Now you know how linux users feel

but there aren't any games on linux ☹️

Nearly every game that runs on Windows runs just fine on Linux nowadays, with some setup on your first run.

Nobara os makes it even simpler.

Nobara is a fedora distro that's optimised really well for gaming by the developer of proton-ge.

I feel like non-steam games often dont work or dont run very well... I use Wine so if you have something better for launching exe I would be glad to get it

Checked it out and it literally uses Wine for launching games so I'd expect it to perform the same as just using Wine

Basically the only major ones not running on Linux are the ones using a ring 0 anticheat at this point.

There are if you use steam. I have yet to run into a game I couldn’t play. Granted, I only play like three games, but still.

I've been astounded at Linux support since I got my steam deck. Gaming on Linux has come a long way for sure.

Last time I primarily ran Linux Lutris was a godsend for every game not on Steam, but also Proton wasn't as good as it is now so I'm really curious just how smooth it is now

([CurrentYear]+1) will definitely be the year of the Linux desktop!
