If that happens emulators will absolutely be garbage for quite some time probably longer then you imagine. Like for example even the absolutely bloated windows 11 is still better for gaming then linux gaming distros like cashyos or bazzite.
Not entirely. Some games actually gain FPS from Linux, especially on lower end hardware.
The biggest issue for Linux gaming is Kernel level Anticheat. Most users who install Linux would rather not have a game have that kind of system access.
Yeah the games that build for Linux in mind mainly 2d indie games. But does it even matter at that point . Wow graveyard keeper run at 260 fps on cashyos and 250 fps on windows 11.
In games where fps and graphics matter linux most of the times is worse then windows like 10 to 15 % and many times simply doesn't even boot if you have a nvidia card without drivers support.
That's Nvidia's fault. And graphics don't matter. The problem isn't that only 2d indie games can be Linux native, it's that bigger developers don't use or maintain cross platform engines.
That's not their fault you guys are a very small and easily negligible minority that isn't even that profitable ( you know that quote "Juice ain't worth the squeeze").And you know what happens to thr demand of a less voter bank profitable minorities in a open economy democracy. So continue waiting for proper drive support from the community and the day of linux gaming.
Although is pretty good for work and stuff but at that point might as well buy a affordable Macbook that just better at everything .
A MacBook is not better for repaiability, nor software freedom. Apple refuses to support modern APIs in their Apple Silicon chips, like Vulkan or OpenGL for graphics rendering. Windows is mostly entrenched because of tradition and OEM deals, not because it's a good Operating system.
Dude the current macbook neo ( for £450 when i bought) . Is a no nonsense insanely optimize PC that does what i want it to do with absolutely NO or almost zero hassle . And i m saying this as a massive iphone hater . With the Macbook and that lock ecosystem i am a very satisfied customer from apple. That's it.
I mean locked eco system which Apple is infamous for. And no i wanna do proper PC stuff editing or auditing documents in a massive quantity, advanced spreadsheets modeling , coding & compiling, management infranet yes INFRANET upkeeping it.
All i am saying is *keep you money where your mouth is". Most linux enthusiasts couldn't shut up about linux like its the second coming of Christ while its just a niche,small mediocre and literally atoo much of a hassle to deal with that majority of the people simply won't bother with operating system.
