jarfil, do gaming w Why there are few native Linux games compared to Windows or even Mac?

Because traditionally there were few Linux devices.

Android 15 is going to change that: it comes with a virtual machine API and a Linux Terminal running Debian for ChromeOS compatibility.

Soon, the most popular consumer OS in the world will be Linux:

  • 3.3 billion: Android / Linux
  • 2.2 billion: Apple iOS/macOS *NIX
  • 1.6 billion: Windows
  • 400 million: Windows 11 + WSL 2.0
  • 250 million: gaming consoles
  • "millions": SteamOS Linux

Wine might still make sense to keep things standardized for some time, and as a compatibility layer for older games, but native Linux games will also work on the Linux solutions for Android, Apple, and Windows.

Petter1,

If you count apple, you can count android already now. Android is more Linux than apple iirc.

Android is linux based and macOS is BSD based, again, iirc.

jarfil,

Yes… it will kind of depend on which layer of compatibility will a game require. Debian is Linux + GNU, which is what most people identify as “a Linux system”. Android uses Linux without GNU, but starting with Android 15 it will come with a VM (container?) system to run a GNU userland. Android can already run Linux distros via Termux, which can be set up to run a desktop, but having it by default will mean apps will be able to use it directly. I’ve just tested RetroArch on Android, with DosBox to run Windows 98… but that’s kind of a mindfuck of its own 😂. macOS is BSD, which shares the POSIX interface with Linux, but it does some things in a different way, however there is a GNU userland for BSD, so games using only that, can run on it already. WSL 2.0 is a full first-class VM with full Linux + GNU and a desktop interface that can coexist with Windows… since Windows 10/11 itself runs by default in a Hyper-V VM (the bootloader is Hyper-V).

Petter1,

I definitely read your comment not correctly 😂

But yea, soon, most devices can run Linux apps just like that, per default

😆macOS (and it’s various variants of course) is then the only OS not coming with a container/VM built in it running linux 🤔

Kit, do games w Parts of Playstation network might be back.

I was playing Apex and any time there was a Playstation player on my team the framerate dropped down to like 5FPS for minutes at a time. So I think it’s still struggling

MothmanDelorian,

My team was all ps so maybe?

Yeah, it’s showing me and some friends online. Can chat, but still having problem with online games.

MothmanDelorian,

Fortnite launches and I can have friends join. Going to try a match in a minute.

Interesting. Once you are in the game, I think it’s all Epic servers, so should work, but it’s possible there’s still some weird PSN connection that may stop it from working.

MothmanDelorian,

Im in playstation chat so something works

MothmanDelorian,

As others have said, play Civ 5. Better game with all the bugs worked out, and cheaper.

Flashbacks of playing Metal Gear Solid 2 at a time of frequent unexpected power cuts. Painful.

crusom, do zapytajszmer w Jakie jest wasze doświadczenie pisania matury z informatyki na Linuxie?

Pisałem mature na Linuxie i poszło mi bardzo fajnie. Ja podszedłem do tego tak, że w czasie ferii przerobiłem wszystkie nowe matury (czyli od 2015) i tyle. Te zadania są podobne do siebie, więc jak je sobie poprzerabiasz rzetelnie to powinno ci dobrze pójść.

Co do samego Linuxa no to Libreoffice ma trochę inny interface niż microsoft office, więc po prostu musisz troche w tego base’a, czy calc’a poklikać, żeby go ogarnąć i tyle. Jak coś jeszcze chcesz wiedzieć to pytaj.

Podsyłam też link do moich rozwiązań matur, może ci się przyda: github.com/crusom/matury-informatyka

To be fair, Mass Effect has one of the most convoluted modding processes and dogshit communities of all time. Other games are easier lol.

I was doing it for the Legendary edition to be fair. I dunno if that makes a difference at all. I ended up just sticking with a couple of basic community patches, staying in casual outfits on the Citadel and such in ME1, and upscaled cutscenes. Anything more than that was just way too fuckin confusing.

Oh and adding back the same sex romance options in ME1 and 2. I had no idea that was an option but my gay ass is super happy to be able to romance Kaiden throughout all 3 games now. Time for a break from Cortez, my beloved.

FeelzGoodMan420,

Haha awesome! Actually i was referring t9 the original trilogy being terrible to mod. I’m not sure about the legendary edition.

BananaTrifleViolin, do games w Are mods usually confusing as hell or am I just an idiot?

Genuinely not had a problem with mods, and I’ve been PC gaming for decades. Of course sometimes mods don’t work but thats life. Just be patient, you’ll get it done.

Decent mods have a readme file - follow the steps strictly - no skipping thinking you know better - and they should work.

Also look on YouTube or search online for guides - people often provide step by step guides to mod games purely out of a love for gaming.

Keep going - mods can be great, and its one of the many benefits of PC gaming. You’ll get there!

Is that half-life generation? Damn, I bet kids these days haven’t even heard of that one.

Zahille7,

Just looked it up and it was basically Orange Box before Half-Life 2

At one point recently I bought a two pack of USB Blu-ray burner drives for $25. Optical media is so dirt cheap now that the readers are BOGO. Gave one to my partner, the other is still serving my physical media needs very well.

HakFoo,

Where? That sounds like a good price as internal SATA BD-RE drives tend to be $60+

Mostly Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. Feels like this game took half a step forward and two steps back, compared to the first part. It tries to do a lot of things and doesn’t do many well. There’s minigames-ish for so many things. The open-world stuff kinda tries to be Assassin’s Creed lite, but all zones are huge, but pretty empty, with the same two types of “events” in them (go somewhere or fight). Of course, the game has a shitty crafting system, so you can pick up material in the empty zones. Combat is a bit better than before, but then the devs managed to craft the perfect enemies to make some fights feel like hell, even worse than the worst fights in Remake, and I’m not even done with the game yet. I’ve played the game for 40 hours, but the story has barely moved. I think there’s supposed to be an alternate timeline, but I think I’ve seen like five minutes of it. It’s been pretty disappointing so far, but I still like the characters, so I’ll continue playing.

Then a bit Baldur’s Gate 3. Started another Honor Mode run, going with pretty much the same party build as my first run, where I almost made it. The full fighter playthrough has to wait for the next Patch.
