I've been trying to move to FreeBSD for quite some time, but I play games on Linux heavily, the last time I tried playing on FreeBSD I had some driver issues with Nvidia; of course, Nvidia not being the best when it comes to open source.
How is the gaming experience in FreeBSD these days? Has anyone tried it?
Funny, a long time ago I was in the hurdle of switching between Windows and Linux to play games, now with Proton, it is "FreeBSD vs Linux".
- gigatexal 3y agoSame here. I’ll forever be on Fedora 38 until gaming via proton etc is as easy as it is on Linux.
- asveikau 3y agoI would not say I've been gaming with it, but proprietary nvidia drivers have not given me problems on freebsd.
- jjahdhnmko 3y agoI don't really know, but I suspect it still isn't very good for that use case. There simply isn't much overlap between those communities. Desktop environments on FreeBSD would still be somewhat unusual in my view and I would tell somebody trying to get that setup to just use Linux if it's a big deal for them.
