Do you have a few minutes to learn about our lord and savior Linux?

[–] Bosht 14 points 3 weeks ago (13 children)

Man the Linux propaganda is STRONG on Lemmy. I'll say what I've said before: I use my computer for gaming, web browsing, and managing a media server for my family that hosts pictures and other things. If those 3 things can be done easily without issue on a Linux distro without having to fuck around with configs every time I want to do something, I'm all in. By what I've heard though it's just not there yet. I am super happy Steam decided to go Linux for their Steamdeck though as I've heard thats helped make monumental strides the right direction. Trust me, I want to. Large part of it is I worked tech support for over a decade and having to troubleshoot my own shit is like the furthest thing I want to deal with haha

If you can live without games having invasive anticheat, then everything should be doable, and probably a lot easier than in Windows.

Yeah not really into multiplayer competitive games. Indo play a lot of co op though. Will have to find a list somewhere.

Proton DB is the place to go. But I don't check 99% of games I play, unless it's going to be an expensive purchase and I want to check before I buy. I also don't bother with people's suggested tweaks on proton db unless I actually personally experience issues. The only game I've had to tweak so far has been cyberpunk 2077.

Edit: added context, I'm on 2 monitors and one of them is an ultrawide. Never had any issues that aren't similar to issues I've experienced on Windows in the past.
