From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I like how they show ffxiv, do addons work too though? I can't play without dalamud (I can but, fuuuck) so that's 1 down already.
The Dalamud FAQ had Linux install steps so imma guess it does work
Which means it's prolly time for me to swap back to Linux
It does indeed work. I've been playing ffxiv on linux with plugins since the release of endwalker. If you're on arch, you can use the xivlauncher package from the aur. Or if you're not on arch, there's a flatpak for it (which is what is recommended for the steam deck for example)
Yeah, I plan on guying a new SSD card and plug it in with a USB 3.0 adapter to hack a new SSD slot for my mobo and test linux without losing anything. There's more games I'm doubtful but I'll admit that I haven't looked it up yet.
Yes, plugins work really well on linux. Use xivlauncher, available through git or aur. Every addon that i have tried has worked flawlessly. Use IINACT for parsing, it's a plugin version of ACT that is much more stable than standalone ACT in my experience, albeit with fewer config options
