As a guy that doesn't use Linux I must say, all the memes about it are making my brain hurt. Y'all are so much more knowledgeable on tech that I feel left out lol.

This one is pretty simple, if you want an explanation for it. Just pointing out all the wonderful under the hood improvements that valve, AMD and others have made to the state of Linux gaming, in meme form.

I've also noticed that since Linux is lighter weight compared to Windows games generally run faster. At least that is my experience when using a crummy $500 laptop.

Well there is

  • Vulkan (graphics API, successor to OpenGL which is used by e.g. Minecraft, CS Go i believe)
  • DXVK (compatibility layer for games created with the DirectX Framework by MS)
  • Lutris (game launcher for stuff you bought outside of steam, e.g. GOG, Epic, Uplay, etc.)
  • Steam and maybe Proton but idk.
  • i don't know what that Atom sign thingy is
