More and more games are compatible every week, so um… no?
Y’all realize that you are doing exactly what these creators want, right?
They create stupid/outlandish shit, because they know people, like everyone posting here, will spread the video to the 4 corners in indignant outrage, and give the creator more spread and exposure than they would have ever gotten on youtube alone due to algorithm.
And if you don’t do that, you’ll make tons of comments on the video/youtube channel, massively spiking their engagement and skewing the algorithm in their favor
This is such a shit take its almost still steaming hot.
Like what the fuck, just because asshead AAA and AAAA publishers brick their games on purpose (they work worse on winass as well) thats not a Linux thing. We need to shame the assheads responsible not shittalk Linux.

This battle starts with your wallets folks. Deny the petite profits.
No tux, no bux 🫡
This guy repeatedly has shit takes. Furthermore, literally all his vod titles are clickbait. I just tune him out now.
“Oh, look! One(1) game has been busted by the devs themselves and because of that, Linux gaming is dead as ever!”
lmao what
- Video-only link.
- No transcript, synopsis, or even point of view in the post.
- Provocative click-bait title.
No thanks. I come to discussion forums for discussion and legitimate news, not to spend my time slogging through some influencer’s video to bolster their view count.
When they don’t respect my time enough to at least outline their key points in text, and there’s no obvious reason why the content must be video, I find that it’s vanishingly unlikely that they have anything interesting to say.
Yeah I thought the whole point of it being off youtube and on a non-income based platform meant they didn’t have to use such scummy tactics like clickbait
There’s a transcript in the description and this is on tilvids, a FOSS fediverse platform which does not financially benefit the uploader
This video is a mirror of the YT channel. It is clickbait. On YT not only it works, it is mandatory. The Linux Experiment is that kind of channel, where the host has some interesting things to say once in a while, but is a poor communicator. He still thinks he has to abuse superlatives and be radically sensationalist just to get eyes on the video and earn an audience. I have watched a couple of videos of him but it was tiring hearing him speak idiocy upfront then try to add nuance to said idiocy. It is annoying and the worst kind of content.
An off-site transcript is no substitute for posting something of value in this forum. Lack of direct financial benefit from clicks makes no difference to any of the points I raised. (But as an aside, since you brought it up, “SUPPORT THE CHANNEL”!)
It’s really just games with kernel level anticheat that are a problem.
I’ve been daily driving Linux for a few years. I’ve had exactly one (1) game that wouldn’t run because of anti-cheat, and dozens that run great. And the Steam deck gaining popularity is only making things better and easier.
Been gaming on Linux for over a decade, definitely some stuff is a bit h but it’s surprising how much works flawlessly. Bought a steam deck a month ago and I’m very impressed with the polish and compatibility. I’ll be happy to see it keep selling. It’s a nice piece of hardware.
Not being able to play the world’s most popular games, means most gamers aren’t ready for Linux yet.
- FC25
- GTA V
- LOL
- Fortnite
And more.
I hate those games, but my kids want to play FC25, and for that… I still have a dreaded Windows PC.
I play GTA V on my steam deck
Online?
No, I haven’t tried, but looked it up and see it doesn’t work.
Why don’t force your kids to play actual games like open TTD?
Further context for anyone interested.
FC25 is the world’s most popular Football (soccer) game, made by the world’s shittiest gaming company, EA.
Open TTD is an open source transport tycoon sim.
What is FC25?
I too would like to know this.
It’s not even an acronym, it’s a sportsball game by EA.
Soooooooo what’s the “FC” mean? Do you know?
Football Club. EA can’t use FIFA anymore.
Thanks. That’s interesting. How come they can’t use FIFA anymore?
The theory was FIFA wanted some batshit amount of money for the franchise which EA decided not to cough up.
This hasn’t been confirmed as far as I know, but either way it’s greedcorp vs greedcorp.
