While I kind of agree we should have more native games, I'm very happy that I don't have to install Windows in order to play my favorite games.

I mean what that person described is true, but I can tell you it's the same game of whack-a-mole on native #Windows. That's just what programming is, really.

Also, native Linux games are popping up left and right.

#Windows

chasing down moving targets is just what happens when you make a game engine built on any OS, that describe just software engineering. I never really got this ideological purity bullshit.

i was going to say i think there could some point to discussing whether making it easier to run windows executables is actually bad for the linux gaming ecosystem. but i don't want to piss you off.

hmm. Let's see the checklist:

Running Linux? ☑️
Playing games? ☑️

Seems fine to me. Nothing to be gained by dismissing the amazing work people have done with things like Proton that make Linux gaming so much more viable now than it used to be.

I think Linux is in a very interesting state right now. I have no doubt that whatever advancements are made in DirectX13 will impact which games work with Proton. If the Steam Deck had not come out, I believe developers would not think twice about breaking Linux support. However, now that there is proven money to be made by ensuring compatibility, developers are more likely to prioritize Linux support.

Uh...? I'm running Linux, I'm playing games... Seems like Gaming on Linux. What even is the point they were trying to make?

"Your game doesn't come packaged as a raw UEFI binary that your computer boots directly without using any middleware or APIs to run? Are you even gaming bro?"

Why feed the troll, hell, why Streisand effect him by displaying his idiocy for all to see on your mainline feed? I would never have even heard of this guy if you didn't screencap his post and put it here.

He's not even really technically incorrect but we're still gaming on Linux regardless of the method how and proton as it gets more patches is more versatile and can create a dynamic environment that best runs a game while windows has a fixed environment that is itself, moving.

I'm not trying to police what you post, I'm asking why you want to give attention to an asshole. You're free to do that as you wish, it's just kinda like, giving him the attention he wants.

I would prefer native games, but I also don’t know how people actually have issues gaming on Linux.
All my AA and indie titles run great, and I don’t play anti cheat p2w unoptimisable crap.
