If only. Usually my Manjaro partition is chill, but the moment I step foot in Windows 11, it throws a pissy fit and breaks something it shouldn’t even have access to.
If Linux just calls you a cheater, Microsoft sets you and everything you love on fire to make a point.
Garuda / win11 dualboot here.
When I go back to Garuda I find my display settings out of whack. Usually 800x640 resolution and desktop image back to default.
When I go back to win11 i find the timezone changed.
So dual boot is annoying for both in my experience
Amazing, thank you for the link.
Recently migrated to Endeavor and have Windows for Rainbow Six Siege (anticheat isn’t setup to work with Proton). Was curious why the clock was always wrong.
Ok, at least that explains that. Thanks ^^ didn’t have to switch that often so never bothered looking for a solution. So you spared me some searching, many thanks!
The clock thing is normal. Windows doesn’t like UTC clocks with local adjustment for timezone like every sane system does it.
About the resolution issue. Did you deactivate fast boot in Windows. That’s a bullshit feature decreasing boot time by not actually shutting off. It’s some kind of hybrid standby. And it can lead to all kinds of problems, like for example not properly shutting down and releasing control over hardware. Which then leads to stuff like graphics or network cards not working properly in linux.
Thought I had but I double checked and it turns out to be enabled. Turned it off, we’ll see if that helps, thanks.
Haha, I forgot it also broke the clock. But as others explained, it’s fixable.
Lol, I killed manjaro twice 😂 it’s just too easy for Noobs to enable AUR
In my case, I got a little too confident and messed around with drivers to get stable situation to work. Oops.
But in the times windows kills something… aside from messing with my boot loader (always install windows first, then Linux), it also managed to break my wifi drivers to the point that it would blue screen my windows AND prevent Manjaro from booting (and once fixed, not connect to Internet via Wi-Fi).
Using AUR with Manjaro is dangerous cause of their stupid and useless 2 weeks rule. I would use EndevourOS or just not using the AUR
Meanwhile, my Windows partition back in 2017:
Same, right after Windows 10 nuked my network drivers via any automated update that happened while I wasn’t home
I never sullied my computer with Windows 10. The last version of Windows I used was 7, and I ditched it for good when Microsoft started trying to backport 10’s malware (euphemized as “telemetry”) to it.
Everything I want to play runs on Linux and the couple that don’t are because of EAC, which I can’t be bothered with. I’ve completely cut Windows out of my life.
I’m in the honeymoon stage but I’ve left win 11 behind earlier this week. Jump full into it I am loving pop_os… the tiling feature is a refreshing thing I didn’t know I needed. I’m hooked to it already. Flatpak is something else new for me that I’m really enjoying the thought of. Really like all the seamlessness of the virtual desktops too. Pop calls them workspaces. I can send windows to another workspace. Keep selectef ones on all workspaces. I’m a devops that has been using wsl for anything I needed Linux locally for since it came out. Now that I know how to interact with Linux and my remaining Windows infrastructure at work (primarily Ad) I am full into it. The only game I’ve spun up on it so far was cyberpunk 2077 and it runs great on it. Got Plex going, virtual machines, docker/podman, the foss possibilities are awesome. Really enjoying freetube right now too.

Ubisoft sucks. I’m still mad that they to this day refuse to add Linux compatibility to The Crew 2 despite BattlEye supporting Linux. It’s basically the only game I have that I can’t run on Linux due to an anti-cheat, and I really miss playing it since I like open-world racing games… Their launcher also doesn’t run on Wine last time I tried, either. (I hope that at least changed since then?)
You know, here’s the funny thing about Ghost Recon Wildlands.
Ubisoft and Riot really need to have a talk, because the Valorant anticheat fucks with the Ubisoft anticheat. In the end, I couldn’t even run Wildlands on Windows until I uninstalled Valorant and its anticheat. It’s too bad that such a fun co-op game is stuck behind some of the most obnoxious “protection” on the market.
Heck several games the do use EAC work now. Valve flexed some muscle and got compatibility with Proton pushed through.

When you don’t use windows for a few months, you’ll feel like that on first boot. ‘Oh, you haven’t used this program on your desktop in a while (lists entire desktop). You want me to clean it up into a folder, because you don’t use it anyway? I would also like to attend you to some urgent updates you need to install right now, and after that I have updates for your updates waiting, like 3 increments in a row with reboots each.’ And of course, during the chore of updating, Edge appears and becomes your default browser. Take that you dirty cheater!
That just reminds me why I left in the first place. Bye!

But hey, he opened a new tab for you (What’s new in version xxx; Thanks for using firefox…) so you can go looking right away! 😂
My Windows partition is a vm that has its own 4060Ti and that I use via looking glass.
So it should behave or the host will just kill it off.

I have a dualboot because I had something to finish that couldn’t be realistically moved to Linux because I put the required files all over the Windows system instead of 1 easily movable folder. Anyway, I am lazy to finish that. It’s been 2 years since I booted up that Windows.
I left due to not being able to open 2 settings menus. I am not putting up with that bullshit.
Hey, not my fault Valve’s vr support sucks on Linux.
Jokes aside, are there still games that doesn’t work on Linux? I haven’t met one in over a year.
Some games with intrusive DRM or anticheat. Also VR is pretty bad
I bet that wife wishes she has anti-cheat.

I’m very proud to announce that 98% of my steam titles play perfect on my gaming Linux setup. I main Pop!_os and I love it so much.
Tarkov runs perfect but its 3rd party anti cheat doesn’t support Linux so it’s not playable online.
Certain games from the Xbox Microsoft store like halo wars 2 cannot run on Linux, PC or Xbox only. Very few exceptions. Couldn’t he happier. I highly recommend it
I’ve had issues with vr games, mostly playable, but way less consistent and I’ve gotten motion sick when I haven’t on windows. Though I last tried a year or so ago, so it could have improved
Same here. Ended up deleting my windows partition altogether after a few months.
Games that calculate a lot of pathfinding or similar in the GPU will end in a CPU-melting stutter fairly soon when run on Vulcan.
Satisfactory is a good example or this: It quickly becomes unplayable with any halfway complex setup.
If you’ve got a Linux native version, then you’re fine.
Huh, I haven’t had any issues with satisfactory
In a dual boot system I like to call the Windows partition the “Destiny 2 Partition”
I call mine the starcitizen partition
In my experience, gaming on linux has been better than on windows
Actually. I recently started using Linux for the first time, I play a wide variety of games and my laptop I was trying it on, 1 game didn’t work on Linux that (barely, buggy as hell and abandoned by devs) worked on Windows, but 2 other games that didn’t run smooth enough on Windows to be playable, ran fine on Linux, all the others were about the same. Gaming experience has far far exceeded my expectations going in and expecting lots of headaches and issues.
It‘s really sooo much better. But it lacks in one area: PCVR. SteamVR for Linux feels a bit more janky, but that’s not really the main issue.
The issue is that, to stream from PC to the quest line of devices, you need oculus’s software, which only runs on windows.
ALVR exists, but its compression and latency are considerably worse in my experience.
So I have a small separate SSD for windows :(
Nah Linux is too cool to care if you use other operating systems or not. It’s Windows and Mac that react like this.
So you’re saying Linux is a cuckold?
Committed loyal Linux users here. I don’t even have my Linux dress up to role play Windows via a virtual machine. We still get kinky tho 😜
Same. I have a boot partition and a user partition, and they get along just fine.
I started to get better 5 years ago. These days it’s at least 60-70% where Windows is with respect to gaming. According to protondb.com, 78% of the top 100 steam games (and 75% of the top 1000) are directly playable on linux with no or very little tweaking required.
I have a Quest 2 VR headset that I use for playing sim racing like Assetto Corsa, and flight sim on Xplane 11. To use that I have to open up Meta’s Quest app, connect the headset to the computer over the WIFI, and it sorta functions like a monitor. In that I can view the whole Windows desktop environment on a virtual screen floating in VR space. When you open a VR game like Xplane you stop seeing the floating monitor, and it takes over the whole VR eye space for the duration you play it.
Is this type of thing also possible on Ubuntu? If so, I’ll shitcan Windows ASAP.
Quest 2 owner here, your best bet is trying ALVR as virtual desktop straight up doesn’t support Linux, but honestly YMMV. I daily drive linux and have done so for awhile now, I’ve found performance for most games these days, usually runs on par with Windows. But I found the performance for VR much much worse (with a 6700xt}. . Not to mention I was getting a long standing bug that valve hadn’t fixed in fucking years on SteamVR in linux the last time I tried it. Although maybe that’s changed since SteamVR 2.0.
I’d happily try again if my quest 2 didn’t have mad stick drift and no amount of cleaning the contacts seems to be fixing it :(
