If I may interject, games (or should I say gaymes) are a complete waste of time. I am better served browsing the Internet, on Wikipedia and 4chan, gaining esoteric knowledge, training my developer skills (do you even know how to fizz buzz? I can in 18 languages, most of which you probably haven't even heard of. I spend my time on my computer to make my computer my own, customizing each little piece of my OS (even advanced major things like the window managers, which I do not believe one can due with Microsoft Windows. Speaking of Microsoft, those are two adjectives that describe the average Windows users prnis. ). In conclusion, I do not need games to take advantage of my computer, or to enjoy myself (did you know modern desktop computers have the computing power of 4 APOLLO 11 spacecraft? And you use this to play your pathetic murder simulators? ) I simply prefer to grow intellectually rather than stagnate at the level of a child. Let me guess, you play League of Legends? Oh no? It's DOTA 2? Point proven. In conclusion, I have to say only an intellectually inferior person could not think of a use for a machine as powerful as 4 Apollo spacecraft (which took us to the moon btw) besides playing childish video games.

Now I have dedicated headless windows machine for games. I control it though TeamViewer to install games and stuff, and then just stream them with steam streaming. 3rd party games works fine as well.

Also, do you host a LAN party? It seems like a waste of space, although waiting 2 hours to boot into Windows seems almost worth it.
You can play many modern video games on linux.
But the fact is that Windows is superior in that regard.
If you care about playing games more than you care about all the benefits of using linux you probably shouldn't use linux.
You use software according to your needs, technoogy isn't a religion.

Notice how the better a game is, the more likely it is to run better on Linux than on Windows.
I hypothesize this is because the better a game's developers are at programming, the more likely it will be as well-optimized for Linux as it's well-optimized for Windows. And since Linux inherently runs better than Windows, the natural conclusion is that the Linux experience is superior.

The funniest official work-around I've heard is a Microsoft person literally telling me to tape off pin 9 (or something?) of the HDMI connector, because Windows 7 and above internally can't toggle the “destroy screen when it's turned off” logic, and blocking the pin is the only way to trick Windows into thinking it's still connected.
Meanwhile on Linux I can turn my display on and off all day without any problems.

I have a 4K monitor and I can afford a second GPU.
But why would I throw away $1000+ on a second GPU, a mainboard that can hold two, a new CPU to fit into the mainboard, new memory, and possibly a new PSU when I already have one that works perfectly fine and only requires me to spend a few seconds dual-booting if I want to play the odd game that doesn't work on Linux yet?
>if you really need to watch 4K movies at the same time as playing games.
I don't, but to use GPU passthrough I would literally have to basically reboot anyway to remove the GPU from my host machine, and then I might as well just boot into the target OS directly and get much better performance in general.
>>54018119
Then, why not just watch this movie on virtual machine?
>>54018179

Oh right, that's exactly like dual booting except slower.
>>54018304

No, games are a pasttime like reading a book or watching TV. If you spend so much time gaming you call it a hobby, you better be a professional eSport contender. Otherwise it's just sad.
>inb4 you can do X on Windows too
By that logic, I should install Windows XP because I can do most of the stuff I do on my computer on that too.
There is no point in using Windows in order to use Windows. I've used Linux for my entire adult life, Mac OS X for the last year and a half. I haven't had a Windows installation since 2004 and back then I had barely any idea of how to use my computer at all. Why on earth would I deliberately make it hard for myself to accomplish my everyday tasks by installing an OS I'm not familiar with at all?

I'm not really a sports guy, I did however just go out with a cousin of mine, did a few vodka shots and just came back to the real world like half an hour ago.

Counterstrike source runs wayyy smoother on my laptop when booted in Lubuntu compared to windows.

Is it opensource and can you make plugins for it?
We run on slightly modified client and server Mumble code and we use plenty of self-made plugins for various notifications, receiving random image from boorus by tags and other features.
there's plenty of great games that can run on what you'd call a toaster

$.01 has been delivered to your Windows shilling account.

But, if I work as Windows shiller, then why do I get money for saying windows is shit?
Also where did I said the reason why jinc upscaling to 4K 60 Hz on movies is placebo, is because windows is shit? Where did I even said that windows is shit?

My Intel HD520 drives 3200x1600 display at 60hz just fine. I can even play Warthunder at that resolution so I'm pretty sure 4k movies will be fine.

Well for one 3200x1600 is not 4096x2160
As for ‘4k movies being fine’, I'm literally loading my GTX 970 to the absolute limit running radius-3 EWA convolutions + debanding on e.g. 1440p source files (upscaled to 2160p)
Unless you're trying to suggest your HD520 is more powerful than a GTX 970 I have reason to believe you're full of shit

Cities Skylines, Wasteland 2, Dota 2, CS GO, Bioshock 3 are some other great native titles.
As far as wine games I've played recently: dishonored, modded gta 4, skyrim, new vegas, sc2, diablo 3, guild wars 2, wow.
I understand Windows is the best if you want to play everything but don't understand why people think you can't game at all on linux. There is already more content than I'll ever play.

Dual booting has been the best thing ever. All the games I want and I can still keep my preferred OS!
