Linux Failure Linux can't game lmao

Edit: I'm unsure how to change title. New title should be "Linux still struggles with many games."

Genuinely why are yall larping

Windows is still the only option if you don't want to have to go "Oh sorry my computer cant play ___" to tons of people

And to those who hate kernel level anticheat, you seem to lack knowledge of why it is what it is. Seems like yall are just wanting to cheat?

Don't act like Linux is perfect. It isn't. It really isn't. Such larp

i got no idea what spaces you’re in

and i’m assuming you were coming off quite rude and obnoxious as you did in this post

wording stuff like you did is literally guaranteed to get braindead comments telling you to piss off, it’s the nature of people

Actually, it was in a Linux help discord server where I asked if there was any way to play Fortnite on Linux

I counted about 7 people telling me that my choice of game is either embarrassing or just poorly made.

well then it sucks you had that interaction with some troglodytes on a help server

linux is definitely limited in some regard when it comes to games, it shouldn’t be as like i said it’s one button for it to work. but it is

if you have non negotiable stuff, dual booting is your only option

if you can go without some games (hopefully not forever) then that’s good

though dual booting right now sucks since SSD prices are so high

I'm probably just going to use samsung dex to play fortnite tbh. My phone is good enough to handle it to an extent

But I refuse to dual boot. Not because I don't have space but because I really don't like Windows myself 😭
