From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Every game I want to play actually working first time everytime.
How to know someone hasn't gamed on Linux in years.
Not like that at all now.
Actually I'm completely new to Linux and only started using it as my main pc a few days ago. The games I've tried so far is: cs2 which plays natively without proton but with significant performance impacts which makes it virtually unplayable. And I've tried space engineers which is supposed to work but without audio (it wouldn't launch for me) and beamng which is gold in protondb but I couldn't get it to launch at all. Come to think of it I must be doing something wrong because so far I haven't been able to get any game to launch when using proton.
I've been on Linux for 3 years now, and while almost every game works everytime, there are still a few that I either can't get to run, or when I do they are unstable and require tinkering to get right. Catherine is a big one, that has gotten a lot better with more recent versions of proton, but still has glitches especially when transitioning from gameplay to cutscene.
Oh, Linux started being like that some 3 or 4 years ago for me. Of course, it depends to some extent on the actual games you want to play. Destiny 2 is apparently never gonna run.
Look at the post I sent to prole my experience has not really been smooth sailing.
Yeah, even after owning a Steam Deck for a year and recently switching my Desktop to Linux, its very hard to get the settings right. Things Like uplay working in Steam Deck but Not out of the Box in my Desktop seems so insensical to me.
I'm running Bazzite, and haven't had a single issue running a game...
I'm running bazzite too. What games have you been playing?
