During last gamenight with the friends we decided to play halo infinite. We all had a good laugh that the two on windows were the only ones crashing
It’s hilarious to me that I have to jump through so many hoops to get my old games working on windows when they run almost out of the box on Linux, but on the flip side with all the launchers and shit built into AAA games today it’s a hassle to get them set up on Linux. Like once I do get them set up they work great. But lutris, proton versions, winetricks, etc to get them working is an activity
This meme would be so relatable if I had any friends.
Haven’t run into a game yet that doesn’t run on Linux when using Proton. 👌
Most of the games not running today would run perfectly if they did not have some bullshit anti-cheat implemented (Easy Anti-Cheat is I think the worst offender here).

see my reply to another comment here. I mentioned EAC simply because most games use it and don’t enable the required flag for Linux support.
There’s no shame in dual booting. Moving all your non-gaming stuff away from windows is a big step in the right direction.
It’s crazy how much better things are now. I had the same reaction some weeks ago when I wanted to play Leathal Company with friends and remembered I’m on Linux while they all used some 3rd party Windows only mod manager. One day later I found r2modman in the AUR which automatically recognized Steam + Proton and everything just ran. And there is even a Titanfall 2 cross platform mod program!!! The sofware support just keeps getting better every day.
