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.
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".
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.
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
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.

I regret to inform you that Linux runs Genshin Impact just fine.
Day absolutely ruined.
Switching to BSD rn
Instructions unclear, now I'm trapped in a gimp suit
Fun fact: Playstation uses a BSD fork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_4_system_software

Time to switch to TempleOS I suppose.
You mad man.
I think you mean holy man
Calm down, its just a VM nothing really mad about that tbh.
Every machine is virtual, Sherlock. With your detective skills you must really glow in the dark.
Well, I'm Magnum P.I. what did you expect.
A little less deduction, a little more Ferrari!
Semantics, semantics.

He is the Messiah.
I regret to inform you that TempleOS runs your destiny just fine.
Wait, actually?
Read again. Not "runs destiny" (as in the game) but "runs your destiny" (emphasis mine). It's a joke about faith controlling your fate.
Unfortunately, if can only run the personal destiny of the user, as it is divinely inspired. /s
Hopefully they can patch that security flaw soon
*The game. Just not the launcher.
Genshin does run on Linux though?
Now I have to move to FreeBSD...
Go to Haiku. Maximum incompatibility but still with a slither of daily usefulness.
I’m moving to Temple OS, it doesn’t have Internet, so there wouldn’t be a way to download Genshin Impact.
Yeah
not always though AFAIK
I use the Heroic Games launcher, with which you can play your Epic Games Store games. Works absolutely flawlessly.
Nah, it runs perfectly fine. This is a nice launcher if you want to test for yourself:

the anticheat issue is not there anymore?
I've personally never had that issue.
alr then i will assume that does not happen anymore,too lazy to check areweanticheatyet.
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
yes, the latter
The latter has recently been made possible if you have a super old, unupdated PS5 that still has the launch firmware.
Very cool, though there can't be many of those around :(
I'm out here on my Wii running Linux Desktop
Unfortunately, Epic store will soon be available on Linux soon too. Geforce Now already is :(
But I still don't want it
Yeah you do.
Haven't you heard. Epic games and nvidia really care about all of us so much
They just want our best!
And they'll take it
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?
I'm pretty sure that the comment, as well as OP's meme are jokes.
Totally real.. obviously
And I totally don't use steamos as my main gaming console. Definitely didn't sell my quest 2's and preorder the steam frame too
Geforce Now? More like Geforce Later because i don't use Nvidia.
But not on FreeBSD!
Now I want to see a Bringus Studios video titled "Gaming on FreeBSD, because Linux now runs Fortnite".
Don't give madthumbs ideas
I'm still pissed at what Ubisoft did to Rainbow Six after Raven Shield!
And the Ghost Recon games. Absolutely destroyed.
You can call me names but I am sad that I cannot play the new Skate game.
Git on outta here you... you...skate lover
I started dual booting just to play it. It was disappointing.
I have run genshin on both the steam deck and a relatively old laptop running mint.
Neither was without hassles, but it played fine
same
Huh I was pretty sure I played apex legends on Linux briefly, years ago.
Yes, they changed the anti cheat on it and explicitly blocked Linux a few years ago
Conclusion: Linux wins
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.
The games in the list are games that most of us wouldn't want to play regardless of platform support.
??? What is the lack of platform support? You rocking Intel?
As another commenter here implied, there's nothing that doesn't run on someone's Linux environment. Probably even on their slow cooker.
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
Linux runs Hunt Showdown 1896, what the fuck else do I need?
Wardogs ;((
Fuck that company and their Linux compatibility communication... "Somehow worked..." My arse
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.
League of Legends has official controller support (from I've heard). The graph will need to be updated when the game inevitably hits consoles.
I do want to play wardogs 😭
