Well I will give an update within 24 hours
any sane person should avoid that 
any company that makes it hard/impossible to maintain your onw PC w/o paying āofficialā ppl to do it for you should never be encouraged.
you need to rememebr that Apple has (and iirc are doign again) soldered RAM into motherboards.

Why i used the word āsomeā
I agree with avoiding macs. However some of the less savy people will look at the image of macs as virus proof, simple to use, and doesnt slow down. The will pay just for that alone. Others are under the impression that they must have one in order to be good at music, photo, or video editing. They are sadly just misinformed

Ok under further testing it is definitely the CPU holding it back.

Actually they really donāt have to do anything for Linux. The Linux community is perfectly capable of getting things to run on their platform, which are not natively running there.
And Windows will not loose its overwhelming market share on operating system over night. There is nothing that needs to be done here.
GUYS!!! I got it working in Proton!!! Holy crap this is huge!!! I gotta record a video ASAP. Holy crap the microstutters of the previous builds are gone! I am about to do a quick play test now. If it works then the linux version is just as viable as the windows one

Iām curious why OW isnāt on OSX. Most of their titles are on that platform. Linux would be great too but Blizzard hasnāt ported to any of the game to that platform. It would be great too see Starcraft & OW on Linux someday.
BEHOLD!!! Steam Proton Linux Overwatch in all its glory!!! This is the best version on Linux yet and I am the first to figure it out and post it. Mwahahahahaahahha

I assume they are referring to Microsoft discontinuing support for win7 ( I do believe they are going to continue support for a monthly fee if I recall correctly lol)
And a lot of people donāt like win10 and refuse to use it soā¦
Ah, reminds me of the good old days when Microsoft announced they were dropping support for Windows XP. So many people were against it, but honestly as a Win10 user, I much prefer it to Win7. It has a few oddities you have to learn but otherwise itās a stellar OS which is planned to be continually updated and supported for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile I was watching Nickelodeon and they were telling us to blow up a paper bag, make a wish, and pop it at midnight. Good times

Still not good enough for me (Iām pickyā¦) but thanks for the update! Only watched a couple mins of the vid, but btw if you havenāt already set it you need to disable mouse accel on Linux. By default itās enabled, same as Windows. If you did set that already, maybe thereās some weird input lag still (which you might have mentioned later in the vid, apologies if so).
Donāt follow the Mac world and didnāt know this. Thatās sadā¦ just when some game devs seemed to be getting on board with Vulkan, too. Making the split with *nix is not going to encourage devs to develop games for Macā¦ they already have to deal with PC/Mobile/Xbox/PS.
Not to turn this into a Win7 vs Win10 discussionā¦ but there can be driver and legacy program compatibility issues. For ex, old MS webcams that work on 7 but not 10 lol. Iāve also noticed a disturbing number of under-the-hood-hidden-from-the-end-user errors in the logs of installs. And any kind of tinkering will more often than not cause Cortana/Start Menu to permanently **** its pants beyond the point of diagnostic tool recovery, requiring a fresh user account. But otherwise, yeah itās by-and-large the better O/S IMO.
if you dont think going happen your not look at bigger picture they will lock down there platform why do you think valve make such big push for all game be able to play linux microsoft slow make push you wont see till hit you trust me
As long as software can be distributed to paying customers there is no problem for Blizzard here.
What gain would Microsoft have by not allowing Blizzard titles to run on their operating system?
becaseu they want control how every thing is they want make cut what you make if you look microsoft history you would know what talk about same way what apple try do with laptop just microsoft doing with software
Why would you want Linux?
If windows didnāt come preinstalled in so many prebuilt PCs since so long, that wouldāve helped.
But I am glad Valve is pushing more and more to help Linux. Hopefully one day itāll grow big enough to have all games natively running.
becaseu linux is future of gaming as said befor becaseu micrsoft is going lock down there platform it only matter time becaseu they want be gate keeps of all softer this why valve push is hard they can becasue gabe knows what micrsoft is up to he knows going happen this why blizzard should take page valve book suport linux they would gain lot happy people heck i would buy other copy overwatch just for that all the other comapy that dont support linux will be going crazy when micrsoft lock down there platform no can download softer where form any where else it will happen
