Meanwhile, me running Fedora 24/7 and still playing Fortnite just fine with my kids: ππ
How do you run it on Linux? Last I checked it had a kernel level anticheat and the CEO is a Linux hater.
It runs just fine with Chrome + an extension to spoof a Windows user agent + either Amazon Luna or GeForce Now. Probably any other "play remotely in browser" service as well, but those are the ones I've used.
For what it's worth I also played with this method when I was running Windows, because I don't want to install a rootkit just to play a kids game.
I have tried it with Chromium and Librewolf, it works okay but I would get random input lag sometimes. Fortnite is basically the only reason the Chrome flatpak exists on my system.
Ping for @87Six@lemmy.zip
Oh... Well that's not really on linux lol, you're just streaming I/O from a server... Thanks though I guess
I'm not sure if there's functionally any difference, but technically yes it's not running "on" Linux.
My experience is exactly the same as it would be on Windows so Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
You get massive latency, and you pay for a service not for something you own, so yea..
I'm not saying it's suitable for someone trying to be a professional fortnite player, but it's perfectly playable without noticeable latency.
Fortnite is free on GeForce now (I think for X hours per day/session), and fully unrestricted on Luna if you already have prime.
End of the day it lets me enjoy spending time playing a game with my kids that they love, and doesn't cost me anything or require me to dual boot. It's not for everyone but it's an option for some.
Could also be dual booting
Nope, I decided to go straight into the deep end a couple years ago. I tried out a few different distros, ran Bazzite for a good while but was having issues with openvpn and my workplace's old-ass endpoint, switched to Fedora + Plasma and haven't touched windows at home ever since. Still have to deal with it at the office but at least that's not my problem to manage.
Homelab runs debian pretty much exclusively, which is stable and reliable.
Ping me I'm curious
