The only thing holding me back from diving headlong into Linux is gaming support. I've been a windows user since W98. XP was the shit, 7 was rock solid, ten was pretty good, but it seems like Microsoft is dead set on speedrunning enshittification with 11.
True. Gaming is extremely awesome on Linux compared to a few years ago right now, though. Anti-cheat holding you back?
Everything on steam works except modern anti chat games.
If i knew it was this good... Woulda jumped sooner
Er, what's a modern anti chat game
It's a typo, should be anti cheat.
You can chat away to your heart's content.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for example runs Ricochet Anti-Cheat on kernel level which fundamentally contradicts Linux architecture and will never run.
Easy Anti-Cheat is an example where the devs gave in paving the way to a proton addon which allows you to play Apex, for example.
A game where using the in-build chat is a bannable offense.
A modern game with anti cheat software.
