Opinions on Linux?

[jdgregory84]

Just bought a new laptop with linux OS. So far it seems okay. Is there anything I should know or worry about it? First time user.

As long as you aren't a gamer, linux will be fine.

You can play games on linux just fine. Thanks Steam.

How's Dragon Age Inquisition work on it? Play pretty smooth? How about Battlefield 4?

I have a shitty games filter on my steam account, those dont seem to be there for me.

Might be because they aren't on steam.

Development support isn't there for Linux on newer games usualy. Unless you're a fan of pixel art indie shit, you're going to have a bad time.

Edit: That shitty Homeworld collection comes out tomorrow. Good thing the Linux community made sure to keep that shitty game off their platform.

I'm not going to defend Linux gaming, if you try to play games on Linux it would be like buying a Mustang trying to beat a Camaro.
