Any Linux Support in Future?
Hi there, I really like this game allot, but sadly i cannot play very often because i don't have a windows PC at my disposal. I only have a PC with linux mint 19.1 and was hoping that EA wants to op...

I'm an Extreme Linux Geek! Slackware user here! W🤭T!
Linux and gaming, it's been talked about for years and I don't see it happening, which is really sad, considering now how PATHETIC Windows 10 is!
How anyone can think Windows 10 is a good OS is beyond me, there is just so much wrong with it, it's total BS!
When you do Linux right, and you know what you are doing here are the PROS of Linux!
1. More secure!
2. More stable!
3. Faster running OS!
4. No malware/viruses - Many think if it's popular then it will become a problem, malware will never be a problem because of how the system is designed!
5. No blue screens of death, no fragmentation, no file or registry corruption!
Desktops in Linux can lock up, I have seen this happen, but it's quite rare.
I've been running Slackware, let's just say a very long time!
I run only Openbox in Slackware, and in all my Geek years, running many different OS out there, I've never seen anything as fast, or more stable then my Slackware box with Openbox on it, this thing runs circles around anything out there, which is not to pat myself on the back here, it's just to state a fact, that when you run a Linux or Unux distro with only a small Window Manager as your desktop, it is ROCK SOLID and LIGHTING FAST!
For the games that I have played that have Linux support, they have always played better over the Windows version, no comparision at all!
LONG LIVE TUX! W🤭T 🙂

1. Security is not a feature, but a process. You can easiliy get a very insecure LInux, if you want to, too.
2. Most of the times, yes.
3. Depends on your scenario...
4. Wrong - otherwise e.g. rkhunter or chkrootkit would not exist. It's entirely possible to have viruses on Linux too, just because nobody really bothered much doesn't mean it's never going to happen.
5. e4defrag - xfs_defrag - btrfs filesystem defrag. All three major file systems have their own blend of dedicated defragmentation tool, because of necessity in certain conditions. And since Linux does use write caching by default, you are going to face file corruption in the event of a power outage, unless you are powering your computer on an UPS.
I'm not talking about the OS in anyones hands that has been tampered with, but Pure Vanilla Stock Systems to do comparisions on.
Anyone can screw up anything, that was not the point of the converstion, how these OS perform in the hands of the Inexperienced vs Experienced.
1. Security, I'm talking about the Design of the OS vs Windows, in that it's more secure. You're talking about less secure, in the fact that someone screwed it up.
2.No, not most of the time, all the time Linux is more Stable then Windows, again, you must be thinking about when someone screws up the system and makes it less stable.
3. No it's faster, and since you mentioned "scenario" it appears that you keep looking at the OS from the stand point of what someone has done to it and caused it to not run faster.
4. I'll admit that my reply on the subject of malware was not 100% correct, there does exsit in the wild malware, but it is extremely rare, to the point of being non existent.
5. In Linux the "File System" EXT is still the Standard. EXT4 handles fragmentation and e4defrag is not needed. On the subject of the other file systems, since they are not the Standard Linux File System, I don't refer to them, whatever issues they have, they are still outside the Scope of the Standard Linux File System.
6. I was talking about Registry Corruption, and since you brought up several references in the context of "System Modifications", maybe without realizing it, then you need to do the same for "Write Cache", which is, IF it's Enabled, then we can have the issue...
Anyhow, everything I've said can be found on Google, I don't just make up nonsense replies and spout nonsense, so for whoever doesn't believe it can Google and learn!
I've been running Slackware over 15 years... 😉
PEACE 🙂
