I'm so close to making the switch. I'm just a poor soul though who enjoys games with those annoying anti-cheats. Thinking about trying to do a duel boot just for those specific scenarios.
Thats what I have. I suggest you take 2 different drives. Makes your life a lot easier.
I agree, dualboot is something you shouldn't even attempt between linux and windows on the same drive. With some time, one, or both systems will totally break
Yeah, windows does NOT like other systems on its drive, with separate drives it won't steal boot
It sometimes will still decide to murder your boot manager.
That's why my machine defaults to Linux and if I want windows I have to hold f11 on boot to load my motherboard's boot selector and select my windows drive.
It's not fancy like GRUB or anything, but I don't interact with it much and it gets the job done.
Just a PSA, The Finals is playable on Linux and is F2P with a very reasonable monetization (cosmetic only with some free cosmetic options as well) and the new season just began.
For me it scratches that multiplayer itch because the destructible environments make matches feel very dynamic.
How it's the community? I expect a good bit of toxicity with any online but if it's not flooded with kids like fortnite I'd assume it's not too bad.
And what about the mtx? Is it aggressive or annoying?
I would say the community is much better than what you would expect from Call of Duty or Destiny or anything looking to hit super mainstream. I think most toxic players won't play the game because the game has a high effective TTK. The average encounter is around probably 1-2 seconds because you usually need to hit more than 5 shots and your opponent has enough time to react and use movement to make them a harder target to hit. The higher TTK may be a deal breaker, it was for a lot of people during launch, but I personally enjoy it.
I think the MTX is pretty mild. It's all cosmetic so they don't impact the core gameplay at all, which means if you don't care about cosmetics your only interaction with the MTX is the little sale window on the top left of the main menu. You can earn some in game currency to buy cosmetics but because it's F2P their only revenue streams are the battlepass (which again is also strictly cosmetic rewards or in game currency) and the cosmetic shop. Some things are only for real cash and they can look expensive (like $20 for a pack of cosmetic items) but they usually come with in game currencies so if you're planning to use the in game currency as well that $20 usually drops to $7-$8 which for 2025 isn't actually that much. I forgot to mention, the battlepass can be bought for the in game currency so what I've done is bought the $20 thingy and the use most of the in game currency to buy the battlepass.
Definitely duel boot. I always like to keep my options open.
duel boot
Lmao Linux and Windows sitting there like ⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️
Fighting over the MBR.
I realized that after I hit post. Autocorrect is weird on some apps lol
