Some of them might be able to run just fine in Proton though I haven't tested any of them. Games that use EAC already run in Linux that way.

I started dual booting just to play it. It was disappointing.

I have run genshin on both the steam deck and a relatively old laptop running mint.

Neither was without hassles, but it played fine

Yes, they changed the anti cheat on it and explicitly blocked Linux a few years ago

Read again. Not "runs destiny" (as in the game) but "runs your destiny" (emphasis mine). It's a joke about faith controlling your fate.

Ps5 is based on FreeBSD, unless you've literally jailbroken it and replaced the OS with linux

League of Legends has official controller support (from I've heard). The graph will need to be updated when the game inevitably hits consoles.

Pretty well during those rare moments where I still play. The GPU I use is unfortunately EOL (GTX 1080 Ti), but it's nice and smooth. Basically native performance.

Go to Haiku. Maximum incompatibility but still with a slither of daily usefulness.

The latter has recently been made possible if you have a super old, unupdated PS5 that still has the launch firmware.

Linux can run all of these things. You have to actually understand Linux.

This is like, "Without saying it, let me explain I know nothing about Linux and I blame it because I didn't rtfm"

oh no, making linux usable for more people who stick with windows because their games don't run. that is so bad and definitely not what we want at all, apparently. linux bad now, because epic and nvidia exist.

are we fucking for real right now?
