I know, but it's the game my closest friends are often playing - but I've been playing it less and less so I might actually end up removing Windows completely if the next expansion doesn't go well.

Like 90% of everyone here already uses Linux, and those who do use Windows only use it because they are forced to because of work or some proprietary program that Linux doesn't currently have. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Trollception@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago I use Windows because I prefer it over Linux. I mainly play games on my PC and Windows never gives me any issues. I don't need to have any compatibility layers and overall there is no hassle. permalink fedilink source parent [–] datelmd5sum@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago* Linux gaming seems to be always a bit behind with driver support. Last time I tried it there was no HDR and it was a dealbreaker for me. This time I'd expect FSR snd frame gen is not at the same level they are on windows. My work laptop is still Linux, I boot to Linux on my personal computer if I'm doing my own projects. My homelab server is naturally Linux and so is my personal laptop... but I still do basically zero Linux gaming. permalink fedilink source parent
