Linux gaming is BETTER than windows?

Linux gaming has slowly been on the rise since our last video – Just how far has it come a year later, and can it run better than Windows?

Petition for a "Linux tech tips" channel with Anthony as host

[roccociccone]

so we're getting a linux gaming update once a year. I love that you guys are covering linux more and more.

[omteria]

Linus: "Not everything runs on Linux"

Mutahar: *laughs in virtual machine*

[nicolaslavinicki]

I would love to see Anthony have his own channel/series, talking about linux, open source, and anything else that suits him. Please!

[maxman]

I gotta say, I really like this "swap between information givers" thing here, very nicely flows between you two

[OfficialRakma]

I love how the Linux community has grown in the past couple of years. Back when I started using Linux around 10 years ago somethings was brutal or not possible

[GCATLiving]

Fell in love with Mint years ago. Have really been impressed with how compatibility for gaming has improved over the years. I'm anticipating the day I can leave Windows behind for good.

[drwsy]

A "Linux for noobs" series by Anthony would be fantastic

[Some.real.human.]

Linus should run desktop linux on a daily driver laptop for a week or sm

Just wanted to drop a comment saying this:

Earlier in 2021, I had gotten fired and felt generally lost in life. About a month after that, I found this video and decided to give pop os a try, thinking "ah fuck it, why not?"
Now at the end of 2021, I'm completely in the Linux rabbit hole, discovered how much I love tinkering with it and computers in general, and now I'm going back to school in 2022 for an IT course.
Thank you LTT for reminding me how passionate I am about technology <3

As someone who contributed to the OpenRGB project: thank you for talking about it here

[darrianweathington]

Linus: i'll show you another throbber

Anthony: loud sweating

[openhmd]

Thanks for the OpenHMD mention!

There is actually quite some progress on Open Source (Linux) VR with different projects, involved companies and development going on by a dedicated community!
Would love to chat about this and provide information, showing off some things that Open Source VR can do, that commercial VR can not!

Of course there is always a lot of work, specially when reverse engineering devices (where companies have no interest in sharing drivers), but with devices gaining (close to) full parity to the proprietary stack, a lot of interesting things are happening!
SteamVR-OpenHMD made it possible for a while now to also play VR games that don't have support for a particular device, including running over Proton!
I game regularly with my PSVR (Project Cars 2, Proton, Ubuntu 20.04 SteamVR-OpenHMD) with decent performance, though of course beware the dragons.

[samueltulach]

As a daily Linux user I just want to thank you for doing this "Linux related stuff". It brings more people to Linux and therefore there is a better support.

0:33 I can't believe neither one tipped the monitor on its side to make the progress bar go faster, rookie mistake.

[greyEAX]

A note about that bug report tweet - I think a big part of why there are so many more reports is because Linux users are very familiar with the bug reporting process. Your average Windows user likely just uses support forums or the like, whereas because most open source projects have an open bug report thing, it's very common to submit a bug report.

"sudo make me a sandwitch"

Me: "Taran is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported"

2:23 I love how linus says nice when he reads out 69%
