I’ve been linux exclusive since 2006, dual booted before.
Linux plays almost everything perfectly now except those with the nasty kernel-virus-style-drm stuff (which is surprisingly rare, most DRM’s work fine, it’s just those few garbage ones, and I won’t support companies that use that garbage anyway even if I were using windows), and it especially plays older stuff better than windows itself does, by a large margin in surprisingly many cases.

But just get a Steamdeck, lol, you can hook it up to a monitor and all and use it like a desktop, but it’s all set up and optimized for linux gaming already.

If your game library is on Steam, then you can enable Proton compatibility for all games, and most of the games will play just fine. Including recent AAA games, like Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. If you run into any issues, just search through the ProtonDB.

Hey,

I used to use Manjaro for gaming since it has a very good support for it.
Also you can try Pop_OS!.

With Lutris you can play almost any games. I used to play GTAV etc.
I also used GWE to over clock my GPU.

And with the help of Proton DB you can check the support of your favorite game on Linux.

What a thrilling period right?
