Again, 70% of all Steam games are playable on Linux thanks to Proton. Only 20% are unsupported, and 10% are not yet tested. That's huge compared to when you had maybe 1% of games having a native Linux version.Neophyte wrote: ⤴Fri Jan 05, 2024 8:57 am Most games work on proton. Even things like easy cheat will work. The dev just has to put in one check mark on their end.
You can check: https://www.protondb.com/
That will show you which games work and how well.
And just FYI, the STEAM Deck also runs Linux.
Let me start off by saying that you should do what is best for you. Forget about Microsoft, Apple or Valve making money. All for-profit companies have one goal in mind. That goal is to maximize shareholder wealth. They are always going to try to figure out new ways to take the money out of your pocket and put in their pocket. Blaming companies for making money is kind of like blaming a chicken for laying eggs. Chickens lay eggs. Companies try to make money.archmage6x3 wrote: ⤴Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:49 am I want Linux to be viable.
I hate Microsoft and Apple.
I also have no choice if I wish to GAME.
Like so many before it seems.......I came, I tried and I am leaving again because GAMES.
Better luck to the rest of you and I hope one day that gamers can come over to the community en masse.
That's really the key point. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another person.Professor_Slughorn wrote: ⤴Wed Jan 10, 2024 1:24 pmLet me start off by saying that you should do what is best for you.archmage6x3 wrote: ⤴Fri Jan 05, 2024 5:49 am I want Linux to be viable.

My suggestion would be to upgrade to Win 10 and enjoy playing the games. Do what makes you happy.
The tricky part of this is how much effort should you put into getting a game to work in Linux? A day, a week, a month?
I was referring to Linux in general. But, I guess the same applies for an individual game. As much time as you are willing to spend. That tolerance is going to be different for everybody. But, if someone is a beginner then you have to expect things will take longer to figure out.Professor_Slughorn wrote: ⤴Fri Jan 12, 2024 1:00 pmThe tricky part of this is how much effort should you put into getting a game to work in Linux?

That is not a link to Microsoft - it's a scamarchmage6x3 wrote: ⤴Sun Jan 14, 2024 11:19 pm A quick google search will show you that the "policy" for win 10 is the ISO is free to download. One may freely install to one machine for personal use. Activation key gets you the capability to change desktops/screensavers and a few other cookies.
For someone who has lots of Windows games, this is clearly the answer. I did not know this a few months ago to be honest. Like you, I thought I were looking a "about another hundred".
How wrong I was.
A win 10 key from the Microsoft Store right now as of this timestamp is $24.99

I will give 6 bucks to the bulk dealer in South Korea because it is cheaper and perfectly legal for me to do so. How a legit online store with years of operation and millions of customers gets its keys is not my business. I am not the global internet key sales police. I am a customer.
Is it legal for ME to buy? yes. Is it cheaper than the other options? yes.
I am done after that. Arguments are nice and morals are cool and none of that pays my bills or gets me an extra point on my investments see?
If you pay more than thirty bucks to activate cosmetics on win 10 you got ripped off.
If all you need is the raw functionality then the iso is free from microsoft to install and use.
MS pretty directs you away from Windows 10 and to Windows 11 for which a legit key is $134 - I suppose you could call them or if you looked hard enough you could get a legit Windows 10 key from them but I really didn't want to spend all that time trying to do that.Hold on, this website isn’t safe

Just for fun I checked Walmart out and did some research on the Walmart Windows product keys - which they do sell pretty cheap.archmage6x3 wrote: ⤴Mon Jan 15, 2024 1:34 am for a better reference the Walmart online page I found is selling activation keys for 37 and some change?
and since Wal Mart is American god they can never be wrong.
