i tried to run cyberpunk for hours and didnt work. im back to windows 11 where stuff work
i have dodi repack of cyberpunk,i tested it on ubuntu after i installed the drivers for my gpu. i used bottles,terminal wine,lutris,steam add non steam app with proton,heroic. and none of them worked. only wine did and the screen was black but sound was there so still useless. i searched for hours and tried everything nothing worked.
i just nuked the ubuntu parition and bios place gone back to windows. launched the game and it worked fine.
i will never use linux again until the gaming is fixed.
people that read linux is good for gaming,dont get scammed like i did. stay on windows if you care about gaming.
note: this post isnt a ragebait im serious this did happen.
I would suggest first doing the basics first before diving in and trying to run cracked games. I had trouble and had to go through multiple troubleshooting steps to get DODI repacks working on windows even. the difference is there are a ton of resources of people spending hours and hours fixing broken cracked games on windows (dodi Hogwarts legacy has like 100+ threads on reddit with fixes) where Linux just isn’t popular enough yet to have a big community find fixes for your cracked games for you already and the fixes from windows often don’t work.
First try browsers, steam games, streamimg, and light use while dual booting, you can still keep windows for the games that don’t work on Linux.
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. Just take it one step at a time. You are trying to reduce tracking. That is going to be 90% internet browsing, so if you already switch to Linux for that, you are much of the way there.
