Fall guys fortnite and apex (judge me if you want but my broke firend don't wanna try anything else)
I can confirm that both apex and fallguys are working just fine on Linux. Fortnite on the other hand does not.
I'm not judging, as I said I was curious. I get it though, Apex just had a Linux ban wave, Fortnite well, it's owned by Epic and Fall Guys to my knowledge requires editing AC files so Windows in your case is more convenient
Sorry if i sounded a little rude. It's just that most of the time people think i'm 6y/o just because i play fortnite and it got quite annoying
Hey, I like some backstreet songs. Just like in music, if you just like what you like and don't let people tell you differently you'll have a more healthy relationship with your own opinion. Like what you like and don't be ashamed.
With the exception of the false positive ban wave reported a few days ago, Apex Legends has played flawlessly on Linux for the last couple of years. According to comments on protondb, Fall Guys also appears to be working fine, including multiplayer with anti-cheat. I'm not trying to tell you that you shouldn't run Windows if you want to, but perhaps you didn't fully explore all options?
If you switch back to Linux you could suggest Shatterline to your broke friends. It's f2p and had no issues with anti-cheat last time I tried it. I think Overwatch 2 is also f2p.
I tried playing fall guys back in the days but it needed a few tweaks and it just didn't work. Maybe it has changed so idk. Also thanks for your suggestions i'll try them and see if i can switch back to nixos
