I took the dive into Linux gaming at the start of the year and never switched back to windows. It’s so much better for everything and Steams work on big picture has let me turn my PC into the Linux console of my dreams since the steam machine vaporware days.

Additionally the ease of use of using Linux vs windows for gaming has gotten me to start using my pc for local coop a lot more. I’ve had so much more success using multiple controllers with Linux than windows.

My biggest worry, like anyone’s, was that I would feel limited by the games I can play. I’ve honestly started to try even more games since I’ve had better experiences with switch emulators on Linux (Yuzu my baby). Sometimes a newer game won’t let me use the latest version of DLSS my GPU supports but that doesn’t make a game unplayable, I just don’t get max graphics/ performance.

The only game I can’t play is rocket league. But I can only blame Epic for actively breaking the game on Linux.

    Welcome to the club! Linux gaming is light years better than it’s ever been before. I don’t miss Windows at all and 95% of games I try seem to work now with only modest tinkering at most. Tell your friends!
