NGL I bought a new MacBook (m1) as that arm processor is just killer. Still mis Linux on that machine though.
(I know about Asahi, but I haven't heard about it's current state in the last few years since it's initial debut)
Asahi’s pretty decent now, so far as I’m concerned. They’ve still not cracked having more than one display, but otherwise I can’t think of anything I’ve not been able to do with it.
They don’t think it be like that, but it do.
I can do indie grade game development on an M1 MacBook air. It's wild how tech has progressed.
But I do my day job work on a Linux mint laptop and have a windows gaming pc until such time as I can fuck that useless piece of shit software into the fucking ether where it belongs.
What game keeps you on windows?
FFXI for me. It's a lot better post Steam Deck, but last time I set it up on Linux (maybe a year ago) a lot of the visual mods that are registry-based weren't working properly, the font rendering was awful, and certain addons and plugins just didn't work (guildwork in particular since it launches a background exe, others related to showing/hiding certain UI elements.) It runs, but it's far from comfortable. Might be good enough in a VM and I'll probably try again next time I resubscribe.
Resubscribe? Is FFXI paid by subscription?! 🤯
But yea, that game seems a bit messy for my taste as how it programmed 🤭 not experienced coder here, but what you describe sounds like it is as windows: programmed like a patchwork rug.
Right now none specifically, but I haven't really done an audit. I understand it's pretty good nowadays with proton.
What I don't want is to accidentally play an unsupported game and get vac banned or something.
If stellaris, total war and a handful of others worked I could probably convince myself to look into dual booting to try it out. I imagine OBS is fine. Streamdeck works on Mac so might be ok.
For all I remember, VAC bans only work with Valve games, and those in turn natively support Linux
Can confirm at least Stellaris works
Stellaris has a native linux build 🥰 Edit: all paradox games have native linux builds
Basically every game runs fine on Linux, just not those games with strict anti cheat.
Xenia should have been our official mascot. C'mon, Linus, make it happen. The penguin is boring.
Sex sells, Linus.
It's not even that. The character is a transgender furry. It pretty much represents what Linux is. You have the freedom to modify it and customize it to make it whatever you want it to be and make it yours.
