Linux seems to be common to run things like servers, but is that the case for consumer hardware?
When I’ve looked at peripherals like keyboards and controllers linux support has been lacking. Of course, for keyboards I went out of my way to get qmk compatible ones to use via and vial instead so I dont need to run an exe of unknown origins to remap or update the firmware.
And how is it for games. Is there more of a push to support Linux for their games? Since like Genshin Impact they only officially support Windows. There’s work around with anime launcher which disables the DRM, but I wouldn’t consider that Linux support with it risking a ban. They have their own version of Finals now and Ive wondered if that has Linux support or at least have the DRM work with wine type methods instead of the approach Valorant took.
What do you mean lacking support for keyboards and controllers? Maybe for doing weird custom stuff like RGB, but for anything else they’re standard HIDs and will work with anything, no “support” needed. You can plug a USB keyboard and mouse into your phone and it’ll work if you want.
I’m currently playing Clair Obscur on linux through steam with a cheap fake xbox controller I got off ebay, and it works perfectly. I’m using an Nvidia card too, and I haven’t had to do any customisation or anything.
Easy anti-cheat won’t work, so Valorant/Fortnite, etc. are out of the question for now, but any games that don’t use that kind of malware are probably fine.
