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

    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Linux is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Linux community when IDC confirmed that Linux market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Linux has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Linux is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Linux' future. The hand writing is on the wall: Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux. As many of us are already aware, Linux continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    I regret to inform you that TempleOS runs your destiny just fine.

    Every machine is virtual, Sherlock. With your detective skills you must really glow in the dark.

    Semantics, semantics.

    If you manage to run TempleOS on the bare metal, your CPU and fans will be stuck at 100% until you turn it off or your CPU overheats.

    Run it in a VM and you won't have that problem.

    You can argue that anything above Ring -3 is virtual, but "if I do this my CPU's going to die" is a pretty reasonable dividing line between "technically" and "actually".

    Unfortunately, Epic store will soon be available on Linux soon too. Geforce Now already is :(

    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

    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.

    I was honestly tempted to do this for League because that was the only reason I was keeping windows around for so long but I was unsure if there would still be some latency even with pass through turned on

    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.

    These games all explicitly exclude Linux by way of anti-cheat. EAC and BattlEye both have functional Linux versions of their anti-cheats but choose not to enable them. The others are kernel-level.

    Genshin Impact apparently does run fine, though.
