    The more steam deck and proton get games working on linux, the less need I have for this bloated windows.

      It’s truly ridiculous how much Linux gaming leapfrogged with the Steam Deck. I’m contemplating installing a debian partition for my main PC since I don’t really play a lot of games that need anti-cheat.

      The madlads really did it.

        I’ve been gaming on Tumbleweed now for a month and my issues are minor enough that a tweak or two gets me flawless performance - and that’s if there’s an issue. Highly recommend embracing the penguin, comrades.

        I installed Fedora on a seperate SSD, and I now dual-boot alongside Windows 11. It took a bit of time and tweaking until I felt comfortable with using Fedora as my daily driver, but it’s been great.

        Everything is smooth and fast, and I have all the apps I need. Well, almost. I subscribe to Game Pass, and have a couple of Steam games that don’t run on Linux, so I have to boot into Windows when I want to play those games. Other than that, it’s all great.

        If devs started making anticheat for Linux it would get closer.

        If they stopped making launchers it would be easier too.

          Is really just:

          1. Install any Linux Distro
          2. See if you have the drivers for your hardware already installed
          3. Install Steam
          4. Change the setting for Enable Steam Play on Steam
          5. Download the game and play it.

          Of course, like in windows, something could go wrong and you need to tinker a little bit to fix it but for the vast majority is just like that.

      Been a Linux-only gamer for a year now. The hype is real and PC gaming has changed forever. Most people just hesitate to actually leave Windows behind, but the grass on the other side is much, much greener.
