(The “Windows” slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur’s Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)
I’ve been 100% Linux for over a year now. If it doesn’t run, I don’t buy it.
That’s the attitude that we all need to have. Same here, if anything doesn’t work on Linux, I ain’t buying it.
I even got a refund from steam when rocket league lost Linux support when that one company bought it
Rocket League runs fine on Linux, they just lost native support.
The issue has never been that games can’t run on Linux. It has always been a simple question of “will the games I want to play run?” More than ever, that answer is yes, but if your favorite game doesn’t, or if you never want to worry about “will this upcoming (online) game let me play on Linux?” then you use Windows by default.
Like, I love y’all, but the Linux gaming community on Lemmy is kinda insufferable with the straw-man “people think games can’t run on Linux” argument. That’s just not the issue
This has been my concern too. It’s great that we’re seeing some specific cases where Linux benchmarks faster than Windows, but that doesn’t mean a damn thing if the one thing I’m trying to play just full on won’t work.
Telling me that I can just also run Windows is counterproductive. If Windows will do everything I want, and Linux will do only some of what I want, now you’re trying to sell me on increased complexity and difficulties and learning a whole new system, without actually getting rid of the problems that come with running Windows in the first place.
