any civ 1-6 all run perfectly

Can you give more detail on this? Specifically how if you have any experience getting civ 2 to run? The only way ive managed to get it to run any time in the past few years was through a win 3.11 VM (even modern windows)

Actually more importantly I want destiny of the doctors working (a win 95 game) but I've had no luck so far

There's stuff like ALVR to do VR in Linux, but last I checked (admittedly around a year ago) it wasn't that great, it "worked" but I wouldn't consider it playable

I have heard they've made progress sense then though

@CorrodedCranium

Mod managers frequently require a fair amount of extra work and reading

That's one complaint I do have sense switching to linux, I wish that there was a linux version of vortex (or MO2 or what have you) so that modding can be made relatively simple for more than just a few games that have easy workarounds

@Zeus
@ActualShark
Agreed, the one issue I had with steam (trying to get ALVR to work over a year ago) only happened with the flatpak version

Functionally it's a laptop with a controller built in instead of a keyboard, plug it in to a dock with a keyboard and mouse, and even an external monitor, and you have a linux computer

If that is the case, then the Deck probably still contributes indirectly, at least in my case I switched a few months before the Deck started shipping, but after it was announced

And while I was slightly familiar with linux and interested in switching before, the Deck made it so that I felt safer and more confident doing so

Unfortunately my phone is not rootable (every phone I get from now on I'm gonna do more research on first to make sure I don't make that mistake again) but otherwise yeah that's amazing

@sabreW4K3
To bad there's no app to turn your phone itself into a live USB, I would have loved that a few months ago

Same here, I haven't used a default wallpaper for more than a few minutes since the xp days

Some games do run better some don't, I wouldn't call it most but it's not an insignificant amount either

@MrEsoteric
But yet, it seems like the majority of Linux users have nvidia anyway.

Probably becouse it's more popular among windows users, so when most people switch to linux from Windows, they use the hardware they already had, which more often than not includes an nvidia GPU

@rysiek
@likeaduck

and then to mean non-Apple computers

I call Macs PCs to this day becouse of those ads

At the very least you'll probably be able to get a refurbished one later for cheaper

@leninmummy
This is another one of those things I've heard about but not experienced, I use my computer every day and haven't had any issues in over a year at this point

@tabular
@Andonyx
Agreed on all points, I didn't end up finally switching to linux until I got so fed up with the auto update caused issue I was having that I just got rid of windows entirely

And while I at first switched to Ubuntu, I wouldn't be happy until a few months later when I landed on fedora with KDE

@Madnessx9
@SirFredman
If the game has anti cheat look here https://areweanticheatyet.com/

@shapis
I'm gonna keep using fedora for now, largely becouse I don't want to go to the effort to set certain things up all over again, but I'm at least paying enough attention to what's going on that if they do something I see as to far I'll switch

Still not sure what too though

@lhx

Couldn't agree more, I even got it working on an old phone at one point
