  Every game I’ve bought this year has ran perfectly in Linux. And I don’t check the Linux status before I buy them. Yolo has paid off

    Same here, the only games that don’t work are the ones that’s ship with anti cheats the behave like root kits (I really nasty type of malware).

        No, 99% of multiplayer games work perfectly fine, the only 2 I know of that have rootkit anti cheats are rainbow 6 siege and Valerant

    In my experience, most games either don’t work at all (very rare), or work 99% as well as on Windows. For instance, I’m playing Hitman WoA right now, and opening the Steam overlay makes the game run in slow motion until I restart it, and it goes in the single-digit FPS if my laptop is charging. Very rarely does a game runs better on Linux than Windows.

      Never encountered this issue you have, by any chance on Linux you are using a old version of proton or nvidia GPU?

        I’m on a Intel/nVidia dual-GPU laptop.

    Same. I think 80% of my pre existing library already worked and then every game ive bought since the switch runs perfect. I used to check protondb first, now I just yolo and add my report later.

  Uuuh, the compatibility percentage is way past 50%, can’t use the word “most” anymore.

  Probably not most anymore but still plenty of them.

  Exactly. I don’t care much for Windows bloat, but if 100% of games run on Windows and even 99% of games run on Linux, I’m sticking with Windows for gaming. It’s just that simple. If that ever reverses, then I’ll switch to Linux for gaming.

    I’m ok with not having access to the 1% of games out there that want to act like rootkits
