    Only if you don’t play current games. Booting up something from like 7 years ago? Sure it will run fine. Unoptimized AAA game released in 2024? You will be sweating and turning on every last performance boosting setting your card can manage.

      I exclusively run Linux and I play modern games all the time without issues. You just click “install” on Steam and it works 99.9% of the time; I dont even look up the game to check if it works anymore. Also, have a look at some comparisons on YouTube — some games actually run faster on Linux because there’s less bloat in the OS.
