This is already true for the vast majority of games. ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Except for more and more multiplayer games unfortunately. If you only play single player games, Linux gaming is awesome. If you play with your friends, the shitty anticheat situation means you may need to keep Windows around. I have Windows 10 just for Fortnite because my friends play. GTA Online just killed Linux play by adding BattlEye. Just today, one of the biggest online games that did work on Linux including its anticheat dropped support (Apex Legends). We desperately need a way to fight back against this bullshit, because it's undoing all the incredible progress we've made. Valve needs to start banning games from their store for retroactively breaking Linux support.
I guess you could play Roblox instead and deal with child labor ๐ซ
Roblox also doesn't work on Linux IIRC. I don't play it but it was in the Linux gaming news cycle a while ago that they broke Wine compatibility, not sure if it was anticheat related or not.
yeah it was their own anticheat. you can play it perfectly fine (except scrollbars are a bit fast) with Sober though.
Could you just spin up WIndows VM if you have decent computer like 16GB RAM and somewhat powerful GPU?
