It was the same for me until a month ago. Thanks to the recent developments of WINE and Proton, gaming on Linux has been reliable enough that I could switch entirely to Linux and not look back. Couldn't be happier about it.
Unless you only like to play the most recent AAA releases, I suggest you give it a try.
- Karsteski 4y agoI have an HDR monitor and Windows 11 autoHDR is genuinely great. I've been considering moving my gaming PC to Linux but I really don't want my monitor features to go to waste. Maybe I'll just sit in WSL2 unless absolutely necessary but I'm sure there's a bunch of random headaches that would come with that
- dimgl 4y agoCan I play Valorant on Linux? I don't think Riot Vanguard works on it.
- surgical_fire 4y agoNever played Valorant. A quick search tells me that the "anticheat" malware that comes along with this game is not supported to run with Proton.
- MaxikCZ 4y agoThey made a big mess out of it, and I must admit I dont know if it really is malware, but IIRC the main drama was about it being kernel level, totally ignoring the fact that basically every major anticheat was running in kernel for years beforehand.
