I have yet to find a windows game I couldnt play on linux... and more often than not they play better on linux than on windows... there are some exceptions of course but they are getting fewer every day.

@freemo @sergeant I'm glad more and more games work on Linux since I do think that's the future. But not all do yet. Plus software I have to use for job.

@trinsec

any software your job makes you use will almost certainly run on linux, thats easy... a VM being the easiest solution, but then WINE works if you want it to feel more native.

@freemo @sergeant Nope, I checked upon it but Affinity Suite and Linux aren't compatible yet.

No they are.. when you run on a VM it is indistinguishable to the software from running on the OS itself... the only thing a VM cant do is if it needs access to the GPU, so its not a solution for games of things with GPU acceleration, outside of that 100% of apps are garunteed to work because it looks identical to the app to windows.

What they mean when they say it isnt compatible is that it wont run on linux directly.

@freemo @trinsec True though. I used to have a complete Windows OS running on Virtual Box. But since there's no need to do so for me, I removed it all.
Linux is all I need.

@sergeant @freemo If you want I could run Linux in a VM to placate you. 😋

But hey, I have a steam deck running arch Linux (which I still have to learn about but I recently got the dock for it so that should be easier). Valve did a great job with Linux/Proton support. But it isn't 100% yet but I'm eagerly following this development.

At the moment windows is still more convenient for me. But I'm sure that won't be the case in 10 years at most.
