I know a lot of you don’t care if these games run or not, but really does suck they don’t. I’ve talked to quite a few people that wouldn’t switch to Linux because X game doesn’t run on it.
the only times i’ve had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won’t run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i’ve heard, doesn’t really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don’t need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can’t wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.
I think one of the games got hacked via their anticheat and we’re able to mess around with other players. I don’t remember which one it was though. I don’t play any of these games so they all blend together for me
Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.
I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2’s early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.
Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.
Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn’t really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn’t retain the functionality of my games.
Yeah this is only a win if you don’t play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled “why I’ll never install Linux”

Shame.
Shame, shame, shame.
What would you recommend I do so that I wouldn’t have ran into those issues? Suck it up and keep dealing with the headaches?
I’m no fan of Windows either, but it lets me play games when I want to play them.
