    How far behind do you think Linux gaming is?

    Check protondb, I’d be surprised if you couldn’t play 9 out of your 10 most played games.

      Depends on what you play. Multiplayer FPS games are still very far behind, where 9/10 don’t work due to anti-cheat.

      If you only play small indie games or single player games you’re fine, but if you want any kind of competitive multiplayer you’re hosed.

        Apex legends, overwatch 2, baldurs gate 3 and starfield are all gold on protondb. The only recent release I’ve found that’s borked is cod: cold war and I’m sure that will be fixed eventually

          Apex Legends has repeatedly falsely banned Linux players. I’m not risking my account.

          Any CoD, Destiny 2, Valorant, iRacing and a bunch of others are flat out not compatible and some have explicitly said there’s no plan to support Linux at any point.
