With proton, this is less and less the case.
Indeed, God bless proton
Basically, I tried proton and I’ll never go back.
The overhead of windows is so heavy
what is proton? what does it do?
Proton is a translation layer that uses Wine and other tricks to allow you to run Windows games on Linux. It’s a Valve project that is making a ton of progress on compatibility. It’s a huge part of the success of the Steam Deck.
Nowadays I felt dirty whenever I boot into Windoze, that’s why get rid of it
Everything I want to play runs on Linux and the couple that don’t are because of EAC, which I can’t be bothered with. I’ve completely cut Windows out of my life.
If only. Usually my Manjaro partition is chill, but the moment I step foot in Windows 11, it throws a pissy fit and breaks something it shouldn’t even have access to.
If Linux just calls you a cheater, Microsoft sets you and everything you love on fire to make a point.
Windows: “Looks like your bootloader was corrupted. I went ahead and reinstall it. No need to thank me, I was just doing my job. What’s that? Grub? Nope, never heard of that guy.”
Windows: “While updating I found out that some weird thing was set as first boot priority. I fixed that by setting it to myself. You are welcome!”
When you don’t use windows for a few months, you’ll feel like that on first boot. ‘Oh, you haven’t used this program on your desktop in a while (lists entire desktop). You want me to clean it up into a folder, because you don’t use it anyway? I would also like to attend you to some urgent updates you need to install right now, and after that I have updates for your updates waiting, like 3 increments in a row with reboots each.’ And of course, during the chore of updating, Edge appears and becomes your default browser. Take that you dirty cheater!
This is fake, where is the wrong system time? 😂
Meanwhile, my Windows partition back in 2017:
My Windows partition is a vm that has its own 4060Ti and that I use via looking glass.
So it should behave or the host will just kill it off.
In my experience, gaming on linux has been better than on windows
It‘s really sooo much better. But it lacks in one area: PCVR. SteamVR for Linux feels a bit more janky, but that’s not really the main issue.
The issue is that, to stream from PC to the quest line of devices, you need oculus’s software, which only runs on windows.
ALVR exists, but its compression and latency are considerably worse in my experience.
So I have a small separate SSD for windows :(
