yes, as long as ppl don’t try to run malware masquerading as video games that is
Is the little Tux inviting you to play, or does it not know how to hold a gamepad?
My kid after I helped them install Windows for Fortnite: “Ugh, Windows sucks!”
I’ve been gaming on Linux for a few years now and it runs anything I’ve picked without issues (even bigger stuff like Baldurs Gate 3). In fact I’m surprised how smooth and trouble free the experience is.
Linux is pretty much flawless for single player gaming at this point.
Linux is pretty freaking good for a good chunk of MMO’s and multiplayer games, too… But you have to approach these games with caution and research to make sure the one you are interested in doesnt have invasive rootkit anticheats… cause those games wont work on linux, and thats entirely because of the game dev’s choices, not a linux issue.
I’m doing this daily so: yes
In a case like SteamOS where it’s custom built for the hardware, then yes. As a general set it up yourself situation on a desktop, then no.
(You guys severely underestimate the ‘mainstream’ gamer)
Fedora kde takes like 5 min to set up and start downloading games on steam. Not sure why you think it’s not ready.
Indeed, I’ve been exclusively running Fedora KDE on both my desktop and my laptop for a little over a year. It took all of maybe an hour to get it installed on both, get steam and all of the applications I wanted installed, and be ready to start downloading games on both computers.
I also have yet to find a game, aside from games with kernel level anticheat and a small handful of VR titles that isn’t perfectly playable. Some have needed a little bit of tweaking to run optimally, but if you’re a PC gamer that’s par for the course.
An hour is less than a windows pc fresh install. After you download each driver for your mother board etc. Fedora was steam and the nvidia driver. It was like 3 commands.
I am a pc gamer but I don’t have a massive library. Chose punk, read dead, forza 5, doom, and the command and conquer package is what I mostly play. 0 issues with any of them and I didn’t have to tweak anything.
I haven’t tried vr yet, letting that one bake in but I’d like to try MS flight simulator or dcs with vr
