I'm not the original commenter.
However any game with invasive anticheat tends to be allergic to Linux.
Microsoft game pass has really good value that isn't supported on Linux. (I'm told the streaming stuff did work but I haven't personally confirmed)
I have family that likes to play fortnite with me and that didn't work last time I looked into it.
Thanks for the help. I'm not fond of invasive a anticheat as it is, played like 10 minutes of Fortnite when it was a survival game, and I'm sure I can use the high seas to get around game pass. I'll have to check a couple of specific games, but I think I might be pretty good to go
This may be a silly question, but as far as online games that work, it shouldn't matter if my friends are on Windows, right?
It shouldn't matter, Linux and Windows and Mac are all compatible 'PC' platforms. As long as the game is supported/runs, you should be good.
That's what I was thinking but I just wanted to make sure. I really appreciate all the help
For the most part it's fine like the other comment mentioned.
However there are a few edge cases like Borderlands 2 that is like pulling teeth to make work.
