Is that still the case? Last I checked the graphics support was there. Exactly in this time frame since SteamOS announcement they pushed NVidia and friends to provide better Linux support as well.
- flukus 9y agoCan't speak for nvidia, but AMD has been improving rapidly since they released full open source drivers. Ubuntu 16.04 won't work well with newer AMD cards, but 17.04 works extremely well and there are further improvements coming in future. Anyone wanting to play games on linux should be buying AMD at this stage.

The Linux support is far better than it was a few years ago, but not even remotely comparable - NVidia (and I think AMD too, but I have a NVidia card) provide a new Windows driver with specific optimizations for almost every AA to AAA game. For example: The last Linux driver in the "short lived" branch came out at 09.05., the last Windows driver 29.06
