Even though I professionally work with Linux I still don't trust it enough for gaming. I know that Steam does great things with Proton, my issue is that I'm not the type of gamer who constantly plays the same game - Play a game for how long the story or my interests lasts, then switch to the next game.
And after a whole day of debugging and hair pulling at work I just don't feel like then also debugging why a game is not running like it should.
But I heard I should give it a try again, last time I gave it a shot was 2-3 years ago. Big plus would be that I'd be completely free of Windows...
- johanvts 1y agoDid you try bazzite OS, the only issue I have had was to select the proton build of CS, everything else works out of the box. Except for games that need anti-cheat… So I still ended up with a windows partition.

- plipt 1y agoMaybe you know this but Bazzite works perfectly well as a standard Linux desktop operating system. It comes with a non-gaming desktop environment and can be setup to boot directly into that desktop environment. It just defaults to the steam gaming interface.
- BoredPositron 1y agoIt's an immutable distribution...
- ThePowerOfFuet 1y agoSo? Kinoite is my main desktop and I love it. KDE is creating a new Arch-based distro which will also be immutable.
- BoredPositron 1y ago>> Maybe you know this but Bazzite works perfectly well as a standard Linux desktop operating system. STANDARD - it's not and I hate people that pretend that they are. It's that easy.
- pjerem 1y agoFWIW : I own 262 games on my steam library, played most of them at least once. I had no issue with any single game. I don't play multiplayer games so I'm not concerned by anti cheats though.
- 4ggr0 1y agohuh, good to know. i got a bit less games than you, but 200+ as well, and i also never really play MP, so sounds like i should give it a try :)
- bpye 1y agoI’ve run games on Linux with success but these days do most gaming in a Windows VM with an assigned GPU - and it works very well. Yeah aggressive anticheat won’t work - but I don’t care much about multiplayer these days, and have consoles to play on if I really want.
