It works nicely, and I use it for VR games, but it doesn’t really solve the anti-cheat problem, because these anti-cheats tends to not allow VMs anyway.
How is the company fucking me, if I enjoy playing the game and get my money’s worth?
Perhaps Linux isn’t the right operating system, but it’s competing with Windows, which is more or less a jack of all trades. Linux today isn’t a jack of all trades, mostly a niche solution. That is fine, but we can then not pretend it’s for everyone.
Meanwhile, I’ll keep trying with Linux, hoping one day it will be the jack of all trades and I can seamlessly use it.
A jack of all trades is something that does a lot of things reasonably well. I’d argue that Linux is exactly that.
Your only issue seems to be with certain types of games not working. That’s not the fault of Linux (as others have explained), but it seems like a fairly niche situation, so I don’t think it applies to your “jack off all trades” argument.
Would you say that MacOS is not a “jack off all trades”? It does a much poorer job with games than Linux…
That’s not “Linux isn’t ready”, it’s “I still play games from companies that like to fuck with me.”
It’s fine, and we get it. But Linux isn’t ever going to fix that.
Luckily PCI pass-through using IOMMU works nicely these days, but I honestly still keep a Windows 10 partition for this…
