Does that mean that Honkai games still can't be played on Linux? There goes my idea of giving Star Rail a try.

You can, but you shouldn't

Not under my roof

speak for yourself

I recently learned there’s an entire fork of proton entirely for “anime” games (dwproton). They be dedicated

Primarily, there are a few EAC games that haven't checked the 'Linux allowed' box yet.

I stopped playing completely when they broke anti-cheat on Linux. I was already waning on the game and that sealed the deal for me.

Yea they removed Linux support in 2022 or 2023 I think? I used to play a lot with my friends but I’m not installing windows just for that game so they lost me

Anti-Cheat topic I believe

Yeah this is only a win if you don't play those games. Unfortunately these games are intensely popular and the lack of compatibility stunts the popularity of Linux. I expect there is a similar anti-meme of this list titled "why I'll never install Linux"

Mechwarrior 2 Titanium trilogy, arguably the best games EVER MADE (fight me, wetnose) doesn't really run on anything beyond Windows 2000. I simply refuse to update to any OS that doesn't retain the functionality of my games.

the only times i've had trouble playing a game on linux are when the developer specifically fucks with it so it won't run on linux. the main reason for that is kernel-level anticheat software, which, from what i've heard, doesn't really help with cheating much anyways. my computer is my computer, i don't need microsoft or some game company going into my kernel. can't wait for some drm company to get hacked and have windows gamers up in arms because they got ransomewared.

Agreed, I switched my gaming rig to Linux for 6 months and was so excited to get things working. Went back to windows on it because I kept going to play with friends, and would often have to mess with Proton versions (again) to get the game working.

I really enjoy the Grounded games, so when Grounded 2's early access was about to release I switched back to avoid dealing with those issues.

Still rocking Linux on my non-gaming devices though, aside from SteamDeck.

Yeah, I’m lucky that my main games of interest weren’t blocked from Linux when I switched. If I had a friend group that played BF6, it likely would’ve been a harder decision

People will always come up with a reason to stay with what they have.

They are addicted and hooked to a scam that Harvest their resources

I imagine Linux can run most of those. Odds are the OP just didn't try hard enough.

What is completely understandable.

sober is the project name that ports it to Linux

I've got a decent rig and rimworld chokes at a reasonable farmyard size. What's your secret?

Steam runs them just fine with Proton Experimental as well

The game's anticheat is very tame generally. I've seen some friends run all sorts of cheats with no real repercussions, only getting a one week temp ban for editing their damage to the maximum integer limit.

Last I played the game was single player... fuck these companies man

That trash even requires you to enable secure boot. Get the fuck outta here with those ridonkulous requirements 😂

I agree with you that these memes are a little silly, but I also agree with the overall point that it's actually good that these games don't run on Linux. It has nothing to do with my personal taste in these games though, and everything to do with privacy violations via kernel-level anticheats, and getting people addicted via dark patterns like microtransactions, gacha, and FOMO-inducing battlepasses.

No, no, no - this is all wrong. I don't consider you a person unless you self-flagellate at the terminal daily, compiling from source in dependency hell while being cleansed by the vim fires at the altar of Tux.

This species of Linux user reminds me quite a lot of Catholics.

It's a meme, I don't think folks are meant to view this as something other than ironic.

My particular taste in video games is that they are not predating on my kernel bitch whatafuck is wrong with you they should not be allowed to do that

I don’t play any of these particular games but I have other software that doesn’t run on Linux without considerable effort.

Anything that isn't a game can typically be run on a virtual machine.

It does, the launcher and updates, too.

GTAOs anti cheat engine has a Linux option.... Rockstar just hasn't turned it on.

Same, I got in just and the end of the good stuff so didn't have that long to really enjoy it. I did love my time playing but there was so much that made it clear it was only gonna get worse. Seeing Bungie fall like that really sucked, they had been my favorite game dev all the way since halo 1, and look at them now...

Yo

No even then GTAO can run... If rockstar just enables the Linux anticheat on the engine they are using...
