    Not good enough for DRM games, most mmo games or playing on private servers in minecraft or something.

      What’s are you talking about with Minecraft? I’ve always been able to joins any server cause it’s the same game.

        Yeah plenty of actual examples for games that don’t work / work well on Linux. Minecraft is not on that list

        Private servers not official Microsoft ones you login on the game. A server that isn’t connected by Microsoft organization in the Minecraft community. That’s the private server im talking about.

          I play Minecraft without any problem on:

          1. Local LAN Game
          2. Local Private Server (Forge mostly).
          3. Online Private Server. either my own or from others.
          4. Official Internet Server

          No idea what problems you seem to have but Minecraft works 100% perfect on Linux.

            Think they mean Bedrock, not Java

            Bedrock is the windows-forced version and has Realms, which is probably what they mean by private server

            Really good example of the difference between old and new school PC gaming right there

              Oh yes, I had actually forgotten that this things exists. You could be right. But quick search says there is a way to use Bedrock on linux and connect to all kind of servers / realms as well. even together with java users. but tbh, i have not looked deeper into it.

          Yeah nah I host my own Minecraft server and you’re just wrong. I’ve used multiple server softwares as well that have nothing to do with Microsoft. Are you talking about bedrock edition maybe?

          Java version is the easiest to run on Linux. I have seen that people have gotten Bedrock to work but it looks a lot harder to get running and has more limitations.

          Java is famously cross-platform. It even means you can run a Minecraft server on Arm64 without issue. I currently have a heavily modded Minecraft server hosted on an Ampere Alta VPS without a single hitch

      If the DRM or anticheat needs low enough level access that it won’t run in wine I don’t think I really want it running on my computer either way.

      I think it’s almost at the point where the only games that don’t work are games with anti cheat that refuse to play nicely.

      minecraft (java, not sure about bedrock) on linux is flawless, private servers work exactly as they do on windows.
