    It’s not that simple for gamers.

        It depends on the type of games you play. If you’re more like me and you enjoy playing single-player games, then yeah you’re all set. If all you play is Valorant and Fortnite and PUBG and League of Legends, you’re much more likely to have a hard time. Anticheats are a special kind of evil.

          I thought not supporting Windows rootkits is a positive for Linux?

          BTW, LoL is playable!

            League is playable most of the time but the launcher frequently breaks and there tend to be issues in-game, I’ve randomly had sound just straight up not work, and it tends to require a custom build of wine. It’s far from the most playable gaming experience. There are much better gaming experiences to be had on Linux.

        The problem lies with the games that don’t run well. I love Linux as much as the next guy and I hope to see better support in the future.

        I check in every now and then. It is still not to the standards that I want.

        That is great for your fiancée! Some of my games don’t, unfortunately.

      Not until game companies embrace Proton(-GE) and Steam Deck.

      The only modern games I’ve ever had issues with were a few select DX12 games (and that’s due to my GPU). Outside of that, some old games outside of Steam game me trouble, but that’s usually just a matter of fiddling with some settings in Lutris. Even then, those are usually games that also have trouble on modern Windows versions, and they often require less tweaking on Linux to get them running.

        Modern DX12 games and older games are my jam. Besides, Star Citizen…

          Mostly, last I tried Browser only about 6 months back it was still missing features that standard office apps had.
