Gaming on Linux hasn't been great so far...

It's been a little while since we did our first Linux video... so today we talk about the performance comparison between Linux and Windows with bonus footage...

Follow-up video to https://lemmy.world/post/32690521

Spoiler alert: the main reason he says the experience “hasn’t been great” is because shortly before posting the video his Linux install mysteriously broke and he had no idea why. Therefore, he recommended dual-booting Windows just in case.

Cue sea of comments explaining that the reason for the error he was getting was that Windows screwed up his bootloader (i.e. the problem was caused by dual-booting to begin with, LOL).

    I do a lot of sailing and none of the installers work on Linux. 100% windows and sometimes they have Mac versions.

    So, I need a windows machine to do some work and transfer the installed game to my Linux machines.

    The amount of work necessary is not conducive to the chill gamer lifestyle I have cultivated for 40+ years.

      I’ve had to occasionally tinker to get stuff working, but I never had an installer that just didn’t work.

      Heroic launcher has always worked well for me in that regard.
