It’s basically all I use, and most of the headaches are more about publisher hostility than any actual issues with Linux (no, you not being able to install your fucking rootkit is not a failing). I basically don’t even look at any of those statuses because I don’t feel like I need to. Almost everything actually does just work.
But we’re comparing it to a console lol. That, to the point of baked in performance settings tuned to the exact hardware, are their whole purpose.
Agreed. It’s a lack of publisher support that has created the issues with Linux gaming. To some extent I understand, given the minute market share Linux has historically possessed, but ultimately it’s just corporate greed. Valve is serving as a force for change, though; not altruistically, but a force nonetheless. Once Linux has a large enough install base, publishers will go where there’s money to be made, whatever anti-cheat concessions they have to make.

From video gaming to card games and stuff in between, if it’s gaming you can probably discuss it here!
