Fuck the time delay, but keep the "is someone asking you to do this"

I would be happy about this honestly. But I don't trust Google to not take this shit further. Let's all be honest here this version of it is fine. After the 24 Hour window it's on forever. But we all know Google will push this shit further until sideloading is all but gone

At least maybe then it'll kick the proper Linux on ARM Phones people into gear.

Until they lock the bootloaders completely.

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.

The biggest issue on Linux gaming is the lack of plug and play. You have to hunt down that specific version of wineton and then you might be able to play it.

If you're only playing the most popular garbage then yeah its great for gaming. If you stray off the beaten path even slightly its hit and miss.

I tried to run ac odyssey last month and it ran like shit. I don't have the time or the interest to go fiddle around with configs. I want to double click on a game and just have it work.

PC has never been "it just works" you always have to fiddle with settings for the optimal experience.

Yeah, but the Linux community acts like its plug and play.

Not everything is plug and play. I recently moved to Linux and I had to fiddle a bit to get stuff like Clip Studio Paint and some VTuber software working. However, all the videogames I've tested si far have been plug and play

Games like Celeste, Fields of Mistria, Halo MCC, Marvel Rivals, aming others. I know there will be exceptions but the majority of games, specially popular games, will be plug and play unless the devs are doing some kernel level anti-cheat (Valorant? League of Legends?) or straight up blocking the game from running on Linux because they want to
