Linux is now the best gaming system. ｜ fernvenue's Blog

When it comes to gaming on Linux, many many many people’s understanding stil remains in the Jurassic era. For the past few years, I’ve been using Linux as my main operating system for both work and gaming. From my personal experience, the gaming experience on Linux is far superior to that of macOS and Windows. I know I know…whenever I mention this, there are always some old-school individuals who come out to say that Linux’s driver configuration is complex, its game support is not rich enough, and its compatibility issues are significant, among other problems. In this article, I will directly address these issues and let everyone understand how much the gaming experience on Linux has developed by 2025.

    Honestly at this point those fanbases are allowing companies to expand on anti-consumer practices to a similar degree as sports games. I wouldn’t feel bed if they started being left behind as well

      You’re not wrong. I would never install a rootki- I mean anti-cheat on my machine regardless. But the point stands.

      No one’s “allowing” companies, the companies see the profits from MTX and are going full steam ahead in that direction. The users that don’t spend on MTX aren’t considered because they’re not profitable.

        Ok…

        the companies see the profits from MTX

        How the fuck do you not understand this connection and how your 2 statements contradict each other? Players are ALLOWING this slop (not just MTX, which you laser focussed on for no reason) by continuing to give them money.

        Stop just repeating thoughtless “gotchas” when they’re (at best) only marginally relevant. Come up with actual arguments.

        There’s an old relevant quote: “it’s better to keep your mouth closed and thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt”

          I see you’ve elected to ignore the “be respectful” proviso, sure lets go.

          You added nothing to the discussion except that you didn’t like my argument or me.

          Enshitification is coming at us from many angles. I chose to mention MTX in my throwaway comment on a chat board. We’re not sitting session at the International Parliament of Stuck up Linux Gamers are we? Well, you seem to be. Most people either don’t care or at least don’t care enough to push back. From a corporate perspective as long as enough money is coming in, they wont care either. Crawl back into your niche and go fuck yourself you obnoxious internet cretin.

            You were the one who decided to ignore that first with your insistence on using pedantry.

            You added nothing to the discussion except that you didn’t like my argument or me.

            Are you sure about that? You’re the one who started with the pedantry and deliberately misconstruing arguments.

            I’m not even going to bother addressing the rest of your last reply because it’s clear your comments aren’t even worth the electrons used to cache them. So long, and may you not waste any more of other people’s time. Your thoughtless bootlicking will not be missed.
