I beg to differ. Haven't had a Linux-specific issue in many years, it just works.
Wholly depends on the types of games you play, personally I don't play competetive type online multiplayer games that require kernel level anti-cheat access and as such, I've had zero issues with gaming. Running EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma.
Same. Steam stuff and old stuff. I don't play multiplayer, that really seems to be where all the problems lie.
I love Linux, I used to use it for a few years during the windows 8 era. I eventually went back to windows and it's just been a comfier place to be for me. Everything works. Every game works with zero additional thought. I need to run CAD software for work and unfortunately integrate with Microsoft services for work.
I could possibly switch to Linux on my home theatre PC that i use in my living room because I use Kodi and browsers for media consumption and mostly game on it by using steam remote play to access games from my windows gaming PC. That might be something that I consider trying in the future.
Autodesk is also locking me into windows 😕
I exclusively use Geruda Linux. Things run better there than on windows.
I've been gaming pretty much exclusively on Linux (and Steam Deck) for the last few years. No issues so far. What problems did you run into?
