Gaming on Linux works like a charm now

It's the multi-player side that is still an issue though. The anticheat software is a pain.

Some multiplayer, but not all. Not that that makes it perfect, but I've had minimal issues with multiplayer games. I do not play popular FPS games where anti cheat software is prevalent, so that's mostly why. I did get Ghost of Tsushima the other day, and that is not compatible for online play, but I think that's because of Sony.

Personally I've had zero issues with multiplayer. But yeah, I'm also not playing the latest twitch shooters and whatever.

[–] natedog526 4 points 6 months ago

This is good news to me since I don't play twitch shooters.

I'd love to run just Linux, but I don't want to hassle with dual boot for the couple of competitive shooters I do play.

It sucks because all the other games I play would run without a problem.

Yeah, totally understood.

Wonder if there's any chance the Steam Deck / Linux market share is getting large enough where gaming companies are having to seriously consider fixing this.
