Hi everyone. I wanted to vent for a moment and draw some conclusions based on the current state of gaming on Linux, in particular the competitive multiplayer factor.

starting from the assumption that I play a lot of time on the PC, I am a manjaro user who has tried many distros and modified various aspects of the operating system.

I believe that all Linux players choose this platform because it is actually more fun to use, there is a greater connection between user and machine and it actually makes the PC more “unique”, as well as, of course, all the advantage factors as they can be greater security, customization and respect for privacy.

Now, I’ll be clear and concise: Doesn’t it just piss you off how all of us are treated by corporations? I mean: Linux has all the potential to become a gaming system equal to or superior to Windows. literally, we are the “different” ones who play here for reasons that are evidently insufficient in the eyes of the companies.

I had about 600 hours on Apex, I’ve been playing since season 5, I think. and yet, does the way they treated us seem normal to you? are they lazy and therefore cut about 4% of the players due to an anti-chat problem, which in my opinion is unjustified? It’s not Linux’s fault, and it’s not ours either. we are simply helpless.

from the point of view of single players, Linux is easily similar to Windows, in the sense that the support is practically equal to it: Linux is perfect for all those games without antiquity and the performance is, except in rare cases, excellent. yet, the only company willing to move away from windows and deepen support for us is valve.

not to underestimate their commitment, but do you really think we will be able to have compatibility for multiplayer games equal to at least 85% of windows?

do you really think that within a certain number of years we, understood as a community, will be considered a little more by companies?

forgive the outburst. I needed it.

Comment with what you think about this situation…
