EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.
PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.
All hail Xenia.
Already dual booting. Haven’t used Linux since 2010 so it’s been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven’t booted into windows for about 2 months now and it’s been great for gaming.
Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.
Valve is working on it.
Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.
There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!
The only game I have not been able to get running via steam/proton has been pubg.
Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.
I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.
I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.
Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you’re curious about and if I own it I’ll try it out.
My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.
Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.
Appreciate any testing you are able to do.
Just downloaded and played stardew for a few. Seems to work fine.
Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Stardew Valley have native Linux Support. For Stardew, even the third modding API works flawlessly for me.
For the other ones, they are reported to run well on protondb.com, which is a good place to check Linux support (not only for Steam games). The reports there usually also list, which proton version works well.
Off the top of my head all but STO will work no issue
ProtonDB says STO is gold rates, but you gotta use the experimental branch. Otherwise, will work pretty flawlessly
PROTONDB is gonna be a great resource: it’ll tell you how playable any game is right now using Proton (you can force non steam games to run proton ezpz by launching through steam)
Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.
I haven’t had any issues with any of my games.
For anything not on steam, there’s bottles or lutris, both of which work amazingly well.
I’ve heard good things about Bazzite if that’s an option for you.
Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.
I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn’t Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can’t wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.
Helldivers 2 is reported to work on Linux. IIRC the anti-cheat only requires kernel level access on Windows and runs in userspace on Linux.
Interesting, I’ll have to give it another try soon then. Thank you!
When I stop needing Windows, that’s gonna be one of the first distros I try. Haven’t tried the atomic distros properly yet.
I spun up a win10 vm in bazzite to run my CAD and Windows specific stuff and have basically not used it in months now. The libre office suite has gotten much better over the years and most of my normal usage just didn’t end up being OS specific. Its been a great and easy transition for me.
Nice. I’m hoping to get there eventually, but work stuff is keeping me on Windows.
you don’t have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don’t are probably because of anti cheat which won’t be solved with steamOS.
Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it’s a pre-2017 chip, so it’s not Win 11 eligible (which I’ve always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn’t work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.
yeah, part of me is happy these abusive rootkits disguised as anti-cheats “don’t work” on Linux. We customers shouldn’t be putting up with that crap.
I’m buying a Windows 11 license.
And a new PC, or are you lucky enough to have sufficiently recent hardware that will support it, unlike thousands of others with otherwise perfectly good hardware?
I hope you enjoy your experience with it!
Thanking the heavens my distro doesn’t have a mascot to embarrass me with (yet)
You don’t need one :-)
I always imagine linux as a little hidden door to a speakeasy, but turns out to be narnia.
Debian ahoy!
I hate how relatable this is.
As an engineer who’s worked exclusively with Linux for 25 years this meme makes me want to buy a windows license.

If that’s your point, I counter it with AROS
Starts handing out the complementary cat ears, miniskirt, and programming socks to incoming Windoze users.
This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows
lol, 25+ years for me. Fortunately it looks like I just have to avoid certain distros. Hopefully mental-illness will go out of vogue soon, so we can move past all this garbage and get back to computing.
Sounds like weakness to me comrade.
Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
I think I’m hopping to TempleOS. It’s going to take more than Windows to save me from this.
I might be there with you. Going to try avoiding the distros that attract the mental-illness crowd first. Maybe I have to go back to Slackware.
Well, TempleOS was made by a guy with schizophrenia so it won’t help in that regard.
Big thing holding me up is domain auth. Someone had decent luck getting something like Bazzite joined to a DC without major manual work?
Ubuntu has official Microsoft AD support and allows domain joining during setup. There are downsides to Ubuntu as well, though, so if that’s not an acceptable answer just know support exists and can likely be ported to anything with some effort.
Can confirm Bazzite is just fine with domain auth, no special intervention required.
Authing against a Synology NAS domain which is presumably running Samba under the hood.
Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn’t see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.
I’ve tried before, that sounds horrible, why are you doing that to yourself.
I’ve worked at not small companies who still thought that was too much work to mess with.
Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I’d like to maintain that state.
I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn’t seem to work with any of the ‘AD compatible’ replacements I’ve tried.
Not bazzite specifically, but I have joined Linux systems to LDAP with the SSSD module which is…alright to enable and config in AD
I have joined MacOS to AD as well and THAT was like pulling teeth LMAO
Dont associate me with these weirdos.
Can’t stop, won’t stop
Why not?
some of us dislike being associated with animal fetishists, you see
that sounds like a “you” problem
it isn’t, but I forgive your stupidity
Definitely not an animal fetish… You’re confusing furries with zoophilia, completely different thing. Most furries I know would bust out the baseball bats if they heard someone in the community was a zoophile
“definitely not an animal fetish”
oh so it’s all zoophiles making all the furry porn on sites like furaffinity, not furries? how strange! it would seem that furry communities have, in fact, a disproportionately large amount of zoophiles making pornography that fetishizes animals in their community. Y’all should probably do something about that! After all, it’d be kind of weird to beat it to porn featuring animals instead of porn featuring human beings if you weren’t, yanno, attracted to animals.
or, y’know, it is actually an animal fetish. But I’m sure you’re totally unbiased and thinking objectively, given your instance. lmfao
You are smb who calls people watching loli porn pedophiles. While I don’t like the content I can differentiate between fiction and reality.
You are smb who calls people watching loli porn pedophiles.
… yes, because the definition of pedophile is “someone who is sexually attracted to children”. It doesn’t matter if it’s fictional or not, the definition of the word makes no distinction, so why would I?
also, hey, fun hypothetical while we’re at it! would you let someone who beats it to loli, babysit your children? Because I sure as fuck wouldn’t. Being fictional or not is irrelevant.
The entire reason for furry porn is that the furries are more human than animal, it’s like werewolves. But you’re out here being a weird puritan shoving your views on sex down everyone else’s throat, so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.
Find a hobby, my guy.
The entire reason for furry porn is that the furries are more human than animal
really? then I have a wild concept for you, something even more human than furry porn: actual fucking human beings, you brainlet. If you were attracted to humans, you’d beat off to humans. by virtue of choosing to beat off to furry porn, you are clearly attracted to and therefor fetishizing animals. that isn’t “a weird puritanical view”, that’s simply an evident truth to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. But it’s okay, I forgive your stupidity.
so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.
I’m supposed to have a goal? that’s news to me. All I did was answer the question that some of us dislike being associated with animal fetishists, in response to someone else asking why a linux user wouldn’t want to be associated with them. At which point you promptly got offended on behalf of all animal fetishists and tried to spin it as being something other than what it is, and I don’t care to indulge your fantasy. If you want to delude yourself, that’s your problem, but nobody else is obligated to play along, least of all me – and if you don’t like it, then find another hobby, my guy, preferably one that isn’t disgusting. c:
feel free to keep being a salty degen though, too, it is funny to watch.
“degen” lmao ok buddy
No.
