You only need Windows for gaming if you’re playing games that are installing malware rootkits. Normal gaming is fine on Linux.
and even then we are talking about games written for windows. gaming on linux is fine
Most games are written for windows (or build the binary for windows), and many (if not still most) games with Linux builds run better through proton than the native build. It’s worth noting that it’s at least as common for games to run better through proton than natively on windows as it is to see any measurable hit from using proton.
Your limitation is almost entirely companies doing shit that should be jail time.
Not true, many games still don’t work well on Linux, see any Forza game, and even CS2 doesn’t play nice on Pop
What issues does Forza have on Linux? I can’t speak for the Motorsport series, but I’ve been playing 4 and 5 on my Steam Deck and desktop for a while now without issue.
My fps tanks, but I’m using an Nvidia card. Max 30fps when I can get 90 on Windows.
Also the Xbox integration for the party system took a long time to fix. Maybe just a Pop_OS issue tho
