> I do eshew all RGB though, maybe that makes me a filthy casual by some arbitrary standard I’d say what makes you a “casual” is that you didn’t list a multiplayer game. If you’re not sweating against other players, then you probably prefer to keep it casual. That’s fine! But if I can’t play Overwatch, the latest Call of Duty, Escape from Tarkov, etc on Linux, then I wouldn’t bother. I think it’s more about multiplayer when talking about casual vs more serious.

Overwatch seems to work pretty well with Lutris and DXVK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMEHaSVrk1I https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMEHaSVrk1I Of course your mileage may vary depending on the type of GPU. (My RX 5700 XT worked well, though you have to wait a few minutes after opening the game for the shader compilations to finish.)

Multiplayer is pretty much the only area Linux falls down due to anticheat. With that said Titanfall 2 works and I can get pretty sweaty in that, csgo also works natively though I've not played for years. I used to play R6: Seige a lot before ditching my dual boot which I miss but dualbooting gets old when you have to shut down everything just to switch OS. There is work to get anticheat working in Linux but it's kinda a pipedream as Linux is still seen as a haven for cheaters by anticheat developers so it feels like a never ending arms race rather than something that seems likely to happen any time soon.

  Does Stadia actually run on Linux? If so, I think that has tons of mp games, yes? Maybe it actually is worthwhile to support it as a vehicle to get anticheat on Linux?

    I've not checked anything to do with Stadia - or any other game streaming service - as they don't really appeal to me. Who needs lag single player games? :D With that said there are anticheats which work on linux like Battleye but only with linux native versions of games which negates all the proton work unfortunately. IIRC Valve are working with AC developers to get it working via wine/proton but I'm not holding my breath.
