    It isn’t bait, more of a reminder that no matter how many indie games run on Linux, Fortnite, the most popular shooter on earth, doesn’t, and it will forever be a band-aid of cope to say “stop playing shit” every time someone brings it up.

    People are basic and dumb, they love shit.

    No shit? Guess I’ll stay with Windows.

    Who knew people so used to shit would want to continue enjoying it?

      I think it’s important to realise that Fortnite doesn’t run because it’s being actively prevented to tun on Linux by Epic, not because it couldn’t run. It’s not really fault of the Linux.

      Most AAA games run on Linux, it’s mostly the anti-cheat ones that refuse to enable Linux support that don’t. Sadly, there’s nothing Linux devs can realistically do to fix that, it’s something the devs need to do.

      I try to mention this caveat in most “Linux > Windows” threads. It’s important to know what works and what doesn’t, and why.

      I don’t think Fortnite is shit. I’ve never played it, but I have to assume it’s popular for a reason. Frankly, I think it would be great if it did run natively on Linux. The more options people have to play the games they want, the better. As Linux gaming continues to become more mainstream, developers will continue to take note to ensure compatibility.

        Yeah, it isn’t shit. It’s not the type of game I like, but calling it shit is delusional. Getting it working on Linux would be great.
