Not judging, just curious.
What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.
I recently found a neat list of games that don't work due to Anti-Cheat:

So it's probably one of the ~700 games.
Awesome find.
Looking at the first 4 pages, you'd have to pay me to play the "denied" games.
I'm not missing a damn thing. :D
You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.
Literally everything a "normal" gamer plays is not supported on linux.
Normal gamers don't just play FPS lol
That’s obviously not true
Obviously how? Who is a "normal" gamer?
Well it seems like you think only someone with your interests is. However, by any objective measure more people play FPS competitive games than any variety except sports games.
Objectively Roblox is on par, and has previously beaten steam: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/roblox-had-more-concurrent-players-than-the-entirety-of-steam-over-the-weekend-as-it-reeled-in-over-45-million-users/
There is no PC game that has as many concurrent online players as the top game on roblox at any point.
You're objectively wrong.
Yeahh they do. 90% of kids with a ps5 wanna play bf6 and pubg etc type games. And if a normie even thinks of gamer they think of fortnite bf and cod.
We're talking about Windows vs Linux, not consoles. A normie will think of roblox, which blows all consoles as well as steam/EPIC/etc out of the water.
True
Not the original commenter, but for me it's Arc Raiders. I'm a fan of extraction shooters and have been messing with the idea of fully switching to Linux and ditching microslop completely, aaaaaaand then Arc Raiders was released
i'm a linux gamer and can personally confirm arc raiders works on my machine 👍
Arc Raiders has Platinum status on Linux, meaning it works extremely well under Linux. What problem are you having with it?
