Man, going to give you a pro-tip: Go and read the blogpost that Microsoft wrote, instead of relying on articles that didn't go in full detail and made unbased assumptions on it.
Yo, thanks for the tip! I did check out the blog post, but I also pulled from a bunch of sources to give a bigger picture of what’s going on. I wasn’t trying to say everything’s set in stone, just throwing out some ideas on what these changes could mean for Linux users. But I hear you, next time I’ll dig deeper into the official stuff. Appreciate you watching and dropping some feedback!
i have been gaming on linux using steam and lutris and i have been very happy with it. i play blizzard games ,tomb raider on steam and many others .. ps teaching myself linux has been a great ride. the linux community is Amazing and very very helpful. ( love the content keep up the great work)
Man if they decide to do this it would be a game changer!! I l9ve Linux and have always wanted to switch fully over to Linux but with Warzone not being available on Linux yet i have not fully switched over i hope it happens great job brother and you did not give false hope just stating possibilities
This is good news, overall, I think. The only games that I can't play on Linux as of now are ones that have the major anti-cheat stuff. I play Elder Scrolls Online through Steam and it works flawlessly. Most games I have tried work well and I don't have any issues, even GTA Online. Games like Destiny (even on Steam) refuse to launch, I'm guessing due to the anti-cheat stuff. Assassin's Creed Syndicate (all other AC games work without issue) seems to only work with an NVIDIA card, and crashes upon the NVIDIA screen with an AMD GPU. Otherwise, I've had no issues running games on Linux. Admittedly, I don't use a lot of MMO games, mainly single player aside from ESO. I'm glad to hear there is a potential bit of progress that may come our way soon that could help improve the landscape for gaming in Linux, though. Pretty good video.
My only concern is that someone will compile a custom Linux kernel with some nasty shit it in, and the new anti-cheat with no kernel access not being able to see it, and then the developer pulling the plug on Linux anyway, even though it no longer needs kernel access on Windows. I don't know what's possible to compile into the Linux kernel, but I know it's doable. And technically you could also take an old NT kernel source code and compile stuff into that, but then we're in the extremes.
I don't have much hope for Linux when it comes to these sorts of anticheat solutions. Depending on how this Windows App turns out that I recently heard of it may provide a work around. I don't know how it works but it's intended to be a mobile app and usable via browser as well. It may just be a sort of streaming app service where you install something on their servers where it runs and streams to your device/browser. If that's not what it is I'd be interested to know.
Hey so apparently the notebookcheck article was badly written and the autor wasnt really paying attention to the blogpost. Microsoft wouldnt block access to the kernel but they will add more apis so kernel mode isnt used as often
My fingers are crossed , I don't think we will be able to play COD or Fortnite anytime soon, Word is that that Microsoft will still allow "hooks" into the kernel. Maybe not full access but still more than they should have IMHO. Really glad to see that your not fully buying into the idea that everything is going to be great gaming on Linux. But hey, we can still hope right??
yup, if Microsoft starts booting out game clients kernel level anti cheat Lutris and others be back in business other than Steam in Linux hahaha but indeed lets sit back and see if they do.
Change is always a difficult thing. But honestly Linux and gaming do not work because developers refuse to bring mass apps to Linux. I wish they would develop for Linux. Linux based gaming is a long road away. Sadly.
I need to get up on my linux I don't know which one to get and I don't want to dual boot need a cheaper older computer just to use it on. I dont like the os
If you're coming from Windows, I highly recommend the Cinnamon version of Linux Mint 22, it's the most familiar experience for Windows users and will help you learn Linux's differences in a familiar environment.

Hey man, have been sick the past 2 days and was fortunate to have found your Channel. I binged on your content for a few hours.
KEEP them coming! :)

I though this was gonna be about nvidia finally merging the patches for wayland to use their hw

4:11 that keyboard looks slim, what keyboard is that?
I went Linux only 12 years ago. I played games on PlayStation. No M$ in my house! I'm glad that Steam is getting better, but I don't depend on it.
Fingers crossed!

the question what can MS do when cheaters have access to the kernel and the anti cheat cant ,
yup, if Microsoft starts booting out game clients kernel level anti cheat Lutris and others be back in business other than Steam in Linux hahaha but indeed lets sit back and see if they do.
Thank you!
My man, this has been debunked, microsoft has no such plans.
this has been debunked, microsoft is NOT restricting kernel level anticheat
or kernel level access in general

Yes and definitely the integration, I’m trying to get like a beginner Linux distribution going on and it’s crazy
@@kylanqty have you tried openSUSE out ?
Wrong
