I’ve been 100% Linux for over a year now. If it doesn’t run, I don’t buy it.

That’s the attitude that we all need to have. Same here, if anything doesn’t work on Linux, I ain’t buying it.

Nice. You can run rocket league on heroic launcher btw. I have it through the epic store. Works flawlessly

I didn’t bother because I got plenty of playtime from it and got it through the Steam Controller/Link bundle as well. But I did consider it since I was ticked about losing Linux support.

Same, since 2013.

I’ve found that often the game is listed as not linux, but runs fine with proton anyway. So I often buy, and refund if needed.

Huh, same here, give or take a year (I was 100% Linux before Steam came, which was sometime around 2013).

I have never refunded a game though, ProtonDB is usually accurate so I just check there before buying.

That’s how I’ve been for a few years now. Windows has serious bugs that I encounter all the time that I never encounter with Linux.

Just this week alone… screenshots stopped working, usb microphones were stuck on mute, and the taskbar crashed preventing me from using any touchpad gestures or even accessing the start menu to restart.

The task bar was fixed with a restart but the other two issues required a reinstall of the os. I troubleshot those for like an hour without any solution.

Haha that’s pretty funny. And I whole heartedly agree.

I know! I have to use windows at work (IT Admin) and using powershell always makes me wish the software we need ran on Linux. Just today I needed to extract a partition image with dism and it just did nothing for half an hour before the progress bar even came up. People say that Linux is buggy but gnome gives me way less headaches than windows 11.

Windows unfairly gets the reputation of being more reliable than linux. I’m just waiting for my work to make one app available on Linux and then I’m switching.
