Tech posts and memes are this or rage bait and nothing in between.

“x is the way to do y” “x language sucks haha!” “x language is so good haha!” “x language has so many packages depreciating haha!” "don’t use x do (extremely archaic/impossible way) it’s the only way dude!!”

it’s even worse because tech YouTubers do the exact same thing with popular libraries and frameworks, it’s all ragebait (always has been outerspace meme)

Wouldn’t be a Linux meme without self fellatio about using Linux.

I use Linux because the Windows normies recoil from my computer in fear whenever I open the terminal, like a school of fish around a shark. Sometimes I even open htop if I want the office to myself.

Is this the application that shows more and more code whenever you hit a key on the keyboard?

Not exactly. It splits the terminal into multiple tiles and each one contains a different Hacker screen. Anything from Matrix-style falling characters to echoing a random manpage to a filesystem tree to a character graphic world map.

I’ve gotten to the point where I just assume that the game will work with proton. I’ll check protondb if it’s an expensive game but other than that I just pretend I’m using Windows.

The crazy part is games run better and I don’t have to set my region to JP to play… uhhhh… JRPGs. Not to mention I can’t relapse into playing League with That Guy.

I am looking at switching to Linux soon. I really want to be able to keep playing my old WH40k games and my City of heroes and my other MMOs. So you are telling me these will run fine on Linux? I am new at this Linux thing so forgive me.

In my experience, Linux has been superior for older games because proton (the compatibility layer that makes windows game work on Linux) has a ton of old windows components packed in that are broken on modern windows.

The main issue people have these days are with newer multiplayer games and anti-cheat not playing nice with proton.

Modding can also be a bit of a hurdle if you’re into that sort of thing, but with a bit of work it’s doable.

I have a lifetime STO account and I like to do a taskforce every now and then. Maybe I should just keep a machine that runs my MMOs and do everything else on the Linux machine. EDIT–I just looked this up and it will run through Steam

Compatibilty of Windows games in Linux have gone a long way, partly but also independently from Steam’s work on it.

In fact Linux nowadays supports more Windows games than Windows, as especially older games still work there but not on modern Windows anymore.

I will not pretend that there aren’t games with issues, but in the vast majority of cases that’s new games and for the simple reason that some publishers actively go out their way to prevent them from working on Linux (highlights being anti-cheat tech that Linux worked hard to make it compatible, yet with certain publishers intentionally not setting a simple flag needed to run, often with totally made-up “reasons” about Linux’ insecurity…).

not really an expert at warhammer but steam has done a lot of work in compatibility of games.

you can check protondb and lutris.net

The main hurdle is modern anti cheat. Many old games actually work better on Linux because of fans making dedicated tweaks.

Dawn of war works great for me, ive also managed to play space marine one and two, (granted one is a bit of a pain in the ass to get working) ive also gotten Gothic armada 2 and gladius to run. As far as I remember the only one that didn’t work out of the box was space marine 1 and that’s because of some stupid DRM that’s been put on it. I’m on Pop!OS for reference.

I can even run games that don’t work on modern Windows, like Fallout 3.

I’ve been meaning to try out the new version of React OS

It probably still won’t work well but it is cool that it is still a work in progress.
