Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever

Reply in thread

Sure, but from the end user perspective, it doesn't matter whose fault it is - the result is you can't play a game you otherwise just can in Windows. We know it's their fault.

If you never play any games with anticheat that's fine, but all it takes is one game, and then later another, and then later another, to make Linux a dealbreaker for many gamers. These are not unpopular games.

It can be the whole difference between someone sticking with Windows but itching to make the switch, and someone actually making the switch.

What good is 90% of games working if you have 3 games that you really want to play that don't work?

Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown - Demo Out Now!

Really enjoyed this demo.

Some people didn't like that there was no voice acting, and apparently the devs said on discord that there will be voice acting added later (albeit not the Voyager actors). No voice acting didn't bother me, but clearly it bothered some people.

The one real weak point of the game is the combat, which was very average - but it has an auto-resolve button to just skip it on a dice roll with the modifiers you use (like which crew you use in the battle).

Google won’t stop replacing our news headlines with terrible AI | It now says AI headlines are a ‘feature,’ not an experiment.

I tried switching to DDG for a month or so and I felt like the search results were not quite right, and google was at least equivalent quality, but more often just better.

It was a huge shame because I don't want to stay on google for all the reasons everyone is talking about.

I asked someone else who tried to switch away from google and they said the same thing.
