[β] coffinwood@feddit.de 8 points 3 years ago (6 children) Windows runs 10 out of 10 games, Linux does 8 of which 4 only barely run at all. Don't get me wrong: Windows really is the worst OS, except all the others. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 12 child comments replies: [β] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 3 years ago I know there's more to PC games than just steam, but honestly the only issue I've had playing games on the steamdeck is when there's some horrible anticheat service required by the game. I guess the problem is that the games with anticheat also tend to be quite popular ones with some people permalink fedilink source parent [β] Duke_Nukem_1990@feddit.de 5 points 3 years ago I thought the same thing until a couple weeks ago, then tried out EndeavourOS which is based on Arch and comes with Nvidia drivers. It's been awesome and I've been able to play whatever I want. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Nalivai@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 years ago* Out of curiosity, can you name some games that don't work? permalink fedilink source parent [+] stappern@lemmy.one 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] coffinwood@feddit.de 1 point 3 years ago Everybody chooses their own poison permalink fedilink source parent [β] selawdivad@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago My favourite game was always hacking around in Wine to make games work.

Nothing made within the past 20 years has this issue. The only games that don't run on Linux now, are games that don't run on Windows, either The advantage? I genuinely have a much easier time setting up games on Linux permalink fedilink source parent
