No bloatware, fully customizable kernel and user space, open source, free, easy to install, powerful, very little malware, easy to.make very secure, hyper threads better, ability to run headless, journaling file system.

Reasons not use: want to play AAA games and not dual boot, software lock into micro$oft ecosystem in a corporate environment. Wanting to remain a scrub that is intimated by using a command line and knowing how the pieces of hardware are actually set up (although you can still run many distros and never leave the comfort of a GUI)

Any other reasons besides these are put forward by idiots or shills

He has good tech tips on his YouTube channel

why would a gamer want to use this

It's comfy and helps you get more acquainted with technology also there is a flavor for everyone
You wouldn't want to, you would either have to rely on unstable porting programs or dual boot just to play a game

because some people are creepy masochists;
just leave them alone in their own world

I game on Linux and have amazing specs. The only issue is most AAA games are only released on Windows and maybe macOS even though Linux has deeper desktop penetration then apple.

More Linux users = more games for Linux, even if you game AAA on a Windows dual boot and use the Linux partition for browsing, work and indie games.

So you mean you play counter strike or something

As a tech interested guy it's pretty interesting.
You learn a lot about computers and how they're actually working.

there aren't much games for Linux, because nobody uses it, because there aren't much games

Use it for the Deep Web probably

All valve games, Factorio, AutismCraft, Kerbal Space Program cities skylines Verdun civ 6
There are literally hundreds of games on Steam that run fine on Linux. And hundreds more that run acceptable under wine.
The only game that has tempted me lately to dual boot is OverWatch. It would be nice to be able to play that on a PC just scratch that Team Fortress 2 itch

Yeah but what about good games

this

thats like 0.000001% of all my gaming stuff
my VR setup doesnt even have a linux client yet

You don't have to dual boot.

GTX 750 ti in a headless server with remote desktop and steam runs everything I throw at it with about 12ms latency from input to display on my ivybridge laptop.

Like what call of doody?

In my opinion a lot of the major Studios have been pushing out total crap lately. I found a lot better game play in Indy releases. If you are all about the latest shiny graphics in games at the expense of great gameplay go pick up Electronics Arts title or Fab to 4K trap porn

They also make these things called consoles you can play games on with actual friends in the same room interacting like human beings. You probably have to stop acting like an autistic moron to have that experience though.

Over half of the games in my Library work on Linux, you are just playing shitty AAA xbox ports with pajeet devs that CBF to port their hacky bullshit.

trust me you don't.
if you install something like ubuntu, linux mint, debian, all you do is follow an installation easier than windows
just try to use something like arch user, or you won't learn anything

Explain this a bit further. I'm have 3 arch computers at home. Are you setting up a headless Windows server to cast games to? I have a 970 on best computer. I want a smooth FR more than shiny graphics.

This.

Get something easy to pop your Linux cherry and if you work up the desire to try an arch, Gentoo or Slackware install do that after you have learned a bit more.

If you do a Slackware install you will KNOW Linux by the time you are done.

I have a ThinkCentre with an i7-6700 and a GTX 750 ti running steam and I stream to a T530 ThinkPad running Gentoo.

Most games are in the 12-20 range tending to be more towards the lower side unless the game is demanding.

Oh OK. but you are playing linux native titles still right?

If you do try this notice in the DOOM screenshot how it says NVENC for the hardware encoding and VAAPI hardware decoding on the image?

If those say software the latency will be shit, most people try it and immediately stop using it because it isn't optimized properly.

...

I've been using Linux for 2 years now and it's confusing as fuck. New comers will fuck up hard with it unless they persist. I have to admit though it is better than windows and OSX

Sometimes.
But even the native titles I just started streaming them because the 750ti is faster and my laptop fan gets noisy.

Linux is super easy to use as long as you don't try to use buggy freetard shit like Debian or Fedora.

Have you by any chance tried Thief: The Dark Project on Linux? The lack of DirectDraw support on Windows makes me want to jump.

Cuz fuck Microsoft.

An average normie does not

Using Linux is perfectly normal.
You probably have it in your pocket right now.

What a well thought out and non-autistic way to call someone autistic for not liking your shitty indie garbage. Good job!

no.

Up your Google foo stats. If you really want to learn more about it try a arch install on a shitty old computer. It will run on anything. It will be frustrating and you will probably start clean a few times before you get it right. But if you succeed you will know far more about how it runs then before. Arch Linux has an amazing wiki and a knowledgeable and dedicated if a bit cancerous community on the forums.

After you go with Arch and grok that try a Slackware install and become a Linux guru.

If you're smart and determined enough you can use kvm to emulate a windows machine with 95% of bare metal performance.
