Yeah
How is gaming on Linux? What do you play?
- Raineer 3y agoI was commenting on this just last week. Gaming on Linux has exploded since the Steam Deck was released (just as all Linux users were hoping it would). All the effort which went into Proton to get games working on Steam Deck has done wonders for the desktop. It used to be that you could play AAA games up to about 2 years prior (same story like macOS today), but now you can play almost anything on desktop Linux. I even run HiDPI / 5K monitor and it all works now, at least on Arch. The only notable exception (truly, a surprise), at the moment, is Starfield not working on day 1. This was surprising, but the reasons net down to GPU drivers - and progress is already being made.
- catlover76 3y agoNice! Yeah I downloaded Steam on here to try it, but my hardware isn't up to the task. Seems like it worked well from a software perspective though!
- happymellon 3y agoI'm playing Horizon Zero Dawn right now. Works great on Linux, as do the hundreds of other games I've played.
- catlover76 3y agoGreat to hear!
