Linux is all good if you only play singleplayer games. My friends started playing the finals yesterday and it doesn’t run on linux because of EAC. Windows can run all my games without any proton switching and all the nvidia features like ray reconstruction and pathtracing with frame generation just works (alan wake 2 looks so good).
So some random new game is enough for you to change your whole operating system?
I just kept Linux on my PC and bought an XBox because Windows isn’t good for much else.
I just don’t play games that don’t work on Linux. I use Linux for other reasons, gaming is just the cherry on top. I have 100 or so games on my wishlist and hundreds of unplayed games in my library that all work fine on Linux, so I’m not hurting for choice.
*Linux is all good if you don’t play competitive multiplayer games where the developers don’t want to enable EAC for Linux.
There, fixed that for you.
Surprised that people even still play Nexon trash to be honest.Any game that you dont enjoy is trash, got it.
No. Nexon is a well known F2P trash publisher for decades now. Maybe stop your kneejerk reactions and try to see thinks more objectively.
it doesn’t run on linux because of EAC
Nah, it doesn’t work because the developer doesn’t want it to. EAC works really well on Linux, the developer just has to enable it, which takes literally less than 10 seconds.

All the developer needs to do is push a button to make EAC work. They’re probably busy hotfixing the 1.0 but I’m sure it’ll work soon, they are excluding all steam deck users by not pressing it
If it’s that easy, why isn’t there a mod or fix for people on Linux to do it themselves?
It’s configured from EAC, not in code.
Precision guesswork here, but probably because it’s serverside.
I guess I didn’t even think about the possibility that the servers are also running on Windows. Who does that? Ew.
No… They meant that the way EAC works is configured from the game’s developper end. Just like how you can’t mod your equipment in MMOs because your data is being stored on the game’s server
Cool, so since you left linux why are you posting this here?
We all know windows is more compatible by design of the capitalism machine, we left it by choice for a reason.
Every multiplayer game that doesn’t work is because of anticheat. I wish valve actually pushed developers to fix their anticheat and make linux gaming better.
EAC is already Linux compatible. It’s up to the developers to enable it. If you want to push them to do so, then stop supporting them.
Why so hostile? Responses like yours are not going to make people come back to Linux anytime soon.
I have to agree with @semperverus - I find this post as dumb as going to a windows forum as posting about having moved to linux.
In 2023 we still have folks telling linux uses we have to kowtow to non-linux users?
Someone doesn’t want to run linux, fine. Popping into a Linux community to stick your tongue out and letting folks know you are going back to Windows? That’s no better than a troll. Like those folks who used to make a big post to tell you they were leaving reddit or other forum because someone made them angry. (And I don’t mean the Spez debacle)
ALL the shit that’s awful about MS and Windows is less awful to OP than running Linux. OK. Well, that’s free will.
Some things in life don’t need to be announced. No one is shaking their head in sad defeat right now because OP went back to Windows.
You can check on the previous posts i made in this community. It always sucks when a friend wants to play a game with incompatible anticheat and you tell him about linux. This created a bad impression about linux for him. If you want linux gaming to grow anticheat compatibility should be a top priority. Windows is not all that bad if you remove/modify the annoying parts of windows and everything just works.

The person it needs to be a priority for is the developer, not anyone you are addressing here. If it makes Linux look bad and not the developer look bad, that’s the fault of whoever is choosing not to understand the root of the problem.
