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

Usually the games can run as solid as on windows. Only issue tends to be anti-cheat software not playing nice. Apex seems to function well via Proton. Checkout ProtonDB for a list of what's working.

Overwatch 2 works very well in lutris.
