    Run normal games like fortnite and warzone, and run other games not through steam without needing to install proto tricks and get the right dependencies for every damn game

      That’s like blaming your English teacher for “Don Quixote de la Mancha” being written in Spanish. Linux isn’t the reason those things don’t run on Linux. Fortnite and Warzone developers are responsible for failing to develop for anything other than Windows, consoles, and sometimes Mac.

        Fortnite and Warzone developers are responsible for failing to develop for anything other than Windows, consoles, and sometimes Mac.

        The worst part is, they don’t even really have to target Linux if they don’t want to. The guys working on Wine and Proton have already done the hard work there. All they have to do is not use garbage anti-cheat software, or Linux-compatible anti-cheat software.

        The other worst part is that they do use Linux-compatible anti cheat software, which other games like Apex Legends use and work through Wine/Proton in Linux, but they just don’t enable it for Fortnite for some reason.

      Ah, I can see that you haven’t tried gaming on Linux in the last 5 years. Dependencies? Hah

        I literally have a steam deck and have tried multiple times in the past months, I noted games not from steam.

      you mean games with kernel level “anti-cheat” fitting the textbook definition of malware? Essentially being a rootkit?

      good riddance, although you can patch for example Genshin to be runnable on Linux
