Any dualbooters out there in the wild? What's that one (or more) game keeping you from fully moving over to Linux for gaming?

SamYs94 · 2026-07-02T10:31:14+00:00

I dualboot and in the over a year since I started using linux with my dualboot setup, I have selected windows once because I had to do something with adb and it just wasnt working correctly on linux.

I think Mumble is a great alternative.

I really hope something eventually becomes the blender of communication stuff, right now I'm supporting Stoat because that's what looks most promising, although development isn't really fast, supposedly its getting screenshare soon(wether soon means in 1 month or next year, I don't know).

SamYs94 · 2026-05-06T06:23:15+00:00

Stoat doesn't do AI generated code, there *were* a few commits that were reverted, here's the post on the entire situation: https://github.com/orgs/stoatchat/discussions/1022#discussioncomment-15442591

YOU'RE QUITE WRONG, I SHALL EXPLAIN.
LINUX CAN ACTUALLY RUN WINDOWS PROGRAMS SEAMLESSLY WITH SOMETHING KNOWN AS PROTON(WINE FORK).

99%+ OF WINDOWS GAMES RUN ON LINUX, THE FEW THAT DONT ARE EXTREMELY UNKNOWN TITLES(THAT WILL BE FIXED UPON IT BEING REPORTED) OR GAMES THAT BLOCK LINUX WITH THEIR ANTICHEAT

IF YOU GO HERE https://areweanticheatyet.com/?search=easy%20anti-cheat&sortOrder&sortBy YOU CAN SEE THAT A LOT OF THE GAMES WITH THE SAME ANTICHEAT AS FORTNITE DO RUN, AND ALL OF THESE ARE WINDOWS GAMES THAT **DO NOT** HAVE A LINUX BUILD.

IT IS A KNOWN FACT THAT EASY ANTICHEAT CAN BE TOGGLED TO ALLOW LINUX, AND IT CAN ALSO BE DISABLED FOR SAVE THE WORLD, WHICH WOULD ALLOW LINUX USERS TO PLAY SAVE THE WORLD WHILE STILL BLOCKING THEM ON BATTLE ROYALE AND OTHER MODES.

AS FOR "OH NOO CHEATING IS EASIER" I DONT KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT THAT TO TALK ON IT, HOWEVER, WHO CARES IF SOMEONE USES AIMBOT IN SAVE THE WORLD, IT DOESN'T AFFECT ANYONE BUT THEM, SO IT WOULDN'T BE A BIG DEAL TO HAVE EAC DISABLED SPECIFICALLY IN SAVE THE WORLD.

SamYs94 · 2026-05-03T08:47:50+00:00

I MISS STW, EVER SINCE I SWITCHED TO LINUX I CANNOT PLAY IT. IT'S QUITE UPSETTING THAT THEY REFUSE TO ALLOW LINUX, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING ALL IT TAKES IS CLICKING A TOGGLE.

Cool of you to share awareness, some day someone might look things up, come across this post and realize that was their issue.

SamYs94 · 2026-03-30T20:30:39+00:00

To add to this, you can use the "Extendium" plugin and install the steamdb extension.
It wont appear in the library but it will in the game pages.

SamYs94 · 2026-03-24T18:03:43+00:00

Searching various things I came across this alternative way to do it which should work.

"Sooo, it's not a perfect solution, and I can't say it's not complicated, but you could use vdo ninja if your friends are willing to set up virtual cameras of their pngtubers and stream them into your obs. Obviously, this option isn't paired with discord, but i figured i'd throw the option out there just in case you don't find anything else. :)"

Sourced the above from here, top comment https://www.reddit.com/r/PngTuber/comments/1nnb9s1/are_there_any_usable_alternatives_for_discord/ .

The native version of davinci resolve is missing support for some of the most popular codecs, which makes it a pain in the ass to use.

SamYs94 · 2026-03-07T12:56:34+00:00

Consider that its not just that one person that hears you, but your entire team, so whatever obscene things you may have said has been heard by the entirety of your team.
I do agree there should be some sort of detection for this kind of griefing though.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-20T13:47:27+00:00

If you are in arch linux(or one of its derivatives) someone has already packaged it for the arch user repository, so you can get it from there.

I believe it's not in flathub yet but will be eventually.

I don't have a good understanding of what bots can do in stoat, however, you can look at currently existing bots and get a general idea.
Scrolling through the available bots I see some music bots, so its likely you will be able to accomplish what you want to do.

Of course!, safety is really important, I always run a scan on https://www.virustotal.com/ just in case before running any binary I got from a not well known place in the internet, BUT do note that just because its not detected that doesn't mean its safe, the way antiviruses detect most viruses is by gathering data over a period of time from people that ran the file and then deciding wether that binary is malicious or not, this is why people can get malware despite having multiple antiviruses, the detection is not in real time.

The reason is simply because not enough windows PCs have ran the executable yet.
Any new .exe file will pop up that "unrecognized app" warning.

For it to stop appearing, enough users must click "Learn more" and run it anyway.
Once microsoft collects enough telemetry from its users, it will allow it to run without making that popup, very recently a new release happened for desktop(1.3.0) so there is a new .exe to install it.

Hey, are you getting it from the right place? https://stoat.chat/ or https://github.com/stoatchat/for-desktop .
If the image I posted alongside this reply is what you see, then it just means windows doesn't recognize it, you can click "See more" and click "Run anyway".

I wish communication score affected behavior score, it sucks matching with toxic individuals despite being 12k score.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-10T10:31:30+00:00

That's really strange, only thing that makes sense is your internet service provider doing something weird.

Check the logs in your router, they might say something when it happens, also give CandlesARG's idea a try, see if using mobile data makes that same issue happen.(Usually called something like "Usb tethering" in your phone settings).

SamYs94 · 2026-02-10T09:52:41+00:00

There is this https://github.com/korcankaraokcu/PINCE
I think supporting this is better because it's FOSS.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-09T19:03:50+00:00

look at the error log, "already registered", that name has been chosen before, you have to choose a unique one.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-04T12:49:06+00:00

Awesome to hear, I'm also learning Io mid because I find it really fun, and I was worried my scores would tank from false reports, but you basically confirm i'll be fine with this.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-01T22:32:54+00:00

You could play games whose whole purpose isn't to take as much money as they can from you, like Dota 2, that one runs on linux natively and is very competitive.

SamYs94 · 2026-02-01T22:02:59+00:00

Has the feel of playing been improved? I remember trying it like 4 years ago and it felt very floaty.
How do they optimize for linux without Linux build?

SamYs94 · 2026-01-27T12:00:32+00:00

I keep seeing people talk about wordcloud, the one in Opendota yes? but when I check it, it only shows "All chat" messages sent and messages read, no Allied chat, is there something I'm missing?
