suggest that clock cycles spent on code is a better metric. For example, if my system spends 90% of its time executing XFree86 code, XFree86 is probably the single most important collection of code on my system. Even if I loaded ten times as many lines of useless bloatware on my system and I never excuted that bloatware, it certainly isn't more important code than XFree86. Obviously, this metric isn't perfect either, but LOC really, really sucks. Please refrain from using it ever again in supporting any argument.

Last, I'd like to point out that we Linux and GNU users shouldn't be fighting among ourselves over naming other people's software. But what the heck, I'm in a bad mood now. I think I'm feeling sufficiently obnoxious to make the point that GCC is so very famous and, yes, so very useful only because Linux was developed. In a show of proper respect and gratitude, shouldn't you and everyone refer to GCC as 'the Linux compiler'? Or at least, 'Linux GCC'? Seriously, where would your masterpiece be without Linux? Languishing with the HURD?

If there is a moral buried in this rant, maybe it is this:

Be grateful for your abilities and your incredible success and your considerable fame. Continue to use that success and fame for good, not evil. Also, be especially grateful for Linux' huge contribution to that success. You, RMS, the Free Software Foundation, and GNU software have reached their current high profiles largely on the back of Linux. You have changed the world. Now, go forth and don't be a nag.

Thanks for listening.

Warzone 2100 is on linux and that is all I need.

same here my man

Name of game?

Xonotic

Sauerbraten

how the fuck do you run csgo at playable framerate on that machine?on my arch x220 even at lowest 4x3 res and lowest graphics settings mine stutters to hell and i get 15-20 fps in 10v10's

I actually agree with Stallman and find GNU/Linux to be useful to differentiate a typical OS using Linux as its kernel with a GNU user space and GUI like Gnome from the increasingly common OSes built with a Linux kernel that do not use GNU software like Android/Linux.

If Linux could run games as well as Windows, Windows would die
Prove me wrong
protip: you can't

Not quite 'out of the box' support yet, but the Vega cards are working well once you have everything in place for the open drivers to work.

The main limiting factor is the performance of the current D3D->OpenGL solutions.
GNU/Linux now has the best OpenGL performance available anywhere, and the Vulkan stacks are improving every day.
Next-gen D3D->Vulkan and Vulkan-first games should yield performance that is just as good or better than Windows.

Vulkan first games will be a long time coming regardless of the benefits as the tools are still effectively on a year lag behind DX12 and it gets worse when you look at game engine support. Not everyone (in fact, only a few do) have the manpower and resources to (re)build an engine to make Vulkan truly worth it over existing ecosystems.

I forget if UE4 supports vulkan but cryengine only recently announced support which makes anything to come out of it 2 years away in practical terms.

>that performance difference
Are those AMDGPU-PRO drivers old or something? That's fucking insane.

I think those are the latest, maybe there's been one released since then.
It is the most extreme example from that collection of benchmarks but the open source drivers being twice as fast or better is pretty typical these days.

Looks like Factorio

That's literally what GOG does

The worst part of using nvidia on linux is that unless you want a giant headache every time you update, you're stuck on linux-lts
AMDGPU doesn't have this problem but amd cards are generally worse than nvidias.
Why must I suffer so, oh Linus?

Clementine is fantastic
Cmus is great as well.
>using a closed source audio player

works fine under wine, are you retarded

>VOY
my nigger

Its not free though.

I've tried a bunch but haven't really gotten into any. Just in general I have for a long time now found it hard to get into much any kind of a game except the ones I played when I was a kid or a teenager.

Wine wrapper probably wasn't/isn't good enough

I think they just got dx11 support

High-end games run like shit in that mode. I have a modern computer and the Witcher 2 wine wrapped version still runs like shit for example.
Its not exactly difficult to do though. But really, especially 2D games are just generally easy to port without hacky tricks like wine - so many devs nowadays start with SDL in the background anyway.

Windows 7 has 50% of the market for the same reason Windows XP had 50% of the market in 2012, schools and corporations. Many of them only just upgraded to 7 recently and won't be upgrading for another 5-10 years. Although there are no solid figures for the consumer market, if you look at places like Steam's hardware and software survey or even polls on this board you'll see that 10 is in general more popular than 7.

Wine has come a very long way
I felt like playing MGR the other day and it just werked. Ootb without me even using winetricks or whatever.

mpd+ncmpcpp is way better than botnet2k

I have a 760 and get like double that with 1440p

not even games, most people don't care about games, it's just that windows is pre-installed for most people

Same reason that Windows 10 S will be on the majority of systems in a few years.
Hardly anyone changes what's on the system when they get it.
Hardly anyone will install extra software or think about what they're using.

That's why Valve desperately needs Steam Machines to be a thing because in the long run they're just not going to have any access to users without having their own hardware.

What's your CPU? He was using an Intel Xeon E3-1280 v5 @ 4.00GHz

TF2 is largely CPU bound

Thanks!
