Just loaded up Halo Infinite on PopOS and it ran flawlessly. I'm blown away, and am now looking at moving up my plans to switch away from Windows for my desktop. The future of Linux gaming is bright!

Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

I wasn't even using Wine. I installed it and launched through Steam and the entire process was as seamless as if it were on Windows. Valve is doing great work.

Well, Steam uses its Wine fork, Proton, under the hood (for non-native games). Nice to hear it’s seamless (I’m too far into having customised everything to know what the out-of-the-box experience is like)!

Steam has added a lot for the Linux community.

I know it's proprietary but I love them for it.

Steam used proton which is a modified version of Wine

That's kind of amazing. There's no issues with multiplayer and anticheat? Does MCC work as well?

[–] JoeKrogan 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yea both infinite and MCC work fine on linux now

[–] beigegull 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As of when? I was trying to play co-op with MCC like a month ago and anti-cheat reliably broke it.

[–] JoeKrogan 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

About a week ago was the last time I was on. I think on mcc you had to select play with anti cheat disabled as they mixed up the logic corresponding to the choice selected, so selecting disabled would actually enable it

Edit just tried it now and it's still working fine

I didn't try MCC or multiplayer, since I was just performance testing on the computer (will eventually be the wife's machine after we move next month), but even running Academy with the bots was running great. I was able to sign into my Microsoft account no problem though, so I want to try multiplayer next.

If you're looking for another shooter, Hunt Showdown also runs great on Linux (though you do need to disable the steam overlay for now... the steam UI update caused some problems)! You can also join us over in the Hunt Showdown Lemmy community 😉.
