Linux gaming is getting better and better. Yes, we have a few sacrifices to make in the form of not getting to play every mainstream title, but many of the ones worth your time have great Linux versions, and if not, they might run well in Wine.

I wiped Windows nine months ago and installed Arch. The only things I missed were Dark Souls and Insurgency.

I found out a week ago that Dark Souls runs like butter in Wine, and Insurgency just got native Linux support the other day. I am a happy Linux gamer.

As for the titles that choose to avoid supporting my operating system, well I guess I won't be supporting them with my dollars.

Do you have any issues with drivers for things like mice, keyboards, joysticks?

I have a RAT5 mouse and am X-55 Rhino HOTAS for Elite: Dangerous and as far as I am aware, there are no drivers for these under Linux.
