HolisticStorm Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Does anybody here game on Linux? I have used Linux on and off. It is pretty amazing how many games will now run natively on Linux, but it still cannot compete with Windows in that regard. I am going to set up a VM with GPU passthrough soon so that I can have near-native graphic performance on a Windows guest running under a Linux host. I think that this will be the best approach; it isn't perfect, but it's the best way to game comfortably without allowing Microsoft constant and unrestricted access to your data.

skyfire Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 I have few humble bundle games on Linux box. But there are not many big games I have on it. I would love to get some of the games on the linux box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Nope, always had and used Windows. I used to run and stalled Linux for fun and whatnot when I was at collahe with old PC hardware laying around and laerning and building what Linux had. Many many years ago that was.

HolisticStorm Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Linux gaming has advanced light years since just a few years ago, so if you give it a few years, it is very likely that Linux will be viable for gaming. I have also heard rumors that Microsoft may use the Linux kernel in a future version of Windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
