Linux Mint is so awesome.
I have many linux distros running in the house for servers and self hosted software but the one box i havent swapped yet is my daily driver system. Microsoft is pushing me ever closer but with some titles still not supporting linux and getting to the end of a day i just want to game not debug something.
Its getting close though. Fuck this timeline. I looked at Pop OS and bazzite as out of the box gaming distros but am open to anything.
Want games are holding you back. Between lutris and steam's proton compatibility I personally haven't run across much.
All of EA's new titles use Javelin anti-cheat. It uses a Windows kernel module, so it's not possible to run with Wine/Proton.
Given that EA forces users to run what is effectively a rootkit just to play their games, I feel like the only good choice is to stop playing those games altogether. Or, at the very least, compartmentalize your gaming machine and the network it's on.
Yeah this along with their insistent focus of producing AI slop makes me not even want to look at games from EA. I admittedly haven't even tried any recent EA games but that has more been due to lack of interest in their recent titles.
