I very rarely get issues gaming on Linux and have noticed better performance across the board.
Meanwhile, Windows friends on Discord are often holding up gaming night because of driver issues, crashes, device detection/selection issues, troubleshooting settings to see what’s causing inexplicable FPS drops…
On the very rare times this happens on Linux, you just go to ProtonDB and someone’s usually posted the fix; usually selecting another Proton version or pasting in a launch line.
Yep, I’ve been using Linux for gaming for years on and off.
The funny thing is that I owned an Xbox, and, it failed to stream to windows (just got a black screen). That’s actually when i spit the dummy and sold the Xbox, and switched back to linux.
I also owned a Mac Studio M2, which cost MORE than a gaming PC, (M2 didn’t even have hardware raytracing). And, my steam library was fairly empty (because, no proton).
No OS is perfect, but, Steam clearly wouldn’t be releasing a Linux based VR headset and “console”, if they weren’t confident.
