I've been incredibly skeptical of Linux gaming for a long time now. But more than that I've been fed up with windows. I finally bit the bullet and bought some new ssd's. Burned a bazzite iso and booted from the thumb drive. Honestly? The setup was flawless. The only thing I could see a non-technical person struggling with is burning images and booting from a drive. If a shop starts selling pre-builts with Linux configured for gaming then this might actually be the year of the Linux desktop

Now excuse me I'm gonna go play Arx Fatalis

You'll likely run into some problems eventually but yes, for the most part things work very well now. My only significant problems are typically cause by anti-cheat software.

When you start playing Factorio, all will be forgotten.
