Oddbean new post about login | logout It shouldn't theoretically be possible since Linux has an overhead of translation But my games are working better here 😅 nostr:nevent1qqszet6kcxj9w6yaq54u4qwf6xm27a8uh0p3knpwfceugel35dc684qppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0qgsvyxc6dndjglxtmyudevttzkj05wpdqrla0vfdtja669e2pn2dzuqrqsqqqqqpkw6fnd
Linux doesn't actually have any more translation than any other OS
I meant translating windows calls since the games are written for windows
Windows translates them just as much
Yes but windows doesn't have WINE running on top of their games.
It has a comparable layer
I think the difference is that softwares are developed and tested against the windows translation layer. Then open source community try to recreate this layer on linux in a open source way. In the long run it probably will become better and more powerful than the windows one, but it needs time and more problem are expected in the first iterations.
The first iterations were in 1993... 3 decades ago
great part of this kind of softwares are rewrited every year. Its a matter of fact that unless 4-5 years ago mainstream games on linux mostly didnt work.
I have been wanting to ditch windows for Linux, but still do gaming. Do you have a way to run any game or can you only run games built for Linux? I mainly use Steam.
with steam 80% of all winodows game work. I am even playing epic games with the heroic app. Translated through WINE and all features are running, even played some multiplayer rocket league and kicked butt.
