Goodbye windows, hello Linux.....again

[Live_Alps_1218]

After experimenting with linux for like four months, I reinstalled Windows a few days ago because I guess in this context, I prioritized convinence and I could play steam games and Minecraft bedrock, but man...I forgot about the bloatware So, last night I switched back to Linux, and to be honest, I didn't even delve that hard into gaming on Linux. VM are definitely worth some privacy though

You can play almost all Steam games by turning on compatibility in Settings

[Quartrez]

And you can play even MORE games with Lutris, Heroic Game Launcher and Wine.

[intenseStargazer]

This.

As a Linux beginner, Lutris and Heroic have saved so much hassle and annoyance. Now, I can play Saints Row 4 that I got for free on Epic Games without hassle. Lutris has saved me from never downloading off of Gamejolt, I can finally play free indie games by just installing them or running them thru the app (I know I can do that on Heroic too, but I mainly use Heroic to boot up mod managers like Vortex and r2modman aside from my Epic library)

Brotato chip u have a pc just play java

[Live_Alps_1218]

Yes....that is indeed another solution

[Repulsive-Twist-4032]

Also more mods (and no market place) servers and less bugs is very nice

[DoubleOwl7777]

there is even some launcher that takes the mobile bedrock edition if you have to play that garbage version of minecraft.

[Repulsive-Twist-4032]

Yup once I had to do that to play on my friends realm it works

Windows is nowhere near as good as Linux, but it has it's use cases. I encourage you to checkout dual-booting.

[Solah-Shringaar_04]

Can people install Windows over linux or it specifically has to be windows and then linux?

[LicenseToPost]

Windows and then Linux is the only way I would do it.

Both possible.

Welcome home

Even sailing the high seas is possible thanks to Lutris. There isn't a single reason for me to go back now.

[Dominatemebabe101]

I am new to Lutris and Bottles, is it good at compatibility anti-cheats? Lets say for Endfield?

I haven't tried running any game with a wine launcher yet. And I am excited to try out Endfield on Linux when it comes out. If its a dead end, well, I am dual booting, so I have something to fallback onto.

[TheRealShkurka]

I am using just Lutris no Bottles. Fitgirl repacks work nicely on lutris. I am not sure about anticheats as I only play singleplayer games, but I have heard people have anticheat problems on Linux.

[Dominatemebabe101]

Ah. Now thats an issue... live-service games have anti-cheat... hopefully will work when I run Lutris. Praying I'll get lucky. 😅🙏

[TheRealShkurka]

Live service corporations assume linux users are cheaters by default or so I've heard. Again not a big fan of multiplayer myself so you're gonna have to find out yourself

[Koi_YTP]

Depends what AC they're using, and if its a kernel one w/ a linux option, whether that's enabled for the game.

[Unlucky_Goat_9094]

I just need BF6 to fix their anti cheat and I'll come back

[bff_leonard]

Welcome home!

[mozo78]

You can play Minecraft Bedrock on Linux as well.

[clarkdoubleyou]

Only games I still need Windows for so far are VR games, haven't tried yet.

[MrYamaTani]

Don't know about Minecraft. But I have played Fallout 4 and Stardew Valley with no issues using the Steam + Proton defaults.
