  Said the person who did no research has no idea what they’re talking about. Steam OS has been pushing game devs and publishers to be more compatible with Linux, not less. Additionally, the only online games that really have problems with steam OS are ones that require kernel level anti-cheat, and we all should be pushing for the downfall of that. It isn’t necessary.

    Linux supporting kernel level anti-cheats is an amazing feature, in my honest opinion.

    And so Cod works now? Yeah, that’s not a thing. Does Paladins work? Oh, yeah crap. Was GTA V online compatibility killed? It was? Oh, damn. Does Destiny 2 work? Oh, you mean the developers threatened people with bans if they tried to play the game on Linux? Oh, oh crap. How is VR going on Linux? Not well.Oh, damn. 🤔

      I do VR on linux, I don’t see the problem? And of the about 500 games I own, there is only a handful that doesn’t work on Linux. And most of those are specificly designed by the creator to not work.

      Valve has been doing an absolutely awesome job with the compatibility layer and making it easier for devs to port natively to Linux.

        VR on Linux is a pain in the ass to set up and while Valve has done a great job you still can’t rust that all your games will work. Linux is amazing for web browsing, document editing, and retro gaming. Especially if you don’t wanna deal with Microsoft but it’s average for modern gaming. It’s still not there yet.

      COD , GTA and Destiny 2 compatability was killed by the developers, not by Linux. VR (ignoring that it’s a gimmick which is going to die soon enough) works fine.

        They don’t work on Linux. No matter who or what you want to blame. Also, yes VR works if you go crazy trying to get it to work.

      COD - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (RICHOCHET).

      Paladins - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (EAC).

      GTA V - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

      Destiny 2 - Requires Kernel Level Anti-cheat (BattleEYE).

      This is the fault of the developers themselves not making those games compatible with Steam OS, and has nothing to do with Steam or Linux and everything to do with the developers themselves. So, if you’re going to at the blame game, blame the correct people.

      I don’t know about VR in Linux, but it looks like the other people in this thread have me covered on that and they have explained in detail what’s going on there.

      I’ve been on this space since the original steam machines. You either have no idea what it was like 10+ years ago with Linux gaming, or you’re being willfully ignorant and not finding out anything about what’s going on now and you’re salty for reasons I don’t know and don’t care about. Do not at me. I don’t care what you have to say if all you’re going to do is be sardonic and caustic. You have a nice day.
