    Linux supports most games nowadays. It will never support “all” games. Just like windows doesn’t support all games. At this point in time, saying Linux is not good enough with gaming is weird…

      At this point games that doesn’t support Linux are games that use anti-cheat

        Right, BattleEye is hit or miss depending on the game developer.

        Another significant drawback I have is OBS compatibility. It technically works, but just having it open drops my framerate by ~30%, and having it record drops it by ~50%. I haven’t found a fix for it yet, so I’m effectively unable to stream or record gameplay on Linux. The same settings used in Windows hardly impacts my framerate.

        I’ll continue using Linux, but I haven’t deleted my Windows partition yet.

      Depending on what games you play it’s anywhere from unusable (games with incompatible anticheat) to flat out better than windows even ignoring all the surrounding bullshit. But many of these gsmes with anticheat are among the most popular games in the world, so there’s plenty of reason not to change just bc of those for a lot of people.

      In my experience, Linux supports a handful, maybe even a large handful, but we’re far away from “most.”
