It may be pretty good for previous-gen games and hardware, and that too after various compromises.
Current and next-gen PC hardware will always be optimized for Windows first, with some technologies being straight-up limited exclusively to Windows.
Not that gamers are losing out on anything valuable, of course. I run Debian stable and spend quite a few times gaming on it, and it turns out almost all the games that won't run on it aren't games worth playing altogether. But this is an opinion of the negligible minority like you and me. The Consumers will obviously care for the latest.
- dotnet00 3y agoCurrent gen games also tend to work immediately or within days of release nowadays.
- mynameisvlad 3y agoThe Steam Deck is, at least for Valve, a first-class citizen of its platform. Tons of money and effort has been put in to bring it up to Windows. It’s not quite there yet, but it is a lot closer than you’re making it seem.
- mcv 3y agoCyberpunk 2077 works quite well on my RTX4070. The only issue is that the few times it does crash, it takes out the compositor, but that's easily fixed.
- dartharva 3y agoHuh. Does DLSS and ray tracing also work perfectly? What settings are you running the game in?
- mcv 3y agoNo DLSS or ray tracing. Those might work if I imported the game into Steam; the it would use the Steam settings where I think they do work, from what I've heard. But I don't care that much about DLSS or ray tracing. Otherwise, I think I've got the highest graphics settings, though I haven't checked them.
