Up to 10% performance hit isn't small. Controversial opinion, but linux isn't good for gaming even in 2024.
People who are making such things possible are doing great piece of work, but I would say it's more about gaming industry isn't ready for this.
Developers still don't case about linux, performance hit is too big, anti-cheat systems have issues and Linux desktop is too fragmented.
OOBE\BYPASSNRO still works at least
- Kim_Bruning 2y agoI think it depends what games you play. Steam actually allows you to return a game if it doesn't run on your system (in fact they have a very generous return policy indeed). GOG is a bit more strict, and a bit more hit-and-miss, but also Mostly Works (tm). The unifying factor is steam and/or heroic games launcher (and one or two others besides), which set up your system to run a particular game. Most of the games I've bought in the past year or so Just Work (tm). Obviously YMMV. When it comes to GOG, hilariously, sometimes installing the windows version _on linux_ is the easier option, what with wine/proton forming the universal compatibility layer. I'm sort of wondering if we might evolve to a point where there's proton-for-windows, and then everyone can just target proton exclusively.
