Check Proton DB. If the games you enjoy work fine on Linux, which is the case for most games these days thanks to Proton, you should be good. The big exception is games with kernel-level anticheat.

If not, you can always dual boot for the few games that don't.

I made the switch to pure Linux gaming when I got my Steam Deck two years ago. Been loving it ever since. Even SteamVR games work great streaming to my Quest headset.

If your computer takes 15 minutes to boot.....something is wrong. Even when I ran Windows on a non-SSD it didn't take that long.

Pretty much. They also enforce usage of the Metal API on iOS, AFAIK. No idea why they don't just adopt Vulkan across the board. It would make game development so much easier.

Yes but there is not a proton compatibility layer, so games can't run. Also, Apple pushes their own API Metal over Vulkan and doesn't support Vulkan. Because Apple. A third party team has to make MoltenVK to translate Vulkan to Metal.

The voices in his dementia-addled brain don't count as "friends".

The joke is that trans people in the tech community are typically developers+Linux users with a propensity to prefer Rust for a programming language.

A lot of people have been pushing for Rust to be incorporated into the Linux kernel more, rather than being mostly C.

It's a joke based on a stereotype.

People bitching about Flatpaks don't understand that they have dedupe built in. You're literally not using any more space and it's easier for app developers to deploy.

Try using Snaps sometime, if you want something to actually bitch about.

Seems like you understand the situation perfectly.

There is a reason the P in GOP is Project.

It's guerilla. Not gorilla. Please spell correctly if you're trying to make a logical argument.

You..... prefer snaps?

I guess we found the one person with that hot take.

Back in my day we coded in assembly and we liked it that way!

Why Bazzite for a non-gaming setup? Or are your parents gamers?

Amen. Not a non-Android one, at least.

The future is bright on Linux

I see what you did there with the acronym. Lol

She supported Palestinians. Not the IDF. She's doing the opposite of supporting terrorists.

Unless you're the Trump admin. Then you just unlock the door and invite them in.

Everybody is entitled to their opinion.

Wow never heard of this application. I'll have to give it a try.
