I regret to inform you that Linux runs Genshin Impact just fine.

Unfortunately, Epic store will soon be available on Linux soon too. Geforce Now already is :(
But I still don't want it
Yeah you do.
Haven't you heard. Epic games and nvidia really care about all of us so much
But not on FreeBSD!
Now I want to see a Bringus Studios video titled "Gaming on FreeBSD, because Linux now runs Fortnite".
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?
ok but what if my ps5 runs Linux
Ps5 is based on FreeBSD, unless you've literally jailbroken it and replaced the OS with linux
The latter has recently been made possible if you have a super old, unupdated PS5 that still has the launch firmware.
You can call me names but I am sad that I cannot play the new Skate game.
Huh I was pretty sure I played apex legends on Linux briefly, years ago.
I have run genshin on both the steam deck and a relatively old laptop running mint.
Neither was without hassles, but it played fine
Conclusion: Linux wins
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"
Or you have to give a shit about playing shitty games. Any way, Linux still wins.
I don't know what you are talking about. I run EndeavorOS. I game just fine. Also have a SteamDeck.
Does it count if I run destiny 2 through a VM with passthrough and a bootleg copy of Windows?
How's that working out for you?
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.
League of Legends has official controller support (from I've heard). The graph will need to be updated when the game inevitably hits consoles.
Linux runs Hunt Showdown 1896, what the fuck else do I need?
As another commenter here implied, there's nothing that doesn't run on someone's Linux environment. Probably even on their slow cooker.
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.
