    I guess wanting to play a game that’s replacing a game that runs well on Linux and is made by the company that has done the most to improve Linux gaming while using an OS that doesn’t spy on you and treat you like a toddler is a poor life choice according to you?

    Maybe some of us have things we care about more than just maximum game compatibility. The horror.

      If you’re gonna do something, do it right. If you’re gonna game, use Windows.

      If you’re gonna do literally ANYTHING else, use Linux for that lol

        No. I don’t think I will. I had a dual boot machine with both Windows and Linux on it for years for that very purpose. It sucked. I hated it. I eventually got most of my favorite games working on Linux and just stopped using Windows completely, and that was before Valve released Proton. If Linux gaming stopped working completely I’d go back to being a console gamer. I just dislike the experience of trying to use modern Windows that much, and it’s only gotten worse since I left.

        If you don’t think that’s “right” then your opinion is worthless to me. You can do whatever the hell you think is right, and so can I.

          So angsty. Windows has its quirks, but it does gaming better than any other OS, and that’s a fact, I’m sorry you don’t know how to use Windows but that’s a you problem, not a Windows problem.

          I’m also not trying to troll, just being honest.

            I’ve been using Windows since Windows 3.11. I’ve tried every new version of Windows that has come out since. You’re on an obscure open source reddit alternative. Nobody here is confused by how to open an Excel spreadsheet. If you think me not liking something is “angsty” that’s a you problem. Gaming on Linux is great, and I don’t care how it is on other operating systems. Don’t tell me to do things I don’t enjoy to have fun. That’s just stupid. Telling people that they’re wrong for having fun in a way you don’t approve of is just weird and bad.

              I’m not telling you to do squat, I am simply stating facts.

              I’m not calling you angsty because you don’t like Windows, I’m calling you angsty because of your angsty energy in your responses.

              I get it that you’re passionate about Linux it’s pretty obvious, I am passionate about Linux as well however I’m not delusional to the point where I deny windows as the ultimate gaming OS.

              My original point and the reason you started conversing with me is that anyone on here complaining about their games not running on Linux should probably spend their time better by installing a copy of Windows on their machine LOL

              I didn’t join this community to read posts about people whining about compatibility issues for games that were designed to run on an entirely different operating system, that’s a given and if you run into compatibility issues well that’s the bed you made and you might as well sleep in it. I joined this community to read about other passionate Linux users who are enjoying playing games on Linux.

                You joined to read about other passionate Linux user who are enjoying playing games on Linux, but none of them are ever allowed to complain about anything ever?

                Also, just for the record, if you ever find yourself on the internet explaining how someone feels to them then you are wrong. No exceptions. Tone is notoriously interpretable over text. Your interpretation of my tone is not justification for childish insults.

                And holy crap, not wanting to use Windows is not the same as a delusional denial of reality. There are problems on Linux. A lot less than there used to be, but still significantly more than Windows. That doesn’t mean the only valid options are never complaining or installing Windows, especially for a native Linux game. Which the game we are talking about here is, by the way.
