Who puts up with this shit anyway? Go buy an Apple. You can eat it while installing Linux.
Had me in the first half.
I stick around with Windows due to shitty DRM and VR compatibility. It's been a couple years since I last tried Linux, so maybe it's gotten better. I should probably try it again.
ALVR is totally capable at playing steamvr games if you have a quest headset, and htc headsets work aswell as valve indexes
I'll have to look into ALVR. I've got an Index.
I also remembered that I wouldn't be able to play The Crew 2 due to shitty DRM, as well as Forza Horizon, unless I re-purchase it on Steam, as the windows store edition doesn't work on Linux (from what I understand). I really don't want to dual-boot again. I'll wait just a bit longer for Linux to get better and windows to get more enshitified.
The valve index has native linux support so you don't need alvr or anything, its the same setup process as windows. And for most games with drm, pirate them. its just better.
That'd be wild if it works. Might have to try Linux just for that.
The DRM and Anticheat (that I forgot to mention) games are online, so piracy isn't really an option so that's still an issue :/
forza 5 cracked works fine if you dont want multiplayer, and the crew might get a crack but still hasnt been cracked to this day
Have been seeing this same comment for two decades now so I'm guessing -
Narrator - "It hadn't"
It has. It's been two or three years. In that time the SteamDeck has launched, bringing huge attention to Linux.
The question is whether the things that I want to play have improved.
That’s great, I’m in! Now, workflow – how do I install Adobe Audition?
That's the neat part - you don't! Fuck Adobe.
