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.

I would love to one day switch over completely to Linux. Microsoft has got me trapped with their games.
I'm quite the gamer and run into very few issues gaming on linux these days. Proton is a game changer. The only real issues are if you're trying to run the latest AAA game at peak performance, or games with certain anti-cheat. But I would say more than half of the anti-cheat games still just work for me.
Or if a company decides for some cursed reason to use windows media codecs for their game's cutscenes.
One day ill get to play kingdom hearts on linux with all the cutscenes. That day is not today.
Interesting, I guess there's licensing issues for steam/proton to distribute the proprietary codecs? Seems like there should still be a way via unofficial means.
Did a quick search, have you seen this?
Bingo. Theyve been making great strides on that front, but since KH isnt released on steam, Valve efforts have been only indirectly helpful to fix it.
It has been baby steps for now: Cutscenes used to crash the game, then they played but without video nor audio, just black screen until the game resumes. Now we can hear its audio. At one point video will work. No idea when, but it will.
I appreciate your help, though that tutorial is more geared towards teaching how to use Lutris in order to play the game. In that same guide you can see my issue:
The EPIC folder is where the FMVs are. Deleting the folder grants the same result: you can play the game without FMV cutscenes. It does the job, but i want the full experience.
I could emulate some of the original games for ps2, but i prefer to wait until the pc ports work. Because they will at some point.
Ahhh, whoops, missed that line. Well damn. At least there's some hope, sounds like someone is at least able to emulate their codec to some degree. Yeah, probably just a matter of time.
check this out later, who knows, maybe you're not as bound as you think you are to windows
This is great, I'll take a closer look.
Most games work really good on Linux these days. Maybe not the latest AAA games but really, almost everything.
I don't even engage with their gaming platform. It's those darned foreign adult games that are windows only.
