Linux Gaming @lemmy.world deathmetal27 @lemmy.world 7mo ago

Feels bad to have nothing to show for it.

In 2023, I had 97% Linux with the only Windows games being Skyrim and Fallout 4 because of modding.

Now that I got modding to work on Linux I resolved to have 100% playtime on Linux for 2024. But Steam Replay says nothing because its still only one device :(.

Gaben, throw us a bone here pls.

I don't even have Steam on my Windows install as all my games work fine on Linux. Honestly I should probably just uninstall Windows at this point, I don't think I've used it in months.
- I still have Windows but haven't logged in in over a year. I use Bottles for all non-Steam apps.
  
  Does Bottles work well with, say, Photoshop or Autodesk Fusion?
- I fon't think I've used it in months.
  
  Good luck with all those updates flooding in.
  
  Could be worse. It could be the other way round with an Arch install.
  
  Darn it, phone keyboard strikes again. :)
- And even if you'd use it, everything I know off - except games - run fine in a VM.
Don't seek validation from corporations.

I hate this cat meme. I think that cat has untreated eye infections.
- Its just a photoshop of the serious cat meme, no cats were harmed in the making of this meme... probably
  
  Thank you. I feel so much better now.
  
  This cat needs some teeth
  
  This just looks cursed to me now
  
  Well it's photoshopped with an image of a different cat with a probable eye infection. Not a lot better.
- My cat looked like this when I'd cut onions. He was strongly affected by it and it would look like he was crying.
I switched to Linux after the Recall junk, and one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!!)

It’s weird that the graph does not show my steam deck at all. I got it around launch, then got my wife one too. Now she runs Linux on her computer too.
- Google photos on Android keeps syncing my images even when it was disabled. You can't trust these guys.
- one drive kept trying to sync my files when the PC was idle. (One drive was disabled!!!!)
  
  Welcome to Windows. Basically the entire operating system is malware at this point.
Here is mine.
- Based
First year without Windows on the chart 😅
- it's impressive you managed to make the second one look like the steam deck logo
- Mine says 99% Steam Deck and 1% Linux, which is weird considering they're the same thing.
  
  But probably 50% was on my desktop, which also shows up as Steam Deck under Bazzite.
All 12 of us.
Next year, play on a generic desktop Linux distribution as well as Steam Deck. They'll show up as distinct platforms:
- Steam Deck is not available in my country :/
  
  There is expected to be an announcement at CES that Valve is partnering to bring other vendors into making SteamOS handhelds, so you likely will get your chance at something soon.
  
  I hate to say but you're missing out. I wasn't sure if it was for me in the beginning but according to steam I've done a third of my gaming this year on it
Being able to mod Skyrim on Linux was the final nail in Window's coffin for me too! Haven't found a game that doesn't work...even anti-cheat games like Elden Ring work flawlessly with Proton.
- Hey. I just got my first 10h in Skyrim :) Took a bit of tinkering until I found a process that works nicely (Vortex via SteamTinker). How do you manage your mods?
i doubt it says anything if you played 100% on windows
Its funny that only people who didnt play 100% of games on linux(excluding steamdeck) can make posts about how much they played on linux
Ooh, the secretest of achievements! So secret, even QA missed it!

I'll have to try for that in 2025. Gonna be wiping Windows over Christmas.
100% on Steam Deck. No pie charts for me 😒
- Just a circle is technically a pie chart.
  
  There’s no circle. The graph simply doesn’t display if there’s only one category. That’s how it was for me too when I was 100% Steam Deck.
  
  Nope, it’s a pie.
Anyone know if Bazzite counts as Steam Deck or Linux as it uses Big Picture Mode by default?

Also if you run Windows or Bazzite on a Steam Deck does that count as Steam Deck or just Windows and Linux?
- Bazzite counts as a Steam Deck when you're playing in Steam mode, Linux when in desktop mode.
  
  Is that the same on SteamOS?
Spending hours into a game is not the flex you think it is
Well damn. Between Android gaming and Steam Deck, I guess I did, too.
Does the Steam Deck count as Linux Gaming? I assume it does, but honestly in the year 2024 and on niche forums I never know.

If it does count, then I bet my gaming percent is nearly as high. I prefer the larger screen on my laptop and some games that I play don't run (or don't run as well) on the Deck, but otherwise everything else about the Steam Deck makes it the superior experience.
