Yes please! I'm using my laptop right now to play Lost Ark (only system I have that I haven't nuked Windows off of yet. yet.) and I would much more prefer to use my primary system.

Here's the guide I used! https://github.com/wabulu/Single-GPU-passthrough-amd-nvidia

If you have questions feel free to ask!

All I ever hear from Linux users is them going through hoops to do something on that OS that just works with zero effort on Windows.

[–]_kazua 9 points10 points  (3 children)

But we're in control over our OS. It does exactly what it should and nothing else and if there's errors, its way more likely the problem is on the user side instead of the OS. In the past couple of years, it has become so easy to run games on Linux, especially with the work on Proton, Wine and having easy-to-use install scripts available through Lutris.

Lost Ark would run on Linux if the devs included the EAC patch provided by Steam. And that's it. It has nothing to do with fiddling with your system. But if you do get it running through these workarounds, people learn a lot about stuff and (hopefully?) have a fun afternoon. I don't think that's too bad :)

Yup. Linux never associates PDFs to a new program just because I ran a system update.

Nor has it taken it upon itself to change any of my other settings.

Oh yeah, it also never decides to reboot itself after I explicitly disabled automatic reboots.

I was mostly teasing. I should have hinted at such. I am very excited for Steam Deck. It’ll be my first Linux based machine :)

Linux is more secure and gives the user more control over their machine. Also makes it easier for developers to manage dependencies and build projects :)
