I agree with you on that last bit. Pretty fucking annoying to see people act like Linux is perfectly fine for games which give new people some hope only to be frustrated and quit when they realize it’s not as fine as people make it out to be

They don’t realize that its hurting the chances of people actually adopting linux when they say misleading shit

For now linux is worth dual booting. Use linux for everything else and windows for gaming

All you have to do is check this website to check support quality for your games https://www.protondb.com/, and then decide if you want to quit. I think you don’t realize how low effort it is now, not more effort that escaping from Microsoft’s waves of enshitification.

Its more low effort (relatively low effort) for people who are already accustomed to linux and the puzzle that is to properly set up for gaming.

The issue im referring to is how people downplay linux need for manual set up.

If you choose a gaming oriented distribution like Pop OS and your game is well supported according to protondb, then there’s no manual set up, it’s as much click and play as Windows.

Linux is perfectly fine for games

It is. Except very specific Anti-Cheat enabled games, it just is

Use linux for everything else and windows for gaming

Instructions unclear, only gaming on Linux with 0 actual issues and an overall better experience

Except for CoD, that i keep windows around for (zombies addict, it’s a problem)

If thats the case then why do i worse performance on linux compared to windows? The issues have nothing to do with anticheat. Just cause a game runs doesnt mean its ideal especially for people that dont have money to be upgrading their pc
