  “at least with the games I play”

  As mentioned in a recent article that was shared around here, for the games that work on Linux performance on average is 17% better, for the games that don’t work on Linux, performance is infinitely better on Windows 😛

    For sure, but these days the main offenders are online multiplayer games with restrictive anti-cheats.

    I would go so far as to say if those specific types of games are not your thing you aren’t likely to experience any issues gaming on Linux.

    I’m sure there are exceptions, but every time I think “oh this game for sure won’t work” I have eaten my words.

    And it’s like a night and day difference from the last time I tried to do this about a year and a half ago. The progress I’ve seen is almost more impressive than the performance gains. 🤷

      But if you switch to Linux for gaming, and the game you want to play doesn’t work… Well it’s not like you can trade that 17% performance improvement in to get the game to function.

      That’s a huge roadblock if you don’t know what games won’t work.

        Yeah I mean if the game you want to play doesn’t work then maybe Linux isn’t for you, at least not at this time.

        Not saying you have to switch.

        Just that my personal experience with it has been very good, better than I expected, and way better than my previous experience not long ago.

        As others have mentioned, you can check the status of your preferred games on websites like ProtonDB beforehand, you don’t have to format your Windows drive and install Linux before finding out if your games will work.

        You can always dual boot for those games … A pain, I know, but doable.

        Might even be able to run it on VM, especially if you set up a type 2 hypervisor. Again, that’s it’s own pain, but really should only be that on initially getting it to work rather than every time

  I have had no issues either, but setting a PC up for my little sister I quickly realized that for her it was a lot different. Games like Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege and Valorant do not run.
