From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Linux Gaming: Anti-Cheats question (lemmy.world)

There are games that we cannot play on Linux because of anticheat, which detects wine/proton translation.

How do I tell the company that produces this game that I am interested in playing it on Linux?

The company behind the game I am interested in does not allow any e-mail contact. The only way to contact them is the ticket system. I sent a ticket that I'd like to play it on Linux, but got only a generic response to follow up on news etc.

Maybe if we flooded them with such tickets, they would finally see that it might be worth considering?

What do you think about it?

              Headless capitalistic entities don't love their users.
Native support or this are the best case scenarios.
Those workarounds would probably get flagged as cheating by those anti-cheat software, hell, some of these work as literal rootkits. I think Riot/LoL is a special case, they don't directly support it, but also don't treat it as a bannable offense, or something like that.
