Just loaded up Halo Infinite on PopOS and it ran flawlessly. I’m blown away, and am now looking at moving up my plans to switch away from Windows for my desktop. The future of Linux gaming is bright!

    That’s kind of amazing. There’s no issues with multiplayer and anticheat? Does MCC work as well?

        As of when? I was trying to play co-op with MCC like a month ago and anti-cheat reliably broke it.

          About a week ago was the last time I was on. I think on mcc you had to select play with anti cheat disabled as they mixed up the logic corresponding to the choice selected, so selecting disabled would actually enable it

          Edit just tried it now and it’s still working fine

      I didn’t try MCC or multiplayer, since I was just performance testing on the computer (will eventually be the wife’s machine after we move next month), but even running Academy with the bots was running great. I was able to sign into my Microsoft account no problem though, so I want to try multiplayer next.

    Wine has come a long way! Though Linux-native gaming is not on AAA studios’ radar…

      I wasn’t even using Wine. I installed it and launched through Steam and the entire process was as seamless as if it were on Windows. Valve is doing great work.

        Well, Steam uses its Wine fork, Proton, under the hood (for non-native games). Nice to hear it’s seamless (I’m too far into having customised everything to know what the out-of-the-box experience is like)!
