I know, lame post, but I wanted to say that Linux gaming has gotten soooo much better, to the point that I honestly think my games are running better than on Windows. I’ve played so many games, but notable ones are Halo: MCC, MS Flight Sim 2020, Satisfactory, Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and right now I’m starting a full playthrough of Dragon Age.
Dragon Age is notorious even on Windows for being a pain because it’s such an old game. You have to install the 4gb patch, and even then it’s a bit rocky. Not on Linux though! I did have to install PhysX but I googled it and saw it was 2 buttons to install on Linux! Now it’s been rock solid and stable, with no crashes.
Linux gaming may have a high bar to learn, but that bar is constantly getting lower! Exciting times!
Welcome to the club! I’ve been gaming on nothing but Linux for a couple of months now and I’ve been able to run all my windows apps so far. I still have to test a final few applications in wine using bottles but so far everything’s worked.
I’m going full Linux in a could of weeks after I back up everything.
I’ll be installing Kubuntu.
Don’t listen to the others with their immutable distros or Arch. You’ll want stability and compatibility and nothing beats Ubuntu based distros for that. Plus it has the largest user base and great documentation and support.
