I’d argue “mainstream gaming” should mean all the most popular multiplayer titles, since they pull the biggest chunk of the total gamer base. And that means Linux is not ready for mainstream gaming. LoL, Roblox, PUBG, Valorant, Battlefield, R6S. These don’t work on Linux. I think posts like these are very misleading, as some people will think that all these popular multiplayer titles will work fine on Linux.
They really need to start differentiating; between multiplayer mainstream, and singleplayer mainstream, IMO.
I mean, it runs everything I need. But what is mainstream gaming to everyone else? Is it fortnite? Call of duty? Destiny 2? Pubg? Valorant? GTA? Battlefield? (weirdly a lot of shooters), Apex? Siege?
May not matter to people like us but they each command something to the effect of hundreds of thousands of concurrent players. Capable as Linux distros are for gaming (truly the best way to experience classic games) the anticheat situation is no less dire.
Yes. Next question.
My kid after I helped them install Windows for Fortnite: “Ugh, Windows sucks!”
yes, as long as ppl don’t try to run malware masquerading as video games that is
