Quoting: bubexel

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Expecting the next valve game to be VR is so selfish but I expect that after seeing comments coming from VR owners on Alyx forums.

Interesting. Same argument as windows users use about linux support. Why game developers throw money out of window when they support us? It's so selfish want linux/VR to be supported.

Think you pulled wrong user name i didnt say any of the above i said VR was a gimmick never said anything about being selfish

Quoting: bubexel

Quoting: Whitewolfe80Single player games yes please i would prefer non vr games as i think its a gimmick but as long as linux is support natively sure why not some vr games for people that into that.

Amazing that there is people saying vr is a gimmick on 2021. It's been in market atleast 4 years atm and you didn't tried it yet? do a favour to yourself and buy on second hand market and play half life alyx.

And i really hope the next game from Valve will be VR, i tought i was not experience like i did when i was child with games like doom or quake never in my live, that it was part of be a kid. But Half life Alxy made me feel same feeling, wowing at any corner of the game.

Except i am old enough to remember og VR from the 90s in arcades and i dont want to wear a toaster on my head when am trying to relax and play games its not for me if its your jam its your jam but it will never be mine

Quoting: Whitewolfe80and its sold out

Like practically all the rtx 20's & 30's! I wanted to upgrade my Windows gaming rig, but I will wait for availability and affordable price ... The soldout ASUS dual RTX-3080-O8G quoted at C$830 on Newegg, is available on Ebay for C$1200-1500!

For the time being I am happy to play on Linux, even some new Windows games, such as HZD at 30fps (:cry:), and thru RDP on Linux!

Whats shittier is Asus have already confirmed a 66 percent price increase across its range (graphics cards are going up by 20 to 25 percent)

So AMD have dropped APUS ? since the 4 thousand series are meant to be oem exclusive but they can be found on ali express and no 5000g chips or an athlon to replace the 3000g series disspointing wanted to see where they were going with it.

Quoting: officerniceyou know you can install it on any distro right its just an environment/window manager you can install any of them

I know that, but I almost sure Cinnamon won't support wayland in a near future [External Link], and personally I don't want to go back to x11 despite having to use Gnome[/quote]Thing with wayland is its still not as good as Xorg for gaming if your not gaming then apprently its good.

Maybe... But with some hindsight, I like too much Linux to give up... I really feel torn atm. Thinking about it, I'd like to switch to an AMD GPU because I'm suspecting that part of my problem is with my GTX 1660 Super that got weird issues on Linux only (heating and noise), but it's just impossible, atm. Add to this all these Proton issues that I have... Oh well, I might temporarily "give my underwear color" to Microsoft while I have to use that GPU, but I'll probably be back when I have the chance of putting my hands on a RX6600xt... Somewhere in 2022, maybe?[/quote]I get that i use Linux mainly for the customiseable elements but i get where you are coming from but i ve been here long enough to remember old linux gaming when the best game was Wolf Enemy territory. Oh god yeah hardware at any level is crazy price wise now.

On the other hand, I start the same games on Stadia and it just works: No tweaks, no hassle, just click & play.

For a newcomer, I'm affraid that all these trial and error possibilities are just going to be too much hassle to make Linux attractive.

It's the first time since 2012 that I really think about reinstalling Windows to play games, even if I hate this OS with a passion. I'm just getting bored of dealing with all these "shortcomings" and uncertainties.

Oh well, sorry for this rant. I miss the old days when all we had was Wine... At least we knew exactly what to expect.[/quote

Well proton is wine just now it has enhanced features to make compatibility better. If you need to go back to windows you do you but it sounds like a console is what your after just boot up play no need to play with settings etc or just stick with stadia if you have the connection to make it work for you.
