get linux if you haven't already

if you don't know how, ask, Lemmy is covered in Linux users

I'm building a new gaming PC and it's going to be a Linux build and if it doesn't work the way you guys keep insisting it will, I swear to God.

My last experience with Linux was with Ubuntu about 10 years ago and I can't say it was a particularly great experience I'm hoping that in the last decade it's improved its user experience.

I'm migrating to Linux Mint, 99% of steam games work as well as on windows. Those who don't are mostly multiplayer games that insist to have some shitty kernel anticheat.

I'll still keep windows on dual boot when I need it, though.

Well no Helldivers if I go that route

Helldivers works fine on Linux, I play it from time to time.

Usually it works but, every once and a while they have an update that breaks shit but they usually fix it pretty quickly.

Maybe too late, but,no tux, no bux.

There are more games than you could ever play in a lifetime that now support Tux, the Linux mascot. I won't purchase a game that I can't play on Linux. If that means I miss out on a few AAA games I'm ok with that.
