Even though I professionally work with Linux I still don't trust it enough for gaming. I know that Steam does great things with Proton, my issue is that I'm not the type of gamer who constantly plays the same game - Play a game for how long the story or my interests lasts, then switch to the next game.

And after a whole day of debugging and hair pulling at work I just don't feel like then also debugging why a game is not running like it should.

But I heard I should give it a try again, last time I gave it a shot was 2-3 years ago. Big plus would be that I'd be completely free of Windows...

Did you try bazzite OS, the only issue I have had was to select the proton build of CS, everything else works out of the box. Except for games that need anti-cheat… So I still ended up with a windows partition.

I guess he wants to use his general computing device as a general computing device and not as a console.

Maybe you know this but Bazzite works perfectly well as a standard Linux desktop operating system. It comes with a non-gaming desktop environment and can be setup to boot directly into that desktop environment. It just defaults to the steam gaming interface.

It's an immutable distribution...

So? Kinoite is my main desktop and I love it. KDE is creating a new Arch-based distro which will also be immutable.

STANDARD - it's not and I hate people that pretend that they are. It's that easy.

FWIW : I own 262 games on my steam library, played most of them at least once. I had no issue with any single game.

I don't play multiplayer games so I'm not concerned by anti cheats though.

huh, good to know. i got a bit less games than you, but 200+ as well, and i also never really play MP, so sounds like i should give it a try :)

I’ve run games on Linux with success but these days do most gaming in a Windows VM with an assigned GPU - and it works very well.

Yeah aggressive anticheat won’t work - but I don’t care much about multiplayer these days, and have consoles to play on if I really want.
