2042 always used EAC, and EA refused to enable EAC for Linux.

This was my experience precisely. These days, installing some .msi or .exe.from some obscure corner of the internet seems somewhat ass backwards.
Only BFV. BF1, BFBC2, BF3 and BF4 all still run perfectly.
Running a 4k 27" monitor under KDE Neon 2.0.4, fractional scaling works better than it does under Windows.
GOG Galaxy runs perfectly on Linux via Lutris. I use it all the time.
CUDA works fine here, in all honesty it’s never given me any problems. NVENC works fine, DLSS1, DLSS2, and DLSS3 all work fine, RTX runs at acceptable FPS compared to AMD under Linux - and NVIDIA Reflex is supported as of VKD3D-Proton 2.12 and DXVK-NVAPI 0.7.
On top of that, FSR is also fully supported - as is HDMI 2.1.
I only use Firefox, and hardware web rendering works fine. Hardware video acceleration isn’t working yet, but running back to back tests at 1080p with hardware video decoding under VLC, the difference between hardware video decoding and CPU rendering is about 5% CPU usage on average running a desktop PC with adequate power supply/cooling capacity as opposed to a laptop with limited power supply/cooling capacity.
The only problem with Wayland under KDE 6 is the lack of any form of sync, but explicit sync has ‘finally’ been merged, and should be supported under the 555 branch of drivers. Once explicit sync is supported, I really have few Wayland issues left to complain about.
Overall, I really don’t experience any showstopper issues that have me wanting for Windows in the slightest.
I’ve been running NVIDIA under Linux for about six years now, with no more issues than one would encounter running hardware/drivers from a number of manufacturers under a number of platforms.
In all honesty, I’ve encountered far more issues regarding HP printer drivers under Windows.
I run both the Epic Store as well as the EA App via Bottles, and I had both up and running in about ten minutes.
You can also install both launchers under Steam via Proton. The process is a little more involved, but far from difficult.
NVIDIA user here, no issues to report under X11.
As someone that’s been gaming under Linix since Steam was released for Linux, these days I’m more surprised when a game doesn’t run under Linux
I still game using Windows 2000 on a Pentium 3 Tualatin based system.
All my retro games run no problem, Tiberian Sun is the shite.
100% agreed. Imagine all of your reserves gone at such a vulnerable age and no recourse whatsoever. I thought your money was meant to be safer in a bank.
Not in all cases. In a number of cases elderly people no longer hold licences and getting to and from the bank isn’t terribly realistic.
Furthermore, I’ve personally dealt with a number of elderly people scammed out of their life savings because they unknowingly gave scammers full remote access to their phone - The phone that contains the banking app seniors barely understand, the same phone their SMS based MFA codes are sent to.
To add insult to injury, the banks are refusing to reimburse any funds lost as they state the client allowed an outsider to access their account and transfer all available funds.
Xwayland makes use of legacy features of X. If we were to compleately drop all aspects of X tomorrow, the Linux desktop would essentially compleately break and become unusable.
The fact is, at this point in time after 10 years or more of development, Wayland is still very much in a state of perpetual beta. At this point in time, and for the foreseeable future, Wayland involves compromises that make it unsuitable for many users.
Hopefully things improve in time, the problem is development is progressing at snails pace.
Except people do notice the change, as a workaround many still rely on certain aspects of X via Xwayland in an attempt to keep things running. Even Steam doesn’t support Wayland.
Fact is, Wayland’s been in development for a good decade or more, it’s still in a state of perpetual beta, and that’s a situation that isn’t likely to change any time soon.
Yeah, no such problem running Firefox here…
I don’t use a game optimised version of arch, I also use NVIDIA hardware, and I have no problems. I run a single monitor and have no need for Wayland at this point in time. X11 just works.
However, I game on desktops. My laptop is for work and that runs an Intel iGPU. It also runs Linux, without problems.
I want one of these asthetically pleasing kernels. I feel robbed.
If it’s shader compilation under Steam, turn it off in settings. With advancements in graphics drivers and Proton, it really isn’t needed anymore.
I disabled it about 12 months ago and haven’t noticed any difference in performance whatsoever.
