Is that last 10% all about DRM and anti-cheat?
Basically yes.
I tried playing the BC Piezophile demo recently but it kept crashing on the main menu.
I’m someone who doesn’t do tinkering. If it doesn’t work then I move on to a different game until it or proton updates.
there is a single game i can think of that straight up refuses to run under wine for actual technical reasons and that’s gnoll hack because it apparently uses some extremely specific parts of the .net library that wine can’t do
As someone who chiefly plays single player games: yup, that tracks. I’ve played Cyberpunk 2077, Nioh, Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2, the list goes on. All on Linux, no issues. In fact, over the past two years the only game that absolutely refused to run is an obscure title called DeathSprint 66.
What’s the best distro for my desktop? I’ve been mucking around with some on an old laptop but haven’t attempted any gaming on it outside of some simple emulation.
Bazzite seems to be the go-to answer for linux gaming.
Though, shouldn’t it not matter? It’s all linux. It should all perform just the same.
Linux mint installs easily (to be fair they all do), is familiar to Windows interface and has a big button to install nvidia drivers.
Mint or CachyOS.
CachyOS runs 10% faster but it’s Arch-based so it’s not as easy as Mint.
Good to know, I’m hesitant to go 100% arch on everything until I have a better handle on CLI.
You can either get a usb with ventoy with Fedora, bazzite and Cachy is and try them all out or there’s a website that lets you use any of the distros from your browser, it’s called distrosea
Amazing, thank you!
But not League of Legends 🫠 Thanks anticheat
Thank god. Now nobody can try to convince me to play it. “You should give it a shot. I think you might like it” “sorry, I use Linux. Can’t do it…oh well”
