Astrobot! Loving it so far, we started it just yesterday and trying to complete 100% levels, enjoying every minute of it! We now understand why’s last year GOTY…

Honestly, I still don’t know. My 3070 worked well on linux the last time I used it so hardware won’t be an issue. I also don’t play many modern games so that’s not a problem either. It’s just my partner is schizo with what games they wanna play. Rn they’re obsessed with minecraft and bedrock doesn’t work on linux. I know for sure I’m not going to 11 though. I’ve used it before and absolutely hated the UI layout.

secret300,

First off, bedrock is cancer it’s just off-brand Minecraft.

But second, there is an unofficial launcher that works on Linux

Full Linux, I’m not installing that anti-privacy, ad-ridden Windows 11 OS. It’s dangerous to use an unsupported system, so I’m going to be deleting my Windows partition. I know I’ll run into some issues on Linux, but I’m forcing myself to learn more and work through them!

Haven’t played much but it’s Deus Ex: Mankind Divided still. Only at the beginning so far, doing side quests and exploring Prague. Really enjoying what I’m seeing so far and already am feeling bad for how the series got cut off and cancelled.

Didn’t they get rid of some 11 requirements? Won’t most regular people just do the upgrade to 11?

JackbyDev,

They didn’t get rid of it, they’re allowing you to upgrade to 11 and calling it unsupported. Just like 10 is unsupported.

LeFantome,

With Win 11, you still get the security updates though right?

JackbyDev,

Yes, the “not supported” thing is just their terminology. They could decide to stop pushing them at any time. Though technically they could pull the plug on anything whenever, but they’re explicitly saying “we might stop supporting these unsupported Windows 11 installations at any time.”

I literally just swapped my key for my win10 pc’s to win10 ltsc iot with mass and now dont have to worry for wayy longer. I suggest everyone without the option to switch to do the same.

cryptid,

What

ILikeBoobies,

They bought the long term commercial version of Windows 10 instead of upgrading to 11 or Linux.

They suggested other people do the same

cryptid,

Thank you, I just couldn’t make my brain wake me up inside

“bought” is an interesting word choice when they used massgrave :D

The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you’re a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft’s shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

Suck_on_my_Presence,

I’m on Mint and have been for 2-3 years now and I’ve never had any problems with non-valve multiplayer. I don’t use any VMs and just run everything through proton and have never struggled.

Battlebit, Helldivers, Lethal Company (+mods), Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Minecraft, and Split Fiction to name a few. I guarantee there are others I’ve played, but I can’t remember.

trouble,

Can Linux run Valorant?

Nephalis,

No Kernel level anti cheat will ever work on linux. But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.

pinball_wizard,

But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.

Sort of, right?

We know Windows will continue cracking down on kernel module adds, since the Crowd strike disaster.

But I figure most anti-cheat will just shift to non-kernel and keep working.

Of course, at that point most anti-cheat of will then work under Proton, on Linux, too.

Which was maybe your point.

Okay, I don’t think I added anything for you, but I’ll leave this in case it helps someone reading along with us.

Carrot,

Watching you reason this out was fun

Thanks for this link, neat to see that Uncharted Waters Online apparently runs on Linux despite it’s ridiculously strict anti-cheat. (To this day it’s the only game I’ve played that had an issue with Process Explorer running in the background 🤦‍♂️)

@DimFisher@lemmy.world avatar

Does it really matter? I have xemu (xbox emulator), retroarch for anything else, and PSX2 to be sure on Lubuntu, combine together how many games all those have and you just don’t need steam

blixtuwu, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I already moved to linux (In my case Linux Mint) two weeks ago ^^

Zarxrax, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

A couple weeks ago I attempted to switch over to Linux. Tried installing both Cachyos and Nobara. It was kind of a shit show, nothing worked correctly, stuff was erroring out and crashing left and right, and after a couple days I gave up.

Today I went ahead and installed windows 11. There were some issues… It wouldn’t recognize my CD key, and I accidentally wiped a partition from the wrong drive. But as for the os itself, I spent a few hours getting things set up, and it’s not as horrible as I thought it would be. I was able to simply turn off most of the shit like copilot and recall, and all the advertisements, and I pretty much have it working as I want it to.

RedditRefugee69,

I’ve been using Linux for years and I’ve never heard of the distros you just named.

I’m not surprised at all that you had trouble using niche distros. Try something more popular with good documentation so you have a community supporting you with bug testing, guides, and Q+As when people run into issues you might run into later.

Zarxrax,

My priorities are being able to run Davinci resolve and Steam games. Nobara ticks those boxes while advertising itself as user friendly. I have heard too many stories of people having trouble getting this stuff running on something like Linux mint, so I didn’t go in that direction. I need to do more with my computer than just view web sites or write code.

hobbsc,
@hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

maybe try bazzite? i’ve found it to be a better experience than nobara and steam games run fine for me, aside from the obvious big titles that have anticheat issues.

they have a guide for davinci resolve, too: universal-blue.discourse.group/t/…/1197

Zarxrax,

I don’t really feel like going down the rabbit hole of trying a hundred different distros to maybe find one that works. My experiences with those two were that things were completely broken, randomly. Like just trying to boot the USB installer would lock up half the time, the installer itself would fail partway through most of the time, when things got fully installed, trying to update or install new things would just fail randomly. The kde desktop would crash just from me changing settings in the kde menus.

hobbsc,
@hobbsc@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

sounds like you’ve made up your mind. wnjoy windows 11!

RedditRefugee69,

I would try Ubuntu in your shoes, personally. It’s got downsides but it’s definitely plug and play. I don’t know what metrics distrowatch uses to rate distros but it’s widely known that Ubuntu is user friendly as hell.

RedditRefugee69,

Where are you getting these distros from? Most popular distros do more than “just view websites or write code.”

Zarxrax,

They are ranked number 3 and 13 on distro watch, so they are hardly unknown. And lots on Linux YouTubers were talking about how great they were.

TheGreenWizard,

If you ever give it a go again, I’d suggest trying to get used to software that you’d need to use on Linux (aka, alternatives that won’t work well outside of windows). I already used a lot of free openscource software that works on Linux like libre office, krita, kdenlive, obs, when i used windows. That made swapping a lot more comfortable. Next I really recomend something like Linux mint, or popos (look up screenshots and decide witch one looks cooler) then, if you are enjoying it after a few months, give arch or nixos a try, or don’t if the distro you use does what you want, and you found ways to make it work for you, then stick with it. I hope the next time you give it a try works out better for you.

kjetil,

Da Vinci Resolve has native Linux builds though and should work. And does on Ubuntu based, Rocky Linux, arch and NixOS. I’m not sure about Nobora (Fedora based).

Though it’s hard to know what went wrong with vague descriptions like “everything was crashing”…

Trying a solo Honor Mode run in Baldur’s Gate 3. Playing a Gloomstalker Assassin, which should avoid getting into combat a lot, and just snipe from max range, if you play it right. If I die, I’ll probably still continue the run. I’ve done the beginning too many times earlier this year.

Jimmycakes, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

Just upgrade yall are so dramatic for no reason at all. If 11 is that bad just switch to Linux.

HiddenLychee,

People might get a little emotional about it but I bounce between Linux Mint, windows 10, and windows 11 and honestly I totally agree that windows 11 is trash. When my windows 10 computer reaches it’s limit, I might try to figure out how to run games on Linux/proton or whatever that is.

TheGreenWizard, do gaming w Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of April 6th

Mass Effect 3 and The Wandering Village, having an amazing time!

Nurse_Robot, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

Who amongst us hasn’t played GTA at least once while trying to drive around and follow all the traffic laws for absolutely no reason at all

forrgott,

Hmm. Nope.

That’s what Streets of SimCity was for!

QuadratureSurfer,
@QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world avatar

Well unless you did sunday driving… And put weapons on your car so you could go around demolishing the buildings you had built up in Sim City.

MNByChoice,

Oh, yeah! Get a car, find a quite park, turn on the radio and chill.

Agrivar,

Every time I log into that game I like to pick a car from my garage, smoke a fatty (in RL), and then drive all slow and chill from my apartment to the golf course. Pretend like I’m afraid of getting pulled over! Then I play a quick 9 holes. Generally, after that, I’m done with GTA for another month or so.

Elevator7009,

There’s a wonderful contrarian-but-is-it-really-considering-it’s-making-the-lawful-choice delight in trying to follow the rules in a game about breaking rules.

No-commentary video of someone just driving in GTA trying to follow the rules of the road. I’m usually really not a video person, but just watching this feels nice somehow.

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

Is there any mission as of nowadays that forces you to drive according to traffic laws in any of all the entries?

If not I propose a very annoying one like the Driver tutorial as the GTA VI tutorial.

gamermanh,

Sorta? Multiple that make you watch your speed, for sure

Driver’s law mechanics in a mission/mode of GTA would be amazing, wanted level system from 2 included (with a way to clear your on-foot wanted, of course)

CheeseNoodle,

People talk about getting filtered by fromsoft bosses but the goddamn driver tutorial was the hardest shit ever; especially since it used a lot of movie terms so if you weren’t really into american movies about cars half the stuff on the list was kind of gibberish.

kratoz29,
@kratoz29@lemm.ee avatar

And that is why it would be fun to troll the worldwide players with such a tactic, at least for a little while, but the world ain’t funny anymore and they wouldn’t do that with arguably the most expected game of the decade.

YiddishMcSquidish,

Fucking driver! WTF is solemn‽
