i’ve been interested in switching to linux for gaming but i’m not sure how the games i play run; i like to play Apex legends and Overwatch 2 competitively. can linux run these games with low latency and high frame rate? i’m looking into the Nobara project and pikaOS distros

I can give next to no actual helpful advice, but I’ll throw something into the void. I’m pretty sure the anticheat Apex uses isn’t supported on Linux, and I have no clue about O2

Apex uses the version of EAC that works on Linux actually, it should work.

February 2022 they put out an update that enabled Proton support for EasyAntiCheat. Apex and Overwatch 2 both work.
