I used to kinda complain about this but being unable to play lol or lostark has greatly improved my life. I don't mind being unable to play these games.
I am very grateful for proton and all of the technologies that allow me to play majority of my games. linux gaming in 2015 was painful.
Just wait until Vanguard pulls a Falcon and we'll never see those anticheats again. But still 4 years clean of LoL next year I get the medal.
I like linux but this is stoopid.
I play with Mods, unfortunately. It's the one thing keeping me back atm.
You can mod things on Linux, it's just slightly more of a pain because you have to usually manually place files in the right locations, since the mod managers are kinda hit or miss on Linux.
That being said, I was recently able to mod Minecraft and Valheim pretty extensively with mod managers (I forget which one for Minecraft, but I used r2modman for Valheim which worked great), and I got the Mass Effect: Legendary Edition mod manager working enough via wine that I could mod that too.
Well it’s not wrong.
I switched over my steam and epic games to my Linux install and there’s plenty of games I can’t play because of the anti-cheat or other issues. Can’t install my EA games at all.
Still made the switch and hoping things will catch up as time goes on.
I'm thinking about getting a handheld and putting Chimera or Bazzite on it. It's gonna replace my main gaming PC (so it needs to support egpu) once it bites it.
Man i wish, to this day, no matter the distro its like russian roulette with a revovler loaded with 5 bullets
And when it even starts im lucky it even runs reasonably well
Solus was the only one that worked a little better
And than enadeavouros AFTER several hours of stupid searching and installing some random crap i never found again
