They are seriously making the case for Linux with everything they do
Now that GeForce Now can play most anti-cheat on cloud gaming I see no reason ever to have a Windows machine. Mint btw.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't the anti-cheat stuff generally for competitive games? If that's the case, GeForce Now would make it too laggy to play comfortably, no?
I mean I have 5 crown wins in 2 weeks. I don't think it's too laggy. I have to drop my settings and play at 360 rather than unlimited. But it doesn't bother me much.
Cool, thanks!
Not viable for competitive games or (for me personally) any games at all. Too much input lag and often too blurry graphics.
I have not experienced this on a level that kills the vibe for me. But I'm an enthusiast and not a professional.
GFN works on Linux?
Yup. The cloud gaming version.
Windows 10 had already done a great job of that, but Windows 11 has really amped it up. I only have a single Windows machine in the house at this point for specific corporate stuff I need for work.
