do it! I tried gaming on Linux about six (?) years ago. it sucked. I tried it out again this week because I didn't know about Proton until recently. it's *fucking awesome*
@@Cheez_and_crackers if your life experience becomes less valuable because you can't play League or Valorant, etc etc, I guess it's time to start making personal judgement calls lol
All EA Games, roblox, Rainbow6seige fortnite And all kernal level anti cheat do not work, if you want a better list check protonDB. But overall gaming on Linux for me is the best I can multi task better and use my time more efficiently , I use arch BTW plus a tiling window manager i3wm I say that just to guide people to the golden Linux path, i3 and arch are not my main anymore but is the right path for all beginners, But not for me, nixos I'm coming baby
Aw man, I'm fairly new (4 months or so using ubuntu server, and about 2 with fedora on my main computer), and even tho I know this stuff, I wish I had a guy guiding me like this my first days, good luck to you with this channel
It never was stealing. The only difference is: If they don't sell it to you anyways it can't even be a lost sale. I am still fine with buying thing that's why I use GoG. But not fine with "paying for limited use until they terminate that ability".
I'm not new to Linux but stuck around just because you went command line and did a good job of explaining what you were doing. It's great that you dont *need* to use the command line for most things with a good destop distro but it's always good to be comfortable with the cli for when you do need to use it. Keep up the good work!
@@cookieface80 If you download a copy of an illegal ROM, the worst you can suffer is a civil case from the publisher themselves where they say that you stole money from them by not purchasing the game. The worst you'd have to do is pay the price of the game(s). However, distributing copyrighted works is a felony, which can land you with some extremely high fines and jail time, as well as a criminal record. The reason people get scared about torrenting is that by default, when you torrent something you are distributing it as well as downloading.
@@AbsurdScandal Yes. The way torrenting works is by having everybody who is accessing a torrent also be an uploader for it. That's why torrenting gives such fast download speeds, because you're downloading from many people at once. It also has a lot of other benefits to regular downloads. "Seeding" a torrent after downloading it is the act of leaving your client running with the full file so that other people can download it from your system. It's considered the nice thing to do, in return for having used the other people to download the file in the first place. By being an uploader, you are officially distributing any file in your client. For many people, this is fine as they're using it to download otherwise normal stuff. For pirates, it means that using torrents can lead to worse consequences if you're caught by the law.
Hey your channel looks nice! Straight to the point, I did understand everything but I do see the posibility of some people getting confused if you are not specific enough with some things. Anyway, great video and I'm subbing cuz I really like to learn linux with an actual person showing the desktop and the commands in real time.
Brodie have not seen a more digestible term review than your sudo description, lots of new users and/or fence sitters would take plunge if they were more confident on term you should seriously seriously make term guide communicating exactly like your language used here big dog would be tremendous work, maybe explaining gamepad integration would be good additional video too? Lot of friends over time after my evangelizing and forced instal of Lin on their pc and they don’t know how or if their gamepad will work very intimidating to most even tho mostly plug and play if wired, great videos keep up the good work and spreading the good word Brodie namaste
You deserve more subs. Also. If you use protonGE 8-11 you can play fighterZ online just fine but just with Linux users. If you play with Windows users you gonna get kick

People when they can play every game they want except those 2 online games they barely play : UNUSABLE Also yeah, use the terminal, it's great, it's not just "nerd stuff", it's a way to do things more efficiently, you can install as many things as you want at the same time with it, without having to open anything else, no installer to look up for on internet, no bloatware installed if you forget to uncheck a box! You don't HAVE to use it, but you'll gain a lot by learning to :) I'm glad about all the huge new wave of Linux tutorials since that copilot recall announcement, it's gonna make things easier for people moving from Windows to Linux, thank you
Could you possibly do a tutorial on how to customize your linux device? (Such as wallpaper, ui, ect.) I think it will be helpful for the first time linux users.
One thing I'll add to this - drivers. If you use cutting edge hardware, you might not be able to use Linux Mind or Ubuntu . So I switched to Linux 3 days ago and I run an AMD RX 7900 GRE, which only came to the west a few months ago and is unsupported by Linux Mint and Ubuntu (tried switching to those first). So if your hardware is brand spanking new, you might need a different distro (you can update the kernel, but that's advanced user stuff and not a n00b process). If your hardware is unsupported, your best bets for beginners are Garuda Linux (I went this route), or Fedora.
To supplement this, Linux is generally even worse than windows when it comes to set up with multiple graphic card. So yea, it can be a coin flip if you can make it work or not.
hey Learnix, could you cover something related to PC cooling in Linux? It's good to run games, but there are some interesting games that could run on Linux but it turns it to a heater. (Remnants from the Ashes is one of them)
I recently moved to mint as my daily driver. Im gaming on it daily. Even creates a channel dedicated to linux gaming. I have no issues except the few games that use easy anti cheat.
I don't personally need this at all, but it's always nice to see videos like this. Appreciate your work! :D Also glad you're explaining every little step. I've seen beginner videos just skip over what sudo does, etc.
8:11 this is actually an inefficient way of doing things, what you actually wanna do is go into Steam Settings - > Compatibility -> Click "Enable Steam Play for all other titles", and it just automatically does this for every game in your library.
The trade off is it forces it to override all Linux-native games to their windows version, and whilst you can restore it using the compatability override of "Steam runtime 1/2/3" it isn't as effective as just using your system. I'd advise against using "Force Steam Play for all titles" having used it for a year and having the fallout from it. That said, it's also the *only* way you can download demos for games that aren't Linux native on Steam.
@@ThePlayerOfGames "The trade off is it forces it to override all Linux-native games to their windows version" I tend not to have an issue with this, some linux games like to make a mess of my /home directory, and in some cases, the windows version run through proton is better. For example: There's a game called Tunnet that I really like, has control issues on the native linux version, but works fine in proton. I only care that my games run.
@@_Learnix No problem. I see that you wanted to make a guide for newbies, but such guides (ESPECIALLY such guides) IMO should keep information as precise as possible. "Sudo" in the simplest case indeed does stuff under superuser. But this knowledge shouldn't be the line, which keeps people from exploring further (in case of sudo - how to launch commands under users other than root).
the only popular games you can't play are Roblox, Valorant and League of Legends, all other games run better than windows, especially minecraft i'm getting 100+ fps on a old laptop.
You can always dual-boot with a small windows 10 partition to get access to it again, or they might support Linux through Wine, but that may be deprecated now.
Roblox did run in wine, but their new anticheat blocks it. You can still run it using Waydroid but then you can only play games available on mobile. Roblox is also a big barrier for me switching, it's very hard to quit games like Tales from the Valley and Deepwoken (to a level)
I don't really understand why you avoided the software manager and went straight to the terminal. Is there a good reason, or is it done just to make your video look **cool**?
