Absolutely. I've been stubborn in the past five years or so about Linux gaming where if a game doesn't work, I just don't play it. And as time went on in the past few years, more and more games just... started working out of the box. Maybe 30% of games worked a few years back and now probably 98% work.
It's not always perfect (looking at you, borderlands 3), but it works in a vast majority of games I've played. If gaming is a reason preventing others from stepping into Linux based on experiences from even two years ago, definitely check it out again -- it's night and day. It's been incredible to see how quickly they've been able to make Linux completely viable for gaming.
Now about my productivity..

Neither of us have super powerful PCs, just 6600XTs, but the level of bugginess (such as the game jumping to default monitor every so often) is about what I would expect for Windows too given how complicated modern games are.
- chaps 5y agoYeah, the specific issue is from the first mission where you have to watch a TV segment to continue. Problem is, the proton version isn't built with a package to play video files within the game engine itself. So while video files can be played during things like startup, that's about it. It's a fair amount of work to fix it and it makes noise in my steam setup.. and honestly, it's not that worth it to me.
