    As another commenter here implied, there's nothing that doesn't run on someone's Linux environment. Probably even on their slow cooker.

    Why would I want to play any of those games that actively harm the gaming industry as a whole through their predatory and addictive designs and that foster the most toxic of communities?

    Also, Genshin works via Proton or Lutris. So, image is wrong too lol.

    Destiny 2 wasn't as bad as the others imo, still very predatory with microtransactions though. But, Marathon is the "better" version according to their owners, right?

    I do want to play wardogs 😭

    Genshin does run on Linux though?

    [–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 36 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

    Now I have to move to FreeBSD...

    [–] DastardlyJames@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago

    I’m moving to Temple OS, it doesn’t have Internet, so there wouldn’t be a way to download Genshin Impact.

    [–] Natanox@discuss.tchncs.de 19 points 22 hours ago

    Go to Haiku. Maximum incompatibility but still with a slither of daily usefulness.

    It is official; Netcraft now confirms: Linux is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Linux community when IDC confirmed that Linux market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming close on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that Linux has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Linux is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Linux' future. The hand writing is on the wall: Linux faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Linux because Linux is dying. Things are looking very bad for Linux. As many of us are already aware, Linux continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Instructions unclear, now I'm trapped in a gimp suit

    Time to switch to TempleOS I suppose.

    Calm down, its just a VM nothing really mad about that tbh.

    [–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

    Every machine is virtual, Sherlock. With your detective skills you must really glow in the dark.

    [–] palordrolap@fedia.io 2 points 11 hours ago

    Semantics, semantics.

    If you manage to run TempleOS on the bare metal, your CPU and fans will be stuck at 100% until you turn it off or your CPU overheats.

    Run it in a VM and you won't have that problem.

    You can argue that anything above Ring -3 is virtual, but "if I do this my CPU's going to die" is a pretty reasonable dividing line between "technically" and "actually".

    [–] Magnum@infosec.pub 2 points 12 hours ago

    Well, I'm Magnum P.I. what did you expect.

    I think you mean holy man

    I regret to inform you that TempleOS runs your destiny just fine.

    [–] wyrmsbane@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)
    [–] luciferofastora@feddit.org 13 points 23 hours ago

    Read again. Not "runs destiny" (as in the game) but "runs your destiny" (emphasis mine). It's a joke about faith controlling your fate.

    ok but what if my ps5 runs Linux

    [–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 5 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

    Ps5 is based on FreeBSD, unless you've literally jailbroken it and replaced the OS with linux

    [–] CriticalMiss@lemmy.world 26 points 22 hours ago

    yes, the latter

    [–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

    The latter has recently been made possible if you have a super old, unupdated PS5 that still has the launch firmware.

    [–] godsammitdam@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 hours ago

    And the lead dev of PS5 linux just walked out cause of slop kiddies

    Unfortunately, Epic store will soon be available on Linux soon too. Geforce Now already is :(

    [–] anewfox@lemmy.zip 6 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago) (2 children)

    oh no, making linux usable for more people who stick with windows because their games don't run. that is so bad and definitely not what we want at all, apparently. linux bad now, because epic and nvidia exist.

    are we fucking for real right now?

    [–] markz@suppo.fi 7 points 14 hours ago

    I'm pretty sure that the comment, as well as OP's meme are jokes.

    [–] auzy1@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago

    Totally real.. obviously

    And I totally don't use steamos as my main gaming console. Definitely didn't sell my quest 2's and preorder the steam frame too

    [–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 5 points 20 hours ago

    Geforce Now? More like Geforce Later because i don't use Nvidia.

    [–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 8 points 23 hours ago (1 children)
    [–] auzy1@lemmy.world 6 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

    Yeah you do.

    Haven't you heard. Epic games and nvidia really care about all of us so much

    But not on FreeBSD!

    Now I want to see a Bringus Studios video titled "Gaming on FreeBSD, because Linux now runs Fortnite".

    Huh I was pretty sure I played apex legends on Linux briefly, years ago.

    Does it count if I run destiny 2 through a VM with passthrough and a bootleg copy of Windows?

    [–] lordziv@lemmy.nz 4 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

    How's that working out for you?

    I have run genshin on both the steam deck and a relatively old laptop running mint.

    Neither was without hassles, but it played fine
