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

you’re 100% right, i just got a new ssd today to dualboot for starters :)

This is the answer. Dual boot for awhile and experiment a bit. Sometimes games work out of the box, other times it needs a bit of tinkering which most of the time someone else has already identified what you need to do to fix your issue.

Things like Lutris, Steam, Wine and ProtonDB are in all invaluable to gaming on Linux.

Keep your games on an NTFS disk or partition, and both OSes can access it.
