From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I wish there was an easy way to run Linux and Windows side by side. Only thing I need windows is for gaming, but I would gladly use Linux for everything else.
I've tried dual booting, but after some time it becomes a pain in the ass with my gaming and free time schedule being so hectic.
I've tried running it as a VM on Windows Hyper-V and VirtualBox, but it also proved to be a hassle with multiple monitors and different file systems.
Which game(s) are you having trouble running on Linux?
I admit it's been a long while since I've checked up on Linux gaming. My main games are PoE + all the 3rd party tools that you can't play without, BattleBit Remastered, Assetto Corsa + Competizione, F1 23, FH5, and W40k Darktide.
I also have Moza DD simracing setup, and AFAIK there are no drivers for Linux.
